December 15, 2004 Asia Weblog Awards 2004
Somehow I managed to get nominated for this year’s incarnation of the Asia Weblog Awards. I usually don’t go in for these Awards things since I never really blogged to be popular and I think my posts sort of reflect that.
But I should thank whoever nominated me in them and who thought that my rantings might provoke a modicum of interest in people. And to Simon (of Simon World) who has taken over the Awards from Phil (of Flying Chair). Running anything like that is a huge undertaking and also subject to abuse, as Giles (of Misohoni) will attest to.
The nominees for Best Hong Kong blog are:
Gweilo Diaries
Glutter
Discombobulated Mia
Hemlock
Eshin
Shaky Kaiser
Yoga Yuga
Ordinary Gweilo
EastSouthWestNorth
Sweet Chariots
You can vote here.
At the end of the day, I don’t really have any platform to stand on so my recommendations for your vote in this category should go to:
Glutter (A more intellectual read from a real life HK person)
Discombobulated Mia (She’s amusing and can write)
The Shaky Kaiser (Truly a lad lost in Hong Kong)
And of course, to Spirit Fingers, who is listed in the Best Newcomer category. Her insights into fashion and her wit deserve her to win that hands down.

I agree with your selections except for Glutter, my choosing would be Yoga Yuga.
I wish Simon all the best with his Awards – but not as good as mine haha.

No, but yours is an ongoing thing.
And yep, I figured you wouldn’t be rooting for Glutter.
People… I don’t want to rock the vote or anything…but will you all please be sensible in voting. Like when you see Gweilo Diaries taking the lead then invest your vote into one of the lead runners!!!! Shaky for President!
