Video & Photo coverage | Nuffnang Asia Pacific Regional Blog Awards 23rd Oct 2009
Let’s HOLLAA THE NIGHT AWAY – NUFFNANG STYLE!
Kenny & I
with his ‘Best Entertainment Blog’ trophy!
Congrats mannn
The event was a very grand one with at the Grand Ballroom of Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore. Before it began, all the bloggers were mingling around at the red carpet and the photo wall. As we were sponsored by Pringles, there were Pringles crisps available in all 3 flavours for us to munch on!
I personally liked the original one & the green one
The spooky orange Pringles one tasted strange
with the fellow Malaysian Bloggers! \m/
So these were the only 2 which were most appropriate
I wore the latter during Valentines already. And much thanks to Diese for doing my hair, there’s tiny plaits at the back you wont be able to see
Before I begin with what happened during the event, allow me to spam more piccies (hey it’s not everyday we doll up like this right) from the red carpet, and also including the ones taken at Link Hotel where we accommodated and the bus journey towards the event!
Gareth, Jo, KY and myself at the lobby
Redmummy, Adele, Myself & Tzia
at the doorway
Haze, KY, Kim & myself just before we departed
When Yee Hou yelled to signal that our ride had arrived, it was time for everyone to leave Link Hotel to board the bus. Bon voyage!
Busy Yee Hou in the midst of yellin
(okai don’t kill me jizzhou)
Very surprised to bump into Jade,
my former highschool classmate
The bus ride, consisting of 3 buses altogether, managed to ferry us right up to the doorstep of Pan Pacific Hotel in less than 30 minutes. All of us then arrived at the red carpet in style!
Adele, Kenny, Myself + pringles
Dusty & I
Hannah my Pinoy buddy & I
Shouters unite!
Violet from Oz & I
Penton, Zac, Nic & I
Ying Zi & I + stim Joyce in the background!
Rin, Audrey & Myself + funnyface Kenny in the background!

Our dresses for the evening are bought from there

Chris, Bryan & Myself
Mikey, Myself & Ducclebears
check out his expression wtf
Jacque, Huai Bin & I
Alton & Myself
He’s sooooooooooo adorable wtf!
And 2+ years down the road,
Nuffnang puts together this huge event!
With Allan Wu, the host of Amazing Race as our emcee
Nuffnang takes center stage in 2009!
The video was superbly done, with co-founders Ming & Tim speaking in unison at certain jump cuts and transitions. All the Nuffies from Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Phillipines had their chances on camera too, to make this video a complete and wholesome one.
The Asia-Pac Nuffie Family!
Hence the thunderous applause and approving, proud smiles of everyone present.
Ming & Tim then began with a simple yet meaningful speech to officiate the event. I’ve shot a video of each of their speeches for you guys to relish. Do take a listen, it’s worth it
omg dunno where did Ming’s speech go. Don’t worry. Will figure that out soon.
The food then arrived to satiate our rumbling tummies. We had a simple appetizer of sour dough bread and salted butter for our tastebuds to make way for a splendid 4-course fine dining menu ahead.
And this was what we had :
The 1st course was Marinated Smoked Tuna with Feta, Herb Salad and Balsamic Olive Oil.
It was so tender, such love!
And the chunks of cheese had this salty zing to it
Next up on the list was this Light Cream of Asparagus and Green Peas topped with a Chive Mousseline. Gone are the days where bland, clear soup ruled the tables!
Loved every drop of it.
Smooth creamy soup has always tickled my fancies
Most of us at the table loved the cheesy mash!
And the chicken was really tender to the bones.
JENGJENGJENG.
THE AMAZING QUADRUPLE LAYERED DESSERT
THAT MADE MY EYES GO WHEEE WANG WANG~
See those four sinful layers?
It will go right to your love handles HAAHAHA
(oyeah and mine too T_T)
It was really a pain in the you-know-where as the boyfie and I faced lotsa complications in uploading of the videos due to incompatible video formats. But apart from that, we’re more than glad to share with you these videos I shot during the event.
Jengjengjeng, so as promised, here are the videos of all the winners of each category going up on stage accepting their trophy and giving their acceptance speech. For those of you who didn’t make for the award night, see it with your very own eyes to feel it! But for those of you who made it, relive the moment!
Best Celebrity Blog
Best Parenting Blog
Best Fashion Blog
Best Travel Blog
Best Entertainment Blog
Best Blogshop
Best Hidden Gem
I’m so very sorry I didn’t get Xia Xue’s acceptance speech during the receipt of her Most Influential Blog Award & Best Original Blog Design Award. This is because the boyfie went to the Gents and brought the videocam along wtf. I hope he video-ed interesting moments in the Gents to make up for my rage of not getting to video BOTH XiaXue’s acceptance speeches! (okay love, I’m obviously kidding about your video-ing other men in the restroom wtf)
So I shot these 3 piccies instead, just before the announcement of the finale of Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2009! Check out Kenny giving the smirk when I took his picture. Nervous anot wei?
And the winner was XiaXue for yet another Award! She let out a loud squeal when her named was announced.
Run! Run like the wind, child!
I’m actually quite happy she won. She’s sucha diva and a real b!tch at times but that’s what makes me love her. Oh well, you do need a lil drama in your lives dontcha?
Congrats, babe! I’m sure Mike is very proud of you
(and I know you’re proud of yourself haha!)
I enjoyed myself hell alot and am glad to have this getaway with all my fellow blogger pals too. Thanks to Nuffnang, Pringles, Canon, Link Hotel, Pan Pacific Hotel, Exabytes and Uniquely Singapore!
much love

Serge
but but.. u are
(Random thoughts whilst reading)
Ahhh so it was the Oscars of blogs. I expected a big limo to pick you up instead of a bus!
Maybe in another 10 years – from 2 years to this – so it might in Chinatown, LA in a decade!
I remember the first Nufflang meeting in Gurney Plaza too (but was sadly working that weekend). Canon instantly developing photos on the spot = cool!
I have to say that I did expect Pringles to be mingled somewhere in the main course / dessert too! Maybe it was secretly crushed – did anything feel a bit crunchy during chewing?
Finally great write up of the blog awards. I bet KennySia didn't mind all these girls coming up to him to ask for photos!
I can't believe Xia Xua won best of the lot – I used to follow her blog at the beginning of her career and lost touch and now she's a big shot! Amazing!! The Paris Hilton of the blogging community?
dezy
ok i try follow u 2b so free oso.
wuaha u so free huh comment so long
u can so predict the future, ok so mebbe 20 years down the road we'll be chauffeured in a concord into a distant island in timbuktu.
haha yeah so i gather that ur frm penang? lol and yeahhh they had this instant photo developin machine for us!
lol nope, no crunchy feeling in the main courses but there were heaps of pringles at the foyer where we were all mingling about before the event!
thanks fo d compliment n yeah of cos he doesnt mind, in fact, he could be very well enjoying it wtf. lol i guess she's just rlly influential with a diva attitude n dun care wot ppl think of her. that spurs her to be more daring thats why. anyway good la right
not everyone can be that bold n not affected by bad things goin around.
hoho. i think i succeeded in replying longlong as well. good mood thats why wtf
Nice of you sharing such a great event with nice photos.
Wasn't a wonderful evening! It was great hanging out with so many super bloggers.
