In January, I shared in my blog about POSB's Chinese New Year fixed deposit special. The offer was: Get 1.88% per annum for a 12 months fixed deposit from a minimum sum of $1,000 to a maximum sum of $1,000,000. I tried taking part in it and because I am such a dinosaur with IT stuff, I wasn't sure if my application went through. In fact, when a reader asked me about this during the second "Evening with AK and friends" last week, I was not able to give a clear answer. Anyway, I checked earlier and I found that my account has been credited with $88. Apparently, I was one of the first 10,000 customers! My application was successful! We need little happy surprises like this from time to time in life......
