This is a really Special Sunday.
Desi has first to forego sleep to upload Sabrina's THE MALYSIAN DILEMMA at 3-something in the morn so that SsssPirit and other fans of hers, plus newbies too, could wake up to butter/spoil (your choice, Life's about CHOICES, Sab used to say...)their CON BF! for newbies, that's for CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, which is an addiction for Desi on SUNDAYS! So if you're treating me, please act like a CON- ma/woman/lady, whatever, PERSONAL COICE again!)
So, are you ready to take on the challenge?
Because YOU ASKED FOR IT, DESIDERATA obliges with the continued challenge to find a winner for that CHALLENGE TO LOVE, by Catherine De Costa, who needs no further introduction. Desi has decided, after sle-eee-eping on it for endless hours, decided on the NAME of OUR I-LAND.
The Booker Prize goes to the first among Desi’s EsteemedReaders to guess the CORRECT NAME that Desi has decided on (Hey, READ MY MIND is the name of the Game!) first via COMMENTS channel at this post. YOU MAY LIST THREE ANSWERS (1), (2) and (3). If more than one respondents get the answer right, the ranking of these 3 answers may factor in as the decider. I wonder why I am so confident that this 4th challenge will 4 any Winner. Maybe there will be CHALLENGE 5, and this is thinking aloud.
The Deadline is 2400 hours – midnite for IgnorantCowws!--Tuesday August 30, and the WINNER will be announced bright and early to welcome Merdeka Day on 31 AUGUST 2005 at 10.10am.

ENJOY! ENJOY! ENJOY!
POST-Script (that is normally spelt PS at Desi's, but today being a day to teach IgnorantCowws some Inggeris, I'm allowed to, you know, "P"L -- Lesen Lembu!, and it means just that -- after the main script. No, it doesn't represent a request for you to send me the ANSWERS by slow mail. No eamil either. Just via COMMENTS!
Earlier atthe earlier Post's Comments, I said I'm going to cheat -- yet get away with it -- yes, post this second Post today (special, remember?). but it's ranked below Sab Tan's THE MALAYSIAN DILEMMA ESSAY becos, as in news ranking, it enjoys on;y 2nd ranking! --so for LazyCowws who have not read the first ranked ESSAY, please go back to the TOP, read as a precursor to doing this puzzle,there is this thingy called WARMING UP, remember, before the run?! (half rhetorical, half-NON-, hence an Exclmation plus a Question mark, and such issues come under PUNCTUATION. And please, IGONORANT ....I was going to say Cowws, then I realise I was the one I include under, so taken back, the PS DOES NOT form part of the CLUES.
NOTE: I'd do a PPS later after I wake up from adjourned sleep to answer that stupid CHALLENGE 3(b)! Some people don't even know one exists! Poor communicator, this guru engrund. SOS to Howsy, take over, polliiiisssss....
Now the exact time is 4.42am.

Hi sweets:
Nah, you're rude, nah, I've come across worse, so no worries.
It's just a li'l teAsing just Malaysian style, maybe the Oz ppl differ in thei dept cos down here we call each other lots of nicks, depending on our moods & fancies, like I call mGf Mr Coww -- de does like like to be identified.
Hey, you're doing lots of assignments, what kind? Can Desi help? Really, it's anything to do with Creative Writin'?

No lah, hpow can te answer be SO EZY1? Must study the Po-em-lah, how do you pronounce this po-emm? or Pom..like in Pompus? I know I digress, but we have time, don't we, since you're capable of travel more than c!
