It's been awhile since we had our idea about the nomad, and all we had were empty ideas. But today, we finally put together all our ideas and put a timeline to it. We are still in the stages of defining our timeline and it will definitely be subject to changes but YAYY, we have something more solid to work on at least. And you guys, our viewers will know what to expect and you can even keep tabs on us :O
My timeline was written so long ago, but not acted upon and needed so much refining.

It's still really empty as you can see, but I'm sure that as we go along we will have to keep adding things in. It shall be like our personal calendar and we will put in appointment schedules with each other that is strictly for business. And we also decided to start a fund for our project, so if either nomad doesn't do their part, they will have to contribute to the Nomad fund on top of the normal contributions.
Abbas and I, being so different, coming together to make this project work, it's going to take hell alot of hard work, but it's def going to be worth it. We've had differences, we've had our frustrations, but at the end of the day, we still work things out and I believe we will continue to. I hope that the people around us can also continue to support us through this journey because the end result will be one that is of the likes of Narnia. Something amazing and beautiful.
So stay tuned for more :D
