My Take on the 2009 Nuffnang Bloggers Awards

MUAHAHAHA… ok so you’ve probably read many blogs on how the NNAwards went… and so here is my version. *wink*

You can definitely say that I was there to really party it up. Seriously, what mum wouldn’t when you’ve been shipped off for 5 days without your little totters chewing on your ankles and them gnawing on your ears asking ” I’m bored…What can I do now?”. I decided that I was really going to take this opportunity to kick up my feet, relax… and most of all… ENJOY.

Firstly, before I move on to the pics :) I have to warn you some of them were quite blurry… and well… as you read on, you’ll know why *wink* hehehe.

Ok, if you are intending to go interstate, or overseas by plane for a week, I suggest that you pack your car and park at LONG TERM parking at the Melbourne Airport. It only costs $69 for a week, but definitely check out their prices because it works out WAY cheaper than taking a cab there and back.

YES I took a photo so that we knew where we parked after our trip, just incase I killed all my brain cells partying too hard.

Thursday night we arrived. Thursday night, we ate. Frogs legs to be exact. Sorry not food pics. I was WAY to hungry that I just wanted to gobble up frog legs and ginger congee. Frogs legs are a bit like fish meets chicken.  (Hehehe… sorry I’m no food blogger)

We were nicely put up at Ritz Carlton Hotel (Thank you TIM and MING!), and after an ok sleep, morning came and we were on a hunt for Bak Kut Teh for breakfast… Chinese STYLE! YUMO!

Dave made an interesting observation. Asians LOVE meat off the bone, while other people like the chunky bits. MEAT OFF the bone for me thanks! Hmm… I so need to have some Bak Ku Teh now…

Liver and kidney… yummm…..

Then it was off to Mustafa for abit of retail therapy. This is a 24hr store that sold EVERYTHING. From food, to shoes, accessories, sunnies and ofcoarse…

…golden elephants.

Then it was back to the hotel for a little rest and to doll up for the BIG NUFFNANG AWARDS.

This is us having a drink at the hotel before we were nicely escorted by Ester; a  Singapore Nuffy.

Time to get jiggy with it and scoot.

All the formalities were kinda making me itchy. Seriously, I am too much of a monkey to sit still…

IMG_1051

…as you can see…

Early pics with the Aussie Bloggers. Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! If you were there on the night, you probably heard some crazy girl squeeling every time an Oz blog came up on the videos. That would be me. If you’ve seen a video stream of the night itself during the presso with the nominated bloggers, if you listen carefully… you’ll here a squeel… yes THAT WAS ME.

Now, you see as the night went on, I had more vodka shots. The more vodka shots… my vision was a little more like this…

IMG_1054

Hotties!

IMG_1057

That’s right… I even did it with the Malaysian bloggers, and Mr. Kruppy. I HEART you guys!

IMG_1058

I got to sit on the VIP table with deary Auds, and being RIGHT in front of the stage, I reckon that Alan Wu was digging the crazy girl on the front table because everytime he said “Drum roll please…”, I felt like he eyeballed me like it was my cue to go nutters banging on my table!

WOOT WOOT… Alan, you need a co-host for Amazing Race!! Pick mE!

IMG_1076

Um… a few more vodka shots…  but still standing here with the Aussie food bloggers…or atleast trying to take a picture of them anyway…

IMG_1089

And lastly, the Entire Nuffnang Team.

This is just ONE part of many to come on the 2009 Nuffnang Awards. I really should head off to bed to prep up for more house moving tomz morning.

Love love, and check in again for the next post on how I managed to continue partying, rolled out of bed, schlepped the Uniquely Singapore Tour, and then party up more.

Also, I’ll have the “goss” interesting facts on the each of the Aussie Bloggers, in posts to come. Afterall, not only are they all super bloggers, but they are all human, and VERY REAL.
