GudeBlogs

We’ve just launched a gudeblog for a dear friend – Constance Singam . Constance, or Connie, is currently the president of AWARE (Association of Women for Action and Research). She is a writer, social activist and now a blogger!

We met Constance more than 4 years ago when we revamped AWARE’s website and helped them to install a content management system so they could easily use the web to reach out to members.

But it was really her restaurant – Spice and Wine at 16 Jalan Kelulut, off Yio Chu Kang Road – that brought us together. We shared many wonderful meals and memories together at the restaurant, including polling nite of the last general elections.

On her 70th birthday, Connie announced that she was going to work with us for an “internet project”. Back then we had conceived something called “3 words” which was meant to be a communal blogging platform for anything that can be summarised in 3 words – “Food is Good”, “I love you”, “I hate you”, “Power of One”, etc.

As with all things, we procrastinated for quite a bit then Connie took up the reins to lead AWARE again. Almost 2 years has passed, and we thought we’d better get “some internet project” started together. So “3 words” has been reborn as “GudeBlogs”.

For those of you who don’t know Connie, she is remarkable in many ways. She obtained her first degree at age 46 (BA hons in Lit) and her masters at age 60. She is living proof that we can do anything we set our minds to. At 68, she took up the challenge of running a restaurant that serves marvelous Indian food. And now at 70+, she is starting to blog.
