The NUFFNANG APAC Blog Awards 2009
Note: This is a very overdue post
I was invited by Nuffnang as a guest blogger to the first inaugural Asian-Pacific Blog Awards in Singapore on the 23rd – 25th of October. It was a real awesome experience, meeting all the many bloggers from 4 different countries who blog about everything and anything! All the creativity and uniqueness in content and design, all packed into ballroom of Pan Pacific Hotel for the event
Check out the stars on the red carpet and all that jazz babes. They really did the event fantabulously:

Don’t forget our very own Malaysian bloggers as well:

And since I’ve never done an outfit post, here’s one to start with:-
Dress: Paperdoll | Clutch: The Attires’ Attic | Shoes: Sherberry, 1Utama | Earrings: The Aura
And even some more familiar faces from the online shopping sphere:
Left: That Girl Cynthia from An Old Flame | Middle: Vvens from The Envelopes | Right: Jolene from the Sticker Monster. I also met Haze from Blushberry but somehow lost the photo with her.
And these are just some of the 400+ guests that were present during the event. You can imagine how massive it was. Who would have thought blogging could win you an award at such a gala event? *winks* Now you know!
We were first greeted with some yummy Pringles from the lovely sponsors and all their new flavours:
We also had a lovely meal prepared, a 4-course in fine dining, with very, very long names for each course:
We also had some yummy rock candy by Nuffnang. Check out the details on the candy:
Awesome, no? That’s just the first part of the event. The awards given out were even better! The nominees from all over the region anticipated who would be the winner for each category and it was really hard to decide, even during the voting process!
And the winners are *drum rolls* if you didn’t already hear/read from all the other blogs about the event….
