I've arrived...later than planned

Oh well, you ever notice as often as I do that somethings just don't go as planned no matter how hard you try?
Well, that's precisely the case with me - I wanted to do something symbolic with the New Year and on a personal level, I wanted it to be my move from blogcity to blogspot - I mean my official move.
I wanted to mark my official move with a blog on the first day of the new year but alas, the broadband ISP here (read as Streamyx from TMNET) decided not to function when I most needed it to work.
Forgive me if I'm wrong coz I'm no highly tech savvy blogger, but how come just about every other month or so, even when the hardware and software are working their best, there can't be stable internet connection established?
It takes a lengthy wait to be entertained by the ISP untrained customer service, an even longer time taken to explain the problem to them...all only for them to say something along the lines of 'create a new dial up connection and try again in about 10 minutes or so as I will have to reset some settings for you, ma'am.'
So much for being the pioneer in telecommunications as far as Malaysia is concerned.
Anyway, here's what I originally intended to brag about in relation to my official move to blogspot...

Not that this note is an invitation for a new blog-warming party of some sort, but it is merely meant to broadcast the fact that I've moved my blog activities from blogcity to here.
Why did I move?
I find that tough to answer myself, but if you wish to answer it on my behalf -- which I know some of you will attempt to do -- shoot right ahead via the comments link or e-mail me [if your comments are very damaging to my nothing-to-shout-about profile :-( ]
Am unsure what this move will bring about - but my fundamental personal hope is that, God willing, this move will spur me further to blog my thoughts frequently.
Primarily, my aim of blogging is to literally-speak-my-mind on all matters I wish to talk about...but the reality is harsh, isn't it?
We live in such a fast paced world that talking to one another is so sacred, often reserved for better, more important things in life.
As true, human communication takes a dip for the worse, most of us turn to blogging - maybe not even most, maybe it is just plain old me feeling lonely with no one to talk to about things that I really want to talk about.
On why I cherish talking and subsequently turn to blogging whenever there's no time and place to have a meaningful talk with friends and family is probably the single biggest clue -- reflective of my personal self and what I consider essential in life-- of my blogging adventure.
So now, it goes without saying that whether I blog frequently, get worse than my past blogging performance, write too much or too little, make it personal or keep it as an open book...whatever I do here, is not specifically meant to amuse the mind of the reader.
But if you're amused naturally - for positive or negative reasons, I won't cry foul of course!
However, I appreciate retorts distinctly on the lines of constructive criticism, friendly tounge-in-cheek comments cum good humoured sarcasm and virtual 'bashing' of me, myself & I.
Pheeew...coming to an end, what relieve!
That's some blogging for an intro, don't you think?
Here's a toast to celebrate more blogging and sharing of our respective thoughts on anything and everything...pour your heart out :-)
