Kicking back with KY
If you're familiar with the Malaysian blogosphere, you've probably heard of Project Alpha, a reality show which aims to uncover the lives of our country's top bloggers.
Over the next few weeks, Just 140 will feature the seven bloggers featured in the second season of the show, which premieres on April 19. This week is KYspeaks' turn.

9. You've been entering beauty pageants, how does Twitter help you with
your campaigns?
I used Twitter to garner more votes in the Miss World Malaysia 2009’s subsidiary title – Miss Popular. I believe (coupled with my blog and support from my friends and family) it helped me win that title.
