In contribution to a friend who had left Penang a year ago for the island of honey,money and no chewing gums, I would like to give you, my fair readers, an intimate insight into the academic and intellectual workings of Marcel Leng. Here are among his two formost poems: Oh, Hell NUS!!-Marcel Leng Damnation befalls on one side of the fence and bless'd are those on the other, one side works and toils with no defence, while the other side jokes with one another. Work we do and work we get, a single work done begets three in turn, and insurmountable odds we have, and our work ever tempted to be burned. Work pile up while we rest, and work pile up even when we work! Hell as it is, they named it education, and stuff it at NUS as it is. Damn the paper, makes me look like a fool, who can't even add one together to make two. And yes... the moral of this half-baked poem is but one, fuck NUS. Nonsense-Marcel Leng Look back, remember, time goes by, return, never. Work hard, have fun, most importantly, eat lunch. Right hand, left hand, both equal and opposite, just the perfect composite. The sun, the sky, come on, don't be shy! I sit you stand, you sit I stand, this is why, we never see eye to eye. I have to say bye.
