My travel-o-rama

You know it's been long since you blogged when you want to get to your blog site to begin to type in your new post, but you just can't seem to remember the URL of your blog site...

It's been that long, yes, but for a reason. Actually it's because I've been busy. Busy travelling across the world, catching up with friends and family in different parts of the world, settling in and acclimatizing in new locations, and trying to catch up with work and career, which I had been neglecting for a while now.
