Her second book was Taxi Tales on a Crooked Bridge (Matahari Books, 2009), a non-fiction book based on her conversations with the taxi-drivers of Singapore, where she now lives. This quirky book also includes some poetry and photography. It debuted at No. 2 on the MPH Local Non-Fiction best-seller list for the week ending 17 May 2009.[3]
