Everybody has a story to tell

I'm a late starter. Have always been.

When Father brought home our first computer in the 1980s, I hardly looked at it. While the rest of the family pored over the new toy and eventually found multiple uses of it (Big Bro went on to become a computer expert, Younger sis 1 and 2, Younger Bro, even Ah Yi played games on it), I viewed it with contempt and happily joined Grandma as the only two people who were IT-illiterate.

When the rest of the world are already into the wonders of the internet, I had my babies and started my family, first with two, and later 4 kids. At the age of 30 when everyone else were already IT-savvy, only then did I start to learn how to use the computer.

And when e-buddy Krista first told me about this exciting new thing called blogging in the early 2000, I hardly took notice.

Only now, as the decade comes to an end, I starting my own blog, after numerous requests from various quarters. Late by many years, as usual. But better late than never, I'm sure.

With so many stories to tell, I hardly know where to begin! And with another 1001 things competing for my time, I'm not sure if this blog will be active. But at least I've tried.

So stay with this Ah Moi, as the stories unravel. If nothing else, I hope my stories will move you to laugh, cry, frown, think...or drop me an email in utter disgust.

That's what good stories are for, aren't they?
