Hi thanks for those who supported me here.

I also love to write and such award certainly spur us to write more.

I hope that more people will come out to write for TOC.

BTW ST forum also invited forum writers for a gala gathering on 17 Feb. Maybe we may have makan and a propaganda talk who knows? Haha.

Anyway thanks again for those who supported me in my writing.

Cheers.

Okay, okay . . . we shall debate on the money issue.

But to take up agongkia’s suggestion further, why not a send the winner for an art course in France and learn how to write perfectly these words:

“Harry Lee, I Love You”.

Hey Hey Hey…………… I think they contribute not becos of money so money is out.TOC may give winners ticket to the Singapore Flyers for monthly contest or maybe a ticket to Korea for yearly contest to attend a one week cooking course on how to make Kimchi.I think learning how to make Kimchi is much cheaper.

Ehm….. applause please (taking a bow) …. I thank my father, my mother my…..huh? ……what?….. oh, I see …… only nomination ah!…… so malu……so sorry…..(head bowed and walking away).

Thanks, observer, for the vote but I would differ it to SD or Zefly anytime. My comments have mostly been from the heart but SD and Zefly are very much well thought out with lots of humour at times. Humour is something that is sorely lacking in our soceity. For this alone, they deserve it more than I.

And yes; 4 figures for the year’s best and 3 figures for the month’s best.

best writer is definitely KJ / Best article, the one abt the Chua sisters / Best runner up Choo / Best guest contributor Balji / Best commentator. Gemami, SD and Zefly.

Money is the best reward. At least 4 figures for the yearly one and 3 figures for the monthly awards

Nothing. The recognition itself should be reward enough.

January is not over yet but the Chua Lee Hoong article is good so far.

I would vote the article:
“Spending thousands for a cooking course – on holiday”
as the best for January.
It aptly depicts the kind of society that we have sadly become as a result of the great divide between the elites and the havenots.
It also shows clearly that such an unequal society has resulted in the new unhealthy hobby for the successful people in our society to boast about their wealth and achievements to the envy and dismay of the lesser folks. Instead of boasting and flaunting their wealth to the lesser people, such successful people should have made it their hobby to partake in any mission to help the lesser members among us.

If the comparison is article for article, then the Bee Hoon article must win, hands down.

I agree with #14) agongkia that we must recognise all contributions, and Gilbert Goh can be declared the winner in ‘The Best Consultant’ category(?) – well; if there is more than one award, that is, this is where my vote will go to.

All writer’s contribution should be recognise but whoever you choose,don’t miss out Gilbert Goh.I am ready to vote for him.

While all the writers so far have been impressive,
KJ deserves an award
to encourage him to continue his good work
for the community.

Wait for Seng Han Thong to recover, since his article would probably be voted in a close second behind the Bee Hoon sister. He can give the award and perhaps Joshua can inquire over his injury to share with us here in TOC and possibly win another award.

Shall we invite Chua Lee Hoong to give out the award to KJ? :)

Hi,
Most writers are great.
But 1 article the impressed me more than any other so far
is KJ’s article : DISGRACE : the life and times of Chua Lee Hoong.
So far, even the article on ah Seng has not yet received more comments & views than his.

By: Zefly (aka Joshua Chiang)

Zefly (aka Joshua Chiang) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:32:01 +0000

Yes please do Andrew. I also mental case. You have to watch your back.

By: gemami

gemami — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:29:18 +0000

Never mind, we have already decided that the article on Ms Chua of the Bee Hoong gang has already won, and since Joshua is the first to recommend it, he shall be declared the winner. So, please hand the cheque to him, make out to the charitable organisation of his choice; POWBC.

Congrats! to you Zefly!
