My 2009 Miracle

A couple of days ago, I received an email from AirAsia regarding the U2 contest. Since I don't have access to Gmail (I can only see the first few words of my Gmail inbox via iGoogle), I had to ask KS to open my Gmail and check what it was. It was an email that said I was shortlisted as the winner and asked for my contact details.

Not wanting to get our hopes too high, we didn't think much about it. Then, as I didn't have access to Gmail for the rest of the week, I opened my Gmail only today. When I read the congratulatory email, I couldn't believe my eyes! I checked with a friend who works in AirAsia to confirm if there is such a person working in AirAsia, just in case this was some kind of prank.

Then I saw this on the AirAsia facebook site:

Oh. My. Gawd. It's for REAL! I WON! I WON!!!! I'M GOING TO LONDON TO WATCH U2 WITH COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHTS, ACCOMMODATION AND TICKETS!! WOO HOO!!!

Now with that extra bit of money that you save from the airfare and hopefully from the ebay U2 tickets, do yourselves a favour and go eat at a nice restaurant in Paris like "l'epi dupin" instead of eating maggi mee! Also perhaps that trip to Venezia isn't too bad after all either!

Heya Jo, just came across this in your FB. So happy for you!!!! And congrats!!
Eh, so did you buy the eBay ticket afterall? I thought you have bought the tix? Sell it at double the price again? That will cover your expenses there :p
