I found myself getting exhausted quicker than I used to. I walk up the stairs and already I’m panting at the 2nd floor. I did jumping jacks and I feel like my inner organs are bursting out of my chest. And NO, it’s not age factor. I’m just overworked lah. Ya read? Overworked.

I sleep very late at night working on my mini studio, I wake up when the sun rises (no thanks to my ever so faithful alarm clock – Chiko) and I am soooo tired by noon. And still I didn’t catch any nap: because there’s so many things to do! I wish I could go out and shop a little, because currently I am so crazy about incense. Yes, those sweet smelling stuff that clouds your house when you burn ‘em. Those things you see the priest burn during Easter mass. Those incense. Oh God, I could burn them all day and still not sick of the smell. In fact, it made my apartment smells like.. heaven. Ha! (If you guys are living around KK area, you can get these incense from either Daughters of St. Paul or at this shop selling holy items at Citymall. There’s also lots of holy items that you can buy as gifts for your family and friends. Like those tiny little girls first communion gift ideas they’ll show you if you ask. So cute!)

Where was I?

Ah. I was tired. Still am tired. Tonight, I’m gonna work on this blog for a client who’s giving away the blog design to a cousin of hers as Valentine’s Gift. LOL. Talk about belated gift. :-P I know, I know… blame it on my piling work! And if this blog design is not done by tonight, then I would have to push it to another day because the project I mentioned previously (I think I mentioned it in my other blog?? I can’t remember!)..the one that I’m doing for the State Govt? Well.. it starts tomorrow. I can NOT prolong their project because, well..they’re the State Govt. I wouldn’t want to be thrown into jail for..er.. prolonging their project. :-P

Awright, gonna stop posting and get back to work!

Who says working from home is not stressful?

You should see how crazy my puppy gets at time: biting my toes, pulling out clothes from the dryer, biting the walls to get the paints off, chewing on the shoes/slippers, vomitting on the rugs, chewing off the wooden tiles.. all while I’m working! Can you imagine how stressful that could be? Especially when ideas came pouring in and you just had to get up and stop your puppy from swallowing yet another piece of paper from the fax machine. And don’t get me start on those diamond blades-like sharp teeth he has!

What I’m trying to say is… I’m so stressed today, I’m having a can of Shandy!

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.
