the winner announcement

Well I'm just lucky perhaps of having a great team mates with me, especially mommy Kimmy and mommy Fritzie. Actually it was mommy Fritzie who told me about this game. I invited almost all of my Facebook friends , since it's open to all countries if I'm not mistaken. Some of them won the Lucky draws for Bluetooth Headsets or if your lucky enough you'll win 1 unit of Samsung Wave phone. Luckily my brother won 1 too! He made an effort of inviting his friends too, so I guess he deserves it! =)
