First Post: An Introduction

Hello fellow bloggers and readers who happen to stumble upon this blog, for bloggers, please drop by more frequent and probably we could do an exchange of links. As for readers, do drop your comments. I'm going to do a self-introduction about myself. Basically you can call me "spooky" and it is part of a larger entity which is the C-130 spooky, a gunship used by the US air force during the Vietnam War. The blog's address also corresponds to my nick; an aircraft once commissioned, would have its maiden flight but this time I decided to personalise it and hence call it "my maiden flight". However, again this has a larger symbolism in that this blog would centralize around a single theme - that is, 'Finance'. I would like to use this blog to communicate with the world about my journey to achieve what many people termed it as "Financial Freedom" I would also like to share with you this quote by Norman Brinker - Begin with the end in mind. Just thought that it is a rather short and sweet quote that holds a lot of meaning to me. What made me start this blog, amid so many other blogs around the blogosphere that has the same theme. Firstly, to share with those who have a vested interest in achieving financial freedom or to some, strike their first pot of gold by a pre-set age, about my own journey on what I am doing or had done in the past to achieve my own goal. Secondly, after being inspired by many blogs such as fivecentstencents.blogspot.com, musicwhiz and many other websites and blogs that I have read, I decide to open this blog so that, being such a young investor now, I would like to share my experience with these "mentors" and hopefully they can also guide and prepare me as all of us share the same goal in one way or another.

A little more about me. Firstly, many people would first be interested to know about the age, as this also indirectly represents the avaliable time horizon for any investor and well, I'm at a tender age of 21 this yr, fortunate enough to receive a good education and preparing to enter uni. Would probably share with you that I'm going to Smu doing a degree course that expected working age would be 26, 4 years shy from thirty, hence I believe that it would be difficult for me. Everyone, say hi to C-130 spooky as I shall take you on my maiden flight

~Cheers and enjoy
