WELCOME and make yourself at home. I shall try to make your visit as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
My first loves are aerospace engineering and business management. But I also write…
I am a published author of novels and business books. If you wish to know more, please do stop by at WWW.LCABOOKS.COM
I am happy to share my interest in the written word - fiction, poetry and thoughts.
As your time is precious, I shall post micro fictions – no more than 600 words for 3 minutes or less of reading time. I write mostly about Life, Love and Family – giving these profound topics a boy’s/man’s point of view. Yes, men do remain faithful to their loved one and men do cry.
I also post musings in the form of poetry, for those into this genre of expression. Again, I touch mostly on Life, Love and Family – the joy and sorrow, hope and despair that engulf us.
I have a journal about a boy (Mechanic Leigh) and his friends who grow up in Chong Pang Village, Sembawang, Singapore. It traces their growing up years in the 1960′s. A little trip down memory lane, it takes a humourous and irreverent look at situations from Mechanic Leigh’s point of view. The journal is made up of a series of micro-fictions (maximum 600 words/3 minutes). Those who wish to relive their childhood and/or wish to catch a glimpse of Singapore before it became an economic powerhouse, might find this journal revealing – meet the beauty queen before she burst onto the world stage.
I also like to share my thoughts…if you care to read them – under Category > Thoughts & Reflection. Thank you.

You are too good to me, Steph
I need some time to let this sink in. I usually take a glass of wine/brandy or scotch after dinner…it is that time now and I am going to savour it as this is cause for celebration. As for the German, I need to brush up and get back
All good wishes,
Eric
P/S Thrilled that you listed KEEP THE INN DOOR OPEN as one of your favourites.
Hi Eric
Cheers! The pleasure was all mine. As for “Keep the inn door open” it is a marvellous post. It only proves that the world hasn’t changed much during the last 2000 years; but we all know that,,don’t we.
Steph
Steph, yes the world has not changed in over 2000 years.
Incidentally, that poem in German is about unrequited love. An old but recurring theme that still enthrals us all. My German is not good but here goes…
Ein Gedicht der unerwiderten Liebe. Ein altes aber wiederkehrendes Thema, das uns alle noch bezaubert
Hi Eric , may I wish you all the best in 2012 . You have a comfy and welcoming entrance to your blog which I look forward to exploring very soon. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on Mary and Jo part 20 I hope it is not my writing that is making the anticipation painful or that the story is over told!

Hello Steph,
Sharp eyes.
You noticed that huh
Yes, it is the Candle Lighters Award which I received last week and have not got around to passing forward. I actually have several more awards and have been remiss, I’m afraid, but hope to get all that out by this week.
Have a great start to the week ahead,
Eric
Took my sunglasses off! Candles don’t give that much light that one can see them wearing sunglasses. And some other awards too!!. Go and buy a larger cupboard quickly. Congratulations again (for the other awards that is) and even though it is already in the afternoon for you, let me wish you a nice week too.
Love
Steph

Best wishes!
Hi Eliza,
Thank you for your visit and comment. I hope that my posts don’t put you off. I try to present my thoughts in small morsels but these (admittedly) do come packed tight. I also post micro-fictions which are for lighter reading but with an underlining message…sorry, that’s me.
Kind regards, Eric
P/s I enjoyed my visit to your blog and shall return.
wow, really cool. I am grateful to connect with you on here
You’re welcome Bro…Peace, Eric
Hello Eric! Thanks for liking my poem I’m just starting and its nice to meet other scientists writing poetry, I’m looking forward to seeing your site it looks interesting.
Hello Ric,
Thank you for the visit and post. I have read your poems – daily, huh? Very challenging but I believe you’ll do it. I am not a scientist but an engineer, pretty close I suppose – one discovers it, the other makes it work.
Cheers, Eric
Awesome blog. Sweet theme
Glad you liked it Till. Cheers, Eric
No need to apologize, Eric …
For me you pack an awesome lot in a variety of genres – I could only marvel and respect what you do! All the best! Eliza

Finally I can do something I wanted to do for a while: to thank you for your support. I am therefore giving you the “Genuine Blogger Award”. Read more here : https://justramblinpier.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/genuine-recognition/. I hope you like it and the big thing is NO OBLIGATIONS!!!!
Love and big, big hugs
Steph
Well, Steph,
For a person who is usually not lost for words, I am still scrambling to find some to adequately thank you. I shall re read this post and respond accordingly,
Meanwhile, thank you for your love and recognition.
Eric
Look who’s already back. Another award! The “Noteworthy Archive award”, you know as well as I do that there are a lot of treasures in your archive. Find out more here: http://justramblinpier.wordpress.com/noteworthy-archive-award/. Again no obligations. I know of another award like that, but that one I can not distribute freely. You first have to nominated for it yourself. (I’m hoping!)
How about that for a Monday?
Love
Steph.
Dear Steph,
You spoil me. I accept with all humility.
I wish to reel out a long ‘speech’ or comment that pours words profusely, but the reality is in such occasions, I become tongue tied and shy even.
I shall remember these wonderful thoughts and gestures.
Lots of love and hugz for you,
Eric

You have been kind in your comment and contribution. I have enjoyed both of them very much. Thank you, Eric – the eternal ruler – (have just looked up the meaning of your name …

I find your poems easy to read – not at all ambiguous, yet lend themselves to different interpretations.
Eric > the eternal ruler (Hmmm…)
Let you in on another: Alagan means “good looking” in Tamil

Thanks Eric for liking my poem on “Dreaming of Dreams”. I am looking forward to reading your poems to see your view points on different emotions that are everyday in life.

Your poem touched on ‘reality’ and hinted about ‘illusion’. That is interesting, as I will be posting a poem soon, about these two subjects.

G’day from “downunder” Eric,
Hope all is well with you?
Our esteemed colleague Dennis Lange, The Venerable Bard of Texas, roped me into this and I, being the sweet guy I am, now pass the baton on. It’s a game called “Plague or Play”.
Please visit “It’s th’ plague, bring out yer dead!” [ http://steeltee.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/its-th-plague-bring-out-yer-dead/ ] at SteelTee and join in. It’s nothing serious, just a bit of social fun, no charge, no obligation and no prizes…
Kind regards,
T.
Thanks T,
I am kinda preoccupied with other stuff in my life. Probably get round to this down the road sometime.
Cheers, Eric
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for the “like.” I appreciate the encouragement.
You are very welcome. All good wishes, Eric
your poetry is beautiful…i was inspired
Your kind words will motivate me to do better. All good wishes, Eric
Hey, Thanks for ‘liking’ my limerick. I see from the comments that you are generous with your affirmation, and it comes right back to you
. Best wishes, and hope you’ll stop by again. I’m pretty new at this, but looks like you are a pro, so will be stopping by to learn from you.
Thank you and hope to see you around here and at your blog. All good wishes, Eric
Thank you Eric for subscribing to my blog. I am very honored and have enjoyed your posts tremendously and found your writings to be inspirational.
I thank you friend.

Hi! I have nominated you for the ABC Award. If you choose to accept, visit this link for details
http://myownavalon.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/abc-award/
Congratulations
Sirenia
Congratulations on winning this award. As you know, I have been reading your posts for sometime now and you well deserve this.
Thank you also for passing on this award to me. I really appreciate this and accept.
All good wishes,
Eric
eric – i may not comment a lot on your work, but I do enjoy reading it & look forward to more. God bless & love always…
Dear Anil,
No worries. I suppose you are like me – post a comment on another’s blog only when you have something worth saying.
I usually tick “like” to let them know that I visited – unless it is a post I do not fancy (for me, vulgarities is a definite turn-off). Many bloggers, especially the start-ups, need the encouragement of a small tick – and I have discovered some very interesting bloggers who hardly have hits.
God bless you and your lovely family,
Eric
Dear Eric,
You know that women most of the time like to know a lot about someone, even if it is not their business. I am no exception therefore I have nominated you for this challenge so that my curiosity finally can be satisfied, read this:http://wp.me/p1ZC80-GN
Love and hugs
Steph
Oh, now would you…
Hmmm…okay, let me post after Valentine’s because I’m behind on my poems, as you know.
Meanwhile, lots of hugz from a friend, Eric
Eric
You have a very uplifting and inspirational blog. Thanks for visiting mine as well.

Thank you and all the very best with your blogging. Cheers, Eric

Dear Anil,
Stephanie is a lovely and loving person. I am not surprised she nominated you for this award. Reading your story…you are one tough family and living in HIS arms.
Thank you for thinking of me. God bless and peace, Eric
Hello, Eric, and thanks for stopping by on my blog. Seems we have quite a bit in common. I also work in business and consultancy, and have written articles and books in that field for many years now. But I feel the need to have a more creative outlet, so, like you, I am experimenting, writing, sharing, just keeping the creative habit alive! Look forward to reading more from you. Good luck with your exploration!
Dear Marina,
Great to have you visit and comment. I plan to trawl your blog too.
All good cheer, Eric
i’ve nominated you for the liebster award. i think i put a rather long note on your “about” page
God bless & love always…

Hello, Eric. Thanks for dropping by and liking my poem, Katzenjammer. Also want to say “Congratulations” on your various blogging awards. I’m looking forward to reading some of the thoughts & poem you’ve shared.
Christine
Just letting you know that I gave you a versatile blogger award- no pressure to take part; but if you do wish to know what it entails, just click my link http://nocturnefirefay.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/versatile-awards/
Congrats either way and have a lovely weekend.
Congratulations on winning this award
Well done indeed.
Thank you for thinking of me. I accept but it would take some time for me to get around to posting it, etc. if you don’t mind.
Wishing you a lovely weekend too, Eric
It’s no problem at all- like I said in the post and message to everyone I placed down, there is no pressure to participate or expectations from me involved here- So approach it when you wish to and when you are ready.-

Hello Eric, I just nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. If you wish to accept it please check this link: http://parryelwahey.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/blog-awards-round-two/
Hello Parry,
Congratulations on winning this award. Well done indeed.
Thank you for thinking of me. The Liebster is for bloggers with less than 200 subscribers which disqualifies me. However, I do thank you for the thought and shall post an acknowledgement when I grab sometime.
Wishing you a lovely weekend, Eric

Dear Lynda,
Coming from a fellow author, this is high compliment. And if this is your idea of ‘hate’ – I can use all the ‘hate’ I can get
Congratulations to you too for having won this recognition from fellow bloggers.
All good wishes,
Eric
I’m so glad you stopped past my dirtywordlaundry poetry blog and liked some of my stuff. It gave me an opportunity to come over here and check you out. Boy I’m glad I did. Your writing is amazing. It’s so lively and truly makes for a great read. I definitely be following so I can keep up with all the ‘goodness’ going on over here.

Dear Anil,
Congratulations on winning the Sunshine Award – I know of no one more deserving.
What a welcomed gesture from one whom I deeply respect and admire. To be referred to as ‘friend’ by someone as tough as you, beats any award. Thank you very much.

Rebekah
Dear Rebekah,
You are very welcome. We all need a leg up to help spread sunshine.
Peace, Eric
Dear Eric
Something strange has happened, someone I’ve never heard of posted this message on my blog:
Dear mrs (excuse me it’s miss!!!) lostupabove, would you be so kind to inform Mr. Alagan that he has been chosen for an award. I dare not tell him myself (says a lot about you I think) therefore I ask you to do it, if you would be so kind. He can find details here: http://wp.me/p1ZC80-JM
Apparently someone who knows you very well, but doesn’t know me. Anyway I’ve done what she’s (or he, there was no signature) asked me. Take a look and maybe you can let me know what it is, for I haven’t taken a look. after all it is not my business.
Love and hugs
Steph xxx
I wonder who that Mrs could be?
Thank you my dearest and naughtiest
person in Blogsville. The sun is shining brighter today.
Congratulations also for winning this award again (?) Anil is one great guy, isn’t he. He is one stout soul.
Luv and big hugz,
Eric
Indeed, again!!! dear Eric (but you far outnumber me). I don’t know if Anil is a guy or a gal, so I always choose my phrasings very carefully. Think I will ask him/her once.
As for the Mrs, that is supposed to be me, such an insult calling an innocent girl like me Mrs!! but I couldn’t tell you more than that or who she/he is.
Could you send some sun over, here it is a dull grey day.
Love and a big hug and congratulations.
Steph xx
Someone called you Mrs – probably that person is blinder than a blind bat. I hope that bat flies into a cliff – splat !!!
Anil is a very nice man.
One order of Sun with special toppings of rainbow lights and tinsel coming your way. Hope you love it.
Extra helping of luv and hugz for my dear friend,
Eric
Thank you lovely Eric, for the sun and for making things clear about Anil
Love and love and hugs and hugs
Steph xx (a blind bat indeed)

Was wondering where to post my Thank you to you =)
Thank you very much for “liking” my poems, I hope to read more poetry from you, your haiku-exchanges are impressive and very enjoyable to read.
My father grew up in Singapore so look forward to reading more about your fiction based there. =)
Thank you very much.
I enjoyed your poems and plan to revisit. Yes, the Mechanic Leigh episodes open short windows into the way we were in the 1960s…

Hi Eric,
Sorry for the delay; it’s been a crazy, busy week and now I’m here, reading your very kind words and am truly humbled. Thank you so much! You made my day even brighter (even though it’s pouring outside)!
Take your time with the award; I’ve been racing the clock all week and not winning! I will check my spam, thank you; I don’t check the spam often, so this is probably a good reminder…

Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to “like” my post, I’m happy you enjoyed it.
I did and will return. Cheers, Eric
Hey Eric,
Thanks for visiting my blog. It is in its infancy so it is nice to have at least on person enjoying the content. A quick question, do we need to worry about copyright or anything like this? I have some longer content I want to start publishing but as I’m new to the whole thing I’m just a bit worried. Any advice? Sorry to post this here but couldn’t find a way to contact you directly. Should I not worry and just start posting away?
Thanks,
Joe
Hello Joe,
No worries buddy – contact me here and if I am on line, I reply quickly or might get back to you in a day or two.
1. Your posts are interesting and I plan to return.
2. Post length: A suggestion, if I may. Keep your posts short – under 3 minutes’ read as most people simply don’t have the time to linger. But it is your blog and you’re the boss…
3. Copyright: Indicate that you own the copyright of the material you post. Check out how I and other bloggers do this. (Frankly, if someone plagiarises, you can’t stop them. But if the word leaks out they are damned by the blogging community).
4. Bread & Butter stuff: I suggest you don’t publish material meant for a forthcoming book – stuff you need to make money from – keep those under wraps. (I am posting excerpts from my novels – but these are established copyright material).
5. Credit: Also if you use anyone else’s stuff – please don’t forget to credit your source.
Hope I’ve been of some help.
All good wishes, Eric
Great help! Thanks for getting back to me. I am excited about this venture, having fun writing, and love reading what others out there are doing! Thanks again.
P.S. – What’s the etiquette for adding people to my blogroll? Should I ask their permission first? I have added you I hope that is ok.
No ‘etiquette’ as far as I know. People have added me without my knowledge – this is very flattering, humbling and drives me to be conscious about the quality of my posts. I thank you.
However, if a blog is filled with profanity or undesirable posts (racism, inciting to violence, etc) – then I and most people would not want any part of it.
If your blog is abused – you can contact the Support people in Word Press…
Cheers, Eric
Thanks and I will be conscious. No need for all that in a public forum such as this, especially when we are trying to share, re-create, or capture the more beautiful nuances of life. Thanks again for all your help.
Did I already tell you that you are a Chaotic person and also a creative one? Well I do know and before you get angry read this:http://wp.me/p1ZC80-Rs
Love and Hugs, Psychic Steph
Yup, I know and already thanked you for this
It is really great that Jen passed this on to you. She is a wonderful and sensitive person like you.
Then it is lovely you are passing it on to buddy Jane, Anil, Julie, Francina, Sirenia and Aslan – all of whom I read regularly and enjoy. I even know that Eric fellow and his jewels
Thank you. Luv and hugz

Hi Eric,
Thanks for liking my posts (http://hendritan.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/the-guest-house/, http://hendritan.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/save-trouble/). May I know how did you find it? Do you have any feedback? If you have, do you mind sharing it? I’m very new so your input must be a great help. Thanks in advance ^-^
Regards,
Hendri
Hello Hendri,
I have to be candid. Many have asked for frank opinions – which I had foolishly given. It cost me time and more. One or two – took it with maturity and good spirit. Most became combative and angry with me. Do I need this aggro? I wonder…
Please advise.
Peace, Eric
Hi Eric,
If you don’t mind, please go ahead. Inputs are needed to improve. At least, that’s on my humble opinion. Thanks in advance ^-^
Regards,
Hendri
One: To attract and retain readers, you must post great content.
Two: Keep your posts short – as short as possible. Time is precious and people will not normally want to linger long in any blog.
I see. Thanks a lot for the inputs. All the best ^-^
Thanks for your visit to my blog Eric. So far, I’m liking it here
