And the winner of the Wordy Gurdy Competition is ....
Plink, with this entry:
The cat was out of the bag. For six weeks, her nerves had been rubbed raw. Incessant calls from the press only made things worse. Her hands shook badly. The jagged remains of a wine glass bit into one. The other hovered ineffectually; it would not put her telephone down. She turned to leave, to go anywhere but her feet felt like clay. Her mouth suddenly felt dry.‘Kucing,’ she turned to her partner. ‘They know about us.’
Well done Plink, a marvellously written short story. Others who came close were S-Kay and Kaki Cucuk Langit, and it was tough choosing the champion.
I really enjoyed everyone's efforts and I'm not just paying lip service here, I am genuinely impressed. Good job, guys! I shall run another Wordy Gurdy contest in the near future ...
Plink, I will dedicate a post to you soon - to help me along, please provide the following details:
What you dislike
The name of your favourite school teacher
Favourite pastime
Favourite colour
What type of car you drive (or preferred public transport if you don't drive)
Your age
I'm so exhausted and it's only mid-week... work's piled up and no holiday in sight, resulting in one stressed out Kucing. Anyone got a quick free anti-stress cure?
Till next time, this is Kucing Gatal signing out with a tired Meow.

Snglguy: Somehow I think I will end up more stressed than ever ... thanks for the offer though!
Plink: You're welcome. You deserved to win :)
Kaki Cucuk Langit: And exactly how often do you hang out in Ikea?
S-kay: I need to take time off to do that, at the moment can't afford to do it. Perhaps next week!
Anonymous: What's this newspaper about? Is it online?

Anonymous, what the hell are you on about?

You have run out of stuff to write-lah.
Thats what-lah.
People are lured by that sassy name.
Where got stuff?
C'mon, dear. Write something like the Datin.

Anonymous, nobody lured you here. With a title like Winner of Wordy Gurdy competition, I don't think anyone would have mistaken that for a super hot sex discussion. Nothing sassy about it ;)
The Datin is a brilliant writer, I love her blog, and there's no way I can come close to her :)
By Kucing Gatal, at September 26, 2005 4:15 AM
Oh yes, you can.
You have the diction and flair.
Dont waste it-lah.
Your name is Sassy. Perhaps you....who knows?
:-)
