phoenix in the clouds,
flaming red, regal crest - sunfire, sun-proud,
spreading wings of flame and cloud,

Note: Trying to get my little 3 year-old to take a short nap is turning into a "my will versus your will" tug-of-war.

It is a generalization to say that Singapore does not have seasons. Or that she has hot and wet monsoon seasons.

I love the written word. Heck, I love language - the sounds, the textures and the compositions of it. I write and for a while, I was an editor.
