The first 19 stories in the collection trace the countless experiences and escapades of Ah Leong, inextricably intertwined with those of his family and friends. As the stories develop, Ah Leong comes of age, gets a job, falls in love, enlists in National Service, and learns, often with youthful ingenuity and zeal, how to sidestep some of life's complications. This book also includes two prize-winning stories: "Campfire" won 2nd prize in the 1983 National Short Story Writing Competition, and "Evening Under Frangipani" won 1st prize in the same competition in 1985. Both stories effectively explore the vulnerability of first love and the emptiness that follows.
