Not giving UP, but I'm giving IN!
A lil upset when my friend mocked at my uncertainty. Keep changing jobs. I shouldn't have concern of what other people say about me. This is a process. Process to know what suitable for you and what's not. The road of exploration needs time. Life's a journey, not a destination. How long you could really work for a company consider a stable job? 10 years? 20 years? The most important thing is that you found somewhere you belong!
Thanks to Gary, an award winning designer currently working in BBDO. Please keep winning =)
He reminds me of I used to dream to reinvent the world. I want to make a different.
I feel lucky that I found out which working way suitable for me in just a month. I've experienced freelancing, I've experienced working in a large firm and small agency. After the comparison, I am thankful that I now know that: I love to share; I have tons of ideas to be heard; I love to be inspired, by experts, people from other industry, or even ordinary people; I love to work with team; I love the interaction between people; I love having lunch together; I love spending nights working together; I love seeing my ideas create positive change in this world!
I am not giving up; giving in instead. =)
And you know what's next.

Freelance Apprentice
It's almost 3 weeks since I started my freelance life. Life is not organized. Haha... although has been setting myself working hours. I didn't follow, at all...
But I am enjoying the process of discovering. Finding out which way work the best for me. Most of the time you find me sitting at Asia One Cafe, Bandar Puteri Puchong. I travelled to Jalan Imbi to meet client, my programmer partner treated me Green Tea Latte at Starbucks, Uptown Damansara. But most of the time you find me shopping around boutiques at Puchong. My housemates said she wanted to have soup for dinner, then I went market to buy some ingredients. Sometimes I know I have tons of work to do, but myself is telling me that I want to have Wholemeal Bread with butter for breakfast, then I drove out. Hmmm... I spent alot without getting my first cheque from client. Well, what can I say. I need DISCIPLINE!
Being an freelance apprentice, there's alot I need to learn. I am pitching a project, I was finding my programmer friend to co-operate with me, it didn't work out quite well. And I need to repropose to client again. Well okay I admit, I cried. But I am truly grateful in heart, because I've learnt! I am learning the art of negociation, presentation skill, time management, commitment, setting goals, and the process of being a successful freelancer. My mom supported me, haha, when I said I was scared to talk about the price to client. She said: LEARN! I am thankful. I love you mom, and all the friendssss who supported me. I won't dissapoint you!
I should have working for now. Haha, but I'm still blogging. I want to practise blogging everyday because it really helps me to review my thinking, and my progression. I find out that I am more progressive and motivated during the night time. I've triend to work 9 to 5. It don't really feel right. Let's try working at night then. =)
