It was a relaxing night spent at the Shanghai Dolly, and it was memorable because the people usually seen busying themselves around their little kids all showed up without the little people! Granted, Shanghai Dolly was not a place for those under 18 years of age, so we all had a most valid reason to leave the kids at home and go gallivanting attend the Event of the Year without the children – Singapore Blog Awards 2011. Thanks OMY for a great event organised! =D
Honoured to be able to attend the event as a Finalist for the ‘Best Family Blog’ category. =)
The theme for this year’s event is ‘History Gets Social’ and everyone’s encouraged to dress up as some historical figures. I couldn’t think of a suitable character to dress up as, so I concurred with fellow mummy blogger, Sandra’s idea, to turn up as a TIRED MAMA. Historically, there’s always been a tired mama. Haha! How apt!
We spent a good hour having drinks and chit-chatting over snacks at Shanghai Dolly, with a lovely singer who charmed us on stage with her soothing vocals. She sounded like Olivia! So comfortable listening to her. =)
It was fun to catch up with many of the bloggers whom I don’t get to meet often, but know so much about through their blogs. =) Social media has, to a certain extent, pulled people closer together. =) Some of these bloggers, I’ve never met, but the moment we met, we felt like old friends. Interesting.
With Mint! So happy for her because she clinched the ‘Best Dressed Female Historical Character’ prize for the event! What a pretty Liang Po Po she was!!! =P
Kudos to the many bloggers who put in much effort to dress up as interesting characters! (Try spotting the legendary Steven Lim, who supposedly dressed up as Michael Jackson. =P Cue: Everybody look to the right…)
And the best family blogger won indeed! Congratulations Daphne! =D
Hubby met other Daddy bloggers that he’s been interacting with online as well!
Great meeting everyone that night! Thanks for being my friend in cyberspace! =D
Looking forward to Singapore Blog Awards 2012!
