i won the top prize of a lucky draw before.
it happened when i was still in sec 1. but i almost forgot when it
happened til i recounted the details as follows:
the local CC organised a fun fair in my primary school compounds
which was just behind my block. the first prize was a $3k OG
shopping voucher. and OG was right next door to where i stay. haha
those who know your landmarks well, should have figured by now
where i stayed. anyway.. the mc was reading the numbers.. and i
almost couldn't believe it when almost every number matched the
ticket that i was holding.
i was there with my younger brother. my parents already gone home
thinking it would not be that lucky.. haha.. but the best part that
i recalled was the counting down to the top prize.. as typical
singaporean, we all jeered when the number that was read out does
not belong to us.. haha so when we counted to the top prize.. and
when the number was read, i din even ask my brother to confirm it..
i just waved the ticket in the air as i raised my hand so that the
MC could see and not skip to another number.. haha and well when my
brther and myself was on the way to collect the prize, there still
people booing.
so.. we got that 3k voucher.. my brother being 2 years younger
still can't believe it. when we showed the top prize voucher to our
parents, they were as ecstatic.. and i think after a quick shower,
we got on straight to OG.
so we ended buying a lot of clothes and stuffs. i remembered
getting a pair of track shoes.. the reebok ERS.. and it was this
that made me realise it was in my sec one cos i wore it to sch the
next monday. in primary sch, one wasnt allowed to wear track shoes.
well, in my sec sch we were allowed. i ended up getting some NIKE
shorts and 2 nike gym towels these are still with me today.. and
its like more than 10 years.. haha
it is quite an unforgettable memory for me..
