I have been writing for years but I never have thought of entering a writing competition - not until December 2014, when I decided to challenge myself and try writing a 3000-word essay.
I was fortunate that I had just finished finalising the first, second and third chapter of my doctoral thesis, which means I had two weeks to be spent before data collection started. The dateline for the competition was real soon and so, the two weeks of a holiday was a great relief.
Couples of months later, I received a call from the organiser. They congratulated me for winning the first runner-up prize in the competition. That was a big surprise! - I never expected that, though I did put some hopes on winning the Ipad XD.
As you might have noticed, my writing skills are still immature so I still have a great deal of work to be done on making it better. On the other side of the coin, winning this competition means a lot to me - It is a stepping stone for me to achieve more in the future.

Love-Marriage-Husband-Wife
Love is
caring, kind and patient
Love does not
hate, hurt and envy others
Love is not
proud, hypocrite and selfish
Love always
forgives, protects and trusts the one you loved
I am a little bit shy to show this mini video of my solemnisation & reception.
The truth is, I'm not really good at making videos - but I am deeply in love with every priceless moments and memories of the day. So yeah, putting them into a nice video would be awesome =)

A B and C
A had been together with B ever since high school. They were loyal and love each other until one day, B went overseas to pursue his studies.
B met C. Well, A B and C were friends in high school. C admired B although she knew that B and A were together.
Some unexpected things happened. B left A for unsolid reasons and B decided to be together with C.
A left alone in hometown while B and C are happily together in overseas.
How could B and C build a relationship and let A lives in a teary life? A sacrificed her lifetimes with a guy whom eventually left her to be with another girl. Such a waste of time, energy and love!
Moral: A real human is those whom know what loyalty is and understand what painful feeling really means. END STORY.
