Welcome

I am a controversial man. Look upon my words with care. View me in a way that is just and fair. And that, for that, I might call you friend.

"Quay Under the Stars"
By Eugene Koh

The evening after Midsummer's (the play),
I went to walk in Clarke Quay,
Picked up a cup of Coke,
Medium sized, walked around.

The lights of the night dazzled,
More than the rays of the sun,
The lights that shone under my feet,
Shone brighter than the stars above me.

High chairs and neon lights,
Set this a pretty sight:
Teenage girls hanging out with their steads,
Knowing that it is half past ten.

As I walked across Rear Bridge,
A sudden thought struck me:
They are workers by day, clubbers by night,
So when do they sleep: In the day or night?
