Tomorrow will be the Earth Day, hopefully there will be a lot of big building turning off their light for an hour. Of course I’m joining this day, I’ll even turn off my lcd monitor or maybe you can try to use a darker wallpaper?

Anyway, there’s a few announcement I would like to make though, just a quick one…
1, I might blog more about Ubuntu.
I just get Ubuntu 8.10 CD at home, learn GIMP to crop up with Photoshop, as well as Inkscape, both for my main Adobe software replacement.

2, Tutorial on GIMP/Inkscape.
It’s been 4 years since the last time I came out some tutorial website. I would like to give out a little bit nowadays

Hmm… It’s just a few weeks I upgraded to Vista, now I wanna change to Ubuntu? Weird… Well, it’s all because Vista been pissing me off due to the software support as well, Windows XP works much more better in ZIP handling

It’s been a week I started to work full time. It’s not I wanna work full time, but as a traditional mindset, the best way to keep and have some saving is through working, so here I am. Following the traditional way. Some of my friends asked me, how much I earn from working at home online? To tell the truth, I earn one time more than what I will be pay end of this month. I’m not selling the promotional products but I’m selling my service with my girl friend.

This whole week has been a really hectic week for me. From changing myself into a working environment and the lifestyle, I kept on working on my online work which I worked double to get a triple paid, it’s not easy for sure. Saturday was the only day I slept the hell outta myself in my room And today? Continue working on my online work. Both my full time and online work are about web design and web coding, I reckon it’s the best thing in my life now. I didn’t complaint, I know this is the only way I’ll get to my goal the fastest way.

A lot of people thought working online is a hard and near impossible thing to do. Well, open your eyes to the possibility of internet. Both my girl friend and I start out at the end of July 2009. She has a good internet social life, she knows lots of blogger and manage to even get some new client. Me? Sit home start my work as a web coder Best combination. To be frank, I don’t really like designing a lot. I’m more into coding, but my full time now is about designing. But whatever it is, now is the best time to learn

This remind me a lot about the time when I was studying and working on a contracted freelance at home. Every time there is a project, will only sent through email. I work when I wanna work and I’m still a freeman outside. However, days ago I went to the office to work due to the lack of internet connection. So I was there about 2.00pm until 8.00pm just to get some works done there. Then only I experience back what is it feels like working in an office.

1, I have to control my habit. I used to talk to myself and some weird looking sitting position. This is a big no-no in an office. I get to sit still and work like a real working man instead. There was a time when I was searching resources, the other colleagues turned to me and asked if I’m actually working or not

2, Once you sit down on the chair, the one and only thing to do is work. Here at home, I get to walk around when I want, make myself a coffee when I feel like I wanna have one, play some Freecell when I am bored or out of sight on the project. The whole schedule was planned by myself, doesn’t matter how long hour I work, as long as I get the project done on time. Unlike those who got out from medical assistant training school, they would spend more time in the hospital than at home, much like my situation now

3, Enforcement from the upstair. Really, when the boss walking around, especially behind my back, there will be a pressure coming to me. Instead of keep working on what I’m doing, I can’t focus. I don’t like people standing behind me or beside me, come and sit with me.

Sigh… Working life now started with 3 points that I don’t like, I don’t know how many more I can come out after a few more years or perhaps, days. Anyway, the motive is very important. Am I there to work for money or am I there to really learn something before I switch? Honestly, not much people can focus on the learning proccess, but I have to try

I’m not talking about blogging anymore today. Since I’ve blog a few entries about how to make money from blogging. I’m talking about working as a freelancer, right. Freelance become more and more common this few years, you don’t need to be like an auto insurance quotes salesman that runs around the town to earn big buck. Especially and not limited to designer. Freelance web designer can be seen and found all around the internet, so it’s not a biggie, but others are working pretty well on the net – eCommerce

According to friends around me, due to this recession, eCommerce become one of the place to get quick order from home to the door step. eCommerce also started to boom in Malaysia as well. More and more eCommerce if not auction site are coming in to grab a piece of their territory. According to myself, it work, but not so soon yet

1, Recession only happen in countries that very much depend on US dollar, or perhaps more precise, US dollar transaction business. Malaysia is one of the country that not booming as fast as Taiwan or Singapore and not very much depending on economy share yet. Malaysia, a developing country or better yet, third world country that still using the old earning system – Work-hard-or-die-young-system. Due to the recession news that has been around for months, we all started to panic too (Which is one stupid act also) and being very good boy/girl working harder to earn the same amount of money. This means, we still able to go shopping and buy domains to earn from blogging

2, Like more Asian would have in mind – SCAM. Scam and fault systems can be seens all around Asia, especially credit card wise. Some even don’t wanna use online banking system just so they are safe from scam. So far so long, I’ve heard Japan and Taiwan are both countries that have some good go from eCommerce. In order for them to influence Malaysia, let’s take another 5 to 10 years. So those who own eCommerce now, keep it there. Make sure the eCommerce is a part time not full time.

3, I know, I know, I know. Some people says, “Hey, she has a pretty good business!”. Why not? It’s rare now and she knows people. You think socializing is an easy task? Observe how long this eCommerce jump out from the crowd and how they jump out and how long they jump out as well. Planning needed very much, but this is a good news for those very socialized bloggers

eCommerce? I’m still looking for a impact one… Hmm… Selling fancy condom online? Selling… Sellin… Selli… Sell… Sel… Se… S… …

New year is coming, everybody seems to be busy cleaning their home, including me myself. Has been helping a little bit here and there with the home repair and etc with my father. Brother helping on fixing all the electricity matter. Mother cleaning the interior and the dogs. Both sister having great time watching PP Stream

Anyway, when speaking of repairing, sometimes air tools works well too. This afternoon, my father and I taking our time trying to build another dog house. Well, like usual, everywhere were a mess, now you know how it helps though it seems to be a road side cleaning tool

Nevertheless, Happy Chinese New Year
