Ping.sg Blog Awards 2008 – HP Blog of The Year!
After months of preparation and anticipation, Ping.sg finally had their 2nd Anniversary and Awards at Fig & Olive on Saturday!
Fig & Olive
18 Table Tennis Bats!!!
The committee were at the venue early but we were running around like headless chickens sometimes. Everyone helped one another and we managed to complete our tasks in time. My slaves, Hendri and Miccheng, helped me finish up on the table tennis bats which were given out as award trophies.
Happy 2nd Birthday Ping.sg!
Sylvia hooked the committee up with a lady named Caressa who made us such great looking and tasting cupcakes! If I wasn’t battling the fact that my love handles are starting to look like the edges of the cupcakes, I would have had seconds.

Molemole & Daughter
Hendri, Me, Kahwee, Darren and Lance
People started trickling in and everyone had their chances to meet up with the bloggers that they come across every now and then in the Ping community. Everyone had name tags that helped identify each one of us and due to the evil blogger by the name of Wendy, I had this tag.
Chao Ah Beng
Everyone loves to hate a Chao Ah Beng and hence I got quite a lot of poofs from the pingsters. But I wasn’t the most hated! The winner is actually…
Shervon & Sheylara
Diana’s lovely daughter, Shervon got the most POOFed award! WAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Not that she is hated though. Everyone wanted the little girl to win something. =P
NTT & Mintea
The awards were hosted by the laugh inducing duo, NTT & Mintea. Despite a few cock-ups here and there, the awards were given out at a very nice pace. I was nominated for quite a few and I expected to return home empty handed after awhile as other bloggers walked away with their prizes. But I manage to win the “Most Entertaining Blog Award!”
Most Entertaining Blog
And with the votes of the great crowd there, I won the “HP Blog of the Year”!!!
Blog Of The Year
I TOTALLY DIDN’T EXPECT IT! I only remembered being in a daze as I walked up to receive my prizes which consists of….
Lovely Glasses by MarkChoon.com
…..and the biggest prize of the night….

HP Mini!
This has to be the most awesome thing I won so far in my life! And no better time than now when I am actually looking to get an UMPC to blog and surf on the go. Thank you to the great people at HP and Waggener Edstrom Worldwide for sponsoring such a prize!
Melvin! If you are reading this, get me a new set soon! I can’t wait to caress it!
Sorry if this post felt very truncated and bullet like. I am so bloody sleepy and I cannot write this post as well as I should. But before I end this post. I will like to thank the following people. Uzyn, Daphne & the committee for organizing such a memorable event. Claudia and Miccheng for preserving the memories in pictures and video.
But most of all,
I want to thank all the readers who nominated and voted for me. Without you guys and girls, I would be just a regular guy with a blog.
Now, I am a regular guy with a blog, armed with two ping pong bats, a glass and a HP MINI!
WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! And please watch this great lipdub video created by Rinaz for the Anniversary!
