I came across this contest by chance and I joined it one day before the closing date.To my suprise,my name came out to be the winner for this giveaway contest. This is my firs time join giveaway contest through blog and I won it!!
The Second good news was 'win Maggi Gawai contest'(for East malaysia).I joined this contest using my husband's name because it is only for Malaysian and I myself is not a Malaysian. This is our second time win this contest for consolation prize. Last year we got RM250 for consolation and this year we got RM100 for consolation.Although is a small amount,but we felt happy!
The third good news was "I got 2 Star Letters from Drypers Wee Wee" and I received free diapers and some mystery gifts from Drypers company.This was my third times getting free diapers from Drypers company and It has save my money for the past few months,no need to spent money on my son's diapers.
Lately, I joined another Maggi cooking contest by sending out recipe using Maggi instant noodle as one of the ingredients in my recipe. The prize is quite good and I really hope I can win something from that contest.
Drop me a note...Thank you!!

Hi Cwong,
Like what James's said, never give up !! at least you have tried to join the contest and the chance is there for you.
For me, I just join any contest that I am interested,Whether I win or not is another issue for me. Of course, I am always looking forward for the good news to come.
Hi James,
So far, what other big prizes you have won apart from the Hongkong trip?
Mind to share with me....Sorry for being so curious and wanted to know more.
I just do blog hopping and saw some blog contests are going on..might consider to join some of it.
Wish me good luck!

Congratulations! You are really lucky to win so many prizes. 
Well, I don't remember if I have won any prizes from the contests before, simply because I seldom took part in those contests. I always think I do not have the luck to win any contests, I seldom get any prizes from those lucky draws too. Perhaps I should try those contests from the blog, at least it doesn't spend me much time to participate, isn't it? I should keep trying, then perhaps one day I'll get something?

Hi Kaka,
Never give up,sure one day you will win something for your effort.
It is also a matter of luck and your hardwork.
For me, I will just try on any contests that I have an interest.I don't bother whether I will win or not,As long as, I did try,I still have the chance.
And always pray hard to win something after joining the contests.
Good luck!

Hello shia,
You are a very lucky lady, you won so many contest lately! Congratulations to you!
For me, I did win some contest 15 years back. That was the time I was a school student. I joined a contest in a local magazine, too long time ago and now I can't recall the name for the magazine. It was sold RM2 and there are many thing to read in it. There was a very attractive contest there and I just need to fill in the particulars and answer a very very simple question. No slogan required. I hate to participate contest with slogans. And I won a couple of time for this contest as it ran every week. Of course I joined the contest using all my family members' name. What I get was a RM50 Replay voucher. I redeem the voucher at Replay boutique at Star Hill, Kuala Lumpur.
It is a branded and all the things sold are not cheap. I bought something around RM50 so I didn't get to pay extra cash money. Guess what, RM50 can only buy a under wear ( pantie ) LOl.
After I started blogging, I have join several contest but sad to say I didn't win a single contest.

He shia,
I have check out your blog and I did see you have join a few contest! Wish you good luck my friend!
For me I am too lazy to take part in the contest! I also have a lot of my personal post pending , !
But last week I did go to Mid Valley take part in the Mead Johnson Children Day contest. HAve you receive any sms from Mead Johnson?
For those who purchase mead johnson product in RM150 and above, you will get a free Oxford dictionary for kids. On top of that, you can get to take a photo and stand a chance to win one grand prize of a tour to Hong Kong Disneyland. The theme of the photo contest is heartwarming moment.
But my boy was not in mood while taking the photo. So end up we get a not so nice photo, so I don't think we can win...
Any where it is a good time we had there and there is a simple activity running and my boy was happy to play with the balloon and we get a goodie bag too.

I won some contests before. The best was a free trip to Hong Kong for the whole family fully sponsored by Hong Kong Tourism. My family and I even appeared in 8 TV
programmes in the Treasure Hunt.Three families were short-listed and we emerged
champions to represent Malaysia in Hong Kong. We completed against families from
Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and India. We were the only country to
win two prizes. God is with us. All the best to you.

HI James,
Wouh...that is a big prize that you won for your family.
Just wondering what contest do you join that time? How long is it?
So far, I never win any big prizes before.
Really pray hard that one day I can win a big prize for myself and my family.

It was in 8TV. We sms and wrote slogan and was called up for interview to compete against two other families and we won the right to represent Malaysia in treasure hunt in Hong Kong.
Together with the 8TV team ( Stephanie Chai was the host) we left for Hong Kong. Everything was paid By Hong Kong Tourism including 5-star hotels, food, taxi fares. We were treat like VIP
where we have special entrance to the tourist spots. This is God's blessings.

Hi there,
Before anything else, congratulations. You are truly lucky. I also had some lucky streaks lately. Normally, I don't believe in sweepstakes draws. But, since I answer surveys, I am entered automatically in sweepstakes draws. I never believed I could win in any but guess what? last week I got an email saying that I won $100 in the sweeps draw for a project I did with them in August and could I please confirm my acceptance (this is a check). I was really excited. But before this, I won $50 in GC from an online community forum in May, $10 2x(again GCs) in a survey site in July, $100 and $ 30 (GCs)from another online forum in June and July. In fact, this is already my 6th win. I hope we continue to picked as lucky winners. Now, if I could only win that car from the Ipsos-I Say VIP draw...hmmm..

well congratulations to you shia, I think you are winning not because of luck alone but also because you've got some skills with you, that is your a good cook, good for you, I only won one time and that is on a raffle on one of the trackdays I participated, I won a cellphone and the feeling was really great, the first and only time that I won something.

Hi Dekada,
Congratulation to you...not bad at least you won something that is quite useful.
I can imagine how happy you are at that point of time. So far, I never win any big prize before. Really hope can win some big prizes in future.
That is a matter of luck actually. When your lucky star is shining brightly, then you will always have good luck in whatever things you have done.

That is so cool I have been trying to win a lot of contests lately as well. Now a few months ago I was doing this instant win contest and I won a gift card from a gas station for 25$! I was like WOW they mailed it to me and I sold it but it was great! I was so happy all I did was sign up and few times and play this online game. I think more people should find contests online but they think to themselfs I'll never win but hey you can! Take care and happy mylotting to you as well.

Hello,
This was soooo long ago, I had won a art contect that my elementary art teacher was giving, I can't remeber what it was that I drawed, but I beleive it was a safari or garden of some sort, the contest winner recived $25.00, at that time for a yound kid like me, you scould'nt tell me that it was'nt 25,000 that I had won, to be honest I never won ant contest since, I guess it's because I never enter any contest anymore. Happy My Lotting!

Cooking contest and free diapers, LOL! so interesting and funny!
This remind me of my happy memory. I won the contest by writing a few articles in a famous internet community. I am one of the five winners! I got a beautiful backpack from the sponsor. So encouraging when I saw my name in the list of winners!
I like singing, I got some sounvenirs from time to time in school's singing competition.
Thanks to share with us your happy moment!

Once a won a gold ring and that was the happiest day of my life. But here I am not getting any sources to win something. I thought internet would be a good place for winning chances but after using it for a year, I come to the decision that most of the sites are scam and do not give you anything.

I think you have mida's touch. Whatever you touch will become gold. You participate and you get a prize. For me I joined saree chit and my name came in the fourth month and got the saree without paying for the rest of the months. Joined jewellery chit and got two months before. Otherwise except prizes in school, college and office competitions, I did not win any contest as such.

Hi there Shia and congratulations on all of your winnings. I don't think that I have ever known anyone to win so many things, especially right in a row like that. You must be the lucky one.
I did win $100 on the internet. But it has been a few years ago now, four years I think. I won it from one of the survey companies that I belong to. They only send out a survey once every couple of months it seems. So I was really surprised when I won. It does make you feel like such a lucky duckling when you win such a prize.
I also won a hat and a couple of t-shirts online. But nothing really significant. However, I do still wear the one t-shirt that I won on a regular basis, and it has been quite a while since I received it. It's one of my favorite every day shirts to wear under something else.
Congratulations to you! I hope you keep on winning....and I hope that I will win something in the near future as well. I have been entering quite a few contests lately, so I am certainly due!
Oh, by the way, I was curious to know if you often enter a lot of contests. Or is it just now and again.
