The Girl on Aisle 6E

a sexy flash fiction about two strangers on a transit flight — It was as if he did not have to breathe.

There are no more fish in the sea

A short story for the Cambridge Short Story Prize 2018. — Uncle Chin has a boisterous laugh. The kind that you do not take seriously because he does not anyway. His eyes are beady and small, yet round and soft, like an old dog — an aged hound — weary from living yet wanting of love. …

Notes Of Thanks — A True Story About Money

When cash is more than that — A week ago, my Chinese neighbour gave me a red packet even after I said no. I thought she was joking at first when she asked me if I would accept her “e-angpow” in place of the “coffee” I ask the audience of my works — my art, my writing…
