Yes, this sleek and shiny Samsung R470 is mine! If I have superpower, I would’ve circled the earth ten times in glee. Thank you very much to Samsung who deems me worthy to win this cool laptop for my use. For years I have been wanting to own one and after entering several contests which promise laptops and coming away empty handed, now at last, this super-duper computer is mine to call my own. Now I don’t have to listen to the loud whirring of our desktop. The more browsers are open, the louder it complains. I won’t have this problem with the R470. Read the superb review in The Star today. I am looking forward to putting it to good use.
This win would not have been possible without the support of my readers who helped by giving their comments on my Imagi.nation blog entries. I promised a main prize of RM50 voucher + 1 copy of Stretching your dollar$ and $ense and two books as consolation prizes. As I have nabbed the prize of my desire, I want to thank all those commenters who have encouraged and supported my effort by giving them a prize each. Here are the winners who will each receive a copy of Stretching your dollar$ and $ense :
1. Elaine
2. Clareng
3. Synical
4. Shin
5. Ilene
6. Firethorn
7. Spearhead
8. WP
9. Foongpc
Drumroll to the main winner – picked by random draw :
CLARENG who will receive a RM50 cash voucher in addition to the book. (Please let me know whether you prefer Jusco, Tesco, Giant, MPH or Popular vouchers.)
And a special prize to this young lady who has been faithfully commenting on my blog though my postings have been sporadic and pathetic. She’s my no. 1 cheerleader at the moment :
ELAINE who will receive a Samsung foldable travel bag in addition to the book.
Congratulations to all winners. Please email your address to tehlydia@yahoo.com so I can mail you the prize. If you want to pick up your prize personally, I will be at the Bookfest this Saturday, 29 August 2009 for a book talk between 5.00 to 6.00 pm at the KLCC.
My apologies for this late announcement. I couldn’t do it any earlier as the Samsung prize-winning luncheon was only held last Saturday and I only got my R470 yesterday. A big thank you to Sue Tan and her team at Samsung for their hard work. Thanks a bunch, Samsung, for sponsoring the prizes. Besides my laptop, they gave away a home theatre system, a netbook, a DVD player and MP3s among others. (All top 20 bloggers get their pebble MP3.)
Thanks Lydia! I’ll arrange for my “delivery gal” to pick up from you sometime next month.
Guess what? I’ve already got a copy of your book! Haha thought it’ll be good to learn to save money efficiently given the current economic recession!
Ilene, sure. Abby’s coming home next month, is it.
shin, thanks! May I know which bookstore you bought it from, because I can’t find it in the shops I’ve been to. Please email me and I’ll give you another option.

Elaine, I’m really glad you like the book and the bag. Was worried you wouldn’t. I had wanted to include a letter with it but didn’t as I was so rushed for time when sending off the package. Next time, I’ll write you a nice note.
