No one got all 12 items right (does the green stuff really look like kai lan?? LOL!), so we assigned points to each correct answer. We tallied the results, and the winners are… *drumroll*

Question: How many Singapore bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Answer: None. They don’t change lightbulbs!

They get invited to cool events like last Saturday’s #samsungconvo, take photos, and write about said events and said photos.

Non-lightbulb-changing bloggers also get to have a photog lecturer run a little hands-on food photography workshop in a small li’l diner at Telok Kurau.

Big thanks to these good folks for organising this event: Jimmy & Zach from Silverbullet, and Stephanie & Daniel from Samsung. Thank you for hand-picking The Garden Slug as the venue for your photography workshop.

Lawrence Teo of Peepshow Machine is an extraordinary photography guru. (Click here for Lawrence’s photos of the event!) The slugs picked up a couple of good tips too, during the hands-on session.

And as for the non-lightbulb-changing Singapore bloggers, add them to your feedreader!

Joke of The Week #2

In the trusty slug mobile heading towards a local hospital… Kenny slug was driving while Sophia slug was the co-pilot…

Kenny Slug : ” You know what? We are now travelling on the pie..

… so that we can go deliver some muffins! ahaha….. so funny!”

Sophia slug rolls eyes and proceeded to call the men in yellow to come to her rescue.

Betcha didnt know….

That 8 Nov is World Radiography Day! Neither did we… Until we were tasked to craft a bunch of love for the wonderful (& very important!) xray professionals from our local hospitals… It was a great feeling delivering cheer to folks on a gray and wet friday afternoon..

Something tells me that this may be the slugs’ favorite radiographic invention of all time…

TGIF ! Good night folks :-0
