last week i got a text from BiGwan himself, asking if i'm free on (last) saturday as they will be a prize presentation for the photo competition?
I replied asking, Why? am i in the running? Will there be a prize of me or just a shout out saying i joined or worse, make up the numbers for the day?
I was hinted, "of course got prize lah"
So after giving much thoughts, whether to just send him a taping of my winning speech, or send my PA to accept on my behalf, or simply decline with a basket of fruits, i decided nah!...why not? how often do i get an award, huh and maybe end up in the paper.
So took an hour off work on saturday to attend the prize giving ceremony in tourism board. It was a very informal set up.
Actually it's in their board room.
Actually, they did not even do any banner or set up or jazzed up the place. there are even missing ceiling tiles? (i got pics but in my other camera)
Actually most of the staffs were not even dressed or bother to look smart as they were all (most) in their exercise gear cos every saturdays = exercise days.
Like i said, informal loh. But but but like all ceremonies, the food were aplenty lah.
I was introduced to the BiG team, and saw the other winners seated with whoever they came with and i was there all by myself. where are my supporters? huh... where? i did ask a few of the bidarlahs, they said they rather zzz. hmm...
So once the Acting Director from Tourism Department entered the room, a quick intro was given and my name was called. I won a merit prize for my submission. ok ok! i compared mine to the others, mine look amateur-ish ok...i admit. But I got say THANK YOU to BiG for choosing mine out of all the hundreds, thousands submissions u received. click here for the other winners.
What did i get?
hei, only merit award lah...so i got this:
a goodie paper bag containing

a cap, a dvd somemore about brunei i think,

a card holder- useful

and a meal voucher for 2.
and and my winning picture will be in the coming issue. wahsei. :)
