Just came across a great site while I was trawling around the internet as I usually do. I'd just been saying to a friend a few days back that I bet no-one ever actually enters all these competitions that we see advertised, and because of that, the chances of winning must be way better than expected.
That is why I came across this site - Win Free Stuff
It lists a bunch of comps you can enter, so you can do lots all at a time and not have to waste time finding them . I'm going to give it a shot and report back here, see how I do.

Demand for Japanese food remains strong in Singapore, with supermarkets like Cold Storage reporting that sales of Japanese products remain stable so far. The supermarket has put up signs stating that the Japanese imports it carries are from unaffected regions of Japan and are tested by the AVA. --ST PHOTOS: DESMOND LIM

SALES of some Japanese food in Singapore actually increased after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis.
This is because consumers hoarded products such as rice and baby milk powder, in case those sold later had radio-active contamination, said importers.
Both these items sold out over the past two weeks, they said, but sales of Japanese food went back to normal this week.
A spokesman for Yamakawa Trading, which runs Japanese food store Yamakawa Super, said it sold three months' worth of baby milk powder in 10 days.
Food importer Tanesei Trading said its stocks of 3kg packs of Japanese rice were snapped up in two weeks instead of the usual six.
Its general manager, Mr Steven Lim, said sales of its Japanese food imports increased by between 10 per cent and 15 per cent in the past two weeks.
Seven years ago a judge in California ruled that women suing Wal-Mart for sex discrimination could move forward as a class. That meant the women with various claims wouldn't have to go it alone, each with a separate lawyer and separate expenses. Essentially what the judge said is that the six women who filed the lawsuit can represent a whole group of women who might have similar complaints -- all 1.6 million of them.
Wal-Mart appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Taking a page from the big bank playbook, the company claims that it is too big to be sued

When I was a kid, one of the people I loved most in the world was known to me only as Mrs Francis. She had thick, bandaged ankles, permanent men's slippers, clattery false teeth, pudding-basin hair in a no-nonsense Harbour-Bridge grey and a face whose criss-cross furrows moved with a crocodilian action that entranced me. She was unimaginably old, but until the day she died she grew her own vegetables, boiled her clothes in a copper and made her own soap from animal fat. She had rooms that were never used and a jar of striped peppermint sweets for a sick husband we never saw.
Mrs Francis was our next-door neighbour, and when we were lucky enough to nip through the fence she would sit us beside her on the painted wooden bench at her table and tell us tales of the time before the city, the time when her spreading, verandahed bungalow was the farmhouse around there, and our house - inconceivable! - did not exist
