This event happened way back on 06 July 2013 but I didn't have time to blog about it until now.
The Singapore Blog Awards has always been an event I look forward to participate each year. Meeting friends (both old and new), to be in a place where like-minded people gathered together, to be chatting and laughing with friends you know are passionate and fun-loving.
1PM: Off to Shanghai Dolly, here we go!
Caught the early birds - caught me in the glass reflection yet?
I'm one of them. :p
The theme is 60s and here are my shoes of the day.
$9.90 from the neighbourhood market.
The organisers planned a game of hopscotch for us before we head into the main area.
There were plenty of cheering, eating, chatting, greetings going on throughout the 3 hours of event.
Most of the segment was to announce and give out the prizes to each of the blog categories.
A lot of friends who are not in the blogging scene asked, "Don't all bloggers blog the same thing?"
Of course not, our blogs can be divided into many different categories!
Most of us focus on ONE core category and we take up a few others for a good mix.
The titles of the categories change slightly every year - the organisers added Music, Cooking and eco-challenge blog categories this year; a total of 10 main + 7 sub blog categories.
Read about them under 'Categories' HERE.
I'll do a quick jump into the best dressed segment.
To me, this has always been the highlight of the event!
Oh by the way, Singapore Blog Awards 2011 was held at Shanghai Dolly too.
I won the best dressed segment then.
And Steven Lim was EPIC, kicking the beer bottle out of Yongwei's hands on stage.
Catch out my Liang PoPo outfit HERE.
Muahahaha~
This is MyDreamGuy's FIRST ever blog awards~
To fit the 60s theme, minutemanSG has decided to dress up as a 60s Street Hawker selling Char Kway Teow!
This time, it was his turn to be nominated for the Best Dress!
The sunshine towel.
#LastWarning
He made it to Top 2 by bribing the judges with packets of his Char Kway Teow (They are actually sunshine towels wrapped in brown Dabao wrappers).
In the end, the blogger in the 60s Mata Uniform won the best dress, Congratulations!
06 July 2013 happened to be his birthday so we decided to give him a Surprise Birthday Party.
Happy Burstday, Colin Chang!
That's the first surprise - his birthday surprise.
The next surprise is for me - The JBL Best Pop/Music Blog Award!
This award means the world to me.
THE WORLD.
I really wasn't expecting it because everyone was spreading around that the winners had already been notified the day before. Apparently I wasn't called up.
Here's something to William Tan from http://onlywilliam.blogspot.sg:
Hey William Bro, thank you for bringing and showing me around when I first joined Singapore Blog Awards 3 years ago. Without you, I'd never have known so many more like-minded friends as well as the happenings in the blogosphere. I would like to share this award with YOU. Can't believe we've known each other for more than 3 years now. Here's to our ever-lasting friendship, Cheers!

Oh yah, I really wondered how the 60s people survived blisters and cuts from their footwear.
I had to wear Minuteman's hawker slippers and walk down Orchard Road after that.
Morale of the story: Don't get plastic pumps.
Happy Monday!!!
