merkal2005: Hi Jeanchia, please tell us something about yourself and your lovely country.

jeanchia: Hi Merkal, thank you for your interest.
Let’s start with my name first. My name is Jean, a Chinese lady in her 25. As you know, I am from Malaysia. My interests are food, fashion, pets, arts and travels.
Now, about my country. Malaysia is a beautiful multiracial country with Malay being the largest ethnic group, followed by Chinese and Indian. Of course, there are also others minor ethnic groups like Kadazan, Iban and Bajau. Despite the differences in all these ethnic groups, we live in peace and harmony, complementing each others to share and learn about cultural mosaic and vision of the nation. Our national flower is the beautiful Hibiscus also known as Bunga Raya and was chosen by our first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1960.
What I love most about my country is that the many cuisines we can get here. For instance, we have malay food which is often described as spicy, Chinese food which uses steaming technique almost all the time, Indian food which uses spices as the heart of their cooking, Nyonya food which is an interesting amalgamation of Malay and Chinese cuisines and the list goes on…. (my stomach is growling just thinking of it)


merkal2005: When did you start blogging and why? What are your long term targets?

jeanchia: I started my first blog at friendster. It was called Drifting Along The Line, meant to be my online life journal. I lose my interest in blogging since my dad’s accident. Everytime I wanted to blog, I would think of my dad and my post would be sad and gloomy. So, I stopped.
I started back blogging in March this year with an intention to share my recipes and happy moments. My first post was on 24 March, which is about my precious niece. She’s a sweetheart to me. ^^
I know nothing about the world of blogosphere until I joined MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog which has given me a great opportunity to meet other great and intelligent bloggers around the world.
I hope that my blog, A Great Pleasure would be a platform for me to share my recipes and other life related stories with bloggers around the world, as well as with my friends whom I seldom meet due to our hectic schedules.


merkal2005: Have you ever been to Istanbul before ? Would you be interested in a blogger's meeting in Istanbul?

jeanchia: No. But it’ll be a great pleasure to be able to visit your interesting country.
Hmm.. a blogger’s meeting in Istanbul? If accommodation and airtickets are sponsored, sure, why not? I love meeting up with new peoples. :)
