Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards
The company didn't send me down to Singapore for 2 weeks for nothing. It was for the biggest and the grandest event Nuffnang has ever hold in the Asia Pacific region, The Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards!
If you're one who reads blogs, you'd probably have already read and seen what I'm gonna share in general, but I'm gonna share more information on how the Nuffies in SG and I worked together to put up the event.
We brought in over 400 bloggers from Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Australia to Pan Pacific, Singapore for the Awards and people start pouring in as early as 6.30pm where the Nuffies crew were all prepared and brief on their roles. The SG Nuffies in particular have been so briefed, if anyone brief them again, they'll probably vomit briefs for the guys to wear (lame joke).
The entire week before the Blog Awards, Nuffies were busy preparing the logistics, protocol and script for the event. We were made to understand our roles inside out clearly to prevent and screw ups. I was made Programme IC along with Elayne to ensure all the protocol and agenda proceeds smoothly. I have to say, Elayne is quite good match to me as we were both very calm and able to respond to scenario changes swiftly during execution.
Bloggers were served soft drinks and juice at the cocktail lounge along with plenty of Pringles who are the title sponsor for the Blog Awards. Thank you Pringles!
Of course, the event was attended by prominent bloggers from all over the 4 main countries of Nuffnang such as Kennysia, Xiaxue, Jehzlau and more. Among the one you should bring your attention to is no other than Xiaxue who won 3 Awards that night - Most Influential, Best Original Blog Design and Region's Best Blog.
Jayden who won SGD5000 from Pringles for his creative video entry was no doubt a very talented person (who also happens to have something in common with me, if you know what I mean). He came dressed up ala Willy Wonka (Charlie & Choc Factory).
I was also fortunate to have my very own boyfriend coming down to Singapore to attend the very grand event I was organizing. He finally got to see me after 2 weeks of separation and imagine how fuzzy our feelings were when we saw each other. ^_^
The event was no doubt very grand compared to all previous events I've undertook. It's very formal with proper protocol proceedings. Each act has its own rules and executors to ensure everything is taken care of. Call me anal, but if anything screwed up that night, I'll most likely regret it for the rest of my life.
Among the highlights of the night was performances by JC Sum and Magic Babe Ning from Singapore who were quite impressive with their acts.
We also had Electrico, a popular Singaporean Indie band that rocked the Awards with their songs on stage who played 5 songs for the audience.
Having them perform in the event itself was no doubt an honor for us but trust in me that it was not easy arranging the protocol and reacting to certain circumstances that arose on the day itself. But phew, luckily everything went smoothly despite some challenge in the evening.
Of course, the awards presenting were very well done and in style where we arranged ushers for all the presenters and winners and navigate them to walk the right paths on stage but I think a repetitive protocol for 12 categories made it less impressive. But nevertheless, during the winner's speech for Best Original Blog Design, something funny happened.
Kennysia went on stage before Xiaxue could speak and said exactly what I captioned in the photo above. Lol!! In case you don't know, Steven Lim was one of the bloggers Xiaxue really hate and no doubt perceived as annoying in Singapore. Hahaha.
Well, me being gay, I was on the lookout for queer guys in the hall and see if I can find any cuties as eye candies. I think I found one, but I think he's straight (as claimed by my SG colleagues). He's in the photo below.
Don't you agree that he's cute and fall under my preference? Hahahaha.
All in all, judging from all the blog entries that came in after the Blog Awards, I think it's safe to say that the event was a big success! This is definitely due to all the hard work of all the Nuffies from all 4 countries. Big thank you to you all!
I would also like to thank my 'other half' of the night, Elayne for doing a great job along with me as Programme IC. I think if I'm straight, we'd have been a perfect match. Lol.
The only regret I have during the Blog Awards is... I cannot live update the results using my Blackberry Curve!! There isn't any Prepaid BB plan in Singapore unlike Xpax Blackberry in Malaysia!! Once I came back, I quickly activated my BB services by sending BB ON to 28882 and voila!! I'm back connected using my BB!!!
Ever since then, till today, I cannot live without tweeting!! If you don't believe, just follow me on my Twitter and you'll see me tweet about everything, from shitting in the toilet to warming my cold palms with my balls and etc. Lol.
Well, that's all I'm sharing for tonight. I'll share more on the tour in Singapore the next day! See ya, peeps.
Cheers
