Blog awards

Ok, let’s talk about something mood-lifting here.

A lot of you people should have heard about the OMY blog awards happening and with all the finalists garnering votes for the different categories.

While all of them are competing against each other to get the most votes and of coz win the new LG phone, I thought there are some worthy blogs which might not have been shortlisted in this contest. Or at least, in my opinion whom I thought were good enough for my liking.

Most entertaining blog: One of the blogs which I liked, is written by Jolene. Whenever I feel down, I almost always feel a bit happier when I read her writings. She came across as someone very jolly and optimistic, and I never failed to laugh whenever I read about her MSN dialogues with her frens, whom she has cute nicks for.

Watch out for her emoticons also. I liked the one where the panda plucks the petals off the flower.

Best photo blog: I personally like Joan’s pictures. Of cos, most of her pictures are of her darling daughter. But who could resist taking pictures of her when she looks so cute and loveable? Very enjoyable read and we literally ‘watched’ Clare being born and growing up.

Best design blog: Priscilla is one creative lady whom I enjoy reading her blog. Although being a design idiot myself, I love looking at her entries where she will frequently introduce the works of her favourite artists. Although her blog layout is not done as elaborately as Veron’s (btw, I like her blog design too and I hope she wins the OMY for this category), most of the time, I liked her self-designed mastheads.

Best blog shop: I seldom read blogs which sells things online, so I’ll choose my personal favourite from the finalist list. I’m attracted to Miss Loi’s and Miss Mao’s blog. Miss Loi – she’s got a very nice blog layout (why didn’t she get into the design category too?) and she has a very unique way of writing her entries interestingly instead of looking too academic. Miss Mao – I like her jewellery design out of wires and clay bits. Nice. She does customisation for you too. Most of her pieces are unique and only one piece.

Best individual blog: Karen Cheng! Need I say more?

Like Joan, she has 2 loveable boys who looked very cute with their antics and behaviour. Other than focusing part of her blog on her boys, she also shows great interest in her everyday lives, trying to make it as colourful as possible. One all-rounder lady, I must say.

Best overseas celebrity blog: Although the first 3 had been finalised at time of writing this entry, I enjoyed reading the blogs of Elva Hsiao (she’s fifth place) and Annie Yi. Elva writes about her travelling, her events promotion, her friends and her life.Unpretentious.

Annie Yi, on the other hand, writes really well (with a few books to her name too). She is one busy lady, jetsetting between countries for her artiste work, as well as taking care of her precious son. She is frank and not afraid to voice out her opinion being a celebrity, and of coz one pretty lady which all of us would die for to have her flawless complexion.

Best local celeb blog: I have several favourites for this category. Cruz Teng (933 deejay), Jamie Teo, Sheylara and Sharon Au.

Cruz – super witty, with his favourite pastime being mj, and his ever famous leg injury which rendered him bai ka for several months. Best of all, he seldom talk about what he writes on air, so it makes his blog interesting because you dun listen to the same thing again.

Jamie Teo – also one all rounder, just married. Complete with brains and brawn. Her entries are short but straight to the point. I enjoy reading her blog and it makes you want to read more. Thank goodness she updates quite regularly.

Sheylara (Qiaoyun)- actress, gamer, blogger, writer. All in one. Her witty entries entertain to no end. Oh yes, and her boyfriend whom she calls the Goonfather. And they make one good, funny pair.

Sharon Au – the ex-compere who went overseas to further her studies. She writes about her life, her friends and she also shares the same agony for exams! An emotional person, and with the different languages she writes her blog in (I use translator to translate what she writes sometimes!), she displays her intellectual side at the same time.

So there, my winners above.

Who are your winners?
