Miss Loi: Hi celebrity tutor! :P Long time no see! ;) Haven’t congratulated you on your winning the Blog Award… great job!! :)

Jesta: Um, another word for finger spa could be “boyfriend” or “husband”. LOL.

-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-: Well, thank you very much for your compliments on me, but I would like to make a few points about the issue you raised.

I feel that pro-bloggers should be in a different category as star bloggers. Pro-bloggers are bloggers who earn money from blogging. Star bloggers are famous for something or other. For example, none of the Star bloggers in Stomp are pro-bloggers. But they’re called Star bloggers because they’re just well-known personalities. :P And in a way, you could say that, the four of us in the iTest program are automatically pro-bloggers now because we have been commissioned to write this blog which is not our own. Haha. :P

The bloggers picked in this program all have a sizeable readership base and a certain popularity. :)

Joseph: Thank you for your comment and your support of this campaign! :)

geraldine_is_here: Thank you dear! Apprecaite your support very much! :)

Blog-maniac: hehe… good luck to you! :)

cheryl loo: lol, thanks! She’s really cute lah. I hope I get to meet her again!

Hmm as for the comment above, I beg to differ. The other bloggers are also reowned in their own rights. I follow c-Net’s tech blogs pretty often, and enjoy Nichola Aaron’s geekonomic reviews, so he’s definitely a respected reviewer in my opinion.
TypicalBen was also featured in the Straits Times amongst some other popular bloggers in Singapore, and I know of many youths who look-up to him in blogosphere.

So I would venture to say, this gadget review thing is first-of-its kind and will definitely attract good viewership!

Sheylara, u made the right choice to be of this worthy tech campaign! You go girl!

I think it’s rather underwhelming. Singapore’s Top 4 bloggers? Two of them with novice Blogger-hosted blogs, and one of them a total gadget-noob, how could they be the Top 4? Other than you, Sheylara, which is definitely deserving.

I don’t see how one bold grandmother’s overrated blogging efforts can bring here to nationwide “blog stardom”, if that’s even a proper phrase to use, or how some guy obsessed with polka dots and camwhoring can be considered a pro-blogger.

My question to the project organisers is, do they even know the definition of a pro-blog, or a pro blogger? Because to be a “star blogger”, it’s one step ahead of a “pro blogger”, which I can see 3 out of the 4 “candidates” picked for this event just ain’t “Star bloggers” at all.

EPIC PHAIL. This should have been up on Fail Blog if it wasn’t for you Sheylara, who deserved the place in the Top 4. And LZB and TypicalBen, I think you guys are more deserved in the bottom spots.

And I don’t think launching this event on the same day of the happenings of a major Apple event, where a revision of the MacBook lineup is almost a sure thing to happen, is a smart thing to do. Especially when you’re giving out an old Early-2008 MacBook model as a prize.

Before I go, my point is… this is a Totally Epic Failure, IDA! Apparently, you guys have never fail to, well… FAIL. My message to the IDA guys is, please get yourself educated more on IT! Because you’re…. IDA! And, same for the MDA guys too… Argh.
