This is not the real Present for me. It was for my son instead. Then why this picture is being shown here?
Well, the twist will begin here. This gift of mine, you won't be able to find it anywhere, even at shopping complexes, convenience stores, pasar malam, mini markets & etc. Even money can't buy this present. It was given by my Little Prince Hern Hern. See any similarities here? Prize= Hern Hern = My Best Gift
Ok.. Any clue? Ahem... Let me elaborate now. We (me & my dear) bought a Parenthood magazine (February 2010 issue) at the Borders. We selected the desired photos to be submitted to the contests provided by the magazine. I pasted the information and sealed each photos in its individual envelopes. WE went to the post office and got the POS Express service and put in into the yellow box. In our little heart, we hope to be the next winner next month. Seem like a perfect plan, right?
BUT...
Is ME who forgotten to paste a very important thing to be qualified for the contests. THE CONTEST STAMPS! Oh no! How @#$%*%!
Immediately, I emailed to Parenthood:
========================
Hi! Good day to you.
I just posted my baby pictures for Parenthood (February 2010 issue) monthly contests (My Beautiful Junior, Candid Camera, Stars of Pureen, Happy Holidays & Smiley Babies). However, I just discovered that I forgotten to attached together with the CONTEST STAMPS. Is there any method I can replaced back the stamps? Please revert. Thanks.

AND they replied:
Dear Boon Hui,
The only way is to re-develop the photos and resend them with the cut-out stamps. Reason is because when the persons on duty retrieve the entries, disqualified entries will be discarded and only qualified ones will proceed to the next stage of winner selection.
We are sorry if this causes any inconvenience to you. We hope you understand that we receive just too many entries daily for all our publications and we do not have the time and manpower to process or keep track of incomplete entries.
Thanks again for your participation and may you continue to support the contests.
Regards,
Editorial Team

Huh... What a waste! I still got the contest stamps with me. What should I do now? Think... Think... OK, better resend another new sets of photos. I repeated the whole process again, selecting the photos, pasting the information and the CONTEST STAMPS and putting them into envelopes.
The next day, me and Hern Hern quickly proceed to the nearest post office. I took the same service again, but this time Hern Hern was the one who put the envelope into the yellow box. Again, we hope to be the winner.
Finally, the month of March, the moment of truth. Deep inside my heart, I got the feeling that Hern Hern will win something from the Parenthood's contest for my coming birthday.
On a fine day, we bought Hern Hern to Giant Puchong for him to play at the indoor playground. Later, we took a rest at the food court. I wanted to get The Star and went to the bookstore. Since I was there, I checked the magazine rack and hunted for Parenthood March issue. I got a copy on my hand... Heart beating very fast... I flipped to the contest pages... AND... WOW! We are the selected winner for Star of Pureen contest. The winning photos was a photo of both ME and Hern Hern! Ohh... I was so touched.
