Accomplishment

I spent the whole month of August finding ways to earn extra bucks for me to go for a holiday.
Well, my target at first was a bit off....where I tried to earn one k and everyone else thinks i'm a nonsense. Okay, i admit. That was nonsense. There's not really a legal way to earn 1 k in a month having a full time job. If you know of one....i'll hate you for not telling me earlier


It all happened when I decided I'll go to a 6 days trip to bangkok with my colleague and all...
It was end of july then. I had 5 weeks to make it possible.


Some offered to lend money to me, some even say to sponsor me.

Some say to buy lottery...(which i did but did not win )

Some say to sell body.....lol


Of course, as a designer, the most natural thing that comes in mind is freelancing.
But, one thing with freelancing is that you dont really get the money on time.


I sell soya bean. Every 3 days in a week. I go around my office to get people to order soya bean, and deliver it the next day. It kinda worked I dont know why, 80 % of people like to drink soya in my office. I just need to wake up 3 hours earlier in the morning.


I sell soya beans, black soya beans and even soya beancurd.

So far, black soya beans sells best because of its nutrient values that somehow every auntie in my office knows of.

I feel accomplished. Its really great to live life. Well, at least I can prove that I can do it if I am serious about it.

Cant wait to embrace the beach in Pattaya!

Goal Calendar

After having been trained in The One Academy for 3 years, I realised that I cant really survive without a deadline. And without a target, a bull's eye.

I have been working for a year and realised that I didnt achieve anything thus far. Not portfolio, not winning any competition, no freelance whatsoever. Everyday is just routine, doing the almost same thing month for month by now.

Thats why I thought of setting some goals for myself, short term ones of what to achieve in 2 years. That will be 104 weeks, 730 days. Quite plenty if I really made use of it.


Some people works 20 hours a day. I certainly cant do that anymore. I'm old for goodness sake.
watched UP the other day and realised that really, the adventure is out there. Nothing's gonna happen for real if i keep staying in the same circle, shying away from what is...out there.


I have always had this thought, that is to be able to work overseas. But if I never had a timeline for it, it will never happen.

So, I thought of this GOAL CALENDAR. I worked well with deadline, in fact, cant really work without it. I worked better with things that has some limitation thats why.

What this goal calendar does is to set a goal in a timeline and to be able to accomplish it.
Treat it like a final assesment...and will be graded, so I wont be so half assed about it.

I plan to design it, that is to suit everyone that feels like they need to accomplish something in life...

I do have the rough idea on it though...

1) GOAL
2) DEADLINE
3) ACTIONS
4) OUTCOME
5) ANALISATION


Key things like SWOT analysis. But its a very very initial stage, I hope I could give it more of a thought, figure it out exactly what it takes and needs to accomplish a task.
The loopholes, the design of it in every page and the format of it...whether or not it should be in a book, or it works better with a big ass manilla card, or small notebooks, stick ons, and so on.


It feels like an idea, i need people help me expand it...well, for those who dont think that its stupid.

It would be great if it could be improvised, making it easier and effective achieving something shortterm. At the very least, it makes me feel like i really live everyday doing something.

So, any ideas?

We're IN

We are IN! Into semifinals for Piala Seri Endon!

Proud to say that all entries from my office colleagues are EEN!

Competition

Collection of 3 for Batik Competition.
First round ended. Wish me luck!

Fundraising Project

Right, actually, there's not really a solid plan in my mind.
But I'll erm...try. Haha...


So, it took me half an hour to decide to go to Bangkok with my colleagues. Whereas I think they should go and do sales not design. God, I somehow felt like I just jumped right in into a trap.

In September, we are going to Bangkok and Pattaya. And the budget is at least 1k. Well, given the fact that we went there for like almost a week. Its only reasonable. But the biggest problem is, I dont have the money for a grand trip like this and yet, I am already in. Therefore, I already given up the fact that I am in it and start to think to roll in money. To expand the current savings i got.
Loan is not a good choice for me though.


Now I have got one month to roll in 1 k. Which my mom say impossible, and I shall prove it wrong. Even if not completely wrong, at the very least.


Surprisingly, lady chrystal is going at the exact same date to boot.
Lol....this is unskippable already.


The thing now is how should I fundraise? (legally)

Selling accessories and soya bean is one of it though.
