Soo Ewe Jin passed away peacefully on Nov 17, 2016. He fought his fourth battle with cancer bravely. His legacy lives on, as those who were inspired by his life continue to "do small things with great love" and to bring light to dark places.

The book is out!

Yeah, the book is out. 3,000 copies have been printed and nearly half have already been ordered by friends, support groups, oncology wards, etc. In these past few days, I managed to pass on to those who are not so familiar with my journeys. I am glad they are encouraged by the book. For those of you who may be viewing this blog from overseas, please click on the link to the right for a pdf version. If you would like a print copy please email me at ewejin@gmail.com. Please do not post comments here as I cannot connect with you through your postings. :)

Latest edition of Face to Face with Cancer out soon

The latest edition, the sixth in the series, will be out soon. This will include the third journey as well as selected material from the earlier two journeys.

Gone to the jungle to see the falls...

Recently, my wife and I, plus a few friends, went jungle trekking. It was a great adventure indeed as we connected with nature. Here is the link to the pictures via Picassa.
