Being recognised in public through the pictures and posts from your blog.

Hello Reanaclaire and Merryn, after reading this discussion, I started to worry... In fact, I blog about my daily life and my 2 kids. I love to post some pictures of my kids too. Until few weeks ago, my cousin went for my blog for the first time. She is shock to see so many of my kids pictures on my blog. She was telling me there is not good to post so many pictures of my kids in the blog, nice reader might enjoy your blog, what if they are so people who is not nice and can copy the pictures to do something bad on it. Or maybe someone can target on us by getting our information on the blog. Hence my cousin advise me to not exploring too much of personal information in the blog. As for facebook, we can always restricted what friends to add. And we can post what pictures we like at Facebook. But we can make some setting so that the pictures of us only can be view for our friends in the list only, not going for public viewing. So do you take any precaution after today's incident? Have you ever think of make your blog as a private blog to only people with password to log in?

reana, Why did not you approach her? Afraid of creating a freaky situation? I like it when we schedule to meet up. But being recognise this way for the very first time, it suddenly jolt my mind that I might have over expose my personal life and info. But what the heck. There is Facebook and people are sharing their photos there like crazy!

yes, i dare not approach her, she is a top blogger, as far as i know, earning a lot.. hahaa.. she is even in the papers so it is easy to recognise her, come to think of it, perhaps i should ask her to sign autograph.. lol... anyway, as u said, i prefer to meet up with those whom i know, not strangers whom i never talk to before, in blogs or whatsoever. anyway, not to worry too much about strangers calling u, after all, yours is a friendly blog .. :)

kev, I see your picture here! There can be stalkers in myLot too you know! Being recognise in public, I take it that my blog is 'popular' enough to create that awareness. But as you said, it is always good to exercise caution. Thankx kev.

Hmm....yeah. I've already removed my picture, yet it's still here but i don't see it when I create the discussion. Strange...

Hi there andrew, Yes, thank heavens she wasn't someone wacky or crazy! Or else I would seriously think of shutting down my blog! or at least privatise it. I never anticipated for this to happen to me too, you know, being recognise in the street. But it happens, and to think positively, well, at least there are readers to my blog!

Iriene, You were on tv? Regarding what? Why were you on tv? 2 episodes somemore! I wont know you if I bumped into you as your blog hardly have any pictures of you. If there is, it is very blur, hence I cant recognise you. Tell me, tell me more about your tv appearance.

Wow Iriene, you are a celebrity in your own league! Appeared in drama somemore. Hmm.. this I must really check out! :)

Dear submerryn, Hahaha..it was an old story..you can read about it in my blog (month of May - 'I am a Standout') That post won me two invites for the Nuffnang party My family and I was shorlisted to represent Malaysia for a 'family treasure hunt' in Hong Kong. We have to compete with other countries - India, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines. It is fully sponsored by Hong Kong Tourism Board...we stayed at Langham Place, Kowloon and Disney Hotel, Lantau Island. The 2 episodes was hosted by our well know celebrity MC - Stephanie Chye - it was on aired during Chinese New Year (first 2 Sundays 1 pm) in January 2007. We are the only country who managed to win 2 awards...It was an experience of a lifetime... I do appeared on local tv dramas 'Table for Two' ~ TV3. All the best and do keep in touch!

fscott0421 The first thing when I turn to look at her and didnt recognise her and she told me who she was, I was shocked. I didnt get to chat much with her as I was still in shock. I've never imagine this could happen to me as I never anticipate for anybody who did not know me to be interested in my blog. So as this is a first time for me, it did gets freaky. Eventhough she was all kind and all, still.. freaky!
