Hadn't put two and two together that this was happening on a (shifted) public holiday (Friday) until pretty late.
Despite leaving home pretty late for this sort of thing (9 something), I joined the line at around 9.45 ish. When I saw how long the line was, I know I wasn't getting a goodie bag already. (I asked one of the people running the event; apparently the line started around 7 something in the morning, to which I say: there's no beating old people at these things).
I guess it was either dumb luck or karma (the lady before me asked if I could hold her place while she went to the loo; I said sure) cos I got the last number for the same day, RM10 cash voucher, for the 151st to 200th people in line. Me and the mum before me also fielded questions about the long line. I had to keep telling people who were trying to join the line after that the numbers are all gone when there should be someone working the event do that and not me..😒
I get that they were trying not to give families more than one goodie bag, but shit still happened and there were entire extended families with more than one bag each. Going by the sneak preview of the bag on Instagram, it was just as well I didn't get one 😝
If nothing else, with just the envelope that held the voucher I managed to redeem coffee, cake and ice cream (that I dumped into the black coffee to make an affogato cos I didn't want my hands full). What did I use the voucher on? The Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush, which I was able to get both the parking voucher and another RM10 voucher as it was RM100 after the voucher.
