You may have read on a blog or Twitter or Facebook or even received an email or text message from me that my blog, LingerieXpert, has been selected as one of the seven finalists in a Pepperjam Network Store Builder Contest.

Please lend me a helping hand by voting for my blog on this voting page and pass this request on to your friends so that I could win. Voting ends at 5pm EST on 15th December, 2008 (6am on 16th December, 2008 Malaysian time) so there isn’t much time left.

If I win, I will hold a blog competition here. Would you be my Santa Claus so that I could be yours?

I went to Ipoh Parade last evening and it was absolutely crowded. Luckily I did not reach that any earlier as there was a Tae-Kwando competition. Although by the time I reached the concourse area, it was already over, there were still plenty of people mingle around. I actually took the above photo a few days ago. I wouldn’t be able to even see it last evening as they set up the stage for the Tae-Kwando competition and totally blocked out this beautiful stage decoration.

Coincidentally, there was a Santa Claus walkabout. Poor guy, I remember that Santa Clauses here seem to receive very poor reception from the children. He had to give out sweets and candies to even teenagers. LOL Also, I would like to point out to the management that this Santa Claus costume and the ones that I saw in previous Christmases at Ipoh Parade don’t seem fresh.

Well, Santa Claus posed for me but it was always the wrong timing; he only put up the peace sign after I pressed the shoot button. I wanted to ask him if he would be dancing this year but I didn’t. He probably wouldn’t even know what I am taking about.

Ipoh Parade also erected this huge Christmas tree. It’s nothing special but it seems like the taller the tree, the bigger the attraction.
