I saw the Nuffang ad for it at the bottom of my blog quite a few times.
The graphics were cute.
I wondered how such ads ended up on my blog, whose usual readership was once the same number as my shoe size in centimetres.
That was about the only attention I paid to it.
Then I read about it on Bing's blog.
I like her blog a lot.
Of the tens of blogs I follow, she is the only blogger who wrote about it.
Suddenly, my interest piqued.
I had wanted to take part way back in 2003.
I could write in English, Chinese or submit entries for both!
Yes, a realist I am not.
I started counting the number of days till the deadline.
I convinced myself that my writing poweress from the composition-writing days & the took-part-only-once inter-school essay competition was just waiting to be fired up again.
Please skip the memory of my mind blanking out halfway during the competition.
The last 3 days, I went around bothering people around me to encourage me to participate.
Never mind that they had never read a single piece of my writings.
I just checked out the rules & regulations.
Looked through the list of past winners.
Some are repetitive winners in different categories. For a few years.
Saw some of their photos.
They look...literary.
All seem much older than me.
That means they have a larger wealth of experience to draw from for their writings.
Hmm.
I look...like a wannabe.

10 more days to 30 June 2011, 5pm.
The Husband think I'm wacko, with a new launch coming up this week.
Think parcels, emails, parcels, emails, parcels, emails.
I know I am. Because my parents are.
There is no topic on my mind yet.
This competition happens every 2 years.
人生有多少個兩年？
If I win anything, the money will be great for making more pretty bags, won't it?
Sorry, I know I should have bigger dreams.
I love challenges.
Metta,
