Double Portion?
October 11, 2005 by scrypton
Yesterday, when I came back from work, I saw a parcel sitting on my computer desk. It was inside a black plastic envelope. When I opened it, it was an MP3 player. It was a prize from Vanilla Coke promotion, and I was one of the winners of the unclaimed prize draws. Quite surprised, I should say, coz never in my entire life could I believe people didnt claim their prizes.
Today, when I came back from work, I saw another parcel, this time sitting on the side desk. It was inside a black plastic envelope. When I opened it, it was ANOTHER MP3 player. The exact same MP3 player.
So now I have two brand new MP3 players sitting on my desk. Which brand (you might ask.. :P)? It’s a BENQ Joybee 110 128MB. Yeah, I know, I know. They are not as good as iPods.. but they are still quite valuable. Well, at least that was what I thought before I checked the standard selling price for these little beauties. They were as cheap as packets of chips!
Nevertheless, I am really grateful to still be able to receive prizes even though for the past couple of months I have been lessening my comp-ing activity quite considerably, especially after I’ve got a full-time job.
Speaking of which, my life is currently in the ups. Despite some patchy roads and a few clashes, I could say that I enjoy my life at the moment. (Erm God… if you by any chance read this.. which I believe you are… please dont send new problems just yet.. I am still recovering from the old patches :P)!!
You Lucky Bastard…
