In conjunction with English Champ’s 2014 Recital on Saturday, 8 November 2014, Oh will speak at The Wembley Room in The Club, Bandar Utama, PJ, on how he started writing and his experience in writing the book.


His book will also be on sale at the recital venue.  Also an animal lover, Oh has pledged 50% of the sales profit from his book to PAWS.


Oh’s family members are very supportive of his book.  In fact, his older sibling was the one who had helped to design the book cover for him.  They will also be there to support his book sale. 


With his book published, it is an encouragement to other young students to write and publish books. As quoted by Audrey Hepburn, “Nothing is impossible because impossible means I’m possible”. Oh goes on to say that anyone can write a book, as long as the writer do not copy the ideas of others and stay true to one's idea. He also mentioned that aspiring authors should not worry about how thick the book should be. He believes in effort and belief in oneself.
