“Thanks” to today’s gadgets, more and more kids tend to say, “I don’t know what I’m good at. I don’t know what I like. I’m not interested in anything actually.” (But somehow they are interested …

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ….

Seriously.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh …

That was my reaction (inside my head and heart!) when they called my name AND after I went down the stage with the trophy and certificate in my hands.

We’re all at the Singapore Food Trail (Singapore Flyer’s outdoor eating place) last saturday.

I was sitting next to June (A fellow finalist who’s a great mommy and writer at MamaWearPapaShirt!), sipping my sugar cane when they played the video, showcasing the finalists in the Best Family Blog awards.

Baby Brie was already fast asleep in the pram. It was about 2.30pm I think.

Frankly, I was ready to clap for Daphne because I predicted the trophy will go to her again this year, a great blogger and Mommy!

 

Till today, I think the fact that Our Everyday Things actually won the Best Family Blog title this year in the Singapore Blog Awards 2012 hasn’t quite got to my head completely.

I was like, ‘Is this for REAL?’

It’s my first (ever) official trophy and award! And, to have received it for something that I love to do (and will continue to do regardless there’s a contest or not!) is just sooooo overwhelmingly … errr … can’t describe the feeling!

I’d love to write a little more on this amazing journey, but alas … we’ve just got back to Jakarta and my home is still a mess (and I’m due to pick up Anya from school too).I’ll write another post and share more photos later! Promise.

For now, I’d like to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who’s been supporting and reading up my blog (and watching OUR CHANNEL!)

I’m honoured to have been amongst such dedicated blog finalists too this year!

(Especially to fellow parent bloggers : we all know how keeping a blog while being a parent as well is not that simple and easy)

And last but not least, sincere thanks to the judges, omy.sg and its team for organising the event as well!

I hope Our Everyday Things can always be a blessing to you, and many many more out there!

I’ll write again soon!
