What people say

Thoroughly enjoyed the short stories, finding them gripping and touching, with unexpected little twists. On my second reading, with real concentration, I found them even more interesting. They made me think, too, and that is always a good thing!
– Valerie Dümpelmann, EFL instructor, Germany

“The spectacular smooth, silky thread of migration holds the exquisite pearls of histories, unique perspectives, lively characters, exciting incidents, connections, and incredible imaginations of Singapore. The phenomenal Tabula Rasa will stay with me for long.”
– Liu Fang, Further Education teacher, Hong Kong

If not for my creative world of reading and writing that formed the purpose of my life, this otherwise mundane life would've reached a stagnant saturation long ago
