Searching for the look of happiness
AS they were on the way to Menara Star from Johor for The Most Beautiful Valentine’s Smile contest prize presentation ceremony, grand prize winner Mak Mi Leng’s seven-year-old son Clarence Low, who was featured in the winning photo with a missing front tooth, lost another tooth.
“I photographed him during Chinese New Year as he was missing a front tooth at that time. I did not expect to win as I was just clicking away and only sent in one entry.
“I thought there would be professional photographers taking part and they would have stood a better chance.
Here you go: Loi (left) presenting the hamper to grand prize winner Mak and her son Clarence Low as Kan looks on.
“Now, Clarence will be expecting some toys from me,” the 42-year-old marketing executive said.
She won a total of RM12,500 in cash and prizes, including RM5,000 cash, Sasa Voucher worth RM5,000, and a hamper worth RM2,500.
The contest was organised for the second time by The Star, The Star Online and mStar Online, and sponsored by Hong Kong Sa Sa (M) Sdn Bhd. The ceremony was held at the Cybertorium in Menara Star.
“We chose the theme because we want our customers and The Star readers to be happy. We feel that if you smile, your loved ones will also be happy and you will look your best,” Sa Sa senior vice-president Corina Loi said.
Star Publications (M) Bhd advertising and business promotions general manager Calvin Kan, who was one of the judges, said that the winners were chosen from over 1,000 entries as they captured the essence of happiness.
“The quality was better this time. While in some contests, you would only see a certain age group participating, we had a diverse age range this time around,” he said.
The 1st, 2nd and third prize winners took home cash, Sa Sa vouchers, and hampers while 16 consolation prize winners took home hampers worth RM300 each.
For second prize winner Caine Browne Chan, 23, the win was a post-Valentine present for his girlfriend of seven years.
“I took many photos of my girlfriend but I could not decide which to choose.
“It was she who suggested that I make a collage of all the photos taken and I placed a picture of both of us in the centre,” he said, adding that, to him, his girlfriend has the most beautiful smile. - OH REALLY? I THOUGHT YOU SAID JESSICA ALBA'S SMILE IS BETTER THAN MINE. LOL.
Wait actually we still haven't gotten the cash and vouchers at all, only presented with hamper on that day.. I wonder how long we need to wait just to get hold of those prizes? Hmm, publish in newspaper first to get readership however the most important prize is still kept us waiting. I want to buy stuffs from Sasa =( Eyeing my Kate, Majolica, Laneige and Sheseido stuffs which I hardly will buy if I don't have those vouchers because they're kinda pricy. WHEN WHEN ??!!
Anyway, tomorrow is the day .. Sunway Medical I go ..
I am so tired. Sleepy.
I miss the cozy winter night. I miss bathing in super hot water when the weather is only 5C. I miss wearing trench coat. Also, my lovely boots are collecting dust. I wonder if we can have 4 season here. Imagine high school girls wearing long knee socks? Winter when we can have snow? I wish we have sky filled with million of stars at night, just how I looked up the sky in Aussie.
