(Warning - contains shameless pleas for your vote)Okay, this is totally unexpected, I somehow managed to be one of the top ten finalist in this year’s Singapore Blog Awards under the “Best Individual Blog” category. Omy sent me an email with this subject - “Singapore Blog Awards 2009 Finalist – Best Individual Blog”. I opened the email and saw this ..Congratulations! You are one of the top ten finalists in the Best Individual Blog category in this year’s Singapore Blog Awards!
Your blog is shortlisted from over 1500 blogs submitted and will now go through the scoring and voting phase (See http://sgblogawards.omy.sg).
Wow, how is this possible? My bo liao blog has been shortlisted from over 1500 blogs! Lol, miracles do happen, I think it’s because my beloved team Newcastle United has just been relegated and they thought this would be the perfect gift to cheer me up. Maybe those really famous bloggers like Xiaxue, Mr Brown and Dawn Yang cannot join (or can they? But know they sure win and give others a chance) that’s why ha ha. Sorry ah, noob in finals so a little excited.
Wow, first time seeing my name in the newspaper and its not the singer Wu Jia Hui. For bigger pic of the article click here. Too bad i don't have the hardcopy or not can frame.
It’s been around 6 months since I came back from my 3 years break from blogging and this is the perfect motivation for me to continue blogging like forever. =) Even if I don’t win (surely lah), it’s good to know that at least the judges appreciate my blogging and think that I’m fit (not physically, I still need to exercise and slim down after my exams!) enough to be in the top ten. As long as there is someone other than me reading my blog, I guess I will continue blogging. Actually, even if no one reads it I think I will blog he he. It’s like a diary right? Maybe one day I will tattoo my blog’s address (boliaosia.com) somewhere and if something happens to me (touchwood), my family members and friends could see the tattoo, go to the address and read about my life story if they haven’t already been reading it heh. My posts are usually happy posts though as I think I rather keep the sad thoughts to myself, which is a good thing right?? Then they can remember me for the happy times I had ha ha.This was what I wrote in my comeback post 6 months ago ...
Hello .. Mr Wu is back! Been feeling pretty bo liao nowadays so I guess I will start blogging again. This time I will try my best to keep blogging for a long long time.I guess I managed to honour my words then ha ha. Still blogging after 6 months! There are actually 5 sections in my blog now – my bo liao life, entertainment, news and articles, random videos and the recently (yesterday!) added iPhone section. Will make picture links to them at my sidebar soon.
Been reading my past posts and found them to be really bo liao. So I have renamed my blog "Bo Liao Sia"... Hope you like it. Future posts will be bo liao as usual with maybe a little more substance (I hope). The blog now has a simpler layout (will improve the design later) for easy reading and I will add labels from this post onwards for easy referencing. Due to modern technology even lazy guys can get organized!
Its been more than 2 years since I last touched my blog due to my very "busy" schedule. Have been watching lots of American, Japanese (not av) and Taiwanese dramas. Chen Shui Bien's case considered drama right? Also playing ps3, pc and iphone games. I guess in my future posts I can review some of the dramas I watched and games I played and maybe some other random reviews of other stuff I use. My life is pretty boring so I guess this blog will be full of bo liao lazy man's reviews. Lazy man review means it will be short reviews heh. For those who are lazy to read long reviews or maybe its because I'm lazy?
Okay, enough of re-introducing my blog in an attempt to persuade first time visitors to come again (wink wink). Back to the Singapore Blog Awards!
I still can’t believe it ha ha. Of course I’m delighted with this top ten thingy.
