This is the first book I picked up and read from C.S Lewis, the author more well-known for the Chronicles of Narnia which became a blockbuster movie.
I especially liked his direct, simplistic and clear manner of writing. So I reproduce here some exerpts from a chapter of his book, Mere Christianity.
Chapter 8: Is Christianity Hard [...]

Yes, I saved the best for last.
After Halong Bay, I sat in another few hour’s car ride to the most northeastern part of Vietnam.
The area is called Meng Cao and it’s Vietnam’s border with China.
In the pic above, the buildings at the far background is China. And these boats normally transport goods between the 2 [...]

Presenting Halong Bay….(view from my hotel room)
Halong Bay is a beachfront resort-like area for Vietnamese to come and enjoy the sun, sand and the sea. There are many stalls selling trinkets, t-shirts and souveniors but I found many items to be expensive and rather outdated.

Next I went for a 4 hour road trip towards Halong Bay.
If you can drive in Vietnam, you definitely got the license to drive anywhere else in the world. There are hardly any traffic lights, and there are so many motorcyles on the road. Traffic is weaving in and out from your left and right, [...]

In case you were wondering, I am now in Vietnam, and Halong Bay is as scenic as the pic on my header bar.
In fact, the view of the 3,000 islands is especially spectacular. Better than Phi Phi Island.
I promise to upload some pics when I get back. Till then.

Singapore’s first F1 race…coming real soon…..
Went for a free preview of the F1 to come to our shores come September.
4pm to 6pm on Sunday at the long straight road along grand old City Hall. I tell you, the engine was loud man. Can’t wait to actually see a race live.
There is really something about men [...]

Gosh! I cannot believe that I have actually joined the blogging community. I suppose it was just a matter of time.
Things had to be set in motion. Some sort of domino chain of events.
Well, I guess my Primary School buddy Kenneth Pinto had a hand in it. From the request to post my facebook primary [...]
