"My Nuffnang Story" & Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 (NAPBAS)

Hello everybody?

Has anyone heard about twitter hashtag #NAPBAS ? NO??? Yes??????

Errr..how about this ...an event to honour all the bloggers around Asia Pacific? To name a few, the bloggers from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore.

Well, here are some of the info......

Come 16 December 2011, 500 bloggers from around the Asia-Pacific region will flock to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 in Putrajaya Marriott. The Awards aims to not only honour the region's best bloggers, but also to bring together blogger communities from across Asia-Pacific. The Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards is brought to you by Volkswagen Malaysia and Putrajaya Marriott.

As a proud Nuffnang blogger, I'm so excited to join the crowd and attend to this awesome event!

How I wish that I could have the invitation card as follow :-

But first, let me share with you, my beloved readers, about My Nuffnang Story.

I have joined Nuffnang community soon as I owned a personal blog. Flash back, I have created my Nuffnang account dated 12th February 2011. It is actually quite some time that I became a Nuffnanger but I always consider myself as a new fresh blood to the Nuffnangers !!!

With Nuffnangers, I managed to spread the updates among my own community such as my family members, my friends, my colleague and others. Good things are meant to be shared, right? Besides that I have made new friends and enlarged my social networking. Isn't it cool to have a bigger community and share the same passion for blogging? Cool, huh? Well, I find it super cool !!!! I also entitled for a product first hand promo and updates. Recently, I have attended Astro B.yond IPTV's event and it was a good exposure to review and get to know the product better !! Moreovers, I'm one of the lucky Nuffnangers as I walked away with RM100 cash voucher during that night !!!!  

On top of all, I hope that I could motivate myself to become a better person with Nuffnang besides earning some cash !! As a part of Nuffnang community I'm looking forward for a win-win situation that could contribute not for both party, but for 3 parties which is Nuffnang, myself and my blog.

OK that's the end of My Nuffnang Story.

Let's focus to the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 !! Here are some of the pictures taken during NAPBAS 2009.....
