Yahoo-reka?
At around 3pm, Ms. Kwa suddenly sms-ed me and asked if I wanted to go to an exclusive Yahoo! event. To quote Big Bang Theory: “In the world of emoticons, I was colon capital D”. I rushed home to change, with the impression that the exclusive Yahoo! event was something like I don’t know… Heineken Green Room?
What? Not plausible meh?
I think I was severely overdressed. LOL!
Anyway, turns out the event was for Yahoo to tell us about this project they have going on called ‘Youreka’.
Ppt slides.
Youreka is basically this sort of online competition targeted at people aged 18 - 25. From what I gather, it’s basically a way for Yahoo to showcase their properties by dangling awesome goodies in front of you.
All over Youreka, there are these tickets that you can find hidden inside some sites. You find them, enter your Yahoo ID and you get yourself a freebie!
When you go and collect your freebie, you get a chance to find the elusive Purple Ticket that lets you compete in an event at the Singapore Flyer. The prizes are pretty awesome: there’s a Honda, a Blackberry and Adidas shoes.
Actually, I wonder if there’s more than 1 item per prize. If there is, I might consider going down for the event.

Obligatory picture at the Yahoo! sign.
We went down to Starbucks after that for coffee to chat. I think most of us were bedazzled because we were invited there as bloggers.
Well, I was anyway.
