last SG · 2000-02-04T02:40:00+00:00

atreiu...that's so moving, I like it so much =) Do you mind making a copy of this and post it under Paul Mah's the lost ring thread? I posted two stories the...

MayaJade SG

Dear all

thanks again for writing in. It's been hard to choose the winner. Callan's story conjures a scene in my head, like a movie. And he writes poems, too. Derek's story touches a chord in me and his style is engaging. Terence's entries leave a hollow feeling in my heart.

Then I looked at John Wong's entry and though it doesn't qualify, I heard rumours that John Wong has hair like that of a corn and that he has a nice smile. I was temptd to pick JW and date him but I feel that I should stick to my duty as a fair judge.

Really.

And...it's Terence! actually it's his second entry that did it. See ya when you get here, mate. Meanwhile I'll hunt and save for a place that can compare with your compass rose prize

Life is too full of random cruelties to take anything personally

Callan SG

Maya:

The judge have spoken, and I abide by the rules. *sigh* And the best man won.

I still stand tall,
though my heart is no more.
I have never wondered,
what is life without you,
for my mind forbide so.

Lingering in darkness,
I search for my soul,
I found it with you,
imprisoned by your eyes,
a prison I could not break free.

You first stole my heart,
and now you have kept my soul.
How can I move on,
when my mind is without both?

Terence:
You better treat her good, or you gotta answer to my faerie army. *laffs*

Just my $0.02 worth

The competition is going to get very tough indeed once terence and callan start telling their real life stories here. It’s one hell of a tragedy that will make classics like Gone With the Wind seem like a B-grade sci-fi flick. so people, get your tissues ready. hahahaha

Callan SG

Terence:

Now, that's what you call sarcastic.

Anyway, ladies and gentleman, I guess the competition is over, feel free to post more stories if you like, I'm sure we would enjoy the sobbing, but just note that the prize *sigh* is no more.

Terence SG

Callen: Was it Oscar Wilde who said, Those who can, do. Those who cant, become critics.?

Anyway, luckily for me the female category was not that much of a headache. It was a straight contest between Rinoa and Maya. Both their stories dealt with childhood themes and employed a very personal narrative. In almost sepia toned constructions of the past, both managed, with a touch of local realism, to open up chronological closures for a free discourse between the past and the present. Both were equally emotive and sincere, and it came down to scrutinising the details. Really this is one of those cases were its a pity only one can be chosen. Maya, youve just won yourself a dinner date, a poem and all kinds of midnight delights when I return. *wink*

cheers

MayaJade SG

I WON I WON I WON

Maya runs around the room and does some sommersault.

does that mean I get to date you twice???

Rinoa Heartilly SG

Terence
The story is real and it happens to me personally...but it is ok though cos I am not after the prize ..just wanna share something...close to my heart... Smile

Rulakir SG

Callan, you can always put yourself up as the prize to keep the thing going. Wink

Anyone else wanna volunteer ? Smile

prodigal SG

Well, Rinoa Heartilly,

We need to give Terence a chance for a date right. Smile Smile Smile Smile

I Want to Die While You Love Me
by

Georgia Douglas Johnson

I want to die while you love me,
While yet you hold me fair,
While laughter lies upon my lips
And lights are in my hair.

I want to die while you love me,
And bear to that still bed,
Your kisses turbulent, unspent,
To warm me when I'm dead.

I want to die while you love me,
Oh, who would care to live
Till love has nothing more to ask
And nothing more to give!

I want to die while you love me
And never never see
The glory of this perfect day
Grow dim or cease to be.

lexelle SG

Phew,

I am glad that I didn't win....

Very Happy

*(^_^)*

MayaJade SG

Lex. if it was u who won, it woould be to date me

Callan SG

Maya, Rulakir:

Well, I dun feel worthy enough. Ok, let's be democratic, who would want to settle for a 3ft troll as a prize, hands up?

Terence:
Not too sure about the Oscar Wilde part. But the quote sure fits.

Rinoa:
How about you be the next prize, and I try my hardest to win? *winks* hmmm... I'm going to get strong competition from proddy for sure. My, how am I going to compete with the prince of literture for your tears? *sigh* I doubt it will ever be my turn.

Prodigal:
Is there any way I can bride you? Though I doubt your undying admiration for Our dear Angel, could ever be bought.

Lex:
You know what? I seriously think that what you wrote though looks simple, carries depth. That is one of the few classic suan I have come across. Not like me, the empty vessel which makes the most noise.

Bish:
Maya is not being Water-letter-goat-flower lah. I put it that she is trying to give me back my condfidence, I appreciate that, *sigh* but she has yet to give me back my soul.

Just my $0.02 worth

prodigal SG

Well, Callan, the prince of Elves,

To be called the prince of literature is too much of a big honour to me as I am getting no inspiration for writing for the time being ... I think I am just a mediocre writer.... Perhaps, I think that Rinoa has the choice to decide whether she wants to be the prize or not.. For one, I could not compel her to do what she does not want to do... Smile Smile Smile Smile

In any case, Happy Valentine's day

Rinoa Heartilly SG

Callan
Me a prize??No way!!The queue is much too long for me to endure...I think I am going to set up an international fan club soon..and proddy will never let u win for sure.. Smile Smile

lexelle SG

Maya:

*slurps slurps*

Sure I wanna date you out, but do I need to compete with the guys? I don't think so.

Callan:

Har? I thought I sound so unintelligent?

Rinoa:

Tell me when you are coming back, I will wait for you at the airport with a big bouquet of champagne roses and send you all the way home.

Very Happy
