Today I got an email from Candice DeVille, Nuffnang Australia Community Manager with a news that my blog was chosen as one of the 5 finalists for the Best Geek Blog (Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards)! The exciting part is, whether I win or not, I’m already invited to Singapore for the Blog Awards Ceremony on 23rd October 2009! The travel (plane) and accommodation will all be sponsored!
Looks like I’ll be staying in Pan Pacific, a 5-star hotel in Singapore, Link Hotel, a 4-star hotel in Singapore, being pampered for 4 days and 3 nights, woot woot.
Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards Ceremony
According to Nuffnang:
The Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards is the FIRST REGIONAL BLOG AWARDS. It’ll be a red-carpet event, packed with glitz and glamour, just like a big time Hollywood awards ceremony.
The ceremony will be held in Pan Pacific Ballroom.
Pan Pacific BallRoom
Pan Pacific Hotel
There will be at least 400 prominent bloggers from around the Asia Pacific region so it’ll be exciting to be there! One of my friend, Arnold from MrGadget.com.au is one of the Best Geek blog finalist too 
Now, if you like my blog, help me to win by voting this blog over at Nuffnang Regional Blog Award Not sure what will I get if I win, but anyway I’ll still be flying to Singapore as a finalist. For your vote to be counted, you need to vote for the other categories too, though. But whether you are voting or not, I’m still gonna be thanking you for all of your support so far to myself and to this blog.
This is probably the first time for me to be invited to such a big event and to have such privilege! I guess you can never know what you can become one day..

Thanks Marlene! Unfortunately you have to vote for all of the other categories before you can see the big “Submit Vote” button
I found it weird they are doing it this way (+ you can vote every 2 hours) unless if they just want to boost their Alexa Rank by asking people to come back over and over lol
Woot woot indeed. Congratulations, and may the best geek wins.
Congratulations! Well deserved win, You have a lot of good stuff here, I’m sure you can make it. The hotel is amazing, You will surely can have a lot of fun there.
