dklf.... reConnect

For the past few days I was being such a pig. Felt so lazy to do anything. So this afternoon I decided that if I should start to do anything, it would be from my room first. So, I put my brand new Singer Aquatech vacuum cleaner that I won the other day to use. Man, I felt like a homemaker d just by holding the thing. Surprisingly, I couldn't find the manual anywhere in the box. I decided that I can let do without the manual and just follow my 'homemaker' instinct on how to operate the vacuum cleaner. It started off fine, but I felt that the suction power is very weak. And there's no button to control it. My 'homemaker' instinct told me that it was meant this way so that heavier objects such as coins won't get sucked into the machine. Fine. Half an hour later I was done, and my room felt cleaner. At least to me. So when I tried to put the vacuum cleaner away, something just fell off it. A piece a paper. Darn. No wonder the suction power was so weak, the manual was blocking the airway all the while. I'm not that sure that my room really feel any cleaner now.

I was having my nap yesterday evening when my handphone rang. It was the Star people. The guy told me that I have won a prize in the recent Malaysia, My Home National Day contest. Woohoo!! Even though it's just the consolation prize, haha... Will be getting some Gintell and Singer products, hmm, can let my parents use them. Now I realized that actually I have won quite a number of times in contests organized by the Star newspaper. Complementary movie passes for at least three movies, two LOTR contests and now this. But I never claimed my movie tickets. Hoping to grab a grand prize in the future, haha. The prize-giving ceremony for the LOTR: Return of the King contest was a memorable one. The winners got to tour the then newly-opened Royal Selangor Visitor Centre and participate in their School of Hard Knocks. Too bad the pics I took then were gone together with my old hard disk. So.... remember back up your files!
