An introduction to my blog


Today is my first day of blogging. Read my profile to learn more about me. As the title suggests, I will write about events in my life (be they trekking, competitions, etc.) or random but interesting issues on my blog.

My current display picture is that of a mantis shrimp, an interesting type of crustacean that has a very speedy punch (about 23 metres per second).

Actually, mantis shrimps are neither mantises nor shrimps. I guess they are named so because they resemble both species of animal. This species of mantis shrimp is also very vibrantly coloured, thus its name "Peacock Mantis Shrimp". I found this rather beautiful picture (my display picture now) on the internet. However, the video which I put up below shows a green mantis shrimp (which is a smaller species). I will also occassionally add in some interesting events that happened to me. Due to my tight schedule, however, I might not have the free time to write so many blog entries.

Most importantly, have fun reading!
