Really.
I submitted some photo, and then I accidentally got my name featured in a book.
Hin Ching invited me to a book launch. He said “I am inviting you over as a friend, not to cover this event as a blogger”.
Why?
“Because your name is credited in the book—you contributed some photos. We’re giving you the book for free, as credit”
I was like, “eh? really meh? seriously bahhhhhh”
For a moment, I thought I have to give speeches and such…
“I tenkiu my papa and mama for making me so handsome, and haz the given talent to take nice photos, so I can contribute towards this book but still ultimately making me so handsome, yadda ydadda yadda…”
“Just come—and sit there”, said Hin Ching.
The photo on the left is Kota Kinabalu’s new Mayor.
Ehh?? How come I don’t know Kota Kinabalu has a MAYOR one? since when we have mayor ah? KK so small also need mayor meh? Give me some authority, I’ll remake the whole city again (and at least one pub every 10 foot steps).
Uhm, I don’t remember his name unfortunately.
On the right side, is Datuk Masidi Manjun, our Sabah’s tourism minister. I respect this guy—look at how Sabah’s tourism boomed all these years. He must have put lots of effort in promoting Sabah.
If I continue to blog about KK stuff in this blog, I’ll replace his seat in 3 years time. No doubt!
Uiseh man. Just kidding, if not I kena tangkap by ISA.
New books on table. For a split second, I thought I saw two large sperms as the book cover. Hehehehehehe.
No disrespect for the photographer though, it’s an awesome shot.
Just that my dirty mind… haih. Hopeless brain I haz.
Wah, if someday I become really famous liao. Will I get so many camera flashes too?
I wonder if those datuks and celebrities suffer epilepsy ..
CHAK CHAK CHAK CHAK CHAK. What a wonderful sight 
(and wonderful sound too)
Hin Ching is grabbing a book for me. Another book added to my book shelf, ohhhhh yes!
/orgasm
The book is called Kota Kinabalu and Surrounding Areas. Written by Wendy Hutton. Oh my god, written by a gwai poh! Shame on KK folks, no one took the effort to write a book about our culture and land, written by foreigners pulak.
Okay. stop talking about others. Now talk back about myself 
This is my first time appearing in a BOOK. Everyone has their first time.
So, I was featured in newspaper for few times, but not in a book. My next target is to appear in magazine.
>>> Men’s Health Magazine <<< to be exact.
… and appear as model of magazine cover.
need to shed off at least 30kg first lah.
These two are the photos I contributed. Taken this photo many years ago at Salut seafood restaurant.
HHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEE. My name was featured in a book! Even only small contribution, but that’s enough.
My name is in book leh, you got or not?

Well done mate! So which one is the first target? Men's Health or Mayor/Tourism Minister?
Hmm, a free book is really rather cheap payoff for using your photos. Technically you should be getting some royalties or some monetary compensation at the very least. Considering how those photos would probably be property of the publishers/author or something. Haha ask yslo he could probably tell you more.
