Keep the entries coming!
You dont have to worry....judging will be done fairly, so dont feel threatened No one is taking anything away from you
We know. Joining in the fun also can whet ...that's what contest is all about. Fun to see so many postings. Don't feel threatened...just keep on posting!
Winners? Just wondering when and where the winners will be announced? No pressure! Just curious. I looked around but couldn't find anything and thought maybe I'm missing something.
Hehe.. The team is having a hard time deciding on some of the contests. And well, I've been busy down in KL. Just got back. Will get right down to the decisions ASAP. But my fallback plan is always to award it to myself.
HARD time, I think the team has hard time deciding how they can try to keep these precious prizes to themselves. Maybe they all runaway with the prizes, is that why you are going to Macau, Adrian, seems like timing is just impecable
Actually, I have no idea about the plan until someone mentioned it. I wasn't expecting Adrian to have such evil plan before I passed it to him!
aha, so Adrian is running away. You know those prizes can get him a ticket to Macau and all the gambling money he needs. Quick someone stop him.
