Say ‘Good night!’ and Go

Exactly a month ago, I submitted an entry to the Gh0st R1der contest. This was after Mum brought the paper to me to check out. There would be two winners for the Grand Prize (Timex watch worth RM509), three winners for 1st (Gh0st R1der T-Shirt worth RM200), three winners for 2nd (Gh0st R1der metal key-chain worth RM120), three winners for 3rd (GR silver note book worth RM80), three winners for 4th (GR Collar Pin worth RM80), three winners for 5th (GR Bandanna worth RM60) and finally, thirty winners for Consolation (US version GR Poster).

I figured that with so many prizes to be given away, I’d have a chance at getting the Poster. Earlier tonight, I decided to check the copies of the previous Sundays’ ‘Cars, Bikes, Trucks’. Mum had already tied up the stack of old newspapers under Dad’s writing desk, and usually…I wouldn’t have bothered checking because she usually warns me about messing up her neatly-tied stack. Something spurred me on though. So I carefully untied the knot holding the papers together and proceeded to look for the Sunday editions. The first copy didn’t have anything. The second copy, dated March 18th had something about it. The first thing I noticed was that they misspelled my name. They omitted the R in my first name. Ugh. I’m SURE I wrote it clearly! Oh yes…what prize did I win? My name was first on the list for 2nd! I got the overvalued metal key-chain! Yaay for me! Before the list of names, there was mention that a representative from Buena Vista Columbia Tristar Films would get in touch with the winners. It’s been a week…Have I missed the call?
