Sorry to disappoint my voters and supporters.
Fun photos with other Singapore bloggersSingapore's first major Blog Awards ended with strings of surprises and disappointments. As in all competitions, there are winners..... so there will be losers. Don't take it too hard. We had fun.
Congratulations to all the winners!!
Congratulations to all the finalists! *hugs*
Matured bloggers coolinsider, ieat, ECL, Lam Chun See and kiddo JaymesAt the event, meeting the people behind the blogs I read was wonderful. And I was very happy to see my old friends again. I had some touching moments when bloggers who had wronged me, came up to apologise. It takes great courage. I'm impressed. I hope you will support my project and let's work towards a better community of bloggers.
Singapore's National Treasure, Mr Tan Swie Hian Meeting the celebrities and having photos with them was another highlight of the event. My wish to own a special piece of Tan Swie Hian's art was dashed but I get to meet him in person. I hope to see him again at his museum. :)
I was fluttering around the hall, talking to friends and sponsors and taking photos with celebrities. Sorry if I missed anyone. I didn't mean to ignore you.... and it's definitely not a snub.
I won a Sinemaniac membership worth S$80 and 2 T-shirts. haha.... Thanks to Sinema.I went home with trophies of my own. I have wasted too much time these two months and it's time to concentrate on my projects. Bloggers and potential sponsors who have listened to my presentation, I'll get back to you asap. The Singapore Blogosphere is going to get exciting.......
Thanks to Qian Zu Ge for sponsoring my beautiful nail extensions

ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI love that dress too! One look at it and I have to buy it. haha....
hmmmm.... it makes me look older though. But I'm sure the true blue Nonyas would approve of my dressing. :)
Doors are opening up and not just for me, for many bloggers too, if they trust me.
YTSL,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you write 'organized' blog awards. :)
The first major blog award organized by the local media giant. Lots of improvements needed. Disappointing for such a big company to organize such a mediocre event.
napaboaniya,
ReplyDeleteI'm working harder than ever on a project for Singapore bloggers. This contest is another way I get my contacts and build my project on.
I always believe that if a person conducts herself in a fair and honest manner, people will get to realise her true worth one day.
I have my fair share of allegations and slander and I'll find time to deal with them, one shot.
有仇必报，不是不报， 是时间未到！
For those who have the courage to apologise, I will accept.
genny,
ReplyDeleteThanks. Have a nice weekend!
ei, it doesn't matter if you win or lose as much as you had much fun. :)
ReplyDeleteanyway, I still have to look for a PH photo theme.
take care.
PS. Dropped you an EC and would you mind if I add you in my blogroll? ;)
Your a winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you had fun. By the way you look lovely.
Sad you didn't win but there will be other times ! When I read this and look at the pictures I am so surprised how important blogging is in your country ! Most of the people here in Belgium and the once I know in Germany and Italy don't even know what a blog is ! Some students have a blog, but that's it. All in all it's not yet well known at all !
ReplyDeleteToday the Formula 1 starts in Francorchamps, I put some links !
ECL! Congrats on being a finalist and though u didn't win this time around, you look splendid in that pink baju kebaya, I love! Hope u still had fun, cause we certainly did, voting and cheering u on! Happy weekend dear! :):):)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your great accomplishment ECL! I can't even get most entertaining blogger on the block. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Ivan Girl,
