Now I feel really bad for complaining about the Amazing Vista Walk Hunt for not providing better Hunt Kit in my previous post.
Why? Because today I received not only extra Microsoft Vista freebies (pen, notepads, paper clips, etc) but also a new HP Desktop PC preloaded with Window Vista for winning the 1st prize in the Windows Movie Maker contest.
I did not save up the 90 sec clip I submitted last night though. My clip is about Visit Malaysia Year 2007 with a little bit sense of humour by using the limited number of photos available in the PC available at the foyer of Low Yat Plaza.
When the Microsoft people called me on my mobile asking me to come over to the stage @ about 5 p.m. today, I was in PJ. Luckily my friends were there to be my representative.
Thank you to my friends (Shuh Yong, Chia Chia, Sok Ei, Jess and Dr Ho), Bro and Sis for taking part with me in the hunt. And especially thank you to my good friend Shuh Yong for noticing the contest and persuaded me to join. Shuh Yong, Jess and Chia Chia also helped me to pick up my prizes today. Love you guys! Congratulations to Dr Ho for winning the 3rd place in the Windows Movie Maker contest as well! Let's celebrate this week!
In the end, special thanks to Microsoft and HP for the prizes! Coincidentally, I'll be collecting the desktop PC on my birthday.

Congrats on your big win!!! n here's wishing u a super Happy B'day in advance. Feel kinda bad for taking a big swipe at them eh? Hmm...Curious to know, from the pix, it looks like its a Natsys PC although the envelope has the HP logo (haha!! getting good at identifying logos now ;p). Wow! and its actually preloaded with Vista? U r so lucky!! Oh, make sure the warranty card is included and it has the Microsoft genuine software label/sticker too ya to certify that the loaded softwares are legal. It'll be such an embarrassment if they didn't have it. Just sharing some unpleasant experiences to deal with in the past..some years back, won an Acer PC in a competition but was given an old engineering test unit!! Shame on them!! They blamed it on a poor guy at the warehouse for switching it... finally they gave a brand new latest spec PC for fear of negative press publicity... Cheers!! ks
Thank you. Actually I'm not getting a Primo PC but instead I'll be getting a HP Pavilion model which is stated in the letter. The flyer came along with the freebies so I just capture the photo of the whole thing. I did not show the content of the letter though because you know..for security purpose. I'm not sure if I can trust the Microsoft people about the Vista preloaded thingy but that's what my friend told me when she collected the letter on my behalf. I guess I'll just wait until 28th Feb to know if the prize is authentic.
What a shame for giving out those so called prizes, eh?!
