"I know you don't love me anymore!" I said, teary-eyed. "You didn't care when I fell!" I was, I believe, four or five when I said that to my mom. And though I cannot remember the exact circumstance in which it was said, I remember clearly it was to solicit my mom’s love and attention.... Continue Reading →
Missing You
I missed you. But I don't think I'd ever tell you that. I don't want to appear weak. But I missed you.
Army Made Me Fat
I've just had my breakfast: a slice of bread with an application of Heinz Sandwich Spread. After I had finished that slice of bread, I put away the loaf of bread, and placed the butter knife into the sink. Suddenly it dawned on me that compared to the time I was in the army, I... Continue Reading →
Out of Words
I opened my journal And to my dismay, I realised I had run out Of things to say. Though laying stagnant And appearing deep, The mind has been running With no thoughts to keep. Like RAM in a computer That when turned off, clears, My mind keeps no memory of Hopes, dreams, or fears. I... Continue Reading →

"I once had a friend," he continued, "who lived... Continue Reading →
The Second Guess
There are days where I second-guess this romance. And ask, "is this true love, or just my imagination?" Then thinking about my thinking I stop mid-thought, and Berate myself for this blasphemous contemplation. But do not fault me for thinking twice about us. Because when it comes to you, believe me, I am serious. More... Continue Reading →
Beauty World (and Thanks)
I've just returned from a company-sponsored dinner and musical (Beauty World). Beauty World's a local musical, and though I wasn't expecting much from it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was the first time I attended a musical in ages, and the first one I've watched at the Esplanade. Though I wouldn't be able to justify... Continue Reading →
Older and Wiser
"I'm old enough to know if what they're doing is right," she tells me, as she looks away as if that was that; the argument was ended; that she was right and I was wrong. We were talking politics, and though I did not disagree with what she had said (and indeed would have taken... Continue Reading →
