Play The 7 Links Challenge!

Lately, there’s a challenge bouncing around the blogging community & I was tagged by 2 lovely bloggers to join in the game.

I recalled the 1st time I visited Quay Po Cooks, I was amazed not just by Veronica's cooking, but also her photography skills. A mommy blogger like myself, she blogs about her yummy recipes as well as her loving family life.

As for A Little Lunch, I was impressed by Kimby's lovely comments the first time she visited my blog recently. I’m glad she did cause I’m enjoying hers too. A new blogger that packs a punch!

Thank you ladies, for thinking of me & adding me to the game! My 7 links:

1) The most beautiful post: 80th Birthday, Ageing Gracefully

Like Veron, my most beautiful post is also going out to my mother. I’m rather attached to her, a stunning lady both inside & out. I also hope that through this post, old folks can learn to lead an active life like my mum & her friends.

2) The most popular post: Encounter With The Deadly Japanese Delicacy

In terms of the number of hits, this is one of the most popular posts I’ve written to date. It’s a very interesting article about my little exploration in Japan. Enter at your own risk! Hahaha! Be sure to watch the video clip.

3) The most controversial post: Visit To The Nanking Massacre Site

I enjoy reading a lot & I’ve always wanted to get my hands on “The Rape of Nanking”. I’d worked in Japanese organizations for many years & Japanese detest this book. I’ve a lot of good Japanese friends & hence, I only pick up this book after I left working for them. You’ll understand why I chose this as the most controversial post when you read on.

4) The most helpful post: How To Prepare A Live Lobster

A seafood wholesaler had contacted me some time back & offered to supply me with lobsters in exchange for my recipes. This has to be the most helpful post due to the high number of hits. You'd better give me some credit for wrestling with these creepy crawlies! LOL!

5) A post that was surprisingly successful: Non-bake Delicious Cheesecake

Most of you would've known by now that I can't bake for nuts. Thank God this yummy Cheesecake needs no baking at all; it was my first attempt. Not only I was surprised that my students love it, it also generated a lot of comments. Do check this out if you can’t bake like me. LOL!

6) A post that did not get the attention it deserves: How to spot that fake bag!

I felt that this is a well-written article that ought to get merit for it. I wrote the post based on my shopping experience in designer bags & of course, my “Black Belt In Shopping” title. Ha! I want my readers to have at least some basic knowledge on how to tell the difference between a counterfeit & an authentic bag before parting with their hard-earned money on one.

This post, together with a list of Guides to Authentic Bags, generated 0 comments. I guess that was because I’d just started blogging then & didn’t know how to reach out to the audience. I hope that through these posts, I can educate my readers to spend wisely. It'll be great to see your comments on these few posts as well. Please share if you found them useful so your friends can benefit from it too.

7) A post I am most proud of: Laksa, Freebies Galore At Changi Airport

I’m a true blue S’porean & love every bit of it. I love my airport, which is the world’s most awarded “Best Airport”, with more than 370 accolades under its belt. I’m proud to be able to share with travellers what you can do & see at Changi Airport.

As part of the game, I’m going to tag 7 bloggers to join in the challenge. These are a mixture of bloggers whom I’ve met recently & some I've known for a while. They’ve all been very supportive of my blog & I’d like to thank them for taking their time, leaving me their wonderful comments:
