Yes! This is not a joke and I am not messing with your head, you don't need to check your eyes.. there is no typing error ...
I really won a car !!! ^^
We received an sms to take part in the SPH Shop and Win competition on 28th June 2008 to win a Subaru Impreza 1.5 (hatch back).
I took part in the same competition last year and missed out on the final round .... boo hoo...
So we went along this time, thinking maybe we could get lucky and win some prizes .. hah..
Last year, the task was to throw a paper plane into the Subaru Forester. This year, we had to play a car race game on a big screen. All you need to do is to tap the buzzer to make the car go, the faster you tap, the faster you go.. the first car to reach the end point wins ....
Here we are queuing for the game ... there are 2 rounds in total ...
Round 1 was relatively easy and I managed to get through. Thanks to my lion dance days, where I was a drummer, i was able to coordinate my hands pretty well... Phew!!! ...
Here's a clip of me during round 2 ... easy peasey .... ^^ check out my fast karate chops on the buzzer ..heee
Finally it came down to Round 3 - the tikum (Malay word meaning try your luck) round.
There were 22 of the contestants. Each was given an umbrella. ... it was getting tense.. I was given the last umbrella and I thought to myself. .. "No choice of umbrella.. so i guess no car, let's hope i win the OSIM uPaPa for my sore back" ...
Here's a pic of the contestants waiting anxiously.. that's me in the front row...
Okay, close up taken by Stephine.. i am trying to stay calm .... *heart thumping* ..... the MC says .. "do not open the umbrella until we say so.. stay calm ... "
MC to contestants: "Okay, un-velcro your umbrellas. On count of 1 , 2 and 3 ... Open your umbrellas !!!" .... 1, 2, 3 .... i was a bit more amused than excited ..slowly open the brolly, check out my expression .. hahaha
When i was opening .. I just saw Steph on the corner of my eyes .. she was went like O_O... "Car! Car! " ... gesturing wildly ... then before i knew, people were shouting at me !!!
I was hysterical and I kept jumping up and down ... hollering at the top of my voice, never in my wildest dream would i imagine that I could win a car in a contest !!! .. .
Here's myself posing with Glenn Tan, CEO MotorImage

Hey, hey, ... i still can't believe I won the CAR !! .. woo hoo ......
I would like to thank SPH for giving me this wonderful price ...
And the sponsors ... I LOVE YOU ALL !!!
And of course, how can I resist not taking a picture with the beautiful subaru girls !!?!?!???! ... since it was a public event and of course since I won a car, i guess i won't have a issue with my wife aftewards .... ^ ^
