freebies galore* 

Freebies.

Hm...the word sends my otherwise tame hormones raging like horny dogs on rabies. Yes, I shamelessly admit on ethernet that I am a sucker when it comes to getting freebies, but not the same way as those aunties described by Simon. No lah. Far from it. I got a bit more class. I repeat - "A bit more" only. Heh.

Let me explain.

I am a sucker for good freebies only. Especially those given away as winnings in radio contests. And I've won quite a few good ones already. Let's see...there was the Equatorial Penang 3D/2N stay from MixFm, the William Hung concert from Red104.9FM and some shopping vouchers. Just two weeks ago, I won a pair of RM120 tickets to Wild Zebra, also from Red104.9FM. That was awesome.

Some may say I was lucky. But I believe it was more of God's grace and blessings. See, I usually pray first before I call in or send my sms. A simple prayer like "God, please, please, pretty please let me win. Let me be the 5th caller through la" (or 1st, or 9th...it depends on the mechanics). So far the prayer always work.

And sometimes the freebies came simply as perks from the right contacts. Like the Disagree concert in Hard Rock Cafe on 6 Aug. I got 2 free tickets from one of the band members' wife, who knew I was a fan of the band and err, the hubby too. Heh. That concert was really cool and I really enjoyed myself, eventhough I only knew 3 songs and also the fact that both Mei and I were a bitsy out of place amid the screaming and jumping Malay punk teens. But who cares - we're out to enjoy ourselves.

And there's also the radio cruisers...I had partipated and gotten myself loads of goodies like Force of Nature pendants, Rustic Living for Urbanites CD, other CDs, t-shirts, magazines, Ambi Pur hampers, Ikea and Coffee Bean vouchers and loads more. After all, the stuffs are good and the questions are practically peanuts easy leh.

If you have never tried it, you should. It's worth the experience.

And my next challenge? To go see Oprah via the Desperate Housewives contest on Astro. This is my ultimate dream. To meet her in the flesh. And to be one of the glam-looking screaming audience. I love her to death. Sometimes, I will get up at 5.00am just to catch a show. And I try to not miss the Primetime show. And if a holiday falls on a weekday, I will watch her show 3 times - 5.00am, 9.00am and 1.00pm. Heh. So I really, really, really, REALLY wanna win this.

Do wish me luck and keep me in your prayers!

Woo!
