Before Internet Rules The World
Eight years ago before I had the so-called privileged of surfing net, I used to have lots of reading material with me – Reader’s Digest, Motherhood, Parenthood, various type of woman’s magazine, etc. To kill time, I love to cut up those little free sample coupon or discount coupon from the magazines and not forgetting, entering lots of contests.
One of the many contests that I was actively participate is the Parenthood magazine. Many a time, photographs of Eldest Princess was selected. The prizes I’ve won previously consist of the usual kids stuff for example Johnson & Johnson and Pigeon hamper. Somehow, the frenzy just stop at no. 1. I can’t recalled things that happened at those time. How weird.
Four years ago, I started surfing the internet and was hooked on it. When no. 3 came along, I was too busy surfing that I’ve almost drown aka addicted la. I don’t even bother to flip any magazines at all. I have WHOLE lot of interesting stuff to read on the internet.
So sorry for the long winded post. I am trying to get to the point as soon as possible. Still working my way there. LOL. Now let’s talk about my next-door-sister. While she is expecting her first child, I pass over the old copies of Parenthood magazines to her. And thereafter, she has been buying the new edition every month. One day…. no. 3 came to me with a copy of the September edition. It takes a while for me to realized she is trying to get my attention on the magazine. She kept on pointing to a picture printed on the magazine but was wordless as how to relate it to me. She is still babbling while point to the picture! So I took a closer look at it and to my surprises……
(I am finally done with the bushes. phew)
I still couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her pic on the magazine!
Oh, it was nothing *blushing*
My Sis send in her photograph for a contest without my knowledge and she won a Fiffy hamper too.
It then reminds me eight years ago….. (scroll up and repeat reading the first paragraph)

Congrats! You girl is adorable!
I used to buy magazines like Cleo, Woman’s weekly, Marie Claire & etc and reluctant to throw away them as they keep piling up in our study room. Then, I decided to stop buying after finding out I could get to read the mags free from DOME while I dine in there… hehe 😛
Nevertheless, I wanted to cut out the free samples coupons & participate the contests but it never happens…simply too lazy to go to post office! haha 😛
