Why I create?

World War 2 in Singapore is over and done by nearly 60 years. Writing on the subject is as dry as finding water in the desert. It is no longer relevant in today's context, in this information age, where everything digital is commonplace and taken for granted. As the subject is vast and it is impossible to cover every bit of detail accurately, I choose to re-create the past from stories passed down from my grandparents, books I read, sites which I have visited, people whom I spoke to and from my imagination.

My ultimate goal is to tell a story about goodwill regardless its origins, whether its from the aggressor, the defender or the innocents caught in between.
