I participated in some writing contest held by Australian Embassy for Indonesia. Well it was so spontaneous, I knew the info from my senior's tweet and I happened to tried my luck.
Several weeks ago, a Facebook account named "Kedubes Oz" added me. I was so shocked, mesmerized and got happily panic. I wondered how could this kind of account, out of nowhere, wanted to be my friend. Yet on the same time something really really tiny inside me convinced me that I won the prize.
Well, that was half true. I was titled as one out of ten finalists who were still competing for the trip. And I got a whole lot more excited. I was one step closer to the island of Kangaroo. Just needed to answer several questions they asked and matched my schedule with theirs and... Ahoy Matey, Welcome to Aussie!
But um... I lost, as usual.
I know I have no luck in this kind of things.
Competitions, contests, lucky draws, shits...
Now I started questioning myself.
Am I really good in this?
Is this really my call?
If yes, now please tell me
When could I?
you can always try next time..
