Things That Go "Bump" in the Night an irrational fear...or is it? -ebony '97 |
"I wrote this in response to a composition topic given in Secondary One. In this composition, I tried to take a humorous view of the fear that strikes many of us when we are alone in the dark at home, in the deepest part of the night. Even though I have offered a number of 'rational' explanations for this phenomena, it's up to you to decide if your fear is unsubstantiated..." |

"This was written for this year’s (1998) Commonwealth Essay Competition. I tried to tell the story through the dialogue between two people, taking the liberty of adopting an unusual accent for one man, in the hope that it would lend some quirkiness and authenticity to the dialogue. I hoped the shock ending would come as a surprise to the readers, contrasting with the relatively light and humorous mood of the rest of the story." |

Remember to be remembered... -ivory '98 |
"This was written for my CAP mentorship portfolio. It's probably one of my better works (yes, pathetic isn't it), albeit the weirdness and peculiarity of it all...delve deeper into it, to me, it's more than just its literal meaning..." |
