Contests- Are you happy with the end result/winner?

Recently, contests like; the cutest baby, best family photos and even the Johnson baby contest require public vote or your friends to vote online. At the end, the contestant who got the most votes win. 

Has this ever cross your mind whether the winner genuinely deserved to win at the end? I have recently participated in this online contest. I now realised you can actually exchange votes with others. Some even posted saying they can exchange up to 30 votes or person you don't even know voted for you and requested you to do the same. I was so naive that these votes are of genuine people who really support or like your entry. I was stubborn and did not voted back to any of these people who voted for me unless I find their entry is genuinely nice.

So, to stand a great chance of winning, even your submission is 'not up to standard', all you need to do is get all your friends/links to vote and exchange with others!!!!! This is unbelievable and unacceptable to me.

My cute baby and Career Bear Contest

I saw this advertisement during my normal weekend groceries shopping at Carefour. So, I thought maybe should just try my luck. They were having a photo shot session in Carefour.

Apart from buying the Sofy or MamyPoko products of RM 50.00, you actually will need to pay extra for the photo shot by De One Digital Photo Studio. Their package is RM 48.00 comprises of 2 x 4R photo and 1 x 8R photo (for contest). As usual they will try to convince you into buying more and more. My mind was focus, I decided no matter how they persuade me or how lovely the children look, I will spend no more than the RM48.00. 

Here are some of the shots :- .

Finger cross, even winning a hamper also is good enough  !! 

Yeah,  the Huggies Million Dollar contest must be over and nobody contacted me, so no chance for a million dollar then. Will try harder the next time!!
