Never have I thought that it would come to a day where I journeyed through 50 years, still alive and kicking with most interesting moments to remember, and at the same time publishing my very first e-book!

It feels surreal, because it wasn't an immediate plan until this year—which is supposed to be another book.

However, my Most High the Almighty always has a different plan in HIS mind (Proverbs 16:9)

I kid you not. With full honesty

Perhaps HE wants me to learn all the tiny rookie mistakes while still sharing something prominent with HIS voice all over it.

It is not about me taking the glory, because after re-reading several times after the publishing, I realised that to be able to write in that kind of lens has nothing to do with my wits and knowledge. Because it isn't a perfect book; in fact, it is full of mistakes and stumbles encountered in my last 50 years, and yet, held together by this Mighty Nail Pierced Hand Who never let go the moment He caught mine.

I have to give all the glory to Him.

However due to the fact I had accidentally signed a copyright reserved priority print on Kindle (Rookie mistake), I had to honor that and I cannot openly sell a digital copy here on #hive with hive payment just yet; however if anyone who likes to have a Kindle copy can pay me with HBD with an encrypted memo with your email address so that I can manually purchase it on Amazon and send to you.

It will const 2.077 HBD at the moment, but let's just round it to 2 HBD

^{How the table of contents of the hardcopy will look like, but it won't exist in Kindle because they have a different way to display the book}

Though around 1/3 of the content actually relates more to Malaysia (especially "Part 2—Stability"), but it can serve as a reference where readers can start scouting benefits that is available in their own country. It's just the same concept; and many actually do not know about the tricks the financial institution works on.

Just a disclaimer: This is not a financial guru book, but an observation

And I hope all readers of this book will manage to spot theirs to make their money work for them.

Malaysians who prefers a physical copy can actually pre-order here while I finalise printers for details. I am hoping some of the beautiful pictures inside will be in colour instead of the usual greyscale design.

But rest assure that I will test them through first before actually running live for sale without long pre-orders anymore.

In the mean time, I am just grateful I still get to spend my 5th decade with my white haired "big babies" 😂 while God still allowed them to stay on until it is time to move on to the next.

It would be my great honour if the #hive community is interested in reading what Malaysia is like through the lens of Grace.

Until Then

Stay healthy, stay curious and learn new things, and stay happy!
