I got a phone call while I was sleeping just now.
Fresh: Did I wake you up?
Me: Yeah, but it’s okay. What’s up?
Fresh: I just want to tell you right….you’ve been selected as a finalist for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards in the Best Lifestyle Blog category.
Me: (stunned silence)
Me: REALLY??? OMG!!! FUCK!
Me: (incoherent happy blabber)
Fresh: Erm…that was not the reaction I expected.
Me: (continues blabbering happily)
…and then I dropped back to sleep coz I was volunteering for a soup kitchen till the wee hours of the morning last night.
I don’t even know if I dreamt it at first when I woke up the second time. *inception music
I looked at my email and…
YES, IT HAPPENED. 🙂
Thank you all for nominations everyone! You totally made my day, week and year. 😀 😀 😀
I’ve been blogging for a long time now. I started in April 2002 back when I was studying in Melbourne. Why should you vote for me in the Best Lifestyle Blog category?
Well, I do a lot of crazy shit like the above and it’ll be nice to know that I’m risking arrest to provide you with quality content and my work is appreciated. 
Browse through the Best of sixthseal.com category and have a look around if you’re not familiar with my blog and if you like what you see, I’ll very appreciative if you could cast a vote for me.
Two years ago, I sat #foreveralone at the tables while I watched the nominees win.
This year, I have a shot at going up on stage.
It is admittedly a long shot, but with your help, maybe, just maybe, I’ll be standing up there at the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011.
The voting period starts from 15th November and will end on the 27th November. I’m under the category Best Lifestyle Blog.

The volunteer thing you went with Audrey and Timothy, sounds very good. Was very touched and inspired after reading it on Timothy’s blog 😀
Yeah, it’s a really good cause to spend your Saturday nights on. 🙂
I think I’ll be going again this Saturday. Let me know if you plan to go. 😀
i wish i’d recorded that call in all of its incoherent glory. i thought i could feel fucking sunbeams coming out of my phone speakers. hahahahaha
Well, it was one of the better calls that woke me up that’s for sure.
It certainly beats “Hey sorry for waking you up, can you bail me out of jail?” type calls. 😉
HAHAHA
Yeah, coz it was so unexpected. Seeing as you are the bearer of good news, you got shot with sunshine instead of lead. 😀
awesome, good luck bro! I’m just hoping I have the chance to attend the event to support you
Thanks for that bro! 🙂
Yup, it’ll be great to see you at the Nuffnang blog awards!
All the best! 😀
congrats! keep up the good job!
Thanks! 😀
I certainly will, been blogging for a long time and I’m not going to stop. I love writing. 🙂
lifestyle? not controversial? 🙁 i always felt that your blog is peppered with controversy . ahahahaha
Unfortunately, they didn’t have that category or I would have snagged it for sure. 😉
Heh! Life is about ups and downs, and I’m glad I documented it all.
Cheers Michelle! 😀
Hahahah I like all the 9gag style meme pics, and HELLO fellow finalist!
I VOTE FOR YOUUUUUU!
Haha! Cheers and congrats bro! 🙂
Thanks for the votes in advance. 😀
I guess there’s no need to create The Most Controversial Blog category after all. Congrats bro!
HAHAHA
Guess not bro. Thanks for the well wishes! 😀
Congrats dude! See you that night! 😀
