The mail that never came. Then again, never say never

Sigh... No one wants to buy the stock from my previous post ah? Sigh... Anyway, I received something yesterday that could have made my day. It's quite hilarious actually. I shall explain, just wait, I need to convince U to buy the stuff first. Why don't U want to buy the stuff? Is it not reasonable? Heck the price can be haggled, why not? *ok enough crap now, ur chasing everyone away*
Now I shall start with my story. Had a paper to sit for yesterday, wasn't very satisfied with how I did, I crapped a lot. Yes! When I say I crapped a lot means I crapped tonnes, *nah I'm just exaggerating, I crapped for almost 3 outta 5 essay questions" Ok, left the exam hall early cause the place was crazily cold! My fingers were practically numb, the fingers that were numb were in my pocket somemore. -.-" Could have left earlier, but I heard rain and thunder, so I couldn't go anywhere in the current weather anyway, I just waited... waited... waited.
Reached home and oddly enough, checked out the mail that was collected. * I hardly get mail, apart from the result slip which is addressed to me but my parents eagerly open, but I check occasionally for some reason I have no idea. Trying to be nosy I guess. * Then I saw one really odd mail. A letter addressed to me, it was a mail for members.
I was shocked and was thinking "are U kidding me?", I showed my mum too and her response was almost similar, so I opened it. It was a brochure like thing to invite me to some carnival, there was a contest too and boy were those prizes tempting. But there's a catch. The contest is open only to children of 12 and below. -.-"
The mail was from a fast food chain, from their "Kiddie Club". I don't even remember joining. Wait! I remember joining, but it is very vague. My mum said I probably joined in 1994 or 1995. To be honest, I never received a single mail from them before. I don't even remember having a membership card *if they have one*. 13/12 years later they send me a mail?? heck I'm already 20! Yes, I might be young at heart but isn't this pushing it a little? It took them 12 / 13 years to mail me something? imagine how efficient they are. -.-""
I seem angry eh? Actually I'm grinning. Interesting ain't it? the first mail they send me is when I'm 20. Hahahahhaha that's how some silly mail almost made my day.
Let's see thier timelime. Let's say they use one year for each activity.

7. Approval by head manager
8. Details filed into database
9. Scrutinize details again
10. Oh, database is computerized, move files to IT centre
11. so many applications, takes time to reach mine
