I won RM1k from red fm!!!

June 9th 2010, 5.24pm is the most historical day in my life so far!!!

For the past 2 weeks while I was jobless, I tuned into 104.9FM and heard of this contest called "RM20k Facebook Frenzy". Since i'm a loyal fan of Red FM all these while, I thought "why not!!!". It's very easy to join. I just need to "Like" the Red FM (Malaysia) group in Facebook, tag their "I ♥ redfm" logo above and make it as my profile pic. Then I just need to say something nice about redfm in my status updates. How easy is that huh!!!

Well, I did just that, and instead of my pretty face on FB, I have the above "I ♥ redfm" photo. Everyday for 2 weeks, I would I logged into my Facebook and update my status without fail! Every 8am and 5pm, the DJs would announce the name of the winner they pick! Every time they announce it, that lucky person would win RM1,000!!! Since it's a RM20k contest, there will only be 20 person chosen from the whole members of the Red FM (Malaysia) group! The last time I checked, the group has got 12,700+++ members in it!!! So what's the odd of being the lucky 20 person among 12,700 people? Do the math!

Well, publicizing redfm so constantly and publicly in my FB status updates creates curiosity among all my friends in Facebook. Some of them asked if i'm working with redfm. Some asked how much redfm pay me to advertise for them? Some are kinda sarcastic too! At that time, I was thinking by myself "If i win the money... it will leave all of you speechless! Hahahaaha *evil grin *"

Every 8am.. I wake up despite not working, plug-in my handsfree to my handset so that I could hear the radio.. and again, JD & Dilly did not call my name. I was putting my hope higher every 5pm whenever Terry announce a name. I joined from the very first day.. So 1st winner... 2nd winner.. 3rd winner.. I never missed any of the announcement, keep tuning in wherever I go, in the car, at home, or thru my headset when I'm outside. 18th winner.. I still update my status. Secretly hoping that they would reward this loyal listener. 19th winner was announced on the very last day... 9th June 8.30am. Not me! Ah damn! That's it.. just not my luck!!!

All RM19,000 has been given out! Leaving RM1k.. again, WHAT'S THE ODD?!! So I gave up my hope, and do house chores instead.. figuring out "life goes on.. I didn't lose anything by joining that contest.. so wat-da-heck!". At 5.20pm.. Debbie came into my room, with my PC on, hearing redfm online (please note that online fm is slower that on-air). I was wiping my stuff, mopping the floor.. then Terry the DJ goes.. "I have a name here.. This person is the last winner of RM20k FB Frenzy!!! If that person doesn't call me back within 20 minutes.. will it snowball?! NO!! I will pick another name cause it will end today.. So whoever goes by the name Joyce Yap.. CALL ME BACK WITHIN 20 MINUTES!!!"

I thought I'd die at that moment!!! My hand was shaking so badly.. and I dropped all my stuff and cloth that was on my hand. Pick my handphone and search for "red" cause I saved it in my phonebook (just in case I won.. it will be handy.. tell me about keeping my hopes high!). And IT DID!!! I was shouting "Oh my God" repeated.. all the way till Terry picks up my call! He goes "helloooo...".. and the still very shocked me stupidly says "It's Joyce here!!!" as if like duh... I should go "Hello Terry" right!!! I sounded kinda stupid. Ah who doesn't for being RM1,000 richer!!!

I bet Debbie was laughing all the way when I was on the phone with Terry! Sis so coincidentally came to our house, and I just hugged her shouting "I won RM1k from red fm!!! She then called her son, daughter, and my bro Andy to hear the radio. Mum was putting her hands together saying "God bless you.. you better pray later".. Muahaaaa~

Guess now I can take the RM1k to show off to whoever sarcastically condemned me for supporting Red FM!!! Hahahaaha!

I never knew I'll bump into this kind of luck.. it's like.. I never won anything so far.. NOTHING AT ALL.. REALLY!!! So this is my first time.. and it's HUGE!!!

I really love red fm. This station will continue to be my favourite station ever!!!

Now look at what I've said about red fm before. I guess all these helps to win me the money!!! It's from earliest sequence (first day till the day I won)..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I will love you so.. Red FM!!!
