A Little Disappointed About Omy Blog Awards…

A week back, I saw that bloggers like Ah Wei and Miss Loi recieved calls from omy.sg, telling them of their placement as a finalist in the S’pore Blog Awards. At the back of my mind, I was hoping that they will call me soon but…

DUNCH HAVE LEH!!!

Days passed and Monday came but still no call. So it wasn’t any surprise when I went to the site to only find that I was not a finalist in the ‘Most Entertaining Blog‘ category.

I know some will think that I am a pompous fellow and say,

“You think you blog very well meh?”

.

I actually thought that I was deserving to be at least in the top 10 to garner some votes. Note ‘THOUGHT’ is in PAST TENSE. After spending some time thinking about it, I think every blog that omy has chosen should be deserving to be in the finalist. Blogs are like books or movies. Taste in them will vary from person to person and I guess the panel at omy didn’t think too much of mine.

Oh well, I shall move on…

… and conveniently remove the omy Banner from my sidebar.

WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHA!!

.

Do vote for Sheylara and Rinaz in the category! I think they are deserving!!!

When I first came across the S’pore Blog Awards 2008 by omy.sg, I was very interested in joining. Being such a n00b in the blogosphere, I wanted to see if people like to read the rubbish I spew on this digital space of mine. And it wouldn’t hurt if I would miraculously win it to get the top prize of a laptop!

A LAPTOP! Imagine what I can do with a LAPTOP! I COULD SAVE THE WORLD!

Well, not really lar….. But, It will be nice to be able to surf pR0n on the go.

I was all ready to enter my details in the competition when I thought I should checkout omy.sg to see what kind of traffic the website gets.

This is what I found…

omy1
Chinese…

omy2
CHINESE…

.

omy3
MORE CHINESE…

omy4
AND EVEN MORE CHINESE!!!!!!

.

I have nothing against people who like Chinese websites but I thought that my blog is much catered to English reading people. My Chinese is REALLY BAD and the ONLY post where I attempted to type in Chinese was this.

When I was in secondary school, I hated my mother tongue (Chinese) so much that I would purposely infuriate my Chinese teachers till the point that they gave up on me. During spelling lessons, I would just nap or doodle stuffs in the answer booklet. During exams, I would fill in my name, tikam the MCQ and leave the rest blank.

I got an F9 during a mock exam and it was a surprise when my teacher announced my results…

Teacher: “You got an E8.”

Me: “E8????”

“Yes. Do you wish to retake the paper?”

“NO!”

“Why? YOU GOT AN E8!!!”

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I won’t be that lucky the next time leh!”

.

I probably got lucky at tikam-ing the MCQ on that paper.

.

After much thought on it, I decided to just try my luck at the Blog awards under the “Most Entertaining Blog” category. I wanted very much to submit the “Kristy in #Cybersex” posts as it is quite popular, but I decided to submit more ‘toned down’ ones.

#1. I Was Once Molested Before… (People like to read leh… you pervs! :mrgreen: )

#2. Singaporeans Love MRT Seats (It is a topic close to Singaporean hearts)

#3. Some Questions Are Better Asked In English (To cater to the chinese reading community)

.

Lets see if I even make it by the 1st round!
