Yesterday had been a roller coaster ride? Can i say that? Haha...
Zek called while i was at e bus stop outside orchart mrt station, asking me to get a copy of the new paper because the results of "Express Yourself" was out yesterday. The first thing that came into my mind, and which i blurted out on the phone, was "Don't tell me i won something..." Unfortunately, zek replied "I don't know the results, but it's out today.... " -_- CHEH!
*You ppl muz be asking, 'what's "Express Yourself"?' Well, remember the other time I asked all of you to vote for green, blue or orange? Yeh, that was for "Express Yourself" competition. And i guess you all know what "Express Yourself" means right. haha.. *
The 2 of us then debated for a while...
--his stand: "I think you'll win"
my stand: "I don't think i'll win anything"--
...with him saying that he has confidence in me, in the kinda tone like I've seriously won it.
So first thing I did when i reached gwc was to purchase the new paper from 7-eleven. Flipped through the pages, frantically looking for my art, and didn't managed to find a thing. Flipped from the back to the front, and it ended the same way. -_- I called to tell him that it's not inside, but that was after I jokingly lied to him that i won. Haha.. He said that he'll check with his friend again, and less than a minute after I hung up, while flipping through the pages again, reading the news, I FOUND IT! It was pictureless, and only showing the names of the winners(no wonder I couldn't find it). So, I started looking for my name, which should be an easy job since i've seen it for at least 15 years (nursery till now) and because "Q" is such a rare letter for a surname.
Surprise, surprise! I found my name! It was under "consolation prize". So I did win something(yay!) but i lost the debate(boo..)! Hahaha... mind you, I don't mind losing the debate to win that competition k. Of course, I called him!! And i told him calmly that I won a consolation prize. He seemed more excited than I was, but well, I'm always seemingly calm. Haha.. He was like "hey not bad what! Consolation prize! $300 hamper!..." and all i could say was, "orh, ok lorz" HAHAHA... totally, see how calm I was. And my calmness only made him think that i'm not happy that I won a consolation prize. He even asked me if it's because I thought that i'll win a canon ixus (which is e prize for e top 3 entries). Haha.. please lorz, i didn't even think i'll get anything.
He then told me that his friend had told him that my drawing's displayed on the webby, as one of the "selected entries" for category 2. I just checked it for myself, and found that it was one of the four selected entries. FOUR!!! that means i was so close to winning an ixus!! hahaha.. but never mind. It's beyond my imagination for winning a consolation prize already. Oh, and my bro mocked the other winner "who won just by taking a picture of his eye", quoting him. HAHA.. whatever.
Winning something in a competition does help in your life sometimes, even if it's just a consolation prize. I told my bro that i won, and when i got home, he told me that he told mum already. And surprisingly, I kinda got a different treatment from my parents! Not that they don't usually treat me well, but yesterday was all smiles and happiness, you know. haha.. and my dad was still saying happily "wha.. you finally woke up!" when i woke up at 3 pm today. Oh and btw, I woke up finding a fan at the door, facing my room. My dad had specially moved it there so that I can sleep well, although it's time when i should wake up. See how powerful it is?
Anyway, check it out yourself...
