Do you still remember your childhood dream? What happen to it now? What happen to that kid who used to have a lot of dreams and thinks that he is unstoppable? Has he grown stronger over the years? or he has gone missing over the years because some stranger who was going nowhere criticized them and laugh at his dreams? What happen to that newly graduated young chap who was filled with dreams and passions and swears to set the world on fire?  Is he still there? Or instead, he is already burnt by the so call “reality”?  Maybe it was not lost, you just decided to delay it until you have made that certain amount of money, get married, wait till kids grown up….  etc. Somehow there are always something more urgent for you to attend. (Those dreams that are dearest to you always have to make ways for something so call”urgent”. It does not make sense right?) No matter how valid the reasons may sound, somewhere deep down inside you know it is not going to happen. It is just a lie. Occasionally at late night when you are alone, the dream will suddenly pop up out of no where and haunt you. You will feel that some part of you is missing. You will kept on wondering what would have been if you have taken that move? It will forever remain a mystery. Can you live with that regret? This was exactly how I felt at the age of 30. I felt that i have wasted 10 years of my life. My heart filled with regrets. I couldn't stop wondering if this continue through my 40's, 50's, 60's .....etc, it will be a nightmare. Well, I cannot undo the past, but i can do something about my future. I decided to change. Of course there are possibilities of failing, but at least I tried. I am in peace with my conscious and there will be less regrets.

When i told everyone in fatty lyn watsapp chatroom about my bike touring dream, zijill suggested me to blog the process. I think that it is a great idea (Thanks Zijill). Since i have a dream of writing a book before age 40 (thanks Joey Wong for the inspiration), this blog would serve as a platform for training. Initially i find it very time consuming and tiring, but soon enjoys it. What could be more fulfilling than recording down you own dream acomplishing process? This is actually how the blog begins. 

Thanks wai hong for the blog reference and jeff s support. I never knew that setting up a blog could be so tedious. Thanks Frankie John for helping to setup the blog despite his busy schedule. I would like to thank friends who gave input on the blog, family members /friends/ strangers who has guided me, inspired me and supported me on the journey of pursuing my dreams all these years. I would like to thank you for continuously reading and supporting the blog. Feel free to comment and provide feedback. But most important of all, i would like to thank god for making all this possible, enriching my journey.

Life is fill with endless possibilities. Stop giving excuse, have faith, go get it!
