Wow, it's been almost a year since I started blogging. Cos for the past 12 months, I've organised a few workshops, took part in the Singapore River Regatta, undergone a minor surgery, got a few new classes, made many new friends, etc. so there was hardly any time left to write. Instead of writing for the sake of writing, I've decided to write only when there's an urge to translate my thoughts into words, to express my opinions, to write something I feel strongly about, or inspired by an act, thing or person. It's the beginning of 2009 so I hope to pick up a new skill. I haven't thought about it but I want to be reasonably good at it. This reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers", that 10,000 hours of effort, hard work and persistence can create success. Umm, practice makes perfect. Although the above pic is nowhere near 10,000 hours but it's definitely many many hours of sheer determination and exercise. Let's see what happens after a few months later.
