Frankly speaking I really don’t know how to write this post. To begin I got an email from the Social Media Week that my blog was nominated for Best Photography Blog, they didn’t tell me, who nominated it. Up Until now, I don’t know who nominated my blog, then the organiser Malaysia Social Media Chambers asked me to promote my blog and this event to get people voting for my blog. Actually I felt like a winner already even though I just got nominated and I did very little in promoting my blog, knowing that there are thousand of other great photography blogs out there.

Anyway I would like to take this opportunity to thanks everyone, readers and followers and also those who voted my photography blog. The dinner for World Bloggers and Social Media Awards 2014 was held at Zebra Square in Kuala Lumpur. I came here with my wife. Those two group photographs of me with the winners and VVIP were taken by my wife. The awards were presented by Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, together with Shahul Hameed Shaik Dawood Founder & President of Malaysia Social Media Chambers and Dato’ Haji Ibrahim Abdul Rahman Director General Department of Information Malaysia.

Some of my friends ask me, what did I win, did I win a lot of money, to be honest with you, I did not win any money, not even a penny but just a trophy, a power-bank and pink colour Ninetology smartphone. But then the exposure that I get is tremendous, most bloggers knew that, “Links” is the online currency, I mean, when we get connected during Malaysia Social Media Week, most bloggers will talk about it and most of them also will give a direct links in their writings to the winning blogs and that links will create more exposure. I wish I can write more about the “benefit” of the exposure but maybe I will write it in another post.

At the moment there quite a few of interested person, company  or potential clients have contacted me for advertising purpose or collaboration but at the moment I’m more interested to collaborated with anything related to photography and travel.
