Blog 1.0

So this is how it is like to blog.

Welcome to the new online blog of Nicholas Chan from sunny Singapore, with this nicholas-chan blogger domain kindly gifted to me by an absolutely great guy, Nicholas Chan of nickchan.net from Penang, Malaysia.

Rather interestingly, there are a fair bit of similarities between us. The other Nicholas Chan is also very much a techie, a photographer and a member of the Chung Ling High School Young Entrepreneur club; I certainly look forward to catching up with him over a cuppa in Kuala Lumpur in the coming weeks.

The reason for the existence of this blog is primarily for myself to keep track of things as a personal record of my life, interests and on what matters to me; the corporate blog at Azione Capital would be where I would be sharing my views on my work and what is important in our times and markets. As it stands, I decided to start this personal blog out and see where it goes. Who knows, I may delete it in a week or two or maybe never.

I would want the focus of this personal blog of mine to highlight matters of which would fall outside the jurisdiction of my postings in the Azione Capital corporate blog; I would very much appreciate your insights into my thoughts. More importantly, the reason I went ahead with starting this personal blog (even though I find blogging a timesink) is simply because I have opinions and I don't mind sharing them with you.
