Satire, satire, oh great irony, welcome to our world. We create noise to mask the silence, for if noise is the sound of life, silence is the absence of life. We create artificial scents to mask the odour, which maybe, didn’t actually smell bad in the first place, maybe our ancestors got tired of the [...]

You are sad and all alone, like a dog without a bone, It’s all been a lovely lark, but now you’re out of luck. You’re old and shrivelled, like a sour cherry tree, jaded and faded, That’s all you’ll ever be. They’ve found something new, Shiny and amazing, It’s a steal, nylon wrapped with a [...]

Beer, peanuts, rock & roll. And I wondered, why do we live like we’re never going to die? Holding on to all our material possessions, taking everything as it is, do we not understand that all this is temporal? That we’d lose everything one day. Doesn’t matter if you believe in reincarnation or heaven & [...]

I used to really hate how Singaporeans speak, until I realized how silly we sound when we try to speak like our ‘ang moh ‘ counterparts. I can pull off a variety of accents, and I used to to try to fit in with the non-locals. Watching a local play, it really hit me, this [...]

It’s a funny feeling, one that I have difficulty describing, walking down the streets of Clark Quay in the afternoon, on a Saturday no less. A moment, an opportunity to see, i mean really, see how different one place can be, depending on the time. Perhaps it was because I wasn’t intoxicated for the first [...]

It’s funny, maybe it’s part of life’s endless satire, how your conscience only finds it’s way back to you when the deed is done, and it make it’s return anything but discreet. Somewhat subtle, maybe, but not discreet. That’s not very nice. It’s like showing up at a party uninvited and making a scene. You’re [...]

Whats ‘Life‘? Whats ‘Life?’ Whats ‘Life‘? “Life” is a four letter word. And everything from waking up, the hot coffee, the bird chirping, the cool breeze, the carbon monoxide from the bus, the dust on the window pane, the smiles and cries, it’s all part of that four letter word, and no one, no one, [...]

I’ve underestimated. I’ve forgotten. I thought about this and that. I guess, as an aspiring writer, some of the common fears and obstacles would be: Finding a publisher Bothering too much about what others will think about your work Who’ll buy? I can’t survive as a writer. Okay. 1, finding a publisher. Inferiority complex or [...]

This is going to sound emotional. Truth is, I don’t know what to say. I guess I’m sick of people who love the superficial. People who love because of what they see on the outside. The same people who wouldn’t even be my friend if they met me some years back. The same judgmental people [...]
