Get your sexy back!

Nuffnang Singapore is proud to be supporting a brilliant anti-binge drinking campaign spearheaded by Asia Pacific Breweries (The makers of our very own Tiger Beer!).

Tomorrow, the 18th of December, marks the launch of the “Get Your Sexy Back” anti-binge drinking campaign. This youth for youth project seeks to promote moderate drinking as the new sexy, and features 40 ambassadors who believe that a fun night out does not require one to drink excessively.

This campaign is due to be launched at:

Zouk, 18th December, Tuesday, 1930H

and all Nuffnangers are welcome to attend the launch of this initiative. Simply
quote “Nuffnanger” at the entrance, and you will be granted entry!

I do look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!

SYNOPSIS OF NATIONAL TREASURE 2

In this follow up to the box-office hit “National Treasure,” treasure hunter Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) once again sets out on an exhilarating, action-packed new global quest to unearth hidden history and treasures.

When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Ben’s great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincoln’s death. Determined to prove his ancestor’s innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America. This journey leads Ben and
his crew not only to surprising revelations – but to the trail of the world’s most treasured secrets.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Jon Turteltaub and directed by Turteltaub, the story reunites the original cast including Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Academy Award ®-winner Jon Voight and Academy Award®-nominee Harvey Keitel, joined this time by four-time Academy Award®-nominee Ed Harris and 2006 Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren.

NUFFNANG COMMUNITY UPDATE 6: 5th Dec 2007

NUFFNANG COMMUNITY UPDATE 6: 5th December 2007

Dear Nuffnangers,

It has been a fast paced two months since my last update. Growth has come from all quarters and the Nuffnang team could not be happier. I must thank all our bloggers for the continued and overwhelming support they have given us. These are some of the developments in Nuffnang Singapore.

Businessweek Feature for Nuffnang.com’s Founders

Timothy and myself are proud and grateful for having been nominated and then shortlisted as 2 of Asia’s Top Young Entrepeneurs by Businessweek Magazine.

As you know, Businessweek is a magazine of global repute and is widely regarded as one of the foremost business publications in the world.

We would like to congratulate all the other entrepeneurs who made the shortlist. You may view the shortlist here.

I’m no 18, Tim is no 19, do vote for us if you think we’ve done a good job! Thank you for your support in advance.

Charity Collaboration with Nike

As mentioned in my previous email, being appointed partner in Nike Singapore’s Charity drive was a big honour for us.

Nike Singapore had a whole host of other partners to consider, but given the strength of our community, and also our close ties, Nuffnang was chosen.

I am happy to announce the charity drive has been a huge success for us and for Nike. To date over 6500 KM has been run by Nike plus users, translating to more than $32,000 worth of Nike products for underprivileged children. Far beyond numbers, you simply cannot put a price on the happiness of these kids this festive season. The drive is still on going, so logon to nikeplus.com.sg to record those runs.

*UPDATE ON NIKE PLUS SPORTS KITS GIVEAWAYS*- We have recieved hundreds of emails for just 20 sets of Nike Plus Sports Kits. These kits have just recently been delivered to our office, and we realise you need an ipod nano to use the kits. To ensure they are given away to the right people, we would appreciate it if entrants could send us another email to giveback@nuffnang.com, and indicate that you do indeed have an ipod nano.

Moto Q9H giveaway

If you have logged on to your blogger account, you would have noticed a link to this page. Yes, that’s right! Nuffnang is giving away 3 motorola Q9Hs! This is another collaboration between us and our advertising partner Motorola Singapore. Each of these phones is retailing at SGD 888!!! This giveaway is just another way we add value to our bloggers, and reward them for being part of our exclusive community.

Enchanted Event

For our second large scale community event, we hosted a no frills screening of Enchanted by Disney Pictures, on the Gala Premiere night, 19th Nov (Even before it had appeared for sneak previews!) at Great World City.

Within 10 minutes, we had recieved over 300 emails. Thousands of entries were recieved in totality.

I am pleased to announce the event was a great success. Many Nuffnangers attended and enjoyed the event immensely.

A gentle note for future events though. After confirmation of winning tickets, we took the extra step of ensuring people RSVP’d to confirm attendance. Unfortunately a small proportion of Nuffnangers did not turn up on the day. The Nuffnang community is a large one, with 5000+ members in Singapore, unused tickets for community events are high in demand, so if you cannot attend, do pass on the opportunity to the next person :-)

Panel Discussion at SWF 2007

Last Sunday, 2nd December, I had the privilege of speaking at the Singapore Writer’s Festival with the illustrious Kennysia and Mr Miyagi.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended, and also the National Arts Council and The Arts House for organising such a splendid event.

Launch of Nuffnang 2.0

I am sure all of you have logged on to the revamped Nuffnang 2.0 site, and experienced the enhanced features the technical nuffies have been working so hard on.

If you’re wondering what exactly has been improved, you may review the blog post I wrote here. Nuffnang 2.0 is a work in progress, and further improvements will be made in coming months. Stay tuned!

That about wraps it up! Do have a wonderful festive season!!!

Your Nuffnang team will be working hard like christmas elves to find more advertising dollars, organise more events, and bring smiles all around!
