my ambivalent attitude

Tuesday, June 27, 2006

I thought it silly of me to have pinned so much unrealistic hope on winning a pair of $128 JJ Concert tickets from the smattering of contests I enthusiastically participated in just 1 month ago, and how embarrassing was the demeanour that ensued - there were times when I tried to cajole my bunkmates into eating Long John Silver's during night-outs and then imploring them to upsize their meals, all to satisfy my thirst for the minute piece of lucky draw coupon that represented a chance at grabbing hold of a pair of tickets, however slim it was. But I never believed in my luck, so much so that I impulsively purchased a ticket by myself long before the lucky draw was held. True enough, I wasn't fated to win the tixs, but the fanatic auntie-ish mannerisms so closely knitted to my lifestyle were unexpectedly reciprocated, because I actually won something, and this consolation prize doesn't really pale in comparison with the tix, albeit the money values are poles apart. At least my efforts paid off with the receipt of an autographed Cao Cao CD Box Set and Poster!
