You might find it hard to fathom how could I possibly get bored, but I really am.
I need a new challenge. I need new ideas. I need sugar, spice and everything nice.
While I enjoy every bit of the freedom that my work gives me, it does get monotonous. I have no one I can talk to, no one to work with in person, and it can get extremely boring.
It's a terribly lonesome job, and that is my one major, and perhaps solitary gripe.

This is what it's like:
I work as and when I like, because there is really no need to define my working hours. I don't do work 24/7; I'm mostly online, but I surf and waste my fair bit of time too.
I got an office 3 months ago because I wanted to spur myself to work harder. Now I've terminated the lease because the air is extremely stale there when I work alone and because of that, I only go there once a week.
I am mostly busier at night because the Sun can only shine on one half of the Earth at one time and my target market is one half of the globe away. Read: USA.
I work into the wee hours everyday while almost everyone else is exchanging pointers on the chess board with Mr Zhou.
I have supper more than I have breakfast but I really do wish I can have the best of both worlds.
I have nasi lemak and hokkien mee at 4am and my friend says I'm too fat for M-sized shirts.
I'm glad I have friends who are willing to come out for supper at 4am and for substandard food.
My work is so hard to understand that when I go to a wedding dinner and get asked by Friend A what do I do now, Friend B says I do porn sites.

never thought of you as a sarariman.
as much as people always ask what do we do for a living, as i explain, i never really felt anyone was really listening to my explanation.
so to cut it short, just give them an easy-to-understand term.
whatever it is.
hahaha
I think u are the one who make things sound so complicated. If its hard to explain what u r doing, then why bother to explain into detail. What i would do instead, is just to give a brief idea.. prbbly, say im a self employed, with my own internet marketing business. full stop. dont elaborate further. they dnt undstd, then dont describe further. There's no need for them to know too much. if they are concern, then tell them, im doing good, eating well.. sleeping well.. and thank them for their concern. THen chg topic, ask about them instead! So... i guess, i shall meet u up one day to give u more tips. ;)
"I am lao2 ban3" -short and swt.
You guys got it all wrong! That last point about "doing porn sites" was meant to be funny, but apparently I didn't get the message across too well. Haha.
joke FAIL
whats wrong with having friends who has supper with you at 4am?
i think..if your unhappy you wouldn't be doing it. So your actually pretty ok with doing whatever it is your doing. Or your too contented to change.
There's nothing wrong with having friends who have supper with me at 4am. If anything, it can only be good.
I'm happy with what I'm doing: I'm just looking at ways to improve it, if you get what I mean.
Hey, you have a blog too! Shall link you up! :)
