Hoseyboh Twincharged September 9, 2018 Share September 9, 2018 This reminds me, is Chan Chun Sing from humble background too? I remember a movie acted by Aaron Kwok and Charlie Yeung about the rise of a mix blood orphan from the hk boatman community. Quite decent movie. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic September 10, 2018 Share September 10, 2018 (edited) Who would buy? Plenty of people la. They announce the launch 2 months in advance so all the civil servants and grass root lackeys have a chance to start saving up for the book. But already don't read nvm, but must put on your desk so people know you support pap. Edited September 10, 2018 by Kusje 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic September 10, 2018 Share September 10, 2018 (edited) Really if you want to write books... it should reflect your thoughts after retirement so that you can reflect back or introspect, not in active service But @Radx can write also in active service as his services never dies 1, now going into hibernation mode oso will come and haunt poor @Dach with his sidekick @Angcheek Edited September 10, 2018 by BanCoe 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those admin staff won't get for sure. No point since they are not looking to get promoted nor will it happen. And there will be some like my wife who will not waste money on it. Worse comes to worse, borrow from library and then put on your desk for 1 month. Edited September 10, 2018 by Kusje Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playtime Twincharged September 10, 2018 Share September 10, 2018 Really if you want to write books... it should reflect your thoughts after retirement so that you can reflect back or introspect, not in active service But @Radx can write also in active service as his services never dies 1, now going into hibernation mode oso will come and haunt poor @Dach with his sidekick @Angcheek Depends on why you are writing. He's not really writing memoirs.. he's writing a guidebook. This is to prepare for retirement, so when he leaves office (or even dies in office) future academics and journalist who value their rice bowls know what to say.. none of them mere mortals will dare challenge the words of gods. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
