2) Scribbles from the Same Island
Neil Humphreys is back with more `Scribbles from the Same Island’. He is not rich, doesn’t own an apartment, and doesn’t have many expatriate privileges, but nonetheless manages to remain the same funny bloke happily living in the small estate of Toa Payoh in Singapore.
One year after his best-selling, ‘Notes From An Even Smaller Island’ had the whole of Singapore laughing helplessly, Neil Humphreys is still madly in love with his humble but stimulating existence on the sunny island of Singapore. So much, in fact, that he now makes a living poking gentle fun at every oddball aspect of Singaporean life. Expect to find more of his take on SPG, sex, doctors, toilets, farecards
all seemingly innocuous subjects but made hilarious through his witty observations.
Romance campaigns? Public transport system?Nothing is safe from Neil’s humorous scrutiny. Not even the unsuspecting creatures at the zoo, and certainly not the bawdy nightlife at Geylang.
3) Final Notes from a Great Island
The country’s best-selling author is back. After a decade in Singapore, Neil Humphreys has decide to move on to the land Down Under because he really wanted to spend time living among the world s most poisonous snakes and roo poo. But the British writer didn t want to leave the island he fell in love with 10 years ago without taking one final, ‘kaypoh’ look around the place. Embarking on a farewell tour from his Toa Payoh home, Humphreys vowed to explore Singapore as he did when he first arrived, on foot and unaware, taking in his favourite places, the ‘ulu’ haunts, the green spots, the clean parts and the dirty bits; the nation’s underbelly and its belly dancers. From Sentosa to Sembawang, Choa Chu Kang to Changi, St John’s Island to Johor (he got a bit carried away), Humphreys treks, cycles and even hitchhikes his way across this great island, encountering murderous dogs, dead cats, wild crocodiles, mad cyclists, terrifying transvestites, persistent prostitutes and half-naked ice cream vendors. Humphreys’ unique tour take in the glorious countryside of Lim Chu Kang, the serene beaches of Kusu Island, the history of Changi, the pristine public toilets of Raffles Hotel and the mating couples of Mount Faber to prove, once and for all, that there is so much more to Singapore than shopping malls. Honest, insightful and always funny, "Final Notes From a Great Island" is a warm, uplifting tribute to Singapore and every Singaporean (and tourist, employment pass holder and permanent resident for that matter) should read it.
