Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 25, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Ng Yi-Sheng! Celebrating another fabulous year of your literary brilliance—because let's face it, you're the only poet who can rhyme "queer" with "career" and make Singapore blush proudly. From SQ21 to your captivating verses in Softblow and Queer journals, you've given us stories that sparkle brighter than Marina Bay Sands at night.

Here's wishing you endless inspiration (and plenty of kopi) as you continue crafting words that challenge norms and tickle our funny bones. May this birthday be filled with laughter louder than a hawker centre during lunchtime—and may your pen remain forever witty!
