Ping Lipdub Video and the announcement of the Grand Award winners!

Rinaz shared her experiences from creating the first Ping.sg community video
The Ping Lipdub Video

We can see how excited she was ya?

The video is very very well done! Everyone loves it! I was rather angry with myself as I couldn’t make it to any of the recordings. Hope we’ll have a second one for Ping’s 3rd Anniversary!

Here’s the video by Rinaz…

After the video, we gathered the finalist for the Most Pong and Poof Awards

Shervon must be wondering what Mintea was doing poking her chest

She’s so adorable isn’t she?

To make the compiling even more transparent, he decided to show it to everyone…


You’ll never see this kind of screen flashed at any other celebrations ok!

Many came to celebrate this joyous event with Ping.sg. I was assigned the task to take photos of the party, which I believe I didn’t do a good job this time. More than 400 shots were taken, but less than 1/4 came out right. Sorry for those shots which I took of you, but didn’t came out right.

I’ve broken up photos into 6 parts for my blog. So let me begin…

At every event, there’s always a team of crew who works together to bring the event to the community. Here’s what goes on behind the scene an hour before the celebration…


All that’s to follow happened at Fig & Olive
