Twenty years to the date
A big snap in life
Awake to the Sun never so gloom
So bright yet so cold
Seven in the morning at Pasir Ris
A brave front but senseless within
To the ferry terminal
Onto a barren island for the next three months
Exchange the pink plastic for a green
A quiet lunch
A walk down Ladang
To a building called Leopard
Platoon Three Section Four Bed Four
Paired with Vincent
Opposite is Calvin and his Keroppi clock

Twenty years had passed
It was a waste of time
But a necessary waste
For one is forced to grow
Toughened up to meet the world
It was the grain of sand that resulted in the pearl
