I’m back a changed man!

First time here? You may want to read more about Rich Snail or even receive regular updates via a RSS feed reader or by email. Good read!

I’m just back from my trip in Europe. My left hand is slightly heavier now, and I am walking on clouds every morning thanks to delightful sugar notes. For those who don’t know me personally, I just got married 10 days ago in France. The ceremonies were beautiful, the reception was a great success, the bride was the elegant and gorgeous queen of the night, and the following day reception (rebond as we say in my region) was simply great !

Apologies for not updating this website over the past month, I’m sure you’ll understand a marriage is a serious business ! I am now back to good old Malaysia and will resume updating with a newly-wed-resolution: I shall do it at least once a week!

Change in this blog…

I started this blog with the idea to “help individuals with their personal finance, and of course learn many new things along the way”. I waited quite while before writting my first line because of “too much thinking, hesitating and procrastinating”. Reading back on these lines I realize that I set myself obstacles from the start !

I am now back to the starting line in terms of what do I want to do with this blog. I tried for a few months to get it going on the subject of personal finance, with a twist towards expatriates; but I have difficulties getting in front of the keyboard as often as I intended to - and feel guilty because of it. At times I simply don’t know what to write, at others I want to write about many many things, but which are not what this blog was created for.

I think I started with too high and focused objectives. I think I simply need to start my blog. Not one about personal finance, or SEO, or the latest digital wonders. A blog where I can come and write a few things when I want to, without setting myself obligations, where I would not hesitate one second to post 3 succeeding posts from the economist (yes, I’m still a fanboy!). A blog without a precise focus, where I can write everything that goes through my mind - if I feel like writing !

I am not sure this URL is the right one for such a blog. I may switch to a new domain name along the way; but for now, I’ll stick with it and see how things evolve.

I promise myself I’ll not think too much and simply get writing.

Sounds like a great idea right now !
