Thank You

Somehow, I saw a HUGE jump in readership, especially this few couple of days over the weekends. So I realise, I was on 'Blog of Note' there at blogger.com. Wow, it is indeed my pleasure (and pressure heh) to be on there and maybe my blog is RED enough to capture the editor's attention.

So to those people who left messages on the previous posts, I just want to thank you for your words of encouragement because it really mean ALOT to me. I've just been on my new job and a little busy to update constantly so those words definitely kept me believing that there's still potential for this site :)

And to those who asks me to review/have a look at your website, would you guys mind providing me the full link on your post right here? It is so to make my life a little easier and I can just click and I promise I'll get back to you.

So there, less than a week to the kickoff to a brand new season and I can't wait, seriously. This should be our year...



to get at least 3rd I guess?
