I thought I should perhaps give a little history into the choice of domain name. I got the name DimSumDolly after watching a play called “Steaming!”. The three protagonists played by Selena Tan, Pamela Oei and Emma Yong call themselves the “Dim Sum Dollies”. In “Steaming!”, they sashay in and out of different costumes, celebrating and poking fun at all things women. Though some of the humour was a little slapstick, it was nonetheless a night of laughs. Definitely a chick-flick.
\nIn the programme, the reasons stated for calling themselves the Dim Sum Dollies were:
\n1) Being the typical Singaporean, they love to eat.
\n2) Dim Sum almost always comes in threes.
\n3) Dim Sum comes in a wide variety – just like the fact that they are playing a wide variety of characters.
\nYes yes, I know I wasn’t very original in thinking of a domain name, but I really liked dimsumdolly ‘cos the name had this element of fun. It also suited me ‘cos I love eating dimsum. It’s probably my favourite Chinese food. (Incidentally, the Chinese restaurants in Sydney serve fantastic dimsum. It’s a dimsum-lover haven!) Yep, I’m sssooooo typically Singaporean in my love of food. :p
\nThe wide variety of dimsum also alludes to the wide variety of things I will be writing about in my blog. The contents of the blog will be a bit about everything that goes on around me and in my life.
\nSo there, I hope all of you who surf by will enjoy your “visit”, and please feel free to leave a comment or two!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
