The year started with my first duathlon at East Coast Park with 10km run, 40km bike and 5km run. As expected, came in at the tail end of the age group. But nevertheless a good experience as the race started at almost 12 noon.

2 months later, it was 40km OCBC cycle ride. They closed the ECP expressway and it was a good feeling riding at the wide expressway.

Another 2 months later, my second Sundown Marathon event. The jam into the Changi Exhibition Centre was horrible as usual.

Less then 1 month later, it was the Tri Bike event at Changi Coastal Road.

Signed up for my first mini Triathlon on Aug, but did not have a chance to start as the whole family went to Hong Kong for holiday.

The North Face 100km Duo was on mid Oct. It was unfinished business as i DNF last year. After many Sunday training sessions at MacRitchie and Bukit Timah, i managed to complete it this year.

2 events on the last month of the year. First was the SCMS marathon followed by 2 weeks later the MR 25 Ultra marathon at MacRitchie. Both with worst timing than last year.

Compasspoint.

World's largest floating book fair in S'pore for first time - Channel NewsAsia

World's largest floating book fair in S'pore for first time - Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE : The Logos Hope, a ship carrying the world's largest floating book fair, is in Singapore for the first time.

The 132.5-metre-long ship will be celebrating "Christmas around the world" in Singapore.

It carries 400 volunteer crew members from 45 countries. Also among the crew this time are 11 Singaporeans who are excited to be home this Christmas.

The ship's first visit here was officiated by Minister of State for Transport and Finance, Josephine Teo.

Logos Hope offers over 5,000 titles of books at a fraction of their original cost to people in developing countries.

This is thanks to publishers who donate books that have been removed from circulation in first-world countries when new editions are released.

The goal of Logos Hope is to help people through social service projects and good literature.

Logos Hope is operated by GBA Ships e.V., an international charitable organisation in Germany.

Over 40 million visitors have passed through the organisation's onboard book fairs in over 160 countries and territories since 1970.

Mrs Teo said the ship was more than just a floating book fair.

She said: "I hear that the crew and staff of Logos Hope also help those in need through a range of activities wherever you call at a port. You donate supplies, help build infrastructure, and engage in community interaction through sports, origami, educational exhibitions, workshops and conferences on diverse issues such as marriage, AIDS awareness and healthcare."

Logos Hope will open to the public at The Promenade, VivoCity from December 17 until December 29.

Entrance is free, but children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

The ship will be open from 10am to 10pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and from 3pm to 10pm on Sunday and Monday.
