 My family and I had just come back from our Raya break yesterday.  After five days being away, with no computer, everyone was eye-balling the computer.  But who had the use of it first??  Yes, you are right, the boss (the head of the household).  I had to wake up early this morning just to make sure I can have the use of this computer.

The Bloggers Meeting (dalam intonasi Doraemon).......... my version

The meeting was the highlight of my Hari Raya.  As I have commented at drroza's site, meeting everyone there was like meeting long lost friends.  And they are no ordinary friends here.  They are people you have come to know from their entries, people who have actually shared their inner thoughts, views and opinions, likes and dislikes...  So it is like you have already known them for months or years.  But meeting pycno for the 'first' time is something else..............

pycno

I could see that he had put in so much effort in this gathering - the food, presentation, the overall ambience and  the way he entertained his guests deserved  an A grade.   But I could see that he was all flustered  when he was giving his short introductory speech.  I think I can understand because all eyes were on him.  Guess he did not realise that we were all as nervous as him if not more. 

drroza

Why... you are sooo sweet and demure, you crowd-puller you.   You look every inch of a good doctor and believe me you guys, you'd be blessed to be treated by this good doctor.  Now I understand why your patients love you so much, to the extent that you get rambutans and all during the fruit seasons.

ikelah

You still look a wee bit exhausted.... possibly you have not fully recovered from your Pakistan trip??  You and drroza are a perfect ideal couple, blessed with beautiful good-looking and intelligent children. 

Nurelhuda

I can immediately see the leader in you.  With your background, you have no problem at all in striking out a conversation and get very much engaged in discussions.   But I particularly like when you say that there are no right  or wrong answers.   No wonder people can easily open up to you  ....... like pycno has (I can sense that something you have said triggered  him to organise this gathering).

hiyoshi

I could see that he was very nervous and tongue-tied initially, despite having his parents there.  Maybe he was expecting his mother to hold his hands?  But drroza managed to break the ice with him and make him feel more comfortable.  He is like what he has described about himself in his entries - extrovert in his entries but an introvert in person.  Hiyoshi, my advice to you is, first impression counts.  You cannot take too long a time to warm up.  Kalau jadi doktor nanti, you are going to lose patients if they misinterpret you for being sombong.

maman

Poor maman, tak ada rakan sebaya.  But I could see that he did have a good time watching tv and poking fun with his siblings.

All in all, it was great fun.  I was made to understand that hiring 'the secretary' costs pycno a hand and a leg.  Dia kena belanja makan and also buy  story books at Borders.  You know lah books there are so expensive.

I know that I want to meet all of you again.......so please, the rest of you who were not here.  Try not to miss the next meeting??  Next Raya ke Nurelhuda?

After reading the sentence "dalam intonasi Doraemon", I couldn't get the picture of that blue cat robot out of my head. Now I have this mental picture that inositol looks like Doraemon T_T

I am quite aware of my weakness in terms of striking up a conversation (both my parents are forever ticking me off about this). I'm slowly trying to overcome this problem, and by slow, I do mean slow T_T

inositol; thanks for the compliments yg melimpah ruah. Susah betul nak comment bila kena tulis berlapik lapik ni...hehe. Anyway it was great meeting you the minah kilang wanabe. But guys, this Minah Kilang has made it big. No Pycno, no Mat Rempit dares to even bat an eye at her! Btw Sofi called and said 'memang semua sengaja buat meeting masa dia tak da. Takpe she said she has ways and means to find out who Pycno is and that she'll hold a separate meeting without us, huhuh...!!!"

I think I know why people are all so hesitant to say anything about pycno's spouse (aka 'beloved').....you guys have just met her, never read any of her entries.  The only hints of her has always been through pycno's entries.  The inquisitive drroza even thought that beloved was inositol.  And suddenly, there was this MEETING !!

Nasib baik lah my beloved ni betul-betul baik.....boleh dia peluk drroza lagi.  Or can it be because it was Raya celebration....time to forgive and forget.

So, now that beloved has forgiven you, dont you forget-forget lagi ye drroza...!!

And beloved, my advice to you is: please start your own blog.  Berani lah sikit orang nak beri komen, when they know that you are one of them - bloggers!!

I agree with both nurelhuda and pycno that beloved should blog. In my conversation with her, she admitted that she's not too good at putting her thoughts in black and white. But, insyaAllah she will, one of these days.

drroza - I pun rasa susah juga cakap berlapis-lapis ni. Why pycno put us all in this difficult situation, and why did we agree to take that oath, eh?

By the way, drroza, send my warmest regards to iFos. Having met pycno, I am sure that he would oblige to meet her when she comes back for her hols. When is it?

I had about seven hours of tv (not to mean one hour per day though :p) each week when I was a child, and I could never miss Doraemon!

this version of the Fellowship of the Bloggers gives me a more personal account for those who were present... i just wish there was more on this mysterious pycnogenol ;)

Skye - The reason why ALL of us have not written much about pycno, was the "IKRAR" he made us all take.
Tell you what skye, you be more inquisitive and investigative like drroza, and less complacent like Ayumi, then YOU WILL get to know the man.
Problem is, once you know him, you will be just like one of us. We know the secret, but we cannot be saying a word. As ladies, tahu saja lah....bagai gunung berapi nak meletup, tapi tak boleh meletup juga....sebab takut kena ketuk kepala kat pycno !!!! :))
