IF YOU have a blog, use it as an opportunity to improve your English and knowledge of the language. That was Stomp Star Blogger Jamie Yeo's advice for 110 secondary school students and teachers who turned up for a Straits Times Media Club workshop at the Singapore Press Holdings auditorium in Toa Payoh on Friday.
The 29-year-old, who is also a presenter with ESPN Star Sports, was a guest celebrity at the monthly event, and made her appearance after Stomp editor Jennifer Lewis gave a lively presentation on the website.
'I like reading blogs but I am also very particular about how they are written,' said Yeo who has been blogging on Stomp for almost a year and spends entire weekends crafting her online entries.
'A blog is a great way to work on your writing skills and expand your vocabulary.'
The one-time radio DJ and TV actress also fielded personal questions during the 45-minute session. Asked about the best thing that has happened to her so far, Yeo, who is married to radio DJ Glenn Ong, said: 'I think it's falling in love.'
The media club workshop is a monthly event organised by The Straits Times for students from secondary schools which subscribe to IN, the weekly magazine distributed to these secondary schools every Monday.
