Just finished a website design & development project today.

Should be happy, feel accomplished and all but when client said that she will miss seeing my email first thing in the morning, the sentimental feeling hits me. I secretly say, yeah me too. Seriously.

This feeling is like a teacher having to be apart with her student whom just graduated. *sorry if my analogy is too lame * She knows she will get to teach new students, but eventually the students will graduate and the circle repeats. Or like a medical student has to bid farewell to her old White lab coat that has been with her for quite some time. Eventually she’ll have a new Medical uniform, but oh well, you got the idea.

People come, people go, memory remains. This sentimental feeling is definitely not the first time. Just like a student that will graduate, a project has to come to a completion as well.

I feel blessed and glad that I get to do what I do now. Not just design but also communicate directly with clients.

Anyway, looks like everyone is going to have a long weekend, but too bad Good Friday isn’t a public holiday in West Malaysia, so we’re working like usual. Got to arrange the schedule nicely, cause end of this month (next weekend) will be a packing & moving time.

I’m the ‘early sleep, early rise’ type. So when I sleep past midnight, it’s usually because of the following:

1) Hot and humid weather. Even wind is hot. Then sweat and sticky skin. How to sleep? Duh. Blessed you who have air-con.

2) Work. Sometimes because of deadline. Sometimes because I’m too excited & passionate with the project. Sometimes because my mind can’t rest well if I don’t get the work done and delay to another day which might result in nightmare – imagine being haunted by ashton cigars that comes alive or so.

3) Tea. Just discovered this recently. Either teh-o-ice (iced tea) or teh tarik (milk tea) on supper will cause me to stay up late. I thought it should be coffee instead? -__-”

Ok, go to sleep.

Craving for hometown food, who never have it?

It’s a blessing that I am now living in a city that is just one hour flight away from my hometown. Another blessing is, my brother studies here. So whenever he back to hometown for semester break, he surely brings something back and I get to fulfill some of my craving.

This time, it’s the famous (for the yummy taste & expensive price ) Chicken Curry Vermicelli from Tabona. Along with this is homemade kaya and other Mum’s cooking.

I never request anything but Mum always prepare some of the foods to bring it to me. I guess she kinda misses cooking for us.

Feel so loved!

Ok, the title basically sums up this post.

What book do we buy? It’s “Freelance Confidential: The whole truth on successful freelancing” from Rockable Press, the paperback version. They have pdf, cheaper price, but we aren’t going to read it on laptop, such a hassle. Unless an iPad2 and ipad2 accessories falls from sky for us.

Though we aren’t freelancer anymore (running business, got registered one okay ), but think that the book might come in handy.

I went to Amazon and use the $50 gift-card, that I won from online contest years ago, oh those were the time

Two weeks later the postman delivers it. I just skimmed through the book and my eyes immediately fall in love with the font used and text spacing. Oh so lovely, not too big, not too small, not too narrow, just the right size.

Now, back to reading habit.

Something easy that can be cooked in a short time. What’s that? A mix fried rice!

We haven’t done grocery shopping for quite some time, so just grabbed whatever ingredients we have in the kitchen and voila… a meal to satisfy our stomach.

Anyway, we just make a deal today and that makes me look forward to May. Less than 3 weeks, teehee~!
