""i'm only eighteen, i don't know anything!"": a story of graduating from youth

A confession in every sense of the word, this is a record of the author's journey through Singapore's educational system. It's a glimpse into the interiority of a student; a relic of a schooling experience that, while far from definitive, provides prescient insight. At the same time, it is a bold, unflinching confrontation of the weight of life (and death) itself. Lim's versatility as a writer is illuminated in the threads of his everyday life, woven into a vibrant tapestry of vivid emotion and candid expression.

This manuscript is divided into six poetic story arcs, each detailing a different aspect of Lim's life from beginning to the present day.
