Hello 2017. Goodbye 2016. I am looking forward to 2017. I will be starting a new career, and finally after trying out different options and career paths in the last few years, I am finally embarking on one more truer to heart - and for that I am thankful. In 2016, I experienced first hand the difficulties of the construction / M&E industry. Rarely have I been pushed to my limits, but there were many instances when I felt both lost and out of depth.

The Sapphire was a marked difference to my other cruise experiences, which were limited to Star Cruises operated by Genting.

One aspect could be through education and with the variety of MOOC courses currently, I figured I should attend one such course to pick up some knowledge in this arena. …

I have decided to set up a personal page on Github, and currently in the midst of migrating my past blog posts over from Blogger. I have been dabbling with computers, web design, python, wordpress, php / mysql, django and the likes, but really just scratching the surface for each of them.
