My free sketch by Samsudin Ismail is in progress.

It took him only 7 minutes to iron out this rough sketch. There is still some work to be done before the final caricature is ready. Can’t wait

Samsudin offers low-res sketches for free but if you are looking for something hi-res, it will run you USD 5. I find that to be a bargain.

How to get your caricature? Head on over to Free Sketch or drop Samsudin an email at samsudin.ismail@gmail.com. Remember to have your picture attached with the mail.

Been awake since yesterday morning. This is what happens when you mix your freelance projects together with your office work. Should I reply my office mail first or my client’s mail? Well anyway, I managed to get them both sorted out now…. finally!!!

I’m getting too old for this now. Forgetting lot’s of stuff and constant tiredness. O wait the tiredness could be my ciggies…

Think I’ll head off to bed now or maybe kena nasi lemak first yum yum….

I’m out…

What would you do?

That is the question I keep asking myself now.

I have a good stable job in a large company but the salary is average. I was offered to go back to my previous company who is willing to pay me 100% more then what I am earning now.

My problem is I love what I do now and the career path it promises in the long run but I need more cash to fix my personal life and to save for my future use. I have always worked to gain experiance and not the salary but I feel now I need to start looking at the dollars instead. In my current position it will take me 3 years to work my way up to the salary currently being offered to me.

What would you do?

Just got back from my holidays. No much happening this year. New year was pretty boring as I did not get to spend it with me close friends and family as I was stuck in Penang. But I did have a small party with my work buddies at the beach with minimal alcohol. ha.. ha…
No regrets though, I finally had my much needed rest. Imagine getting 12 - 15 hours of sleep a day for a whole week. That will certainly get you recharged. I’ll start posting ASAP.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Make sure to honor your new year resolutions. I’m gonna try to quit smoking and make more money. Let’s see how it goes and I’ll make sure to keep you updated on my progress.

Adios till then…..

I wake up and go to work and chill at my cube everyday to have fun with my babies. They ain’t much but they certainly keep me happy.
Check them out. I’m lucky that I’m fortunate enough to have awesome managers that provide me with such good tools.
