Nuffnang is proud to be a part of Sabahan Bloggers Gathering which took place last Saturday in Kota Kinabalu.

Over 150 bloggers from Sabah and some from Sarawak as well met up at Imperial Hotel, Warisan Square for a lavish evening dinner together. The gathering was aimed to foster and bridge Sabahans as a community and further encourage real life involvement of fun as most of bloggers don’t know the actual person behind the blogs they read. So the gathering was deemed as a perfect opportunity for them to meet each other in real life under one roof.

Among many who attended the event was Louis Pang, an international award-winning photographer, a local Pop/R&B singer and composer Terry Peter and Richado Tawith, as well as Sabah VFM’s top and bubbly DJ Selina Light. In addition, Robb Chew, Nuffnang’s Blogger Relations Executive was there as well on behalf of Nuffnang and Exabytes for the gathering.

The night was filled with performances from various musicians from the Sabah Institute of Art, Locust Day-Dream, and specially invited local artists namely Pop/R&B singer composer Terry Peter and Richado Tawith. The Sabahan bloggers were truly rewarded with heavenly musics and rhythm for the night. Some even took the rhythm to the dance floor.

There were many lucky bloggers who won various prizes from various sponsors through lucky draws, mainly Exabytes which is one of the main sponsor for the event. Robb was given the honor to make the lucky draw and present the prizes to the lucky bloggers on behalf of Exabytes and Nuffnang.

Overall it was a fun filled night where many bloggers were happy to finally met each other after reading each other blogs before this. To add to that, the food and performances were splendid and everything went smooth according to plan. All of them were happy for attending the Sabahan Bloggers Gathering. If you think you’ve missed the fun, yes you did. No worries, as there’s always next year for Sabahan Bloggers Gathering!

    I was there, and I think another person who attended it should be added to the luminaries list: Gaman of Sabahan.com. Of all the people there I think I chatted with him the longest. So far he’s posted only grainy & small pics of himself online. But very clear photos of him is in at least one of the countless blogposts on the event. I’ll leave it to you to find out… :-)

    kenwooi: i am from kuala kangsar, but i drove all the way to kl for the nuffnang wild ‘live’ blogging party two months ago!

    same goes to sarawakian bloggers: i guess since sabah and sarawak not far, you should also be very lucky that you can just go there instead, no need to wait for another in sarawak :P
