Update..

My Sunday feels soooooo long.. I was already in the office by noon, and I only got home at 2am.. Here's how my day went..

I waited in office till my partners arrive at abt 130pm. Ivan & his wifey reaches first.. We chat at e lobby till Austin comes pluck us up to go have our lunch first before we start our meeting. We had lunch at Ubi Central. By the time we head back to start our meeting, it's already 3pm. Settled our internal issues, then Austin n I heads to Ikea to get the new bookshelf at past 6pm..

I wonder why we agree to paint our bookshelf black.. We got back to office only at 10pm. We unpacked, we gave the shelves a 1st coat of paint.. By the time we're abt done, it's about 1am.
After all e cleaning up, we did a bit of accounting and shifted the furnishes around.. I only got home at past 2am. I'm totally dead beat.

So tat was only coat 1 of the paint. We will have to continue working hard tomorrow evening..

So here's the major difference of working for an agency and starting something we call our own.. We sweat like crap and got down and dirty. The bookshelf cost only $45 compared to a finished and better quality one that cost more than $100. We hope by the time this lousy bookshelf falls apart, we would already be upgrading to a bigger studio..

I guess it really is about what we are looking for. It is so easy to get a comfortable job and settle into an office tat's already equipped with furniture, lighting and brand new stationaries... Jobs are also lined up and waiting for u to complete them. There's no worries of overheads and utilities that drains the life out of u even before ur business starts breaking even. So why are we making life so difficult for ourselves?

For me, it is the satisfaction at the end of the day. I know how much hard work it takes to build something u call ur own.. I'll never take anything for granted.. It's not the amount of money that u take home. (It's pathetic that is..) But the lessons I learn from the experience, whether we make it or break apart.. It's something I know if I dont give it a shot now, I will have regrets later on in life..

It's gonna be another long day tomorrow.. More painting and fixing.. Hopefully by CNY, our studio will be nicely done up with operations up and running.. We need new business!!
