The Avengers

The Avengers Acting on information that a band of terrorists were spotted in the vicinity a day earlier, a nine-man patrol went to lay an ambush. They went against the cardinal rule never to use tracks - fools. As they negotiated a track sandwiched by a stream on the left and a hill on the right,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

A Walk Down Memory Lane Fifty years has gone by. Time flies. It seems only yesterday that we have filled the house and river with children’s laughter. So much have changed.

Drowned

Drowned I could only watch in horror as he disappeared beneath the surface. A muffled call for help and an arm outstretched. Eyes unseeing, resigned, bewildered and glazed. There was nothing I could do to help but gazed! Nothing to throw for him to catch. No floats, no ropes, not even trash. Going... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry: Fated Life

Fated Life You and I have a life to live. You and I have a future to live. You and I will strive to live. You and I must survive to live. We are destined to a given path.

The Flyer The Wright Brothers were his idol. If they could fly, he would try. With the help of a friend he gathered enough bamboo. Strong, flexible, light and free. The right components they’d agree. For days on end, They sliced, cut, weaved and secured the bamboo. And presto! One day, they had a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Protest

The Protest News of the impending name-change Came down hard without warning – strange! Tanjong Lobang College was going to be renamed! The news spread like wild fire. And a rain of spears all over.

The Crimson Sunset of Tanjong

The Crimson Sunset of Tanjong The brilliant orange sun kissed the horizon. A duty it performed precisely everyday for the past millions of years even before the beginning of Time.
