Recently McDonald has come out with a new set of Doraemon Lucky Charms for this coming Chinese New Year. There are 12 of them and it was suppose to represent the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. (十二生肖） Umm.. Except for 1. There is no PIG. Awwww.. :(
In the earlier press release last week, McDonald has decided not to include the pig toy to avoid offending the Muslim customers. Hence it was replaced by Doraemon Cupid toy instead. (http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_475296.html)
Since there is no pig in the series, it became meaningless to collect all the 12 of them. So, Hubby & I only bought our family's representation of the animal zodiac sign. (Tiger, Snake, Sheep, Dog). Just earlier, we managed to buy the Doggy Doraemon Toy from McDonald to 'complete' our personal set. hehehe. Looking on the bright side, we do not need to spend so much too. :)
Right after we got our Doggy lucky charm, we went to shop at NTUC Xtra @ Hougang Point. For every $50 spent, you'll get 1 lucky spin. There are only 4 free gifts to be won. Looking at the prizes on the wheel, the main prize is marked as "春". The rest is either blank space (which means no prize) or a small packet of biscuit, a packet of cracker etc. We got 2 free spins and Denver & Gladys each gets to spin for 1 time.

Next, Denver's turn to spin and he strike the best gift. :p So LUCKY! I can see the envy crowd behind us. hehehe..
