Singapore to Beijing on a Bike by Khoo Swee Chiow KHOO SWEE CHIOW made history when he completed the Adventure Grand Slam, conquering the North and South Poles and the Seven Summits. A man driven by adventure, Swee Chiow is constantly in search of the next test that will push him to the extreme. In 2003, he embarked on another challenge: To cycle from Singapore to China, in search of his roots and in the name of friendship. In this journal, he lets us ride pillion as he pedals across 8,000 km into Malaysia (and his place of birth in Port Dickson), Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, before reaching his final destination, Beijing. More than a travelogue, this account gives a deeper insight into what motivates the man – that even in his darkest, lowest moments, Swee Chiow finds hidden reserves to soldier on and achieve his “impossible dreams”. |

The Angel
Of Changi & Other Short Stories by Goh Sin Tub This collection of 65 short stories is Goh Sin Tub’s finest. The very first account, “The Angel of Changi”, unveils a Singapore war heroine most Singaporeans haven't even heard about — yet she’s been honoured in Australia. And as you read on, you'll discover the quintessential Sin Tub: His vignettes may be touching, funny, serious, tragic or triumphant, but they all salute the understated, heroic Singaporean spirit. A pioneer of Singapore literature, Sin Tub passed on soon after the completion of this book, aged 77. |

The
Last Paradise On Earth The Vanishing Peoples & Wilderness Of Northern Burma by Wade Brackenbury Amid the ring of ancient snowy peaks that encapsulate the many heads of the Irrawaddy River, an area that falls primarily in Burma, lives a group of unique people indigenous to this region. The remote landscape they call home may seem pristine but this tranquility is under immediate threat. Since its independence in 1948, Burma has been ravished by near continuous civil war and ethnic conflict, leading to the loss of thousands of lives. Communities have been destroyed, families uprooted, and poverty and illness have wracked the country. Despite the conflict, the remaining inhabitants carry on their existence peacefully. Through memorable, never-seen-before pictures in a photographic diary of his travels, writer and explorer Dr Wade Brackenbury tells the fascinating story of the Christianisation of the people, and outlines the region's geography and history, examining what the future holds for a part of this world he has come to love. In his sensitive portrayals, Wade shares a privileged insight into what is perhaps the last paradise on earth. |

In relating his true-life story, Ravi Pillai hopes to nourish and refresh others, and strengthen their faith in the power of the living God. |
