Am I lucky?

Yeah, I was superb-excited at the point of time... it last for like about 30minutes to an hour.

But, about lucky... hhmmm... It was kind of determination to get some thing done that's all.

It all begins when I was flipping thru the magazine I bought from Borders and came across Capital FM. Since it's advertised saying this radio station is "all women"; which woman is not captivated to tune-in? So, that's what exactly I did. Of course, Napoleon Hill the Musical happened to be the discussed topic on the same evening I first tuned-in and their invited guest was on air. Now, I can't remember who exactly was it and of course, the same evening, they had the free tickets for grab; just have to be the 8th-caller thru.


Early following morning, I gave a call to Sister to check if Captial FM is under Astro. Was so delighted to hear when she said, 'no'. Yiippeee..

Once arrived office, I googgled-up the musical as I was trying to also find out their tickets for sale online and was in a skype conversation with Jaime asking if she is interested. She told me she isn't so I didn't pursue to find out about the ticket or the seating layout after.

But, the very same evening as I was driving home, the DJ; Xandria were saying that there is free tickets to give out worth Rm128 each and she was so quick to read out the phone number to call, I only managed to hear the first 4 numbers! So, yeah... failed the first evening. I told myself, "Gonna try it tomorrow!"

Following day, I was working late till 7pm... once I got into my car, the radio was already tuned-to Capital FM. Then, the DJ Xandria started talking about the free tickets again and after one song, she read out the phone number and this time I got it! Once, the quee-to-call was announced on air, I immediately hit "call" and guess what? I was the FIRST caller thru... kekeke... She asked me to call again to try. So, I did but no one seems to pick up and I tried for another time. Then, after about 15 minutes, the lucky caller already was on air. So, I knew... that's the reason why no one picked up my call earlier.

Somehow, the voices in my head kept urging me to call again today! So, I reached home before 7pm and quickly setup the hi-five to tune to Capital FM and being kiasu, I standby two handphones of mine on the coffee-table and waited while having my dinner.

Once I heard the quee-to-call, I counted till 8 than I pressed "call" on my mobile. Stunned for a second when Xandria congratulated me being the 8th caller. So, her next sentence was, "After this, sound excited and will re-record again that you called in, ok?" and I was like, "ohh..ok..." and I was like crazy for moments and trying to sound really (5x) excited. And I was also nervous that I'll be put on air so I think I like "eat up some of my letters"... *gkrabba-nya*

Xandria's voice was really soft when she talked during the recording and I actually struggled trying to answers all her questions. After the recording done, she asked me to hold-on for DJ Liang so that he can take all my particulars. When Liang came online, I was chit-chatting with him about his date with Alicia on-air at 6pm earlier and he was really a nice-chap to speak to.

After I hanged up the phone, I came back into the living hall and asked Mom if she heard me on the radio and she said, "No, didn't notice... don't think so anyone speak, just music." and I was like, "Good... Maybe, I can get to hear my own voice on radio after a few minutes." and I waited in front of the hi-five patiently. And so I did, I heard myself on the radio together with my Mom and Bro. My Mom commented with chuckles and grins, "Don't sounds like you" and deep inside me, I think my Mom was also as excited as me at that very moment.

Dad missed the part of me on the radio because he was in a shower but when he came out, he said, "Aiyah, no big deal... I was on radio before... interviewed by the DJs... etc..." OK, I got it... so what if my Dad is not excited for me? Be it.

First person I called, Jaime Teh! That was before I knew Capital FM gave a fixed date Matinee Show that cost only RM88 per ticket. Jaime said no one to babysit Izzy at night and hubby will be working for the weekend. So, when I was told is the 3pm Matinee Show, I called her again to check if she wanna go with me, she said she will check with babysitter. Minutes later, she smsed saying she is not keen on the musical.

Second person I called, Yen Lin. She loved to go but she had to work on Sunday...

Third person I called, Fazly. Despite I know he is not a fan of the musical but I always enjoy his company eventhough he can't sit still in the last musical we went together and even wanted to leave early. But, I still sms him and asked he wanna go along. Thumb down, he has his salsa class to attend on the same day and time.

What happened to my excitement of wining free tickets on a radio station and wanting to actually go for a Musical?? An excitement turned to stress... sigh... Don't think I can sleep much tonight knowing that I still do not know who to call to go with me... sigh... It isn't lucky! It's stressful!
