Some time last month, Cathay Pacific organized this “World of Winners” Ticket Offers campaign and released 7,000 free tickets to Malaysians. My friend, Elaine asked me to try my luck and register on their website on that particular day at 12pm sharp when the tickets were released. She told us that if we managed to get the tickets, we will visit Hong Kong together.
So on that day at 12pm sharp, I refreshed the website and it hung. I think hundreds of thousands people were trying their luck. I tried to refresh again and it has a notice saying I am visitor no. ??? and I need to wait approximately 20 mins to register. I refreshed again and immediately came to the registration page. I quickly fill in the information and answered a few questions about Cathay Pacific and submit. As soon as I did that, Cathay Pacific sent me an email to inform that they have received my registration and to wait for their announcement on 3 April.
Yesterday I saw the email from Cathay Pacific and ta-daa….I won a ticket to Hong Kong. I have never won anything this big before.
Although I have this free ticket, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I can only travel between May to 2 Jan 2024. Now I need to find someone to go with me and also plan when is the right time to visit Hong Kong. The last time we were there was about 10 years ago if I remember correctly.
