Tweet...Tweet... We dunk the 50K marker

We did it; the half century mark on the hits. I am glad that you were there to do it.

Well, the new Chinese Rooster Year had just begun. Its the year of Fire Rooster, and it came crowing out loud. For myself, it was a great start too. The above is one of the achievements. And the Arthur is riding on well, into Chapter 100 now. I will be capping it at Chapter 120 and then begin on my other creative works which are bursting to be written.

I have in this year, to write a personal tale of my beloved grandfather or was it a re-write. I did a draft some years back and now its the time to delve into it will more gusto. And with some adventurous items to his life. He was born on 1900, migrated to Malays then, went into business, survived the war then in Malaya, rebuild his life and business and then lived onto 1979. I was with him since the age of seven till his death when I was sixteen ( Oops, revealing my age there.), but from him I learned a lot of things on life. He was formerly a chef, baker and father to ten children, of which two died during the war. A grandfather to his grand kids, and above all, the hero in my early stage of my life. I will embarked on his tale from his younger days to adulthood and then his old age. Its more for my kids to know who their great grandfather was. I will do it at my leisure during the weekends while other nights will be for my other tales.

Onto my other tales, I am thinking of one now; Beauty and Beast with a different panorama of the two with a more intense background. I am still working the plot; ironically I hardly do that in my earlier tales they came while my fingers typed. I must be getting old...

Without much ado, the rooster is never old and so will be this old 'cock' <Pardone me> at the tales.

So here's to 2017 may we continue being heroes in our life.
