[edited. Sorry, my laptop's really down. Taht's why this update took so long, and it was only half-baked when I published it.]
Coupled with Ingo @ Wala Wala on Friday, this had to be my most non-anti-social weekend ever. (and I have a KTV session coming up on Monday! Whee!)
I won't go into details of the convention itself, but suffice to say, many many people were there (and many of you found out about my lurking =x)
So here's a list of the people I remember meeting or seeing (to anyone I left out, please leave a comment or message =x)
Sheena, Gabriel, Zhiyang, mr/mrs/miss/master brown, Mr Miyagi, jseng- huileng-yauyau, preetam, Adri, calmone, Xiaxue, Cowboycaleb, Daryl Sng, Scarlett Ting, Sassyjan, suspiciousbastard, DonAQ, Injenue, Eileen, Evan/Straydog Scraps, Airhole, SPG, KingMeng, NaiveGuy, Blinkymummy, Daniel, The Associate, Barffie, BigFuck, SillyCelly, expat@large, Makanguru
First Impressions of the people I spoke to:
Zhiyang: Awfully shy, nice curly hair (on his head la, dammit), has an extreme obsession with *ahem* =) aside to Zhiyang:if you don't get online soon, i'm not sending u pics of *ahem* liao hor! =p

Sheena (who needs no more comments or introduction =p), (extra me) and Zhiyang
Family brown: Watching them all is enough to warm your heart. How can you not love these two kids?

Mrs Lee/brown was very accomodating. One can see why she's commonly described by others as the silent pillar of strength. And I don't know if I'd allow strangers to carry my children like she allowed Sheena and I to carry hers =)
Scarlett Ting and Sassyjan: Really really very friendly people, especially Ting. Both of them insist that they needed to photoshop their photos before uploading, but I disagree. The only photoshop I did for them was Ting's twirl =p

Sassyjan, (extra me) and Ting.
With an even more extra Kenny Sia behind =p
Kenny Sia: no need to post pictures of him or say more about him la. =p Funny faces everywhere.
Adrian/DonAQ: The Evil one. I told him he looked like the evil younger brother of the nice mrbrown. Now I realise I've made a mistake. he really looks more like the evil younger brother of Sheena. Don't believe me? See for yourself. Also very excited (understandably) by tits.
Gerald/Injenue: He sounds like the live version of the cowboybar conversation motto, "All topics lead to...sex" haha...I'm kidding. Actually, i'm not sure if I'm kidding. Took a little while to warm up to talk to him, but interesting person to speak to =p
King Meng: Had a nice side conversation with him...Feeling a little *blah* that I can't help him with his jobsearch even though I work in recruitment... Another one of those twists in life: He's a Comp Engineer working in Auditing, while I'm a Biz major working in Engineering recruitment. lol. [ sorry, wrong info =x] The fastest one to reach my blog too =p
Big Fuck: he is THE Big Fuck, I tell ya. Lol. One of those who writes as he is. Everytime I see him, I have an urge to laugh. Too bad the alcohol was pathetic, if not it'd have been fun to see what he spews when drunk =p Very friendly.

Sheena, Don AQ, Injenue, KingMeng and Big Fuck.
Evan/StrayDog: The Funkiest Uncle alive! (And I don't mean his smell ok!) He really exudes this funky vibe I tell you...Very in-tune with young-people stuff. Hope we didn't leave you out! =D 
Don AQ, (err dunno who), Blinkymummy, KingMeng, Evan
Eileen: The babe is super funny. I don't know why, but hearing her speak in Hokkien just sounds as funny as listening to my boss try to speak in Mandarin =p Very down-to-earth point of view, but manages to remain funny-as-hell still =p

Eileen in the middle
Suspicious bastard: Knows YC (yo, yc, u reading this?) from back in sec school days, has very interesting way of talking. Need some more thinking in-depth than normal in order to know the links of what he just said to the topic at hand. Quietly funny in his own way.
 ( materials engineer @ work. heh)
Airhole: Super friendly person. Photo defaced at his request. Little dynamo...
These are the people I spoke to...There were so many many more I didn't dare speak to or take pictures with. Shy la. lol.
I think I've gotten to speak to more new people these two days than I normally do in a month (eeks). Also, despite my "vow" of secrecy, I've told some people my URL, as well as how to find my url via Sheena. Let's hope I don't regret this =x
By the way, Sheena, If that ST reporter didn't publish the story abt u cos I didn't wanna give my URL, sorry ok...Figured this morning that I should've given my really old URL, like one of those that has its last post dated 2003 or something =x
The story on Bloggers.SG was sucky anyway. Just because she wasn't made to feel welcome didn't mean it was a boring thing. =x heh

Gabe: see end of post
KM: Sorry sorry!! Edited. Crap! Now I dunno who's the guy who's in auditing while I'm in biz. i think it's Gerald =x
