Two cents of an entry

Latest smack of reality: Suddenly felt inspired this morning to enter a writing contest. Retrieved the form and read through. And there, at the very bottom, two categories were listed- 1) 13-15 years old 2) 16-19 years old.

.......

Distressingly realised that I have exceeded the eligible age-range and was subdued for the whole of 2 minutes before switching to upset mode, bit chafed. Why 19? Why not 20?? (feeling a wee bit ancient also)

My dearest friend Azleen has gone Down Under, in the name of education. Haha. Wishing you nothing but the best, Azleen, and hopefully you'll bump into Heath Ledger as you climb up Brokeback Blue Mountain. =p

Oh, what a pity. I'm sure your entry would've been a great one. I'm feeling ancient as well when I read what you went through. Hahahaha.

Sofi, I've also distressingly realised the age limit. Kinda frustrating when we do have the inspiration to write. Man, we are not considered as young writers anymore! ;)

So where does young ends and ancient begins? :P

Have you noticed how so far, the only ones commenting on this piece seem to be of the same age group i.e. The Ancients.

Okay then Hiyoshi, here's a comment from someone who is forever 'young'.

And the answer to your question skye: Young ends when someone is TOO eager to be ancient. So, one can be ancient at a pretty young age, you know....

when i was in standard sx i badly wants to enter a drawing competition which was open only for nine years old and below.It was held by a private company. Lucky me for having a really childish look plus can say i am really small and short at that time that they mistakenly accept me.But didn't win though..and the winner was an 8-year old girl- haha..
