Happy Deepavali to my Indian readers and happy holiday to the rest. Thanks to our multi-racial society that we get to enjoy public holidays like Deepavali, Hari Raya, etc. It's a public holiday and it's awesome! A great day to stay home, have a cup of hot chocolate and reminisce.

Let me share with you my journey with Nuffnang so far. Nuffnang itself has its own history on how and who founded it and I have mine too (I started blogging since 2003 at another blog address, stopped for a few years before started this blog). Launched in Singapore on 30 April 2007, though I'm not the pioneer batch who joined (I joined around end Dec 2008!) I still shared many many wonderful memories with Nuffnang.

Being a Nuffnanger, I joined not only for the blog advertising (my blog current earnings only S$ 10.80, so really nothing to brag about) but the fact that I can get invites to exclusive bloggers events like movie screenings, workshops, parties and more.

| First movie date from Nuffnang |
This was the first movie invite that I gotten from Nuffnang - Star Trek at GV Grand. Subsequently, I also won free movie tickets for Charlie St. Cloud, Tron - Legacy, Pirates of Caribbean and many more. The latest won was Fright Night.
My first large scale event with Nuffnang was the Flash Mob event held outside Heeren way back in June 2009. It was like one of the most memorable events and also the first time I met other famous bloggers like Xia Xue and Sherala in real life.
I got to know a little bit more blogger friends at the Nokia Ovi Workshop. I remember vividly how we exchange blog address instead of handphone numbers by using the paper given to us for other purposes. Amusing.
Subsequently, I received the official invitation for Glitterati Plus bloggers meet-up. It was fun and I also joined the Glitterati Plus (G+) club at the event itself. With the expanding of blog-sphere and Nuffnang community, being in the G+ club makes me feels even more exclusive. It's like being the cream of the corp!
Now, come 16 December 2011 is another exciting event to look forward to. While Mediacorp has Star Awards annually to recognize outstanding artistes so does Nuffnang. They will be holding the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific blog award 2011 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! It's a by invitation only event and only 500 bloggers from the Asia-Pacific region will get the chance to attend this prestigious celebration in Putrajaya Marriott. The many awards includes Blogger of the Year (Not open for nominations), Hidden Gem, Best Original Blog Design, Best Entertainment Blog, Best Food Blog, Best Travel Blog, Best Fashion Blog, Best Photography Blog, Best Geek Blog and Best Parenting Blog. Nominate Best Blog here. Giving out awards like these aims not only to honour the region's best bloggers but also to bring together blogger communities from Asia-Pacific. While I do not harbour any thoughts of winning any prizes, I still wish that I can be part of the 500 bloggers to be there, to cheer on with the rest of the bloggers and to create more happy memories with Nuffnang. The Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards is brought to you by Volkswagen Malaysia and Putrajaya Marriott. Good luck bloggers! :)
