Thank You Nancy Poh

It was a moody day for me today.

Yesterday I was invited to attend a Forum organized by AsiaICTpmp held at KGNS Subang. I couldn't stay with them the whole session and had to excuse myself. When I got home I straight went to bed as I just felt lousy and sick. I slept the whole night through ... eh 15 hours of sleep.

Today as I was browsing through the blog spheres I came across this blog site: Philosophy Recycled and the article What are your favourite news blogs?.

I am extremely delighted to note that Nancy included my blogsite as one of her favourite. Thank you, Nancy, and thank you so much to make my day. To be ranked alongside Malaysia-Today, Malaysiakini and The Malaysian Insider is a great honour and a moral accreditation of some sort. As an unpaid amateur blogger, the honour accorded motivates me and you make my day a pleasant one. Thank you once again.

P/S:

I must also thank X'tina Kong and Nina Vanderveen for the same honor accorded.

Hi Mav,

If it should brighten your day even further - your blog is one of my top FVBs (Frequently Visited Blogs).

I enjoy your write-ups ie the serious issues as well as the humorous ones.

Thank you for keeping your blog going to keep the readers informed and entertained, as well as providing a platform for free discussion.

Gan,

Thank you as you certainly brightens my day. BTW, did you have a blog?

The write up about your news blog was posted by one of your readers on our community forum. I am sure he has generated a number of new fans for you in Bandar Sungai Long, me included. Keep tickling us, Maverick.

Good Blog Mave, Keep it up the way it is now.

bayi said...

Have I ever told you, Mave, that your blog is one that I must read everyday? The others on my list are Malaysiakini and Rocky's Bru.

But I have you on top of my list.

william yeoh said...

i used to go all over until i found you

i hit your site the first thing in the morning and the last before i go to sleep

keep up the good work and my salutes to you!

lucia said...

face it, mave, many people love your blog lah (including me, who visit daily without fail). remember sometime back (before jeff ooi become DAP member), i put you together with jeff ooi, saying your blog is as interesting, if not much more then jeff's. well now that jeff is a MP and no time blogging, for sure you are way better than him! :)

no doubt you take news from here and there (online media eg star) but you always gave your own opinion on the news... and in such interesting and witty way. like gan, your blog is my top FVB too!

Unknown said...

Mav

you have been propogating transparency, accountability, responsibitily, no corrupt zone etc, all for the better well being of the rakyats.

rest assured, you are recognised aplenty by readers and bloggers, including those Rocky Bru even RPK.

if these known bloggers ignored you, no way they commented good points into your blog page.

thumbs up and keep it up!

CK Tan,

I want to thank you so much for spending valuable time to read my rantings and beratings. I will do my best to make the reading worthwhile.

Anon 2:17,

I normally do not address Anon's comment as I have appealed many times to Anons to use Moniker or Nickname which helps me address them and at the same time to distinguish the many Anons.

But I have to address your comment this time because I felt indebted to you for being my regular reader and commenter. I want to thank you and I want you to know how much your support mean to me. Thank you again.

Jefus,

Thank you very much for your kind support and the valuable hours you spent at this blog. I have to say with extreme gratefulness that you had been my regular commenter and had motivated me much; as you know, this blog have quite some visitors but the commenters are few. I used to visit many other blogs and even though their traffic is far less their comments are 3-5 times more than mine. It does posed question on my thoughts to ponder whether I had not being writing articles that suits their taste or of which they could enjoy. But you have been so regularly writing comments and I must admit that I am elated and delighted by your support. Thank you Jefus.

Anon 2:39,

As I had said to Anon 2:17, I want to thank you personally here and how much more it would mean to me if you could use a Moniker or Nickname so as to permit me to address you with a personal touch and appreciation. I am extremely delighted with your good words said and can appreciate you more if you would allow me to address you with a name. Thank you.

Anak Merdeka,

You are my buddy and of course I oso lup u wor. It surely make my day.

Constant Drama,

Thank you so much and humbly, I am not fehmes. I have to thank you for being a regular and the words I want to you is exactly what I had addressed to Jefus as above (I do not want to CnP here but I truly mean what I had said to apply to you too).

Abdullah,

Thank you very much and I am extremely delighted to have a friemd who is not a Malaysian but would enjoy my rantings and beratings of local domestic issues. I hope I didn't bore you down with an almost all Malaysian rhetorics.

And I am delighted to know that you visited 6 times a day to my humble blog. Thank you.

Anon 5:14,

As addressed to Anon 2:17 & 2:39, I wish to extend my similar greetings and appreciations for the support and for spending your precious time here. I also wish that you will provide me a name to address you such as Anon 4:50 who I can address as En Abdullah. Thank you in advance.

Bayi,

Yes you told me but this blog is yours!!! Thanks bayi and I truly treated this blog as ours. Many do not know that you were the providers of the jokes but I have to acknowledge it here so that I do not take all the credits that you deserve.

William,

Thank you so much for making me a proud father; as least I have a son who appreciate his father's writings.

And William, you must thank Uncle Bayi too.

Maverick SM said...

jojoamalee,

Thank you very much for the support and I am surely motivated by your words. I also salute your dedication to my rantings and hope I would not bore you down.

Ling Ling Chatt,

First and foremost I must thank you that you had been an extremely regular commenter here and with all these comments it provide me with the impetus to motivate my thoughts and ideology and put them in writings.

I will remember you as you are the renown 007. I hope you will attend the BUM2008 and we can meet in person so that I can proclaim that I have met James Bond.

Mav,

A late entry by time of day as well as for this article but I join your other fans to say that your blog has been a must read for me. I keep a tab for Malaysiakini, one for Malaysia-Today and one for blogs. For the last tab, I traverse between Rockys Bru, Yours and Susan Loone. I like your stand on most issues which is balanced and open. I also admire your research or depth of information and effort put into each article. I hope to be able to allocate time to blog like you in near future.

Cheers!

Hi Mav,

See ... my nightcap is a visit to your site.

Alas, I am one of those who is brave enough to comment but not brave enough to blog.

Well, one fine day ... I might gather enough courage to start blogging, learning by example especially a fine exmaple like you.

Cheers ...

Maverick SM said...

Msiaman,

Thank you very much and I am truly honored to have your support. I must say that I have to spent much time to do research and informations in order to write an article and often it takes me 6-8 hours to do so each day. The only way I can spare the time is at night and very often I can only get to bed by 3-4am each day. It's tough blogging but I enjoy it because of all the support from all of you.

Gan,

You are an exceptional fan. Thank you very very much.

lucia said...
