Won? Won what?
My day was amusing. Keep reading to find out why.
As I stepped in my house (after returning from the mamak) I asked my maid if i received any calls while I was out. She mentioned I had a few missed calls on my handphone.
I went upstairs to my room and checked my phone. 2 missed calls from a KL number, along with a SMS message.
The message read "CONGRATULATIONS! PLEASE CONTACT XXXXXX(a name) at 03-XXXXXXXXX(a phone number, the number that called my handphone) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU HAVE WON!" Or something along that line. I can't really remember.
Skeptical, I called the number. I mean, who knows? Maybe I won something after all. But I never enter competitions. I was expecting a gimmick, some con man or con (wo)man trying to get me to buy their products or something. A woman picked up the phone.
I asked about the sms and missed calls I got and she asked me for my handphone number.
I gave it to her and I asked her what this is about. She explained that she was from TIMEnet. Audition, a not-so-great Malaysian Idol-like show also used SMS to get the viewers vote. According to her, I'm one of the winners in their SMS competition and won myself a handphone.
"Wha? Competition? What competition?"
Still skeptical, I asked for the details. I never watched Audition, what more vote. I'll have to go to the TIMEnet office in 2 weeks time to collect my phone. After saying thank you and all I put down the phone.
"What the crap just happened?"
I went online, to be sure. Sure enough, I found details in the TIMEnet Website. Winners will be informed via phone after the 7th of September. (correct so far) Winners can collect their prizes by the 20th of September. (ya...)
I searched the site for a winners anouncement page. I found my number there.
"..."
I'm hoping my sister has some answers.
But heck, I'm not complaining! =D I mean, BRAND SPANKING NEW HANDPHONE! If all goes well I'll get it in 2 weeks. *WHEEEEEE!*
