Sue Lynn @ Bangsar bAbE

Can you describe yourself in 140 characters.
Ambitious, narcissistic, talkative, animated and did I mention I make a damn good Kahlua chocolate cake?  

Righhhttt ... so, how did you start Twittering?
My friend @meishum persuaded me to try it. I ended up tweeting more than she does!   

What do you Tweet about?
What to eat, where to eat and who to eat with of course! And also my blog updates, thoughts, accomplishments, happenings, interesting quotes ...

Do you even bother with ReTweeting?

I usually RT when I'm replying to someone's tweet. I like to RT funny statements, interesting links and new restaurant openings.  

And where do you Tweet from?
At the office, during lunch and coffee breaks.

That's all? How often do you Tweet then?
Every day. I tweet and catch up with friends via their tweets.

You're a popular blogger. How has Twitter affected that?
I use Twitter to inform others about my latest blog entries and current status. Instead of SMS-ing or calling, I now tweet my friends to find out what their plans are for the evening. So economical, no?

You've been entering beauty pageants, how does Twitter help you with
your campaigns?

I used Twitter to garner more votes in the Miss World Malaysia 2009’s subsidiary title – Miss Popular. I believe (coupled with my blog and support from my friends and family) it helped me win that title. 

What kind of role do you see Twitter playing in helping you achieve your goals?
Hopefully, Twitter can further increase my blog readership and popularity. Then maybe some TV director would take notice of my potential and give me a food hosting gig.

And are you busy with any projects at the moment?
My food columns, blog updates, a bit of modelling and my day job. I try to make time to catch up with friends over good shisha at least once a week. Oh, and occasionally turning the kitchen upside down in the pretext of baking a very good cake!

Let's get some Twitter tips. What should you never Tweet about?
Don't tweet about how much you hate your job/boss (your future employer might be your Twitter follower), petty fights with your partner or when you're taking a dump. Seriously, no one gives a shit.

Ooohh funny! Alright then, what is the most controversial Tweet you've seen?
I once read this tweet from a criminal who was running away from the cops, and he was tweeting on the run! LOL

What are your thoughts on Twitter in general?
I used to think it was for those "si fatt hun" (itchy backside) people, until I tried it and got hooked! Now, try taking Twitter away from me, and we'll see who gets hurt ...

How many followers do you have and is it enough?
I have 233 followers, and NO, it's not enough. So people, pretty please, follow meee!!!  

Well, convince us. Why should we follow you?

*puppy eyes* Because I’m adorable? No seriously, I’m quite a personality!

  • Prem
    This is the true malaysians we have..nothing else but to comment negative things rather then supporting good talents in Malaysia.. We will hence be the lower life form in the eyes of the world..We will never grow to unity..Truly we will never grow up!
  • Longkangcat
    Geesh.. What's up your ass! U don't know a person and yet you comment. Just cause she looks like someone you can't even come close to, you say nasty things. She is a sincere, honest, down to earth and a very good person. So for you who makes assumptions- perhaps you are the spoilt
    brat you been mentioning about. grow up!!!
  • Bumblebeeotch
    Langcai so quick to defend her and starts attacking people's mother..what a douche bag.

    Back to the topic, another Paris Hilton wannabe twitterer feature? Make up so thick i guess she's another high maintenance girl with a rich daddy...Blogging on food? What r u? A professional taster? Keep your opinions to yourself please..I bet you only go for Michelin star restaurants for meals..
  • Prem Ature E.
    Grow up n shut up Prem.

    By having a pretty face and a slim body is no talent ok? People like u is the reason why bloggers and twitters are so full of themselves. Go and learn how to play a harmonica ...
  • Prem
    Hi Prem Ature E,

    Sorry that you are ugly and that you have not found your talents and when you have, I am pretty sure no matter how ugly or beautiful you are, you will look life in a positive manner.
  • alvin
    I actually found the comments more interesting than the bangsar babe herself. Not a bad looking gal but thinks a little too highly of herself.

    Must be the paris hilton syndrome. Bumblebeeotch is RIGHT !!!
  • Anonymous
    Gosh, U guys are so nosy. Just stfu and do your own work. The world will be better off without people like you. Oh yes, and I hate bloggers. Its not a talent rather an attention-seeker wannabe.
  • Anonymous
    I am not even sure that the comments are actually by her. Anyway, it's just a casual blogger, someone who has too much time on his/her side. Everyone cool down and just see what she has to say.
  • attackingflair
    While I agree with the notion that twitterers (or is it tweeters?) are complete attention whores who were either love starved as kids or desperately trying to become celebrities, there's no justification for attacking someone on their looks. She never announced that she was pretty anyway, you people just assumed that.
  • Tommy
    She do look pretty and sexy in the photo pose. Suggestives dress and bed too? No comments!!. Leave it to your imaginations.
  • Food Buster
    Hmmm every food blogger has own flavor and discretion. We dont justify the quality by reading their blogs. We just enthrall and perceive. Food goers will heed to her writing if she is attractive.
  • Food Buster
    I meant if her writing is generous and attractive.
  • Annoymouse.
    Bangsat Babe, not just "si fatt hun", she's also "chow sun hun", ie whole body itchy, esp down there.
    .......Dia manyak gatal lah. Kasi dia "Tiger" punya balm oil'ment.
    Joking.
  • zzz
    not attractive, normal looks
  • Prem the 2nd
    Prem =Sue lyn? @_@

    Anyway, nothing special, just some wannabe star :)
  • Anonymous
    Don't trust the words of these food bloggers, just read it & forget. They're not professional food critics. Not sure how many of them are honest in the food review, especially when they're invited for the review i.e. free meal.
  • Prem does Dallas
    Invited? I bet they have to fork out their own money to get a taste of the food!

    These bloggers need to get reality check la..if you think blogging about food and ur little excursions in South East Asia countries can shoot you to internet stardom, then you are so wrong...Get a decent job la and stop being a spoilt daddy's girl...
  • ABC
    Actually they do get invitation to do a food review, coz the restaurants hope to get more customers thru their blogs. Maybe that's why more and more food bloggers pop out, hoping to get free meals.
  • Prem Does Dallas
    Dang..if i want get people to blog about my food, i would have find somone who is more credible, somone who works in the F&B industry or a cook. Not some Hanna Montana college girl FFS..She was right on the money when she said Twitterers are for backside itchy people...

    What led her to the darkside?
  • Tweeter
    Looking at her I can see that she has no interest in Tweeter but rather being published..commonla a post like that for food ah.. some more Mr Prem Do Dallas I think its not the DarkSide its the BackSide
  • No comment
    Food expert eh? waiting to read your views about 'humble pie' bet you never had one Ms Sue Lynn...
  • Just a guy
    a girl who noe hw to tokok
  • goldfries
    You people simple assume that we are invited. We fork out our own hard earned money and give our personal opinion. Backseat drivers like you bunch only know how to be negative, but zero action and initiative from you.

    You're just a bunch of keyboard warriors too afraid to do anything else but cower behind that screen.
  • Gary Neville
    Ooo...look whos here, another fellow food blogger or some overzealous moralista?
  • anon
    i bet the real sassy sue lynn is a fat big black ugly woman behind the monitor and using her keyboard as a weapon in the virtual world.
  • se7en
    lets just say she knocked on your door and say hi dear lets have sex..
    would you guys refuse?? HELL NO..

    bunch of hipokrit faggots..
  • Hippo-creator.
    @ se7en

    I would think long and HARD about it.
    .....Then I would politely decline her generous offer of free and casual sex coz I'm afraid of contracting AIDS, Hepatitis C, herpes, lice, Chlamydia or other STDs from such a slut.
    .......I may be her 10,001-th "victim".

    Sue Lynn may cause 'in-su-lin' addiction, like Tiger's sex-addiction.

    In conclusion, I prefer to have "safe" sex with my wife.
  • Longkangcat
    Or sex with ur computer. Please lah your wife is rusting next to you!
  • vkeong
    goldfries you know you are an idiot right
  • Goldfries is a Virgin
    I like the part where she advise Twitters on what to tweet:

    "Don't tweet about how much you hate your job/boss (your future employer might be your Twitter follower), petty fights with your partner or when you're taking a dump. SERIOUSLY, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT."

    As if i give a shit about ur opinion on that bowl of bangkok noodles...
  • Tommy
    Oh yeah! the only food she can offer is her sexy raw meat. You guys eat raw? RFresh, raw and juicy, yummy yum yum!
  • WaLau
    u all immoral negative-thinking creatures behind da screen r hopeless...
  • Longkangcat
    What she is doing is sharing her experience And opinion. She enjoys eating and she wants you guys to experience the same joy- Malaysian love food. Why do you have to dampen her honest intentions. Instead.. Stop using this as a platform to release your sexual frustrations or lost ambitions, give support to those who tried and dare. Until we know personally the person, only then you may judge. Sue Lynn- don't bother what these geeks are saying, they're just too but ugly to face you.
  • Paul Cheah
    Malaysians love food(come on, dun be an idiot, who doesn't?)and Malaysian also hate poseurs....Or are you another fanboy of hers?
  • anonymous
    ppl write blog, let them be la.

    ppl go on tweeter, let them be also la.

    in the end its the public who reads. its not like she's forcing ppl to read her posts. its her right as a human to express/write on whatever platform she has access to as long as she's doing so without crossing the line. perhaps some of u have lots of opinions and no where better to express them coz no one will be reading anyways if u're posting on ur own site/blog. what a pity
  • lude
    haha. sour grapes. typical malaysians who'll only criticize and comment on others; be it failures or achievements, while sue's out there enjoying her fame and life. u ppl plz go suck on pacifiers. once again. SOUR GRAPES! I LOL at you all.
  • Longkangcat
    LMFAO @ lude...typical fanboyism mentality over a casual blogger..n wonder so malaysians like to blog...kiddie pops like lude will surely go gaga over her like some celebrity...time to go to school!
  • Nutral
    U go Girl!!! :)
  • D original longkangcat
    Whoever u are the last comment "Lmfao" - appreciate if u get ur own identity. Ur use of the language is embarrasing me. I'm sure there are many more names to use than the one Im currently using. It's uncool to comment using other ppls identity cos I'm the real longkangcat! Go along now, find ur own drain to play in.. Shoooo!!!
  • Toyotomi Hidesyoshi

  • Anonymous
    hey guys don you ever kacau my future wife.....
  • Ashamed Malaysian
    And I always wondered why Malaysians are always looked down upon....The posts here is a clear example of how immature some people can be. Those of you who thinks this is funny to insult others, one day others will do the same to you.
  • Longkangcat
    Ashamed Malaysian, you can stop being a pompous ass...
  • youknowwho
    i want to bang her from behind.
  • FreakyWeirdoGal
    Yes, professional food critics actually fork out their own money to review a restaurant secretly. Unliked in Malaysia, where these so-called self proclaimed food critics would call the restaurant owner the previous day before to set up an agreement with him for free food so that he would write good things about that person and so on...etc. And also, food bloggers are not professional food critics in any way at all !!! They have absolute zero credibility. What is written on their blogs cabn only be read for fun only. And, from what I have read and seen fron these food bloggers blogs all of them are proud to reveal and say that restaurant that they review have given them free " makabn " , free dishes, big fat discountsw and son... etc. Some are only, big fat greedy idiots, from what I have seen and read so many times. So, the only thing that they want is the free makan. Give them free food and see what they write about you.
    ReaL food critics are ones that are written in the...
