zomm cycling at ubin!!

Hey dar, if you really go cycling at ubin, drop me a line. I may not be an odacian, but damn, i love cycling.

I think RJC is a far nicer place then it was 3 weeks ago.

One more ftw! Not mine though.

Pulau Ubin
-Judith Huang

it cannot be denied
that the fields and forests
have their minds -
after all, morning dew
does mix with earth,
and they are fields of rain.

and the hens and cockerels,
they have to defecate somewhere.

it is also true that
such simple happiness here
is often found in thatched houses
(that burn easily),
down algae-choked wells,
and could well be boxed up and kept
in cement villages, complete with running water

besides, the sands you step on
are blackened with industrial oil and ugly mangrove,
the shards of glass make them dangerous,
they chip wounds away,
meld blood too close

imported sand would do better,
it is silken, white,
the way this sand could never be

yes, all this is true. besides,
these sampans are small, and
the salt sea stings its passengers
too freely.....

Today, Pulau Ubin will be given a “facelift”.
They will mould her into something
prettier, remove the mud fromher sand

Today, I return to the mainland,
leaving two small mounds of sand
on the concrete pavement

Beautifully written, don't you think?
