It’s that time again and I went to Harbour City to take some pixs for this year christmas holiday. Every year Harbour City do a different theme and I think it’s becoming my annual ritual to take pixs at Harbour City.
The place was packed.

Took up an invitation to check out the Fashion World Talent Award (FWTA) briefing.
I was just curious. So…I went to check things out.
Felix explained the ‘Why’ on organizing such a competition.
These are the power people in the fashion world.
Ed from dookaz.com
Food…I did not take any.
Took a snap shot at her.
And this one, too. Nothing against bald people. Just the moment was presented in front of me.
And this one, too. I thought the earring was nice but the photo did not come out well.
Well, check out their website. I know nothing about fashion and I was wondering…wouldn’t it be nice if I as blogger be issued a press card to attend their competition. I just want to take photos….that it…

The second day. Nothing to shout about. The attendance was weak by my standard. Less than one hundred attendees.
Seniors blogger. This was a ‘Wow’ moment for me. Some of them are 90 years old and they are power blogger. Their blog average 1,000 page view a day. Put me to shame….
Sharing their blogging journeys and what have change since they started blogging. One common denominator after they started blogging were bringing their families closer together. That was touching…
Handicap blogger – sharing their thought and blogging journey.
Another session on the third floor, I just stop by and took a pix. Did not stay long enough to listen.
Education sectors and parents talk about social network and blogging.
I left around noon. Maybe the afternoon session was more exciting. I don’t know.
Overall, I was disappointed.
First, The attendance – This is supposed to be Asia events but the audience was less than one hundred on both days. Second, overseas blogger – I did not see name tag prominently display. Example, name, blog, countries their are from. Third, speakers – most of the speakers sat on their chair to give their talks. To me, it’s so damn not professional. Public speaking is about standing in front of the audience, have hand motion, walking around and shares your thought. A boss sit and dictate. That was what I felt. The speakers were dictating his/her intent to me. NOT Sharing.
Well, enough of my rambling. Maybe I am the only one that was disappointed. Everyone seems to have a good time. I don’t know.

I went to check out the blogfest asia day 1. Is there a ‘WOW’ excitement? Well… not for me. Maybe for others.
Global Voices Online talk about their stuff.
This one. The most talked about Pc. Cheapest or something. I got a look up close.
Not crowded at all. Maybe its was too early.
Godaddy.com t-shirt. They are one of the sponsor.
Tweeting…
Blogfest t-shirt.
Dr. Winnie Tang(left) and Edmon Chung, CEO, DotAsia(right). I don’t know the girl in the middle. If someone know her name, I will tag her name.
Charles Mok introducing the second speaker Charlesc.
Charlesc on MA19 — Case study of Ma Ying Jeou 2008 Online Campaign.
I left after the introduction of the second speaker. The talk is not for me. Most of the speakers are from NGO or social political blogger. Out of my league.
Moreover, the talk lasted for almost an hour on the first talk and the second talk probably will last about that time. Half an hour is ok. Anything more than that is too much for me.
At this moment, my benchmark is Punch Party talk. 7 minutes on the talk. You can score a touch down, have sex, complete a 1 mile run, 3 1/2 round of heavy weight boxing and etc. A lot can be done in 7 minutes.
Blogfest. What the word mean? Is it blogger festival in full? What does festival mean? Do I feel that it’s a blogger festival?
Let see what day 2 brings.

Punch Party 3 @ Harbour City. Spectacular background view, Fun speakers, Food and top-notch prizes.
Check out the sponsors. As Punch Party progresses, I can see the sponsors are getting better and better. Some brand name are getting into the action. Air New Zealand sponsored 2 HKG-NZ tickets. It was a ‘WOW’ for me. Hat off to the organizer.
Waiting in line to get in.
The crowd. Huge Venue. At first look, the venue doesn’t look that impressive. But…There is a ‘But’.
The MC for the night.
Now…this is the ‘But’. Once they rolled up the garage door. You can see the stunning background of Star Ferry terminal and the Hong Kong Island. Just awesome.
Took a shot from where we were.
Greenpeace talking about their cause.
Talked about being an air steward for a major airline.
Cupcakes from Skype. Simply beautiful.
Can’t help it. Have to take another pix.
Talk about volunteer works in Mongolia.
Sponsored by Starbucks. If you read my post on PPHK2, the sandwich was Salmon. I made a request for meat and it was answered. Thanks you.
Below are some slide for your enjoyment. Overall, I enjoyed Punch Party 3. Good food and coffee, good speakers and power sponsors. Looking forward for the next Punch Party.
