Kenny Sia

Nuffnang Featured Blogger for the month of June

Hey guys, my name is Kenny Sia, and I am your Nuffnang Featured Blogger for the month of June.

This is my photo.

Yea I know it ain’t exactly Men’s Health cover model, but heck, being a Nuffnang Featured Blogger is still cool ok?!

My blog is located at kennysia.com. I registered that domain on the 1st January 2005 - back when I was still living in Perth, happily attached to my then-girlfriend and earning a comfortable salary as a software engineer. Unfortunately, things took a really bad turn for me then.

After realising that I would be going through a series of significant changes in my life, I took it upon myself to hop on the blogging bandwagon. Initially I wanted to do a technology blog much like the 1,925 copy-and-paste blogs out there, but I decided against that and chose to use kennysia.com as a means to document my life, and also to keep in touch with my friends from near and afar.

My style of blogging is best described as photo-blogging. Usually, I emphasize on using pictures to get my point across rather than using words. You might think that I’m being creative for doing that, but actually it’s just that I really suck at writing.

Somehow though, I still managed to develop a steady readership on kennysia.com. Among some of my more memorable blog entries in the past are:

A vibrating condom review.

An April’s Fool parody on some famous bloggers.

My response to fellow Nuffnanger Xiaxue on her marriage proposal.

Our very long road names in Kuching.

My experience with an anal-rententive officer at Singapore’s MRT station.

A parody on the ridiculous OSIM uZap advertisements.

My attempt to write a bimbo blog.

My instructions on how to make your own FIFA World Cup football.

And most recently, my review on the absurdly expensive automatic public toilets at Bukit Bintang.

Right now, I mainly blog about the quirks, the unusuals and the reality of the world around us. I also enjoy travelling immensely and my blog has served me as a travellouge of sorts.

It has been more than 2 years since I posted my first blog entry, and to be honest, I am pleasantly surprised that a lot of people actually take time to read the crap that I wrote. Since returning to Malaysia, I have made uncountable contacts and forged numerous strong friendships through people I’ve met via kennysia.com.

It is absolutely not an understatement to say that blogging has been a life-changing experience for me. What started out as an online diary and a hobby ended up becoming a vehicle for social networking and interaction. And now, with the help of Nuffnang, kennysia.com could potentially become a respectable side-income earner for me.

I hope it does the same for you too!

Well that’s about it from me, enjoy Nuffnang and do sign up!
