BUM 2007 edition was a big success and given of insufficient time and big demand in food, this year's edition was expanded with more speakers and more lamb as what people said last year.
Of course this time, the amount of lamb is twice than last year in addition to the same food as of last year's round - crab meat beancurd, spring rolls, fried rice, noodles..the most important of all is that everyone enjoyed the show, except of a slight altercation where there was a party gatecrasher later.
Last year, there are quite a number of Malay bloggers including Mahaguru, but this year, it was different, only a few. but the turnover was far beyond the limit, today it was around 130.
The list of speakers, chaired by Zorro and Desi (outgoing and chaired last year) are (in order):
First session:
In addition to meeting the usual bloggers that I've met, I had the pleasure of being introduced to Datuk Syed and his son, Syed Mohammad, who was a fan of Canon cameras and was willing to source out for a good deal in future. I also had the chance of being introduced to the Cap's partner, The Mindful Mariner. Patrick Teoh came over by surprise and we were talking a bit including his shirt and I gave him the chance to speak to my mother, a friend of his.
In some cases, some people told me in functions that I look familiar to someone else. My impression is that the other person looks like me but taller than me. I had to admit that when I look at Syed Mohd, it reminded me of Kalimullah or my friend Daim, but he said he look like someone else (can't remember the name).
Initially, the guest list includes Jeff Ooi and Steven Gan, but as said, Jeff could not make due to a trade mission for the state government in Vietnam but did left a video to be played and Steven was in Bangkok.
Second Session:
The message is clear: that blogging is a phenomenon and critical to society building.
