goes by the name veron (english) or wanting (chinese). a definitive leo born august 1, 1984. a solo traveler. loves cats, coffee, sensual music, yummy food and technology. when she's not at her job as an IS developer for the government, she's likely to be out dining, or visiting an interesting art gallery or event.
dear blog readers, i am seeking your help. my blog has been entered into the blogfest 2006 organised by the national university of singapore arts club. i’m in the running, along with other finalists, for the “most creative blog” title.
the most creative blog is the one judged to have “creativity in design, writing and aesthetics“. all the finalists under the “most creative blog” are listed here so you could take a look before deciding who to vote for. if you love reading my blog, and love its design as well, please drop me a vote! don’t worry if you are not from NUS, because voting is open to all, and voters get to win goodies such as mp3 players.
i have been blogging ever since late 2003 and this blog has been through 10 major revamps. i even bring a digital camera with me to take photos everywhere i go, just so to make my blog more beautiful and interesting. i would say this blog has come far and helped me in getting various jobs. however, this is the first time i’m entering any blog competition, and i really would like to have your support.
so… please vote sparklette.net!
the voting process goes like this:
1. firstly, please register yourself over here if you haven’t. it’s pretty simple, they only ask for your user name and your email address. the system-generated password is emailed to you.
2. next, you log in over here with the given password.
3. then proceed to vote! my blog is in the second category called the “most creative blog” listed as “Lord can you tell me? How far is Heaven?” @ /
yes! it is that simple! well actually not really, because even before voting you have to register, and then log in with the random password that doesn’t seem to be changeable, which means you have to keep the email in your mailbox.
BUT! you get to win stuff if you vote! 100 voters would win asialinx privilege cards worth $38 (i don’t actually know what that is) and california fitness vouchers! even if you have something against voting, i would say the california fitness vouchers are worth changing your mind for.
damn, i hope to win those vouchers too! there would be 100 of these so i would say the chances are very good. these are pretty good deals just for sitting at your computer and clicking away.
mandy zhang, one of the committee members behind blogfest 2006 emailed me today, reminding me to pull in voters. voting actually commenced on february 27, and would end on march 27. i’ve had a late start in this competition, and have only managed a measly 8 votes so far (1 of which is self-voted, so it doesn’t really count). you only get to vote once per day though, so please help by voting everyday.
thank you! any kind of support would be much appreciated.

Personally, your blog was by far the most eye catching and interesting to read. And including photos in your blogs was what originally drew me here over and over. ^_^
*votevote* :D Good luck! View all comments by Mandy
thank you mandy! i know i can always count on your support. View all comments by Veron
Late start huh? That might account for the lack of votes one was wondering about. :p View all comments by aristocrat
Yup. Hope to catch up with you soon:P View all comments by Veron
Hey there, I stumbled onto your blog 4 days ago, and I have yet to find a better (non-professional) one anywhere on the Internet.
I have no doubt you’ll win as you have by FAR the best design and history as well (your archives are really extensive)! Extremely interesting, and funnily enough, I also take photographs of food as a hobby (much to the annoyance of all my friends).
I never usually write comments in blogs of people whom I have never met before in real life but I decided to make an exception and register just to vote for you (and yeah, I hate registering again and again at different websites, but you truly deserve to win this).
If I get the fitness voucher, you can have it, since you want it so much, haha. I’m more a socially active person, won’t go anywhere near a gym unless someone goes along too. (I want the Mp3 player though!) ;)
So now that I’m not anonymous anymore, I might just post a few more comments from now on… All the best and don’t worry - you’re sure to win! View all comments by Kyo
Will vote 4 u…. :) View all comments by Guess again
finally saw your work been appreciated….been your loyal supporter, u have my vote View all comments by neo
Wow Kyo, your comment really really really brightened my day!! i think it’s been a long time since i received such a nice long feedback from a blog reader.
I really appreciate the fact that you even notice my archives are there because most people don’t even know they exist!
I am surprised to see another foodie here! Yup I take photos of food everytime. My friends are already nonchalant as they themselves are regular readers of my blog and know what I’m doing.
Thank you so much for the appreciation, and the vote, and the fact that you are willing to give up the fitness voucher to me should you win *LOL*. I myself haven’t been to a gym in a long time so I just might pay a visit this time!
Once again, thanks very much! And I will look forward to seeing you here again. You really made my day :D View all comments by Veron
a million thanks to neo for being such a loyal supporter these years. i’m glad to be in the competition too as this is the first time ever and it actually feels exciting. thanks for the vote! please vote everyday! View all comments by Veron

Judging by the looks of it, anything is possible Yaohui. There’s still the better part of a month to go and she’s already catching up. You go too :)
Good luck!
P.S.:Btw, can your friends vote daily? It seems mine can’t. View all comments by aristocrat
Nobody can vote daily I suppose.
The voting system only allows people to vote once. View all comments by Yaohui
done! :) View all comments by zeited
However I have voted more than once, in fact three times in a day for the same NUS Best Blog hahaha. Infuriated that someone else should be winning but now all has been set right for the moment. View all comments by aristocrat
Hi there,
mandy zhnag from blogfest06. It’s good to know you are pulling in votes!
Anyway, the mp3 player is meant for the winners of the competition, not the voters. For voters, prizes include the asialinx card and california vouchers.
Anyway, keep up the good work!

yo babe, read from your blog that you bought new skates. you seem quite serious about learning skating hahaha… for executing turns i do it when i move one leg more than the other. i think that’s the beginner way of doing it.
thanks for voting for me! View all comments by Veron
yo neo, if you wanna buy new skates then maybe you should check out the skate shops at east coast park. sportslink doesn’t sell good skates.
thanks a lot for voting! View all comments by Veron
hey yaohui and aristocrat, good luck for the blogfest 2006. yeah it really seem as though voters can only vote once and that’s it. no wonder the blogs in the other two categories are racking up many times more votes than ours. View all comments by Veron
thanks Gypsyangelz for the kind comment. thanks a lot too for the vote! great to have the support of a blog reader. View all comments by Veron
Oops Mandy (Zhang), sorry for the error. I do recall reading from somewhere that one lucky voter would win the mp3 player. Must be a mistake then. I have edited my entry to reflect that.
By the way, it seems voters are only allowed to vote once and that’s it, instead of daily. Please look into this matter too. Thanks. View all comments by Veron
yo bitch! voted for you alr lar… tmd.. it’s sooo troublesome to have to reg to vote. but your blog’s good.. and the last time i looked, it’s leading in votes! wooohoOO! don’t forget to treat my n me _when_ you win huh.. hahaha… all the best! =) =) View all comments by di
