Contest! Real Prize! Milestone!

Sometime tonight (Hong Kong time) the 10,000th visitor will view this blog. How can you tell? Go 3/4 the way down the sidebar and check the site meter, just under the "Movable Type" thingy.

If you are number 10,000 then leave a comment in this post. You and only you will receive a special prize.

For the other 9,999 visitors I hope everyone's enjoyed what they've found so far. Thanks for your support and lack of comments. It really makes it worthwhile when I bleed and sweat into a great post, only to get nothing back.

Back when this blog was just a twinkle in my eye, it got 5 visits a day, 4 of which were me checking if anyone else was visiting or if the format was OK, and the other being my parents or brother. Now look. People from all over the world with nothing better to do visit it to fill in a spare 10 minutes of their day.

What did we all do before the internet?

I'm sure I'd post comments here more if it wasn't for the fact that I'm usually lingering on every word Helen types... and then struggling to come up with a very insightful and funny comment to post. (I'm sure she'd agree that I haven't managed to accomplish that yet.)

I came, I read, I voted. (uh, and not just because Helen told me to!)

Good luck, mate!

Heh, yeah, blogging gets really addictive, huh. I vaguely remember what a blog-free life was like, but it's all so hazy now. :P Anyway, yeah, it's great how you get a chance to meet all these cool people from all over the world, as well as have a chance to catch a glimpse of what life is like on the other side of the globe.
