Yes, this is a contest but no, I’m not offering a prize of RM10K for it. The figure refers to the copies of Honk! If You’re Malaysian in print.
That’s right, Honk! has surpassed the 10,000 mark! And in less than 10 months too! Two days ago I received an email from Eric saying that it’s gone into 6th printing, bringing it to 11,000 copies in print. (That’s not the number of copies sold, in case you’re wondering. Not yet.)
A very big thank you to all the readers who have made this possible. I would like to celebrate this milestone by organizing a contest for readers and bloggers. Participation is as easy as ABC.
Prize
1st – RM100 voucher
2nd – RM50 voucher
3rd – RM30 voucher
You can choose to feed your soul or your stomach : MPH book vouchers or MacDonald’s food vouchers. It’s up to you.
How
Just write your name in the comment box here. That will give you one shot of winning. If you have a blog and want to put a link to this post (this means you have to write an entry about this contest in your blog), that will double your chances. Please mention that you have done so. Then I will write two pieces of paper with your name on them and drop them into the hat for the draw. (Yeah, I’m doing this the old fashioned way.)
Who
Anyone can take part but the winner must provide a Malaysian address for the prize to be mailed to.
Closing date : Saturday, 20 October 2007
P/S : This reminds me : I have been dallying over the Zany Mum contest. I still haven’t announced the winners (response was no good but I still owe it to the respondents to give out the prizes.) So if you have sent in your question to Zany Mum, can you please send me an email?
Hi Lydia!

Have a nice weekend!
I love to read and I’ve got you book at Times Bangsar a few months back… fantastic read. I’ve already linked your site to my blog
Hi Lydia,
Now I’m keen on this. I haven’t even read your Honk! If You’re Malaysian as I’m currently overseas. If I can have at least RM30 voucher, then I can have your book deliver to my door in Malaysia before I even reach there, it’ll definitely be great!
I’ll have a second chance. Mind waiting? I’ll write a post on this tonight. Thanks!:)
Arghhh, I forgot before pressing the “submit” button. Congratulations for this awesome achievement! Hope it’ll hit 20k soon!
Lydia,
I’ve HONK as loud as I can for this post. The link is here.

‘HONK’ ‘HONK’! I am Malaysian,
Housewife, homemaker and author proven
Make Lydia our role model ‘Listen’!
‘Congratulations Lydia’! You have won our hearts
‘Life’s Like That’ I read with a chuckle right from the start
Proud of You and all achieving Malaysians “Syabas”!
Tired of been at McDonald on every lunch hour. Got no free vouchers.
Hi people, thanks for the response. I think I didn’t spell out clearly how to have the double chance. It means you should write an entry in your blog and provide the link back to this post as what Kok and Tarlia have done. But not to worry, anyone who comments here still gets a shot at the prize.
Peggy, thanks for that little ditty. It’s so sweet.
I want the vouchers…McDonald I’m Loving It
Honk….Honk…Honk
Food for thoughts (MPH vouchers) or Food for stomach (McD vouchers) is fine for me.
Congratulations on your success!
Hi Lydia.
Heard about your book a couple of months ago, and also read the interview you gave to NST or the Star? (Can’t remember)
Would love for the chance of the book voucher….
The blog entry regarding this contest: http://witherthorne.blogspot.com/2007/09/lydia-teh-is-being-generous.html
Good luck on your book sales and further writing projects!
arlo there! FU-YOH! Your book is really popular! Congrats to you!
I’m definately in! And I’m doubling my chances! [insert evil plan laugh here]
http://starrymelc.blogspot.com/2007/09/who-wants-voucher.html
Hoping to here the words “Congratulations! You have won!!!” soon
alamak… typo.. that’s suppose to be ‘hear’ instead of ‘here’ o.O
hye lydia…
i read ur advertisment in a internet n news paper..what u have done was so great…love to get the voucher
Lydia,
Congratulations on the 10K sellout!
You’ve got yourself a new reader today. Stumbled upon your older book “Life’s Like That” and currently reading it.
And how shocked am I to know that you’re already famous with a new book! (Really shame of my own ignorance T_T)
Looking forward to read your “Honk! If You’re Malaysian” after finished reading “Life’s Like That”. Again, congratulations for your success, in both the sellout and the luck of today you get a new reader!
I’ve post an entry about this contest here: http://re-arrange.blogspot.com/2007/09/honk-if-youre-malaysian.html
Good luck for your future success, and please feed us with more good stuff for our souls!
Congrats Lydia~
I love reading your book, ‘Honk! If You’re Malaysian’~
I just bought the old book and gonna start reading soon. Anyway, will write a blog post about this soon.
Pick me ya…!! =P
Good luck and I hope you’ll do even better in the future!
Oh yes, count me in! I can’t wait to win MPH vouchers to buy more books, which would obviously include a copy of Honk! If You’re Malaysian since i haven read it yet. I want double chances, higher probability of winning!
Here’s my link:

owh..i haven’t read your book yet but for few months it had been top 10 in Kinokuniya (fiction section). Congrats to you.
Later, i will give your book a try. it’s good to have Malaysian author to write something that stay put at the top for quite sometimes.
I bought your “Honk! If You’re a Malaysian” at KLIA in search of sth to read in my flight to Hong Kong learly this year. Throught out the journey, I was forcing myself not to laugh out loud. Good job!
Count me in!
Mangifera, it was on Kinokuniya’s non-fiction top 10 for three months, not fiction.
Thanks, everyone for the nice comments.
congrats.
Wah wah wah, free book voucher!
My other half keep mentioning abt ur book…. and suggested me to read it as I’m a huge fan of Adibah Amin’s writings….. and why not, as the book already on our bedside table…..
Congrats to u for the 10K….

aisey….just give it to me la the voucher so that i can buy more of the honk! book and distribute them among my friend as gifts
truly valid reason kan….hahahahahah
Hey, Lydia, I’m convinced Honk will sell 20,000 copies! Apparently Nyonya Flavours did and your book is actually better publicised, so it goes to reason that it will!
hey…congrats on Honk! reaching the 10,000 selling mark.
gnustiy, It’s all thanks to Mr. G
Xeus, thanks for the vote of confidence. You mean Malaysian Flavours, right?

Hello, LydiaTeh.
It’s such a great pleasure to know that the no. of copies of Honk! If you’re Malaysian sold has exceeded 10k. Bravo, Congratulations!
As your avid fan, just wish you all the best. Keep up the writing. That’ll definitely feed ur readers’ souls all over the nation.
http://87blogstreet.blogspot.com
Well, trying out my luck.
Anyway, I bought Honk! If you are a Malaysian.
Love it but I have not finished reading it.
I have a major exam coming up and my mum kept the book until its over. I read about half the book the day I bought it and I love them. Its fun to be able to say,”That’s so true.” When you read a book. =)
Thanks. Will blog about this.
I published a blogpost in my blog about u. =)
Hi Lydia.
I’ve been supporting you since your first book.
Love them all. You actually inspired me to write better in my English writing. Here’s a beforehand thank you if i managed to improve my English skills to perfection.
Sorry for late notices.
Pick me,plz.
thx.
Take care and FIGHT for more accomplishments.
I am in exile now with nothing to eat. Have pity on a poor soul. A BIG MAC washed down with a giant coke will be fine for lunch.
Hi Lydia,
Thanks for dropping by my page the other day. Still trying to figure out how did you stumbled upon my two-liners amidst thousands of blogs in this universe. Anyway, I’ve wrote another post about the book and this contest, just to double up my chances. Maybe I can use it to get your earlier books.
Here’s the link to my post:
http://mizeducated-ira.blogspot.com/2007_10_07_archive.html
wow! this looks interesting! i’d like to be in the running for the vouchers pls!! Thx..
Hi Lydia,
Congrats on your 10k mark .. and now for that RM100 prize …. lol
I’d definitely prefer an MPH voucher…please put my name in that hat! And congrats on passing the 10k mark!
I’ll be posting on my blog as well…
Dear Lydia,
Congrats to u, Lydia! Still remember me? I am so sorry because I hav changed my blog, so this is my new blog! Thx!
http://zhenmeng0308.blogspot.com/2007/10/10k-contest.html
Lydia! Your prizes are very attractive! Although I am young but I wanted to see the book too… Anyway, congrats again!
~johnny~
Hi Lydia,
I purchased your book “Honk!…” at the airport after a holiday with family and friends in KL. I grew up in KL but now an Aussie! I could relate so well to so many comments and it brings back wonderful memories! Congratulations. Not only will I post this link on my blog (http://iammaz.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/), but I will also post it on my Facebook page, so I hope I get extra brownie points! =)
Please include me. I want to feed my soul !!!
hi, 1st time come here.. and i saw a contest here… keke.. can i join?
don`t pick me…hehehe
`mengampu` is not my syle…
Following instructions: Perry Lim
Oops! Sorry Lydia, how did that entry get in here? Just linked this page from my blog and that entry appeared.
Nice to see, Nice to touch; Once tried, Remember forever. Mm…….Yummy, yummy, yummy. I want to touch and try McDonald’s burger.
Interesting book. Definitely a good read.
I shall buy your previous two books if you award me with the RM 100. hahaha
See http://thoughtdissector.blogspot.com
Lydia,
Did you remember there’s a reader of my blog who commented on your books? This is what she think is nice and funny…
#2, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 21, 28, 29, 31 are nice, funny
Syahrul, you don’t want to be picked? ok I won’t put your name in.
Perry, no worries.
Kok, thanks for getting back to me on this. There were so many blogs I visited I’d forgotten where to find that reader. But it is usually like this, different readers like different topics depending on their inclination and make-up. By her selection of Savvy Shopper as one of the articles she enjoyed, I know she’s a young lady, haha.
Syahrul, juz joking la.
let we try to grab this chance…
I saw your book at Sunway Carnival Mall’s Popular and read almost 50% on the spot (I’d finish it if not because mom dragged me home).
I’d go back and get the book to feed my soul if I got the money.
Looks like this contest really draws in the crowd. Good to know that
Please pick me, please pick me
Hi Lydia.
i wrote an entry about the contest.

HONK!!

I also wan!
oops…too late i guess
anyway congrats…
i’d read your book and i love it.
Hi Lydia
So in quite the roundabout way, I am constantly reminded of you, not to mention seeing your books each time I go to MPH or Popular. I just want to say congrats for the success of your book. It must be exhilarating to get into 11K and knowing somehow 10K books with your name and stories are out there, being read, being gifted, shared, appreciated. More success in 2008, I say! Cheers!
Have been busy in the past few months but your name often pops up when Robert and I email each other!
mayakirana, thanks for your well wishes. Honk has just gone into 7th printing making it 13,000 copies. It’s great to see you playing a role in Robert’s new publications. Happy new year and may your business grow strong.
