As you probably guessed from this week's Wordless Wed with Danboard, I'm going to Macau! :) Actually, I'll be flying off tomorrow morning and be back just in time to host another round of Wordless Wed linky party {join me??}.
Remember the Singapore Blog Awards 2012? For each category winner, they were offered a sponsored prize trip to Macau. In the Family category I was nominated in, the winner was not able to make the trip so it was passed on to the next top blogger in the category - which is ME!!!
*gasp* ビックリした！
It was really unexpected. Never in a million years did I expect to be runner-up, especially since it was my first year joining, and even more so because there were other wonderful parenting bloggers in my category. All I can say is that I'm truly blessed, and thank you all so much for the support you have shown me and my blog. I'm just so overwhelmed with gratefulness, joy and excitement... yes excitement!
I'm excited to visit Macau as it will be my first trip there. I'm excited to discover more of its fascinating culture, places and food {Portugese egg tarts!!}. I'm excited to go with the top bloggers in the other categories like Photography, Fashion, Food and Travel. I'm excited to form friendships, pick their brains and learn a few tips from them on how to be a better blogger and to discover more on their passions because honestly, those are my interests too :)
For the first time in a looooooong time, I don't have to plan any itinerary or worry about what to do, where to go during the trip. Transportation and meals are planned for so all I have to do is to pack my bags and fly away :) Unfortunately, we are not able to deviate from the itinerary and family members aren't able to join the trip so Lil Pumpkin won't be coming. I'm a little bummed, but at least I know she is well taken care of with my mum {thank you!}. The boy and I are planning a family holiday later in the year so she will join in the fun then!!
Thank you all once again for being here in my blogging journey with me. I'll be updating regularly on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the Macau trip so do follow my travel adventures there! じゃ、またね～！
