Shades of Creativity - Book Launch
I’m launching a book!
I would like to cordially invite you to attend the launch of my debut collection of poems, Shades - Online.
The book has been a labour of love, an 18-year journey of writing about the shades of grey that makes a person – a person like me, who has been living with a body quite different from yours.
As the live session has limited capacity, I hope you can join me to celebrate this little collection I’ve created. Your company is deeply appreciated.
It is an accessible event as sign language interpretation and notetaking services are catered for the Deaf and hard of hearing community who enjoy reading or writing poems and want to learn more about creativity from the arts to accessible spaces and more.
Join me, in conversation with Sarah Meisch Lionetto - Director of Arts & Creative Industries, British Council Singapore; Ms. Grace Low - Head of Community Engagement, The Esplanade; Mr. Gerald Chua - Chua Foundation and theatremaker Jeffrey Tan, as we explore how embracing diversity and difference can break new ground in the arts.
Come join me and get the tickets now! It's free...

Skin
What happens when one’s faith becomes more important than love?
Tan Yang Xin believes that he has made it by Singapore’s standards; a high income job at a brokerage firm, a luxurious car, and as his crowning jewel - Afifah, the love of his life.
It all seems perfect up till the moment when his eyes meet with her father’s, Pak. Years of turbulent history surfaces between them - moved by a vindictive heart, Pak denies their relationship and presses Yang Xin for a test of his faith, commitment and love for his daughter.
Journey with this interfaith couple through the eyes of Iman, the returning Imam, as the feuding males and the exasperated bride-to-be explore their relationship with religion, masculinity, their loved ones and perhaps most importantly — each other.
Lion
“Sometimes you have to be a lion, to be the lamb you really are.” - Yvonne Reed
Yi Kai, a reformed party playboy jock has waited his entire life for this moment—a chance at adopting a son. After countless rejections, he finally sees the light of day when an orphanage is willing to meet him for an interview.
On the day of the interview, Yi Kai steps in all dressed to impress. But at one look, Jack, the orphanage’s case manager, is instantly transported back to his teenage years where Yi Kai used to torment him relentlessly in school. A deep scar had been left to fester over the years in Jack’s heart, and unsurprisingly, the interview quickly ended with a flat-out rejection.
Puzzled but not defeated, Yi Kai refuses to give up the fight for his right to raise a child. Now, both men are forced to confront their bitter past for the sake of a child’s future.
The Time Machine
If you could go back in time, would you accept your past existence?
A scientist in the twilight of her career looks back on her life - reminiscing a simpler time where her world was full of infinite possibilities, where she aspired to leave something the world would remember her by. 15 years have passed, yet all she has done is to push herself deeper into her work, all the while pushing away those she loves and those who love her. Now, deadened by time, she settles down at her desk to work on her final project.
