Bookjetty Featured in Lianhe Zaobao

WED, 24 JAN 2007

You know, once in a while, you do strange thing in your life, like getting up early, buying Chinese newspaper even if you do not understand most of the words, and flipping through the pages eagerly to look for just one page to be immortalised (click image to view the entire article).

Ah…and I did that this morning, I stopped at a page with a word I could finally understand ‘BookJetty‘ and a face I am very familiar with.

My wife was on her way to work, we bought the newspaper together, and I showed her with a little pride that I have to unshamedly carry (We don’t get many chances to be featured in newspaper in our life, do we?) and a smile like this. :D.

Interview like this is invaluable for a small development house like Pluit, it is a sweet encouragement, and this kind of stuff keeps us going.

Wei, if you happen to read this, big thanks for the interview, and please help me to give a pat on your photographer’s back ehm… for such a great shot :).

Joe, my wife thought the previous one was too scary. I assume you agree with her.

Isaak, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that. :) Thanks!

I just realised something funny. The paper actually used the article to teach chinese. Haha. Do they do that on every single article? I\’ve never knew Lianhe Zaobao does that, how often do we have non-Chinese speakers read the daily anyway.

Keep up the good work. Will come by more often to check on the books you featured, cos I’m also a book lover too. Hmm, maybe I can find my book too haha

@LoveCoach Yeah it’s an exciting experience for me.

On books featured, anyone can feature a book by tagging loveit to their book, hm..you got a book too? Interesting. :)
