At very long last....my book is launched!!

Hi there!

As promised, I'm back to keep you all posted about my upcoming book.

Well, I am very happy to announce that my book was finally launched at MPH Subang Parade on 14th April, 2012 at about 3pm. Family and friends attended the simple launch.  Having to stand up in front of a crowd and do a speech was not really my cup of tea! Especially,when I found out there wasn't a podium for me to hide behind!

Somehow, I got through the speech thingy and soon, we were launching my book! Phew!

The big signboard for the launch 


Wow...copies of my book all lined up at the counter :)


Ladies & gentlemen, I give you the highlights for the day.....my book, my book!! See the huge replica of my book in the front?

 More photos of my book, it's pretty thick....350 pages!!

As you can see, the photos were taken by my new friend and a fellow tourer, Azizan Zolkipli (Do check out his blog http://networkedblogs.com/wzgGL) and the good people at Cycling Malaysia Magazine :)


 
I had to do a bit of book signing after the launch....it was an unusual feeling, people wanting my autograph!



Hmm, would you like to have a sneak preview of my book?  Oh well, here it is....enjoy! :)

Checking out the kampung houses......


Historical sites.....

and green paddy fields!

Caught your interest? Retailing at RM39.90, you can get a copy from any MPH, POPULAR and other major bookstores nationwide. Otherwise, you can also order through mphonline.com. Just search under the book title or my name or drop me a comment if you cannot find the book in your area.

By the way, here's the link to the book review from the good people at Baikbike.com :)

Lastly, I would like to send out an important message to everyone out there.....please share our roads with us cyclists. Let us learn to be more patient and considerate on the roads.  Thank you :)

  1. I bought your book last Saturday 21/4/2012 at SACC Mall ... congratulations Sandra! A great effort on your part although I think MPH should do a better job of proofreading the material because there seems to be missing words here and there.

    1. Thanks Nazrul for your support :) My editor and i have gone through the whole manuscript 8 times and still, we missed out some words...

      Anyway, will amend accordingly and hopefully, it'll be better the 2nd run....

      Thanks again for your support!
