Finally, the prizes arrived....

Appetites & Escapades - Travel and Food Trivia Pursuit


I didn't knew that I had won the 1st Prize in the Grand Lucky Draw, seem to be really fated with SPH recently. First the OMY.sg blogging contest, then the National Day feature of our family, and now the lovely prizes. Actually I have been feeling sad for months after being "dry" of winning anything since winning the laptops in April.
After some checking through what I had won, there's...
- Lowe Alpine Bag Blast 30 ($150+)
- Cityscape Coffee Table Book ($80)
- LX90 Sennheiser earphones ($110)
- Nautica Watch ($160)
- A pair of Zweisel 1872 homemade CLUB champagne flutes ($110)
- Dining and travel vouchers
I have already decided to give the earphones to Ms. Teh Chean Pin, she's my lovely little sister. Been rebellious, naughty and occassionally good. Yes, I know about your little tricks of waiting for your mum to sleep as you sneak to the kitchen making your little tea drink. You have got just too much nasty stuff which I have got hold of, hope you have already confirmed you will be at my home during my confinement as something to keep my mouth shut. Otherwise...

National Day 2009 - Our Family's Excursion

Our family's the lucky winners of Stomp/RazorTV NDP 09 Contest!
I received a email on Friday, 7 August 2009, that my family has been selected to attend the National Day Parade on 9 August 2009, we will be feature on RazorTV and MYPAPER!!! A most overwhelming priceless gift, the 3 boys were buzzing with excitement as I told them the good news.
After some discussion, Journalist Kai Ling from RazorTV confirmed that she will be at my house with her team on 9 August 2009, at 1400 hour. Nervous nervous, our family started some tidying up of the house in anticipation of the visit. Then on Saturday night, Kai Ling confirmed that we will be given 5 more tickets, bringing my total given tickets to 10! Wow, really such wonderful news, my dad, mum, brother, and future sis in law, will all be able to join in the fun! All ten of us are going to take part in the party celebration of Singapore's 44th birthday.
The team was really professional, dedicated, patient, friendly, and yet fun! I was worried they would be freak out with the 3 boys, but luckily they weren't (or at least I think so from the looks of it). Let me introduce you to some of the dedicated SPH staff. We were late as we started off from our home and met with a minor car accident while in Marina Square's carpark. Really felt bad to be making everybody wait at the meeting point.
Reporter from MyPaper, he's quiet, serious in his work and really kind and helpful. We met with a minor car accident as we were at Marina Square, he reserved front row seats for us under the scourching hot sun!! We felt really really bad to be late and making everybody wait.
Kai Ling, the journalist from RazorTV, cheerful, friendly and always taking care of our needs. We got all nervous whenever she started interviewing us camera shy creatures, nevertheless, we still tried our best... hope we weren't too boring though

The dedicated camera lady, pretty, cheerful, warm, and all. The camera sure looks heavy, but she's forever on the go with it, so professional and uncomplaining.

Mr. Kumar, the video man, he's really dedicated and professional. The video recorder looks really heavy, yet, he's always attached to it. A ever so cheerful, warm, friendly man.

Our family had great fun with the SPH team, they were really wonderfully dedicated to their professional. We salute them with deep appreciation, as they were busy throughout the day following us from home till the end of the event.
A huge THANK YOU!
