Interesting challenges and I.T. Fairs
Posted on November 20, 2009 - Filed Under Singapore |
Singapore is very small. Perhaps, smaller than Lanao del Norte? During my first few weeks here, I thought that “malling” is all people could do on weekends. If one has the finances, then he might want to board a ferry to Indonesia, or take a bus to Malaysia.
But ever since I’ve started tuning on to FM radio stations, I’ve become aware of exciting events here. Last month month, they had the MediaCorp Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge 2009. The contest was pretty straightforward: the participant should place their palms firmly onto the Subaru cars. The last man or woman standing won the brand new Subaru Impreza worth S$81,000. Another interesting challenge started on November 19, Thursday night. It’s called the Nescafe Frappe’s “100 Hours Chill on Movie Indulgence”. Participants will just have to stay up for 100 hours, with 5-minute break per movie and 15-minute break per 3 movies, to get a chance to win S$10,000 and a trip for 2 to Hollywood!
I don’t have time to try my luck in challenges such as these, but I guess I have to see what this IT fair is all about. There’s another one on November 26-29. I won’t be grabbing an XBox or any gadget for that matter. I just have to experience being in an event like this. After all, it’s the third IT fair since I came here. I just want to see for my self how good the deals really are.
