Last Tuesday, while having lunch at 10:00 AM (the name of the restaurant ok, I’m not having lunch at PUKUL 10), i received an sms that says:
“CONGRATULATIONS! U hv won 3D/2N getaway to Equatorial Cameron Highland. To redeem, pls sign up to www.mybsn.com.my NOW! Call 0326888400 for info.”
At that time, since I was busy chatting and eating with my geng bas sekolah, I didn’t pay much attention to the SMS. Lagipun, I’ve had similar smses in the past and ALL of them were hoaxes.
After lunch, back at the office, I got a little curious so I re-read the sms. I noticed that it was sent from BSN’s sms number – u know, the same one that sent out TAC numbers when you want to do online transaction – so i got curiouser 😀 and i googled the exact sms. My google search returned only one hit, a recent entry by a blogger – in fact, the entry was only posted about an hour before. He claimed he has already contacted BSN and confirmed that the SMS is true!
Bah, me apa lagi.. I tried contacting BSN by phone, but couldn’t get through. I logged in to mybsn, there was nothing there. By then, I was already contemplating, to email or not to email. Sapa yg tidak mau 3D/2N getaway kan? Bah, so i sent out an email la enquiring about the sms kunu… I waited and waited and waited….

and waited some more, but no, there was no reply. So I thought, well, maybe I’m not the lucky one after all and decided to just forget about it.
Ermm… that concludes the story about the missed opportunity, right?
NO!!!!
Well, at 1st I thought that was it, that was the end of the 3D/2N story. So I went cuti-cuti-Malaysia – ing with my family to Kundasang and the 3D/2N sms never crossed my mind. Came back from Kundasang on Saturday evening and although we have internet connection by then, I still couldn’t go online since I need to do housework – bah, no helper nowadays kan, the weekends are the only time to do all the cleanings, washings and stuffs.
Then today, when I checked my email, I saw this in my mailbox :
