Hello there!

On a whim, I'm back to blogging again.

I suspect that this sudden burst of enthusiasm will not last (as usual), but I'm trying not to be too fussed about it. It comes and go and really, who needs more to-dos on their to-do lists?

I accessed my blog again today to show a friend at work some of my grad trip pictures of Germany and Amsterdam in 2008. Of course it didn't stop there and I scrolled through other blog posts throughout the year (I started this blog in 2007 seriously??). Bad idea perhaps as I am now lamenting my lost youth and sniggering at how some of my friends have also aged.

Then, it struck me that how wonderful this self-indulgent and exhibitionist little piece of webpage is. It is a time-capsule, a photo album, a journal; a glimpse into forgotten memories and the silly goose I was at age 23, or 21, or 26. I realised that this blog is not so much for my audience (if any), but for myself as a convenient and hopefully perpetual repository of the bits and pieces of my existence. Yes, those frivolous, fun, depressing, whinny, exciting moments.

I'm taking baby steps by sharing my 28-on-28 trip over the next few posts. Fingers crossed - it will work this time.
