Ok guys, as I mentioned before, I wanted to launch a monthly project, which is the blogger interview project. And I've finally found the first subject for the project. Below is the transcript of the interview. This interview was between the owner of Pinkizluv.com (Safiena) and myself. Safiena has been blogging for a few years but she's withdrawn herself from the blogging scene for a while. On her comeback, she's immersed herself with doodling. You can see for yourself her beautiful artworks on her website, Pinkizluv.

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
- simple dan sukakan kekemasan. favorite color PINK. A cat lover and love cute stuffs utk dijadikan collection untuk decorate bilik tidur :D
[Translation: Simple and favours neatness. PINK is my favourite colour. A cat lover and love cute stuff that can be used to decorate the bedroom :D]

2. How you first got involved in with blogging?
- since abis sekolah memang minat habis dlm blogosphere tapi kurang arif tentang blogging sebab tak tahu macam mana nak mula. Perasaan jeles dan nak sangat bila tengok orang ada blog. My very first blog gunakan platform Multiply(http://multiply.com)
[Translation: Ever since I finished high school I was very much into blogosphere but I lacked the skills in blogging as I didn't know where to begin. I was envious when I see people own blogs. My very first blog was on the Multiply platform (http://multiply.com)]

3. What do you do when you aren’t working on your blog?
- Normally, lepas habis doing my houseworks, my tablet memang setia on my lappy. Sudah semestinya melukis doodle! I love doodles!!
[Translation: Normally, after doing my houseworks, my tablet would be on my lappy. Of course I would be doodling! I love doodles!!]

4. A lot of people are interested in doodling. What are some tips for people who want to start doodling?
- Kena ada identiti sendiri dalam doodling. Elakkan dari trace doodle orang lain. Mesti ada trademark dan cara sendiri. Kalau lack of idea memang susah nak lukis doodle. Mesti kuat imagination :)
[Translation: You need to have your own identity in doodling. Avoid tracing other people's doodles. Must have your own trademark and style. It will be difficult when you're out of imagination. You have to have vivid imagination :)]

5. Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?
- Hurm, so far belum ada lagi fav post sebab belum mendapat komen yang lebih dari target. For sure post yang saya suka tentang doodle category.
[Translation: Hurm, so far I don't have any fav post yet since I've not yet received the number of comments in my target. But for sure I like posts in the doodle category.]

6. What’s the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?
- Entry yang berjaya menarik minat readers contohnya : membuatkan readers berfikir secara logik, informative, ketawa dan sedih. Kalau readers tak ada rasa apa2 meaning that entri tu kategori yang membosankan. Please bare in mind, visitors sangat suka kalau blog yang ada tutorial dan freebies.
[Translation: Entries that catch the attention of the readers for example: entries that make the readers think logically, informative, laugh and sad. If the readers don't feel anything it means the entry is boring. Please bear in mind, visitors like blogs that offer tutorials and freebies.]

7. If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
- Mesti serius! Kalau nak jadi seorang blogger mesti yakin dalam setiap penulisan. Mesti ada identiti sendiri dan elakkan meniru gaya penulisan orang lain.
[Translation: You need to be serious! If you want to be a blogger, you need to be confident in writing. Have to have your own identity and avoid copying others' writing style.]


Thank you to Safiena for her time and her willingness to be interviewed. If you would like to see your favourite blogger here, do suggest me who you would like to be interviewed next.

*speechless* Thank you for the interview session my dear. It took me for half an hour to answer those questions which I answered spontaneously :) Thank you for being my friend (on this blogosphere), since our first 'met'.. Honestly, I really adore you skills on blogging. I salute you sis! Keep up your good work on writing skills and coding (perhaps I will learn something from you).

I will suggest you someone (my fav blogger) someday. Thanks once again and ALL THE BEST TO BOTH OF US and to ALL BLOGGERS OUT THERE! *hugs*

Aww thank you for your kind words dear. Honestly I get all flattered by your comments. :) And yes, all the best to us and to every other bloggers out there. :)

Aaaah, too cute - I love her little doodles! I agree completely that one needs to have their own identity, be serious and have confidence in their writing - in no matter what language it is they write in.

Great feature - cannot wait for the next one :)
