My First Chinese Read

I enjoy Cai Kang Yong's talk shows and because of that, decided I should give his books a shot. My first Chinese book (since my secondary school text book). I took a long time to complete it, I must say. But it is a really good book. He looks at routine stuff with a different perspective. The book is written as though he's speaking to an unborn child - warning the child of things he should be wary of when he comes into the world, offering advice, asking for opinions etc. I must admit that there are words (many many) I can't make out but I do manage to understand the short stories overall. Maybe it's time for my second... (book, not child :-)
