Xu Bin in "On Foot with Dasmond - Maldives"

Everybody knows Xu Zheng Rong (Dasmond Koh, 许振荣)
from 93.3fm as a DJ and variety host on TV.

He's been trying his hand at directing movies and photography.
And has churned a pictorial titled
"On Foot with Dasmond - Maldives".

In the coffee table book, the key subjects are
the sandy beaches of Maldives and Singapore celebrity XU BIN.

Email to admin@noontalk.com for purchase of the book if you're interested.
The book was officially launched on 8 Dec 2013 through online reservation.
I think it will be available at bookstores at a later date.

Dasmond actually has an earlier pictorial book that was shot in Spain.
Not sure if it's still available.
