To the left, to the left...

On Sunday night I registered on a radio station website to win 2 tickets to this concert that has Guy Sebastian and Damien Leith in it in Sydney (to be honest, I couldnt really give a hoot about the other singers who are going to be there, young divas, callea, Shannon Noll, etc) and it would be an all expenses paid trip to Sydney including, flights, meals and accomodation at Star City in Darling Harbour (and btw, I LOVE Star City, it's the coolest place! Almost as cool as Crown Casino) ...

And so imagine my surprise when FoxFM called me on Monday morning telling me that I'd won 3 cds just for registering and put me in the running to win the major prize. So every hour they called one person to put them in the running and around about 3pm on Monday afternoon they were going to pick who got to go to Sydney. I thought it was a bit funny cos I was just thinking when I registered, why bother, I've never won anything in my life... lol. And so I was pretty stoked to just win the cds -- (Evanescence, Jamiroquai and some compilation album) the DJ told me that promotions team would call me later in the afternoon to get my details to send the cds...

So around about 4pm my phone rang again and I answered it, for a moment I thought, "omg have I won?!" but the man on the end sounded really bored (too bored to be on air) and said he was from FOXfm, and asked how my day had been and what I'd been up to -- then asked if I was having a decent day, and I said "yeah it's been okay." or something like that, and he said; "Well it's about to get better cos you've just won the trip to Sydney!!!!!!!!!!"

It was really exciting because I was already really happy about the cds, but winning a full trip to Sydney!??? Mann!!! How amazing. I know I go to Sydney all the time, and in fact, I am going in like 2 weeks time -- but that's not the point! This is free, and it's at a swanky hotel and I get to have an expensive breakfast, to see an awesome show and all of that -- and I get to take a friend.

Well... choosing the friend part was way too hard. I have heaps of really close friends who are fans of Guy, and so I'm taking my Mum. Fox FM called today to get my details and stuff, and so now it's all confirmed. I'm going to Sydney in late January for this awesome free trip.

:P
