“Any moment now, I thought, he was going to wake up. Any moment.”
O Thiam Chin, Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Two

“It had not mattered who the object of love was, which could skip from person to person, ranging like a vane in the wind, pointing in any direction; the substance of a pursuer's love can only take the shape, fill the form of a willing, expectant recipient.”
O Thiam Chin, We Are Not Alone Here
