2025/02/28: January

celebrated 10th anniversary as a freelancer

in the mid of uncertainties and worries 

with new low in monthly sale

*

which was even lower than

the figure 10 years ago

when i decided to go freelance full-time

*

and more policy changes implemented 

paid hourly rate?

to monitor AI quality and efficiency?

and further implementation of AI in other tasks

with revision of rate, of course

*

but anyway

i have never looked forward to

Lunar New Year so much all my life

as it was a good getaway from the

hellish situation i was facing

*

wrapped up the month in festive mode

on day 3 of Lunar New Year

with a new low in the invoice sent

*

wait till the New Year bills are total up

with a huge gap to be filled

but let’s do that in February

*

still spent generously on festive expenses

e.g. Angpao, gifts, a small donation

simply because i don't know 

what can i afford for everyone next year

*

it couldn’t get any worse, could it?

let’s see..

*

and somehow

i was living quite a good life

doing a thorough spring cleaning

reading all the books on my list

sleeping a full 8 hours every night

*

if money doesn’t bother me anymore

yes, I guess that’s how I am going to

spend the rest of my life
