I was still in bed and my home phone rang, woke up to answer and some courier company people said they got something to send over to my place. I thought what was that so important and it turned out to be a Platinum Credit Card by Standard Chartered.

How can that be?!? I’m not even qualified for a silver card don’t even say a platinum card! It was quite funny in way.

Never in my dream that I can even get a platinum card, never seen a real one or touch one before and now it’s right in front of me. They provide me with 2-year annual fee waiver and only RM6k credit limit. *LOL* Very funny. I don’t think I heard of such low credit limit for a platinum card.

The colour is nice and the word “Platinum” gives the card the classy appeal ;p.

I checked the bank’s site and found out that you must have at least an income of RM60,000 p.a. to qualified for it but I don’t even have that!

I don’t need those! *LOL* What the hell do I need those for?!?

It seems like banks nowadays are getting desperate. Everyone canceling their credit cards because the government is charging each primary card for RM50.

The banks are hoping that some people will start using those free cards sent to them as if they are getting free money to spend. Then later these people will not be able to pay the debts. There are many people like this but I’m not going to fall into the stupid trap.

What am I going to do with it? I’m not going to activate it and just let it terminate on its own after February as I’m given until the end of February to activate it.

Anyway, at least I finally got to see a real Platinum card and what’s more?!?! With my name printed on it! *LOL* I know some of my friends have been trying hard to get one but couldn’t even get one yet I get one without even doing anything. ;p

As promised, I’m going to feature the winning entries of Win a Pair of Gingerbread Men Contest that I conducted.

This one is by John. I’m pretty sure you enjoyed your Christmas. Thanks for participating.

Christmas is a very special time of the year. I would be sitting down at the dining table surrounded by my loved ones and my close friends. There would be aromatic smell of freshly cooked food, desserts and Christmas pudding on the table and every dishes that are placed on the table would draw the ooooo aaahhh from every single person gathered. I love to see the smile on their faces and the ringing laughter of joy as jokes and funny tales are told over the table.

The Christmas tree standing tall and majestic with the colorful lights winking at us from the living room and the soft Christmas songs playing in the background makes the whole atmosphere pure bliss. The decorated and colorful mystery boxes placed underneath the tree makes everybody excited as they wonder about the contents of it. This is the time of the year where all gather to hug each other, wishes each other well, forgive all the wrong doings done all throughout the year, make peace with each other and exchange gifts and blessings and this is what I do every year.

The Magic of Christmas touches the heart of every person all around the world.

Here’s the another entry from the winner of Win a Pair of Gingerbread Men Contest. Christina shared her story that is really very touching. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Christina, thanks for sharing. Hopefully the Christmas this year also brouhgt you happiness.

“My best Christmas Celebration was definitely last Christmas. After my divorce in 2003, my son and I) are always apart during Christmas. The reason being he will spend his school holidays with his dad and this goes continue right through after Christmas. I used to remember spending Christmas alone at home. It was sad being away from someone you love so much and someone who has been with you since birth.

Last year was definitely different. We had our Christmas in Hong Kong last year through the courtesy of my sis. My mum went along too. Though we reached there much too early for Christmas (from 12-16 December) we had a ball. My sis and her hubby organized a pre-Christmas dinner at her apartment overlooking the Hong Kong City. The atmosphere of Christmas in Hong Kong is beyond words. Even when you are not in the mood, you automatically sink into that festive season.

On a cherry note, spending that particular Christmas with my son, my mum and my sis plus hubby was spectacular and heart-warming. We had so much fun decorating the trees and preparing the food. Not so much of the shopping but the fact that from 2003 right up to 2007, 2008 was the only year I have so far to spend Christmas with my son. It truly meant a lot. I didn’t even dare to ask for my Christmas wish from Santa knowing that it ware mere impossible but then God works in His mysterious ways.

Truly from the bottom of my heart, the best Christmas of all. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
