OMY Singapore Blog Awards 2014

Last Saturday, i was fortunate enough to attend one of the biggest blogger event of the year, OMY Singapore Blog Awards 2014. Held at Scape* ‘s newly renovate Ground Theatre, this yearly event have attracted many bloggers of different genres to participate.

At the end of the day, only the best of the best were elected and chosen to fight this battle. Today, we are here to celebrate the hard work invested in these outstanding blogs and at the same time, find out who are the conquering heros from these uphill battles.

With that, let’s move into the Cave of ~~Malice~~ Friendly Associates.

~~As I glanced around looking for my biggest competi~~….

Ok, I know, I know, enough of this “war talk” because at this rate, you are going to be reading Shi Hui’s Game of Thrones instead of the happenings at OMYSBA 2014.

Converting to the right mindset NOW:

Surrounded with cocktail tables, horses and derby queens*, OMY have managed to incorporate a glittery art tattoo station and of course the oh so important, photobooth.
