987FM Radio

Still no word on KT. I worry as each day goes by, my chances are lowered. I hope they do not print the name and picture of the winner unless it is me. I might not be able to contain my wrath if I meet whoever took my place on the streets.

The discussion topic for today is on 987FM radio. If you have been reading up on my past gianpeng exploits, most of my gians have been through, yes you guessed it, 987fm. The reason is simple. I like to listen to the station. Or sometimes I got no choice but to. Having been in the army for two years, the radio becomes your best companion. Working at NUS now nothing better to do, also listen 987fm. In the army, we have secret hip hop clubbing sessions when the maam is not looking. Or see who can dance the sexiest. During my army stint, I managed to qualify and subsequently fly to Japan for the Summersonic concert. I also wanted to take part in the Subaru challenge and called in to qualify. But considering the probability of winning the challenge, I backed out last minute.. Yes boo to me.. But the point I'm trying to stress is, my friend was serious about taking part, so I called in for him and guess what, I got through again and he went for the challenge! Although he almost cried and wanted to faint only after participating for eight hours and took MC the whole of next week leaving me to do all the sai kang, I'm still glad he took part. What this episode teaches us, is that being gian peng can help you fulfil your dreams. How else can you get free stuff or take part in these competitions, unless you first put yourself in a position available to join?

987fm is in my opinion, the most lucrative station and should be the offical radio wave for all gianees. Not only does it play good music, many advertisers offering good gianisities look to 987 for publicity. So gianpenggers can automatically reap these rewards simply by tuning in! Gians range from basic CD hampers cum posters, concert tickets, meet and greets to all expenses paid trips. Think I've won some Gwen Steffani ugly jacket before. So much for her LAMB collections. More like LAN, or LAME.

The next point that i want to discuss is more indepth. It takes years of experience as a master gianee to achieve. And also simple common sense. These are mediums on ways to take part in gians you hear on the radio. Points to be discussed are the different gianisities and level of entry.

1) Via call-in. By far my favourite method to take part in gians. It does not cost you anything to take part. More so if you are using the office or company phone. The most common gians through call ins from 987 radio are basic CD hampers where you might have to answer questions or play simple games. I love this medium the most as all you have to do, is keep redialling, until you get through. The point is not to give up. Like just today, I called in radio to play a game. Another point I would like to make is just call when they say to call. Doesn't matter if you do not know what is it for. When you hear the magic words, "call now!" just dial 66911987. Yes, you should also have their number at the back of your hands, or rather at your fingertips. You can always ask the DJ later call for what huh? Anything that goes wrong, the option of slamming the phone down is always available, so there's no fear at all.

As mentioned I called in earlier and it was for some kanya west and 50c concert. Or so i thought it was. I was suppose to say a whole chunck of words in the shortest possible time. But i only managed to write down the first half. So i asked the DJ to repeat it and i wrote it all down and mumbled "I WANT TO GO TO THE KANYA WEST AND 50c ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY ON THURSDAY 13 SEPTEMBER!" in like two seconds. The uncle before me took six lol. I felt that i didnt make any sense and was trying to smoke her but she went something like wow thats fast! You're making me so hot right now.. Okay i made up the second part. Still waiting for her to call me. I hope i won. When i first called in i got the engaged tone like 15 times, before i got through but it hung up because no one answered. I did not give up and heard the engaged line again for like eight times before i got through and she fianally answered. So do not worry if you do not get through or if the line is busy. Even if you do not get through when you call, for example the morning show with Dan and Young, your call may be picked eventually during the midnight show with the muttons. So not to worry, can one.

To summarise, always call immediately and furiously when you hear the words "call now!" Even if it is to say nonsense, you hear your voice on radio also SONG right.

2) Via SMS. The next simple medium involves SMS. I have never won a single thing in my life through SMS. I believe it is due to my slow SMSing skills. Also i suspect my handphone kelong. Everytime i send my entries to 72346 - spells RADIO and is the 987 sms number - it displays the name Meishi, my friend, instead of 72346! But they still charge me for it, but i suspect kelong. Anyhow jokes aside, i strongly advise you NOT to take part in SMSes unless you know the answer to a question and you have very fast thumbs. If not the 30c can be spent more wisely on ice kosong or to the gian peng fund. Yes, I have decided to set up a gian peng fund, to help all gianees. Please email if you wish to donate. Sometimes they ask you to SMS to vote or take part in lucky draws. DO NOT BE CONNED! This is known as REVERSE GIAN PENG. It is a high level gian peng art, where by the organisers make you gian, with you parting with your money and they have thus become the gian pengger instead and you the dumb ass.

To summarise never take part in any SMS contest, unless the prize is really that appealing or you are SMS your entries to questions very early in the show and that you can SMS quick.

3) Physically going down. This is the most bo liao method of entry for taking part in a gian. Previously they had a contest for the most 'harajuku' clowns will get to catch Gwen live. So unless you are damn free and believe you can out harjuku others, do not bother. Or some contests may need you to go down and answer a secret password or some crap. Unless you are already in the area or the prizr is something you really want. Just stay home and DOTA or something.

To summarise, this is the weakest form of gian entries. Do not physically go down.. Common sense. Unless you really gian the prize.

Hmm i dont think I won the 50c crap. The girl did not call me back. I shall try again tomorrow.

To summarise the summary, tune in as much as you can to the different shows 987fm offers. Different shows have standard ways of entry. Morning shows usually take in SMSes cos they have more listeners and they want to perform reverse gian peng on us. So they request us to SMS. Other shows do both SMSes and call-ins, some just call in. Keep an active ear on what celebs are coming to town, or new movies being advertised on 987fm. More often that not, competitions are held for every of these.

May the gian force be with you.
