Anyone Seen My Self-Esteem?

Who would’ve thought my luck would be on a roll?

The Halls of Vain… I Mean Fame Contest

Remember my ridiculously vain pictures where I was posing with a few Halls tube in hand?

Well, I wasn’t doing it because of my undying love for the fresh-breath-in-an-instant candies. Rather it was my ‘undying love’ for every chance to win free stuff and money (hey, who doesn’t?) In case you guys haven’t noticed, Hall’s candies were having a "Halls of Fame" contest (http://www.hallsoffame.com.my/main.htm) where they were on the lookout for one girl and one guy to be their model for their upcoming ad.

Having nothing better to do since college ended in May, I decided What the heck? and began my DIY home made ‘photo shoot’ holding the refreshing sweets in hand. And being the always last-minute person, I took the photos hours before going to my 5-day BTN camp (since the closing date was Saturday, while my BTN ends Sunday).

Upon the arrival August 2007, the selected 10 (5 girls, 5 guys) were shortlisted and announced on their website. After facing the disappointment of not being shortlisted (not because I’m desperate to become Malaysia’s first short male model, mind you) since they would each win RM200 even if they didn’t become the final guy & girl to be featured in the ad.

Bye bye, RM200

But I still had the chance to win other freebies by simply voting for the top 2 models: 10 Sony Ericsson K790a 3G phones, a Sony PSP for 2 frequent votes, and 100 Adidas bags for 100 early bird voters.

And so as my favourite phrase goes, What the heck? and I voted 2 very good looking models of choice (ever heard of non-good looking models?)

15 Days Later…

… or in other words today (16/08/07), I received an SMS saying that I was shortlisted to win the Early Bird prize (the Adidas bag). Whoopey! OK, so I didn’t win the Sony Ericsson phone or the frequent voter prize of a Sony PSP (and I would vote like hell for these unknown people because…?) but hey, I won something!

And I’ve always wanted to replace my obsolete bag, which is currently in a sorry state after years of carrying school+college books, and soon I will start my varsity years, so talk about good timing!

The Hotlink Reward Long Deserved

Earlier on today, I woke up to the chiming of my hand phone message tone. An SMS. It went something like this:

"Thank u for being our loyal customer!As a surprise gift,we have credited 200 Hotlink Rewards Pts into ur account!Continue to use Hotlink for more rewards(187A1)"

Well I’ll be damned, I thought. What a good way to start my day, with even more freebies. For those in the dark about Hotlink points (who told you to use Celcom or "The Overrated Yellow Man" Digi?), 200 points equals to RM2 of free airtime or 100 free SMSes to other Hotlink users. So currently, I have 500+ points which enables me RM5 of free airtime or 250 free SMSes to other Hotlink users.

Coolness!

Add these two the free Gwen Stefani concert tickets I won (refer to previous post), I must say, my lucky stars are shining brighter for some odd reason. It’s as if Lady Luck has a humongous crush on me & is hinting through these lucky events.

Or maybe God is just so awesomely Generous
