The Z-List (Updated)
Edit: Firstly thanks to momofthree for the add. I have actually done this before, in an earlier entry (thanks to Cincauhangus and Che-cheh). I didn’t know it was the so-called “Z-list”, which has been quite a buzz on the net. Anyway I’ve also got some new adds I’d like to share with you guys. Usually, I read them using a feedreader. So let me finalize my list of new additions/recommendations (depending on how you like to look at it) to the list:-
First add:
This guy was among the earliest readers at Narrowband.org (this blog was set-up only in December last year). He said he calls Subang his second home, as most of his relatives live here. He once confessed that he liked me my nickname Narrowband. As an aspiring Wordpress-guru, he gets a kick out of having an XHTML valid site. He is Cincauhangus aka Aaron.
Second add:
Golden retriever. A really beautiful golden retriever. No I’m not talking about the blogger - I’m talking about her pet dog. The blogger herself is an engineer (*salute*!), and is also a Subangite (Whoops!). She is one extremely entrepreneurial woman. You can tell by the second-hand items she’s selling on her site, as well as the paid reviews she’s been writing. I heard George Lucas presented her with lightsaber as a gift because she loved his movies so much. Don’t play play. She is Che-cheh.
Third add:
Whoa this girl and I go way back. Lol I mean she was already on my blogroll when I was blogging at blogspot long time ago. We can connect in so many ways lah I tell you. We’ve got a mutual friend, who is my former roommate’s girlf. Her younger brother is also studying in the same university. She writes well, listens to a lot of good music, and enjoys photography. She is Julee.
Fourth add:
I enjoy reading this girl’s blog a lot. We also have a mutual friend, whom I met online in year 2001, I think. Don’t expect to find English entries on her blog. They’re all in only two languages: Mandarin and Hokkien. Waitaminute, I thought it’s a well-known fact that Narrowband can’t read Chinese? Look, I may not be Chinese-educated but I *can* read some ok! What more with all the hi-tech translators and programs readily available on the net to aid us ‘bananas’. Dear readers, I present to you, Sanyeong’s blog. (Btw, her Hokkien very ho liao wan.)
Fifth add:
Lastly, here is a blog that I stumbled upon via MyBlogLog not too long ago. It took only 3 visits before I decided to subscribe to her RSS feeds. She is a Singaporean blogger, married with a son, Jaymes. One of her most recent entries was about her encounter with her first love, how she handled the situation and how she felt after that. I could almost imagine it in my head. She writes in impeccable English, and sometimes include a line or two of Chinese phrases as well. And because we’re not of the same age group, I find her blog enlightening. She is in the East Coast of Singapore; she is eastcoastlife.
The Originals:
(Note: I realize that there is at least one repeated link, so I don’t really expect a response from everyone. It’s a matter of choice, really. Up to you, ok? ;-) )

26 Feb 2007 narrowband
LoL! I felt like i won an oscar!
So here’s my victory speech:
I would like to thank my cats for feeding theirselves everyday eventhough no one would feed them once in a while. I also would my mother for laying me our from her womb and my dad planting the seed. I also would like to thank Narrowband for putting out a good word for me. Thank you Thank you!
LoL.. :P
wait. i’m the only guy on the list. why ah? u’re not what my mind is thinking right? :P
Hi dear!
Thanks for the mention on your blog & the add to Z-list! :)
Hope to meet you one day should I go to KL.
Cheers.
Wah i feel so honoured!! My lucky number is three too ;), can you read my mind? hehe
Actually, i still dont get what is a Z-List. :p
Oh btw, Happy Early Chap Goh Meh! :D
Hi narrowband,
Love what you did with the Z List. The little introductions were great and it actually got me clicking on all the blogs to check them out.
Excellent job.. and thanks again!
Sorry I should have mentioned it as The Z-list.
I felt so honoured la Hehehe.
btw I’m not a Subangite.
i still dont understand the term. why Z list?
Oh c’mon Cincau, gimme a break! ;)
ECL - Sure thing! You deserved it! Bloggers’ meet? I’m game!
Julee - I didn’t quite get it in the beginning. I still haven’t really got it now. Hehe. It’s so unlike those memes we used to do huh? This one isn’t a meme at all - it’s more like recommending some links and pass the list on to your circle of friends (I think), hence the many versions of the list.
Wow you’re early. Participating in orange-throwing? You don’t need to lar - just wink at some dude you like and you’re halfway there. I heard guys throw bananas. Is it true? I’ll have to write my name and handphone (probably MSN and blog URL too? hehe) on it.
Thanks for stopping by, Maki. I’m glad the introductions worked. I hope you like reading them too!
Oops sorry Che-cheh. *red-faced*
Smashpop - That’s a good question. For this, I will need Maki’s help. Read it here. It should answer your question fairly well! A quick search on Google would also take you to the creator’s blog.
Yeah! my name is there on the list too.
Adam, there are hundreds of different versions of the list, because as the list gets passed around, people add their favorite blogs and sometimes redundancy is common! I don’t expect to get alot of reciprocal links from this exercise, though.
