AZYZE!

Azyze, please let me know if you would like me to post the bag to your office or your home. Thanks!

As for the the Prizes of cash prize of Â£100.00 (approx. US$165 and 10 Amazon vouchers worth Â£10, please visit Adam’s blog. He will announce the result soon!

Here’s the snapshot of the randomised list:

The BlogFT contest has finally ended last January 5th and from the status of its Facebook, there has been tonnes of last minute entries. I wish I was one of the last minute submitter as I have one more post to submit. But I just couldn’t bring myself to complete it due to a mild fever. Anyway I would like to extend my gratitude to all who have voted for me. Thank you so much for voting and most of all, thank you for reading.

The result for December is not out yet and I reckon that the Grand Final results will only be out late February/early March as the Media Category has been extended to 5th of February 2010. Of course I want to be the winner, or the 2nd prize winner but whatever the result is, I am happy to have taken part in the contest and write/illustrate about Kuala Lumpur. I have been doing that before the contest and will continue doing so after the contest as it is a ritual for me to blog about places I have been to.

Ok, let me re-cap the posts that have made it to the Final:

KL: A to Z Fun Things To Do & Places To Visit With Kids

Illustrated Postcard VI â€“ Putrajaya

Despite it’s title, I actually have a collection of KL, Putrajaya and Labuan postcards in this post. You see, previously, I submitted the postcard one by one. Silly me. Tan Sri Dato’ Elyas Omar personally told me me during the Monthly Prizegiving Ceremony that he was so confused that I have so many posts and lucky that I have a post with all postcards in it. Same goes with the KL:A to Z Fun Things. I think I have up to letter L or M that I post individually.

To those who are working in the Media Sector, you can still enter the Media Category and you have up to January the 5th to submit your entries. To enter is easy, just visit Blog4Ft website, register yourself , place Blog4FT logo, have your blog post ready and submit your post.

Before I end this post, here’s a list of “You know you grew up in KL in the 80’s if…”
