Speed is getting slow

I don’t know why my working speed has been greatly reduced. Years back, it took me just 2 hours top to finish a website, 3 for a WordPress theme. Now… It takes more than 5 hours for just one WordPress theme.

I wander around the house just now and keep thinking why the productivity dropped so much, that I cannot come out with 2 full themes in one day… And I got half of it right.

ClockThe WordPress hooks getting more and more. Back in the day, when it is still 2.9 version, it has only a few files to work on and few hook, the rest, go and look for a plugins. But with all the add-on today, a lot more files to go through and a lot more syntax to take care. When there are hooks ready to be use, I will go and use it, push down all the unecessary resouces for plugins.

I think my right arm is getting weak, clicking and typing is not as fast now too. If you ask me what is the great gifts for men, I will say a great partner, so I can take less burden on work now…

Black Sunday

Did not caught up in Black Friday, instead, I’m in a black Sunday. Well, can’t really blame anyone beside myself. Need to really really pick and choose sometimes. This quote is VERY VERY useful.

Not all who talks a lot and explain a lot, don’t really mean they can represent themselves.

Instead, they can’t represent themselves. I have worked with numorouse people who talk a lot and “like” can explain themselve. At the end of the day, they can’t. Nothing made sense at all when they tell the second time.

Working at home, fun? Maybe no

July, isn’t a great month for me, yet, as I took the wrong challenge. Anyway, it’s coming to an end, which is great. I can process to some other top priority stuff myself, do some green shopping, watch some movie and spend quality time at home. I spend less time with my laptop this month. It’s a surprise I manage to get away from laptop for such a long time and still comfortable with it :)

Calendar

There are still some pending job to do, and I am here trying to relax a bit. See! Being a web designer and working at home is just not as they have imagined.

I got so much distraction working at home, I may some times, become a driver and drive them around, because they thought I am free sitting at home, waiting for money to fly in. After all, at this digital age, games is the top priority for computer.

Target

Every end of the month, we both would check all our balance, to see if we reach our sales target, or perhaps, can we survive next month for the money collected this month. Though it is easy to survive over here with its low-cost living style, but saving for next move is always our priority too. That is the stress I get most of the time – Target!

It’s planned, not spontaneous

Coming here for the 3rd week. Still ok, at least getting used to the hot weather, and the… Almost no windows room :P

But somehow, there are still misunderstanding of our job, yes, we both, the job, as a web designer and a web developer?

We are here for a reason

Documents

First off, we did not came home on the Chinese New Year, so as a small replacement, we made it a full one month staying here in Medan. Bringing all our jobs here to make sure we follow up with what we did back in Sibu. At the same time, my wife is applying a 3 months social visa, so yes, its going to take some times, so it’s a month for us.

We have work to do at home

Work at home

Even though like you think how we work – At home or anywhere as long as a broadband. However, it doesn’t mean we can work in Starbucks like others. We are still prefer to work like ordinary working adult, a good working desk with a good chair on a good siting proposition.

Can come home anytime

Private Jet

No. We can’t, until we owe a private jet, but we don’t. Coming back home takes more time than we can imagine. From Sibu to Kuala Lumpur, then from Kuala Lumpur to Medan. The timing wasn’t good, so we have time on transition of airplane too, which, eventually wasted half a day on airport.

So yeah, we are basically like everyone else, working at our own territory and don’t like to move (location wise) too much. Coming back and forth, and I need time to get use to a lot of stuff which makes me needing natural colon cleanser more and more. Some times, it is hard to let those who is outdated to keep up with our situation. I can of course, give a hand, when the timing is correct (read: Correct, mean after business hour).
