Another Singaporean in PFFA

Let me see among PFFA’s 28,252 members I know Jee Leong is a Singaporean who is based in US (I don’t think he is coming back to Singapore), and recently there is Rui. He has just posted a poem
here.

And guess what, Rui is a blogger too. :)

Think Jee Leong is just doing his Masters there ... not that he emigrated or anything like that. Unless of course your news is more up-to- date than mine ...

Yup he is studying there. However, he gives me the impression, via our pms, that he is considering staying in US for good. I think recently he has managed to get a job too.

By the way Gilbert, are you a friend of his?

We met just once or twice. But our poems have appeared in the same publication several times. My brother knows him. Both of them are vice-principals in Singapore (or at least, Jee Leong was a vice-principal before he went off to the States).

Oic. It is such a small world.

I’ve always thought that Jee Leong is in his late 20s, never expected him to be older than me. :)

Ok just to add to this conversation for the sheer heck of it - there's something so wonderfully liberating about the anonymity of the online world! :)

Yep i know there's all that stuff about not assuming that what people write about is 'true' (and i for one am very adamant about that), but Jee Leong's latest poems don't sound like he's coming back anytime soon.

heh i don't believe i'm doing this.
