Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards '11
While some of us are busy updating and resizing photos from NAPBAS (the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards), here I am blogging about my first experience as a nuffie being part of the region's biggest, most anticipated event.
It is not about being the best or the worst bloggers, but rather the blog awards is about acknowledging bloggers from all across Asia Pacific, bringing together everyone from various backgrounds and recognizing the hard work of each individual. The NAPBAS is all about appreciating and celebrating the goodness of blogging as a whole.
Nothing beats having a ballroom filled with people of dissimilar lifestyles that have one thing in common -the passion for blogging.
NAPBAS from my perspective not as a spectator but behind the scenes.
Some of the NAPBAS team members burnt midnight oil countless nights putting this event together.
A big big shoutout to Michelle, Nic Chay, Min, Fresh and Firdy. I couldn't understand it fully whenever Tim used to tell us, "you will feel the proudest that you are a nuffie on the awards night",
and it's true.
We are the luckiest bunch to be able to see this through, to help in any way we could be it in stage, logistics, ushering, registration, as bouncers, lighting and sounds, et cetera.
Oh and most of the nuffies got our hair styled by
Number76 hair salon that afternoon.
I was in charged of performance and the welcoming committee that day.
Also found time to make up 5 girls - Cassie, Sue, Rina, Thara, and Wenny. Sad because I forgot to snap photos of each of them to show you my artwork -__-" but they all looked...beautiful that night.
On a side note, the best hair makeover however went to:
our colleague, Shun Yau!!!!!
SPOT THE DIFFERENT :D
Some photos from the event night in no particular order.
