I wonder whether they will give a receipt for the submission through e-mail. Anyway, finally, after a week of "rodi" aka "work till midnite due to workload" in the office, I manage to check through the translation (hope I didn't miss any error)...

Another thing to ponder: one of the judges (Adrienne Clarkson) has a memoir titled Heart Matters. Is it a coincidence that this novel of mine is titled Heart, Actually? Again, some coincidence is not merely a coincidence... Sometimes, it's all correlated...

The Rt Hon Adrienne Clarkson (Chair) was Governor-General of Canada from 1999 to 2005 and a judge of the 2006 Scotiabank Giller Prize. A leading figure in Canada's cultural life, Madame Clarkson has had a rich and distinguished career in broadcastingm journalism, the arts and public service. Her memoirs have been published under the title Heart Matters.

Translation done -- checking now

Phew, thank God that after all the disturbance, lack of energy, the hectic social-personal life and many other projects I have in hands, finally I manage to finish the English translation! Will check this ASAP and send it to MAN Literary website!
