"Unimaginative."
"So heartlander."
"No style..."
Ok, so it's unimaginative. The moniker came from a trip to Mr. Teh Tarik in Far East Square one rainy day, where yours truly saw smartly dressed Raffles Place office folk sitting by wooden tables, slurping teh tarik and scooping nasi lemak off a banana leaf.
Heartlander, yes. But I say, deny any local his teh tarik and/or nasi lemak, and be prepared to face the consequences!!! But i exaggerate. These have become so much a part of local fare and daily life that you take it away, and there'll be something missing.
Well, the real reason why I set up this blog is to write things that were inspired by the talks over dinner, supper, coffee, tea, whatever. It'll not be so much about the meetings, but rather, things that are inspired by it. I might put in stories. Or poems. Or dreams. Or reviews.
In short, I'll be putting in my more 'arty-farty' things here. I think they deserve a space of their own, so that they won't be cluttered by the day to day happenings.
So... sit back, kick off your shoes, relax, and enjoy! scripted by me
