Shameless Self-Whoring

Backstory: So there's this contest organized by Windows Live (I know, ironic, since I'm a Machead) and Golden Village called Movies on Spaces. People submit their blogs (on the Windows Live platform, but of course) each month, and the powers-that-be select 5 top bloggers and unleash them upon the voting public. The winner, as determined by number of votes, walks away with a 6-month VIP movie pass (for two) worth S$2000. That means he/she gets to watch all the movies that a human being can stomach at GV theatres for half a year, which is pretty damn sweet if you ask me. The runners-up get... well, crap in comparison - 10 movie passes worth S$90.

Why do I mention this? Well, this here blog by yours truly is among the top 5 for the month of February. They've only just listed the finalists for the month a few days ago, which makes the voting period especially short - you guys only have till the end of the month to vote. About a week or so away.

Voting is done via SMS (I know, sorry) and each vote costs 20 cents. But think of it this way, it's a pass for two, so try and think how many movies I saw with you in the past 6 months. Let's say each movie costs about S$9.00 on average. Do your math and you can see that's worth a substantial number of votes:

9.00 ÷ 0.20 = 45

Hence people who watch movies with me can, and should, vote at least 45 times each. Hey, if I win, you guys can call me up just to watch free movies - isn't that awesome?

And if I don't know you, or haven't seen a movie with you in 6 months, then I'm just flat-out begging you. Please. Pretty please, with a cherry on top.

So don't wait no more - pick up your phone and enter the following:

MOS{space}{NRIC}{space}{Gender}{space}1

(For example, MOS S8016473Z F 1)

and send it to 73300.

Vote now, and vote repeatedly. Of course I'll be voting as well, I'm that shameless. I want that damn pass, because I'm sick of paying for movies. On average, I watch about 150 movies a year, and that's a lotta dough. I'd enjoy saving half of it.

Muchos gracias.
