Late bird catches the worm at property fair contest
GEORGE TOWN: It is better late than never for 38-year-old Danny Lim, as he managed to walk home with an Acer Iconia Tab computer tablet after almost missing out on the ?Surf, Click and Win? contest.
The managing director of the Capital Wealth Management admitted that he almost forgot about the lucky draw contest, as he was enjoying dinner with his friends.
?Fortunately another friend called and reminded me about the draw and I managed to take home this gadget,? he said.
?I tried to win the contest on Thursday but I was not lucky enough to earn the special draw cube.
?However, for the second time around, Lady Luck smiled on me,? he added.
Semi-retired Neoh Teik Hock, 57, also went home happy after winning the Samsung Galaxy Tab device.
He said he would probably give the tablet to his wife as he did not fancy such technological gadgets.
?I prefer a much simpler device and do not really understand how to use the gadget,? he said.
?I had participated in events like Penang Starwalk but did not win anything; so I am delighted to win something here,? he said.
The biggest winner of last night was Peter Lim Cheng Teik as he walked away with the Samsung 32-inch LCD TV.
Peter said that the arrival of the new TV could not have come at a better time as he had thought about getting a new one soon.
?By winning this new TV, I can now save up my money for other things,? he said.
The 31-year-old, who is an avid reader of The Star, said he was scouting for a few property to invest in.
Peter, Neoh and Danny were among the 10 lucky winners who qualified for the special draw of the ?Surf, Click & Win? contest.
