Nuffnang Awards at Singapore Day 1

Sorry as i wasn't able to update this post earlier

as i was rather busy having exams

and yeah...you understand la =)

I was invited to

Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards at Singapore

with a whole bunch of other nuffnangers

This is the most prestigious event in Nuffnang History

as it is the 1st Awards that is held!

The day started off with a few of us heading to the LRT stations

to reach the Nuffnang office

as we're supposed to gather there at 7.30am

*man it was so hard for me to wake up*

Zach, Xiang, Jacquelyn & Me

as usual..

Jackie was late to reach the lrt station

but we still made it to Nuffnang's Office at about 7am

Plenty of Bloggers

Bryan, Me, Ken, Chris, Jacquelyn, Xiang,

Jeremy, Samantha, Kristine & Jackie

there were 3 busses

heading down to Singapore

but sadly

Me, Jeremy & Xiang were separated from our usual group of friends

and we ended up in Bus 2

but no big deal..

we managed to make new friends in that bus =D

we left the nuffnang office at about 8.40am

as some bloggers came late

*pfft*

Me, Xiang & Jeremy

It was a very long ride down to Singapore

as there were too many toilet breaks

and also there were some problems at the immigration office

as a blogger brought in cigarettes without declaring the cigarettes

we managed to reach Link Hotel

(which is the Official Hotel for this awards)

at about 3.30pm

somehow the rooms allocation was really messy as we're a big group

and we got our rooms rather late

and it was bad as the girls needed more time =S

but overall its a great hotel =)

so we just had enough time to freshen up

and get into our suits for the night

as time was running fast that day

The bus left Link Hotel approximately 6.45pm

and we reached Pan Pacific Hotel

where the Awards was held

the photo session started among all of us
