Contest Junkies Part 2

hehe... here's the photo "show" of the ST competition which we took part in... We started at around 11+pm on 15th July, the draw was to take place at 12pm the next day. We had to find 35 letters in the 15 days worth of newspapers and solve the riddle which will tell us where to deposit the "contest" form for the lucky draw. 12hr saga begins....




in 30mins, together with the help of our two friends, we cut out all the available clues from the 15days worth of newspapers and managed to "solve" the riddle... but it was a life saving sms from fren's sis that actually confirmed our riddle hee..

Unfortunately, we realised that we had ONE letter missing... the letter T!

After cutting down all the alphabeths from the newspapers, we had to wait till saturaday's papers to paste all these letters into the space available to solve the riddle.. with one missing letter, all our late night efforts would have been wasted.

SO we HAVE to FIND the last letter T, by hook or by crook, we started formulating all the possible ways to find that letter over a square table and finally we arrived at the conclusion that we'll have to depend on our extended family to get the "extra" help...

After the extensive 4hr "discussion" we were exhausted but not going to give up, we got up early the next day morning and started hunting from my bro's hse... he's the nearest to me heh... lucky me.. the first set of papers i started to dig.. got the letter T!!! YEAH!!!!

We got news that the traffic at East Coast (the destination) was really jammed packed with people and CARS!!! There will be NO way for us to get there on time to deposite our form... so we took a detour, travelled on some inland roads, prayed real hard and managed to find a suitable spot to deposit the car first... heh... AD was sent to run ahead to get to the BOX. but he only found some pple who said that they were staff of SPH and handed them our forms... we never got to see how the form looked like, nor how the draw was being held... we're too far away, too exhausted and too engrossed in our own conversations. =D

well, one lucky winner took away that car... not us... but we did have great fun and a bunch of memories to bring home with us.

Am definitely looking forward to next week's Heritage Race heh... more blogging to follow!
