A Little Boy's Question
My mum was taking a stroll with my dad around the neighbourhood last week, because there was a new housing estate being constructed just next to our home. Early home adopters already have much to complain about because of the government’s oversight in approving the construction of a highway right in front of our houses. As my mum was walking past one of the newly occupied houses, there was...

A Favourite Toy, Once Upon a Time...
(murmur) Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to… Mummy: Here you go sweetie! you’re finally 2! big baby already! see, mummy bought you a present!

-happy music in the background-
His shoes were brightly polished, a perfect shine against its smooth black surface. Every step he took resounded louder and louder in Subang Parade. It was just too obvious that it was made from PVC. Everyone looked his way, some puzzled, some.. well actually everyone was just puzzled. He was extremely happy, light almost beaming out of his face. He had...
Remembering...
The clouds moved in on the morning sun, and a gentle breeze swept over the leaves on the ground, ruffling them in twirls around his feet. He paced along the pathway, to the tune of I’m Your Angel, intentionally missing the cracks in the pavement. The music in his ears drowned out the murmurs of the people in the park, as his hands thoughtfully brushed the stubble on his face before...
Emmy (Pt2)
“Emilia!”
She slowed down a little, waiting for him to catch up.
“Yes, Dr. Branson?”
He caught up to her, and smiled. “Please, call me Jack.”
She returned his smile, and said, “Jack then. Is it something about the medical reports? I’ve actually passed everything to Amy, if you need any – ”
He cut her off with a laugh. “No, no, Emilia, nothing of the sort. I was actually wondering if...
Emmy (Pt1)
Silent sobs wracked her slim frame as she struggled to compose herself. Tears trickled unheeded down her cheeks before she whispered in a small broken voice, “Please, tell me it isn’t true.” “Emilia…” came the deep, anguished voice on the other end of the receiver. “Just SAY it!

I saved it for you dear...
There was a phrase that was stuck in my head all day long today… I might not have shown it or said anything about it, but it was there, a replay.
We had last night’s leftover dinner for lunch this afternoon, and I must say leftover food never tasted better than this. She was sweetly beside me, apologising for the water that she mistakenly over-poured into my rice to soften it. It was...

Once upon a time
Once upon a time, I used to be a sweet guy, who would take the time and effort to express my love for my darling sweetheart. I used to give her surprises every month, and celebrate anniversaries in a memorable way.
