Why I Write ...

Purely as a form of expression to the emotions that run riot in my life at different junctures. This blog has seen several title revisions that also reflect the state of being and evolution I am constantly in. If one were to remain stagnant in hope of never changing their temporal present, one will awaken someday to much regret. Life is about living, evolving and adapting to the constant changes all around us.

My spot on the web is essentially a journey along with my monologue ramblings of my coherent mind accompanied by the incoherent thing called life. Read me if you like ... if you don't it is not the end of the world. I am at the very least a believer in humility lifts us further than pride.

Happy trails

Talk On Autism & Asperger's Syndrome

This bit of information is shared by my blogger buddy AD and I think it's worth sharing in view of the limited access to material and information on living with autism in Malaysia. Please kindly share the information with as many people as you care to. And help educate the public.

much thanks,
