About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Bitter, sweet, and smooth as hell. (actually, i wouldn't know if hell was smooth or not, but its just a figure of speech, so unless you are chistopher boone, get over it.) The way i like my coffee.
went to sentosa as arranged.
had quite a time.. i mean, just walking bare-bodied EVERYWHERE i went was kinda a novelty for me. it also reminds me of the need to start working out again. damn. all the work pitched in before NAPFAs gone to waste. meh.
had alot of excercise though. swimming across islands, cycling, some running on hot silicon dioxide. but the time i enjoyed the most was that with myself. nothing against the company, trust me, they were brilliant company. but i just wanted to be on my own. of course, they granted me my wish. after all, i am but an outsider to that clique now.
the sea is really nice to look at. the waves keep on crashing down the rocks. while watching te sea i made a few observations.
1. The waves are continuous. Non-stop. If one place didn't have waves crashing about the shore, another place would definitely have.
2. The waves are erratic and inconsistent. At a moment, the waves were docile and rather calm, and at pockets of times, the waves were fierce and crashed upon the rocks like thunder and i could hear them clearly even through the music of my mp3.
3. The sea, contrary to popular belief, is NOT boundless. Or at least, where i was. The horizon was a line of land, no doubt the work of Singapore's modernisation and industralisation which artificially shaped the landscape and deprive the sea of its true boundless majesty.
4. The sea, from far, is a solid blue. The deepest most reassuring blue colour. Close by though, the sea is nothing but a mass of grey water. Again, that is the case at least in Singapore.
5. There are no fish in the sea as far as i my eye and mind can see.
I've gotten a decent tan. And my tan matches my hair colour. Thats an unexpected plus.
Man am i exhausted.
I should have known better.
for my crime, i got honourable mention.
see, everybody needs one,
everybody's bound.
Everybody's swings at me while Merry goes around.
