I know it’s horrid that I don’t blog here often enough — Pikaland keeps me so busy that I can hardly can see straight sometimes. But it’s a great feeling to have, so I’m not complaining!
Taking things slow is what I’m aiming to do. I’ve been zipping around like a fly on meth (don’t ask me where I got the idea), constantly flitting from one place to another — I felt that I missed out on chunks of life that’s happening around me. So the resolution for the year, which I kept, is to take things a little slower, and to find my ground.
My last day at the office was this Monday, and boy was it difficult to say goodbye to routine. Switching off my good ol’ Powermac at work for the last time was bittersweet. Hugging colleagues and drinking in the environment which I have been bitching about became a little ritual in itself.
Now that I’ve leapt into the unknown, I’m surprised to see so many nets waiting to catch me should I fall. It’s a great feeling, and after a few weeks of nervous twitching and re-thinking (yes, there were smack-me-silly moments where I almost chickened out), I breathed a sigh of relief throughout the last week I was at work. I could only feel a calm joy coursing through my veins.
I’m pushing as hard as I can, but at the same time I’m also unwinding and unraveling parts of me that I didn’t even knew existed.
Discovery is a great feeling.
You are doing a great job. I really want to know how you finally decided it was it was time to make the switch. I should read the rest of you blog to see if I can find the answer. If not, email me back. that’s what i am consumed with these days, so it would be nice to hear how you’re doing it.

Apr 30, 02:31 AMI’ve been wanting the elephant design – it’s so sweet. I haven’t seen the other two – they are so cute!
I am always really proud of people who take a leap of faith and go for their dream. It is extremely inspiring and helps me get closer to doing it full time for myself some day.
You are doing great!
