ABOUT ME

I'm a wordsmith born, bred and living in Singapore. It is well said that the pen is mightier than the sword. I currently write for magazines under Singapore Press Holdings. While I'm still considered an apprentice, I make a mean letter opener.

PHILOSOPHY

Oscar Wilde once said: "If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know, you will never become anything, and that is your reward."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sunset on the 1st of March 2012 at Margaret River's Surfers Point, with Mars, Jupiter and Venus in the evening sky; the Milky Way revealing itself after night fell. The waxing gibbous Moon overhead was the most obvious feature – a celestial lamp shining onto the cliff edge – but Venus, equally brilliant, hung closer to the horizon, its reflection sparkling off the heaving ocean.
