As I promised myself

Finally... as I promised before... although it is a little late.

I had the site up, although information may not be sufficient, but it is worth of every hard work spent.

And I had my computer formatted - both C and D drives.

Next will be installation of programs, and housekeeping for all documents and media. I might need to move/ delete some items from external HD in order to accommodate other media files.

The feeling of clearing up the items and doing house keeping made me very happy. At least, I can start everything afresh; just like my career.

I intend to do some full time freelance photographer now. Thus, if you require photographer for any event, please do email me for quotation.

My career will change for the better luck, and I believe the decision is on the right track.

Heavy minded now...

Finding out the reason why can be interesting if the information is there. But when it is not, kinda finding a needle in the sea.

Where's the help when I need? It seem like throwing one corner and ask you to survive throughout. It is no wonder, people come and go.

Typically, I can handle things well.. but right now, due to heavy load on my back, it seem like it is nearly impossible for that to happen. Prepare to get whack for not finding out anytime soon. I am glad I know how everything goes, but I really hope it is not too late.

I still have to recheck if possible. But, I really hope that someone can be there to help me through.

As I neglect the other side and concentrate here, it is going to be very unhealthy.

In short, I am just worried for the lack of stuff that should found out earlier.

This is the first time ever I feel so tense over this Chinese New Year. Sigh... Please... I hope to see some light...

My first day of work

Am I excited?

Truthfully, yes. But I felt ashamed of myself that my body is way too weak because I am sick again for these 2 weeks plus. Yesterday, the first day of work made me trembling at work due to the air con blasting over my head.

Therefore, I got a chill and unable to sleep the whole night until 2am. I was told to rest and relax on bed, but I just cannot because I am way too awake. During 10pm, I just kept on coughing non stop!

To think I am now working in the extreme harsh condition on site, I really hope that I can pull through this.



I am told to buy my safety items, such as: helmet, vest and safety boots.




For those who do not know, I am now working on site doing mainly S&C, V and PL.

Feeling burnt out

I have not been blogging on personal stuff lately because I am way too busy and so tired doing all kind of things. Time is so limited and I tend to get tired easily these days. Was it because of the energy used on my daughter or?

After finishing up the job, I will try to get myself in shape because this year had been a tiring and fatty bom bom one. It is not good and very unhealthy one.

I have a lot of plans in my mind but I do feel that the route to success can be very tough if I choose it this way. Perseverance is what I needed badly. I am hoping nothing but the success.

Finger cross that everything clear by up this week! I really promise.

Stay tuned on my Facebook as I will be updating the photos after I pass it to my client!  Oh yes, you may want to view a short clip on stop motion that I did for my ex coll. I am glad that everyone love it! If you are interested, do contact me, ok?

I wish I can blog more and show some photos, but time does not allow me to do so.

Let me get the things organise first.

Going bersek

There are changes that I really need to do, but in order to get it done, I have to make sure everything goes well.

It is pretty tough because I have to trial and error until I succeed. I am really hoping that the step will be minimise  and everything will be as smooth as last time.

The VOD, Video On Demand, is driving me crazy and my head is getting bigger because of solving moment,

There are quite a few people who is doing this, hence getting knowledgeable personnel is like finding needle in the sea. Someone could have help me with it, but it seem as if I am the one doing alone.

Frustrated or no?  I have no time for that.

I just hope that whoever trying to do any searching on VOD can drop me a message on how they do it.

Sincerely, I really hope I can solve it nonetheless without any headache.

If anyone say my job is simple, I guess that the person will have to take back their word because there are too many researching to be done.

Why you should not do free thing anymore

Helping friend are fun and of course, if they appreciate your hard work as well. Some friends or relatives will take things for granted since you are offering free services to them. Be it anything, human are born to be greedy and they will ask for this and that.

Especially when dealing with people you know well, all the more you cannot retaliate lest of making the relationship worse.

If you think you should charge them base on your expertise, why not? When they demand something out from you, there's no hard feeling because they paid for your services. Remember this, there is no free lunch in this world unless depending on circumstances. 

For a start by doing free services, you learn a lot of hard way by dealing people and your own business development. When someone asked you certain question on how do you get it done,  simply tell them. But not in details. 

We are living in the 21st century whereby internet is so wide open. You can make a search using any search engine for your own question. If you are free, then by all means carry on. And, if you are not, the only way is to pay for someone to do it for you.

You also have to start asking yourself these question. Why do you want to stop doing free services? All these allow you to earn more because you are the expert among the rest. That's how the businessman does well. You will see that your friend find you selfish and not wanting to help them out. But, when you are successful, that is a total different story! Everyone have to feed and raise their own family, by helping friends doing free services, aren't you feeling guilty for not spending times with family?

I may sound blunt but this is fact. 

Do not believe me? Try it yourself. There are a lot of freelancers around and I have been reading up on that recently on my Google Reader. How much do you want to charge depend on yourself. The most important thing is you must justify the amount of money you earn to compensate the time. Of course, when you are doing very well and people started  looking high up on you, then you can start to ask for higher price than now. 

Remember, a comfortable price to start with, not a price that will scare people off.

What does client want normally?

No coffee is torturing!

Breakfast of mine is quite bad this morning!

The noodle and bee hoon by hup lee really drop. The standard isn't like before. The taste, feel and everything... it is no longer the nice and tasty breakfast...

Even my wife had the glutinous rice... tasteless... the rice is not fragrant at all and not other ingredient at all. Sigh What a let down.

We were sitting there for sometime and no uncle/auntie asked us if we want the drink. Just when we had finished our breakfast, the auntie asked us if we want to order any drink. Well.. time is getting late so we never order anything. Prefer to have my plain water to quench my thirst as the food is quite dry.

Now.. without a coffee in the morning... I kept dozing off in front of my computer. I can even dream immediately. Weird huh. lol

Look like I need coffee during lunch time...
