for everyone who got involved in the spirit of voting for Glocals as a great social website, for nominating and then voting for the Glocal members who brings your local community members closer together.

It was great seeing so many friends and new folks coming up to me and asking for photos of me and Oscar, or just with the Oscar in some cases :)

The welcomers did a fantastic job tagging people and serving the finger foods. Great jobs guys & gals!

As for Jasper, Busstop, Sherri, Ehsaan who couldn't be there, we missed ya! but Ehsaan, it was soo great of you to call me this morning from the busy streets of Mumbai!!! See you all at your respective events :)

Hola!Hello!Salut!

As a newbie to GOL, I'd like to show my appreciation for the gr8 party!
The event was really awsome & I was enchanted to meet interesting people:-)
The grand success is indeed the fruits of the unconditional efforts put in by
the Organisers & the volonteers!!

I wish to say a big THANK YOU since it was a memorable experience & if it wasn't
for GOL, then, I'd miss out on gr8 people, fun & leisure which is a part & parcel
of life!!!

** BRAVO **

Cheers;-)

It's been called "GLOCALS" for quite some time now ^_^
We no longer refer to it with the 3 letter word.
I figured I warn you first before NIR does.
see ya!

Seeing that this could be a possible recurring event (like the Valentines' Poems feature); how about next year not having last year's winners being elected again?...



This would give those who missed out a go - as there are quite a few others who do some really good work too!...

Give well deserved recognition to people's efforts...

One could have the winners handing out the trophies to those winners who they feel most affiliated to - just a thought! :-) J.

+ Yumi wouldn't have to muck around with the gallery photos to ensure she's up front! ;-D
