Hi there guys ….

Yea, I’ve succumbed to blogging too. Been thinking of doing this for quite a while already (since IMO), at least it would be a place for me to collect my thoughts, record what I’m thinking and feeling. Give me time to figure things out and see where it goes. Everything is copyrighted, and I assume all responsibility for typos or errors.

I’ve no idea what to expect from this. All attempts to keep a diary or record have failed so far, so lets see how far this can last k? I’ve no idea what to put up here, but I’ve some ideas forming already. Typing this 11 km up in the air listening to Jamie Cullum Twenty Something. Korean airlines is quite good, have video on demand too J

Well, been wanting to type out a list of people that I’ve been meaning to say thanks to, it’s going to be long, but well, its my blog. Lets attempt to do this in some order. I don’t care if the people are not going to be seeing this
