You have been waiting for this one, haven't you? :)

Cheers,

Hey guys,
First thing's first, thanks for the great birthday party the other day. It was really nice, I could see that there was alot of effort put into it and it is greatly appreciated. I still can't get over the adoption of Nhon at the night safari. That is really cool. I am going to visit the night safari and the zoo soon when I can spare the time. I have been meaning to go for the longest time, We've got a real kicka$$ zoo, I heard its even better now, so that's great.
I actually read out my letter for this month at the party as those of you who attended will know, but I was reminded that not everybody was there so I figured I should write one for the website.
well, here goes, this last month was very eventful for me. I had life altering experiences both good and some utterly horrible, but I have come out of it ok, so no worries. I have learned what is important to me in my life right now. I've just turned 25. There's so much I want to achieve so prioritizing my was something that was much needed. Things that requires my effort will, things that don't, won't. You know what I mean?
Anyway, sometimes its abit frightening to think about the future especially in the fragile world of entertainment. But if I never try, I'll never know... its times like this that people need support, and that support has come in the form of my family, the few that I call my friends and you guys, my supporters that have been there even though I have been 'lying low'.
I was giving it some thought about one particular question that I answered at the party which I thought I could have answered better, I wouldn't want you to waste money on books that aren't worth reading. So, my favourite writers, I think that question is a little too general, I would name certain titles instead, I would only recommend "The Alchemist" from Paulo Coelho, but not his other stuff, I didn'tlike the rest. Bryce Courtenay's, "The power of one" is good, "The Crucible", from Arthur Miller, the Harry Potter's are a fun read, Neil Gaiman's work in general are very entertaining, "The screwtape letters" from C.s lewis not too bad either, "Brave new world" from Aldous Huxley, Mario Puzo's novels I enjoyed when I was in secondary school and in Junior college (especially "the Godfather"), so yea..thats it for now.
I've got so much to do, its neverending... but yet its good to be busy. All the best till I see you again.
Love,
Jon.
Thank you for your letter, Jon.
We are really glad that you love the adopted Douc Langur, Nhon.
In the meantime, catch up with you soon @ the upcoming event @SDC this Sunday!
@ 1:46 PM
