I have been neglecting my blog for somewhile. My usual excuse is that I have been too busy. Usual stuff.

I've been karting as well, but sadly too I have not been able to write much on the experiences. Over the past 30 days, I've had two karting events (round 2 of the 2006 KART series and round 1 of the Mega Enduro series), plus the 5th Foundation Conference.

In between that I've had a few discussions on my-KART's strategic developments. On the cards are plans to meet some charities, and getting to know some people in the industry.

It's the usual year end thing. You see, I'm an accountant - of sorts. Our company year end is december. So January is usually a hectic time for us as we close our books and the auditors come in. But typing this down is already boring, so I'll quit.

I guess karting is more interesting.

Anyway, a few weeks back a few of us my-kart guys paid a visit to Rosedi Kart at Subang Jaya. Subang Jaya navigation is not for the meek, I must say. With all the massive road works and the terminal & inherent traffic problems, you really need to know exactly how you are going to get to your destination. Otherwise you'd be stuck in a chronic traffic jam.

To round off 2005 for my-KART we kicked off with an Inter Company / Car Club ("IC3") Challenge. We even had a newspaper coverage in The Star recently. The participation was very encouraging and I have had a few enquiries from companies and car clubs about wanting to participate in 2006. The Star article did help alot - I received several phone calls that day. Problem is I may need to think of how to manage an entrylist of more than 12 teams....

 

One of the best things that I've been involved with outside of family and work is the things that Azlan and I started with my-KART.

my-KART started out as a way that Azlan and I could have regular kart races with our friends. We previously found it very difficult to get a good "quorum" individually so decided to "pool" our group of friends. We then formed the Yahoo mailing list and that was when the interest spread quickly - mainly thru word of mouth.
