And the winner is...
My husband just echoed that I should compete in a local daily travel competition, since I've always had the neck for competitions and have won some and lost some. The prize at hand was a family holiday package, sounds tempting and the thought of winning one is always encouraging.
Oprah was ran a segment on people's favourite obsession and it featured an American lady who makes a living from just entering competitions! She's won a house, numerous expensive vacations, shopping sprees, cash and even a boat! Now, the closest I would ever come to winning anything would be a Barbie Doll House, forget about a lovely house in Kensington Gardens, with white picket fence, lined with splashes of roses and a panoramic view of Adelaide skyline.
I shouldn't complain considering my earliest win was a concert ticket, cum accommodation cum travel package to Singapore, to catch the bubbly Norah Jones. Whilst based in Kuala Lumpur, I remember gleaming with joy over a phone call with the reporter, after having sang a few lyrics from her album and answered three relatively simple questions.
Little did I know, I will be travelling with hubby and toddler in tow, via an express hired bus, and before embarking on our road trip, waiting in the bus for almost 1 1/2 hours, as one of the reporters in the bus had forgotten her passport. Yes, we were in the bus carrying the entire Malaysian entertainment reporters and much to my disbelief, I was wishing for a quiet comfortable 35 minutes flight to Singapore.
All in all, the trip was tiring, fun as the reporters kept playing with my son and a bit draggy due the countless times the bus driver had to manoeuvre traffic, toilet stops, food cravings pit stops and finally, after a gruelling 6 hours, the sight of brightly lited Orchard Road came into view. The hotel we stayed was fabulous and we had the best buffet and managed to catch up with some family based in Singapore.
Norah Jones delivered a smashing performance, and kept us all in the mood for romance. And we had the best seat in town! I was fortunate to have been interviewed by MTV as they were one of the participating sponsors and best of all, a couple of lucky winners and myself were given the opportunity to head backstage and take a picture with the beautiful Norah herself. I guess the bumpy nauseating bus ride made the trip worth it after all.
So, if I were to make a list of my wins and the galore of prizes which I've swept up ( drum roll please), it would be:
1. Norah Jones concert, travel and accommodation package
2. A RM1000 Ikea shopping voucher
3. A RM500 Carrefour shopping voucher
4. 50 cents CD album
5. An Australian travel bag ( although I was bagging for a trip to the Gold Coast)
6. A month supply of sanitary pads, courtesy of Kotex ( which arrived when I was pregnant!)
7. Movies tickets courtesy of the fabulous Kidspot Social and radio station SAFM.
8. Cafe vouchers
9. More restaurant vouchers
Not bad one might reckon, I may not have won the mega ones, but am certainly blest with certain wins that came my way when I least expected it. At times I think about the prizes I'd like to keep under my wings and came up with the following list.
1. A package to Europe ( to practice my rusty French)
2. Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds
3. A shop-all-you-can spree at Jimmy Choo and Ferragamo
4. A year supply of toys from Fisher-Price and LeapFrog
5. A supply of Guess watches and bags ( to add to my already growing collections)
6. A villa in Italy
7. Dinner with Bollywood's heart throb Shah Rukh Khan
8. A farm full of animals
9. A year supply of Dom Perignon
10. A 20 seater caravan to fit my family and farm animals.
So, I'm on this simple quest, and putting on my best armour to challenge any upcoming competitions and hoping I'd win some mega ones along the way. For now, I'll keep gazing at 'Tequilla Sunrise' parked handsomely at the Outer Harbour.
