The prelude

January 1, 2017

For the first time in my life I made a New Year's resolutions list.
Not because I like making lists, or I like beating myself up when I'm likely to break one of the resolutions. No, I've realised of late that life passes by very quickly. So in this bustling city that I work in, to say to oneself and to other people, "I'm too busy to do... x, y and z", is simply not a suitable excuse.

So my resolutions for this New Year are:-

  1. Write a blog
  2. Cook more
  3. Spend more time with my wife, family and friends
  4. Make the most of every opportunity
  5. Have fun

So, here it is. A New Year, a new blog.
Bear with me. I'm no writer, but I hope by regularly writing, I'll become a better one.

I'll keep you posted on the progression of the other aforementioned resolutions.
