So I still did not managed to get any job or get called-in for a job interview. (Actually, I did not send in any job application despite seeing a lot of vacancy in Jobstreet) Why so? One may ask. Because I am filled with work already. My SOHO job.

Just take a look at my noticeboard.

Lots of work, huh? Enough to get me brand new log bedroom furniture if I want. But nah… And mind you, that picture was taken about a week ago. The workload has increased!

I don’t know ’bout you, but I’m beginning to love my work-from-home job. Not that I don’t like to work in an office, the truth is, I’ve been to a few job interviews and ALL of them couldn’t offer me a salary figure that AT LEAST about the figure that I was earning back in the West… Not trying to show how picky I am, but at THIS age and the amount of experience I have, offering me a salary of RM1,500 or RM2,000 is quite..rude. Maybe if I am a fresh graduate, maybe I’ll consider. Or at least if it’s a 5 days a week and 8 hours per day working, I might consider. But to work 12 hours per day?

I’d rather eat fresh creams.

But this thing I’m working on, I can say that it’s starting slow but steady. I have a feeling that the year of Dragon will be kinder to me.

I had such a lousy week, you guys. I coughed too hard and water kept coming out of my eyes and nostrils. Not only did I have a bad week, I also had to endure painful menstruation TWICE in 2 weeks! OK, let’s not go into deep info now. Ha ha

So I strike ‘Jackpot’ this week. I got the project from the state govt! Yay me! I am to design a new website for this particular dept in Sabah..and I am all psyched about it. Maybe ini lah yang dikatakan ‘blessings in disguise’. I lost ALL my design works and expensive font collections when my laptop passed away suddenly.. and to top it off, I had to fork out my savings to get a brand new desktop. *sigh* But at least the income I’ll get from the project will double the amount of money I spent on my brand new desktop. Thank you, Lord! :-)

With this new project, I might be going out more often than I prefer..you know, meeting with them guys at the dept to see what ‘feel’ they would really like to see on their website and all. Maybe investing in a good tanning supply would be a great idea right now, since I’m gonna get tan from all this outing afterall. *hee*

Anyway, I am to submit 3 different design suggestions.. and I’m already done with 1! (slept at 3am last night..just working on it)

Now back to work I go.. but where’s my teh susu???!

Remember my first violin? Well.. I still have it, I just didn’t master it. Yet. Ha ha ha! I know, I know, it’s been an awful long years and I am still a beginner.

Well last week, we went hunting for my studio table when we spotted a music school with a ‘violin’ as a logo. I instantly thought of my poor old violin and how it could be glorified with a great playing by me, if only I could play that well lah… so I thought, why not sign up for a violin class? ..And then we arrived at the furniture shop and I TOTALLY forgotten all about the class. *sigh*

Maybe I’ll get Bunny to drive me there this Saturday to inquire about their lesson. Maybe sign up for a keyboard lesson as well and try my fingers on those yamaha dgx-505! But then again…. my poor old violin is back in the West, sitting somewhere in the corners of my brother’s condo. LOL
