 To my surprise (again), the prizes for the 2008 Olympics Global Contest has reached me! I am one of the 200 winners (3 from Malaysia) of the third prize. Frankly speaking, I couldn’t remember exactly what was the contest about. All I could recall was that I remember there were a few questions asked on Olympics and a slogan to fill in.

The certificate which comes together. (The "wrinkles" are caused by some postmen during the whole mailing process)

 The pre-stamped postcard comes in a beautiful photo frame. Mine features Bei Bei which represents water sports. At the background is the Water Cube – The National Aquatic Center.

I am so happy for Sethu cause he’s finally wedded. After all the preparations like hall booking, card printing, caterers searching etc etc… He managed to become a man, THE MAN!

Congratulations to you, Sethu and wife! Take my advice – don’t be naughty… everyday ROTI-MAN… Haha! (Our secret code – SYYYYHHHH)

The beautiful ‘kolam’  

Cheh… like an artiste… walking on the red carpet… Grammy Awards ke… Oscar ke… MTV awards ke…

14 June 2008 is the first day for the rakyat to get back their money from the Post Office… well not everyone but some of them. Basically for those who have paid their road tax from 1 April until 31 May 2008. I am one of them! (Due to the increase of the petrol price. This is the rebate for us, the poor rakyats.)

I went to the Post Office in Sungai Besi and almost whole of the place is packed!… Quickly went to get the number and a form to fill up. After waiting for 1 hours and 40 minutes, the officer in the post office announced that they have ran out of cash. What they can do is to give us Money order. Well, me being me, I don’t mind getting a money order. Frankly speaking, that would be a better choice at the first place, ain’t it?!

What more? Got it! Keep it! Bank it!

 Waiting patiently…
