I won, I won

I won a prize. I actually won a prize.

It all started like this.

A guy called me while I was driving home from work and congratulate me on some gift that I won. I wasn't sure if it is a prank or some thing along those lines so I just said, "Ummm?". Then the man described how I won. I was picked when I placed my business card in a bowl (I did that lots) at one of the functions I attended (I attended lots). So when his company pulled out 10 winners, I was one of them, to a 3 days, 2 nights stay at this fancy 5-Star hotel at a neighbouring country and all the perks to go with it! He also said that the 10 married couple would need to claim the prize and state which date would they like to go.

"Married couple?" I asked to confirm.

"Yes....are you married by the way?"

"Well...not yet".

"Oh sorry to say that you'll have to be excused out of the prize. I didn't mean to burst your bubble. I thought that you are already married."

Sigh. I then have to concede that fact and gave up my trip to somewhere to someone else. Sigh. I could use a vacation. I really could. Oh well, life goes on.
