After the forum, I had the chance to chat with Mr. Chan at the lobby. ” I started running when I was 45 years old.” he said. ” I was a smoker, a drinker and a nightclubber.” he added. As he shrugged his shoulders I know it was a past he took no pride and [...] We walked past a few huts trudging along the trail. Though partially covered by shrubs and banana plants, I could see ahead the vast rice land, now laid fallow because of the long drought. It was brown all over except for the little patches of green. As we reached the edge of the farm, I saw this flowing water gushing out [...] It was a night not different than previously. Nothing was unusual. On the whole, it was quiet except for the sound of speeding cars on the streets nearby. My wife was already asleep. It was already late and I couldn’t sleep. I lied staring blankly on the skyline through the opened window. The dark gray [...] Just recently, I received a sad news that one of my English teachers in college died due to diabetic complications.

Trapped. One decided to jump from their window. The other was burned to death. This story is about our uneducated but well to do neighbors. Two old unmarried sisters inherited a coconut plantation. They hid their large cash in their pillows instead of depositing at the [...] That morning was unusually hard for me. My heart was heavy. There were many things bothering me inside. I was sitting at the right window side in a nearly full SMRT bus on my way to morning prayer in church. Passengers, mostly students were chatting and laughing.
