A little too much information for a children's book

Friday, January 18, 2008

Read an article somewhere about a person who wrote the initials "YTB" on everything he agreed on. Could be a book, when a good idea was suggested, he would underline the entire sentence and wrote the initials "YTB"

Well, the initials "YTB" meant - "Yes, But How?"...Generally, the author suggest in life we often agree on a lot of things. For example, " I wanna be rich!" <--- Yes! But we often failed to ask how? So! In short... YTB! You agree on something...YES! but ask yourself how?

So, one of the things that I always wanted to do was to finish reading the most porpular book of all time!

No..its not Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! its The Bible!

According to some resources..

In the last forty years alone the eight new Bible versions published in English have sold well in excess of 100 million copies. Worldwide sales of the Good News Bible (1976) stand at over 7 million; the New English Bible (1970) has sold over 10 million; about 23 million copies of the Living Bible have been bought since 1971; and sales of the New International Version topped a million copies within less than a year of its publication date in 1979. Even King James's allegedly outdated Authorised Version of 1611 still brings in every year over a million pounds in revenue for its publishers. The Bible is without doubt the world's bestselling book. And if to these mind-boggling commercial publishing statistics are added all the Bibles distributed freely in the UK and throughout the world by the Gideons (over 70 million copies) and the Bible Society (a staggering estimated 1,000 million), the numbers of Bibles produced must far outstrip anything ever printed and published in the history of mankind.

Anyway, I want to finish reading the Bible in a year? Yes, But How?

And this is how :-

Yeahh, its a devotional book containing 365 devotion materials to be read everyday, and a guide to read certain amount of scriptures in the Bible. So, just follow it everyday... and in one year you could finish reading The Bible!

3rd place in KSC Endurance Race

Recently, I participated in a go-kart endurance race organized by Kelab Shell Cyberjaya (KSC).

This was my 1st time competing in an endurance go-kart race....

The race was held in Speedway PLUS Karting Circuit, located at USJ Rest & Restaurant Area along ELITE PLUS Highway, USJ Subang Jaya

Here is how the track looks like :-

Track Length: 1,070 meters
Width: 10 meters

So since its an endurance race, per-team we had 3 drivers. The length of the endurance race was 45 minutes, so each driver basically had to drive 15 minutes each.

Not easy I tell ya...very demanding physically and mentally... and just like F1 we needed to plan our pit stops right and choose who goes out 1st and etc...<--- just like F1! yeahh right!

So we decided that the heaviest driver should go 1st... Since the logic was that as the race goes on, the kart will eventually get lighter (less fuel) and with the lighter weight driver on board ... it'll mean quicker lap times for us.

And NO...I wasn't the 1st driver in case you're wondering...

So, with the strategy all in placed... all we needed to do was drive the kart like we stole it! Was actually my 1st time karting in this track too...I've never driven in this track before this and we won 3rd place! wooohoooo....

So here are some pics of the event
