Second Anniversary of Full-time Blogging

Filed in: Life Log — September 11th, 2007

2nd anniversary of full-time bloggingThis is my 2nd anniversary of full-time blogging blog post series which I share with you about the insights of a Malaysian full-time blogger:

Yesterday, 9 September 2007, marked my second year of full-time blogging since 2005. Oh yes, I am still surviving! My life has not much changes since my 1st year of full-time blogging. Instead of blogging, let’s talk about something personal.

I got a little tummy. I am 180cm tall and weight 86KG. A little overweight. 80KG should be ideal. I am looking for a strong reason to push me. “Why should I lose weight, as long as I am healthy?”

I am still single and looking for another half to complete my life. Two of my ex-girlfriends already married this year. *gosh* I have forgot how many years I have been single since last break up. More and more friends are getting married soon. I wonder when is my turn? Where is “she”?

I have more money. Thanks for the increasing revenues, my bank books have very beautiful transactions records. Even the bank manager recognizes me, “This guy make money online!”. My monthly expenses is a little. I put the rest of money in bank and mutual funds. Soon, I will invest in stock market.

I have no car (yet). I could buy myself a car now but I haven’t done so. I still spend 70 cents to take public bus to town and walk in Kluang town from west to east. “Why buy a car? I don’t really need one.” is my answer to my friends when they asked. However, under their “pressure” and in order to find a girlfriend faster, I am planning to buy a car soon. Maybe a Honda City or Toyota Vios, Myvi also not bad.

I plan to buy a house. Instead of spending money on a car, I think house is a better investment. I am not going to buy a house in my hometown. Maybe buy one in Johor Bahru or KL/Selangor.

Frankly speaking, I did doubt about how long time I can survive by blogging. “Will it burst?” “What else can I do if I don’t blog?” “Will I back to 9am-5pm office?” But these questions do not stay in my mind for more than a minute. I dislike to have negative ideas in my brain. Just do whatever you think you should do now.

Full-time blogging is lonely. People around me still do not understand what is “blogging”. To them, I am a guy who…

  • does not need to work
  • stays online at home
  • earns a lot of money
  • very free

Yes, I have control over my own time and make more money than average, but I still have works to do! Yes, I am free to travel at anytime but I hardly find a partner to go with me. That’s sad.

I am looking for someone to share with me…

In order to balance my loneliness, I will read more books. Reading is a good way to put everything aside. I like to read stories of successful persons, learn about how they got around their most difficult time.

I don’t have big plans for future. Just focus on what I am doing now, do it step-by-step, and make necessary changes as it developes.

Last but not least, thank you for your continuous support. Please add a word or two in the comment for my 2nd year anniversary of full-time blogging. Thank you very much! *bow*

    If I were like you, I will start a small business, being online or physical. This is to help, should the online blog revenue drop.

    As many people will say, don’t put all eggs in one basket. Also, good to learn another skill.

    Congratulations, Liew. Your blog has been a great resource to me for WordPress stuff and strategies to make money online. Keep up the good work.

    I’m interested to know how you pointed the “Job Search” page link in the header to a different sub-domain.

    Congratulations Liew! Keep up the good work!

    As for the gf issue, maybe you should marry straight away? ;) Having a family for a full time blogger is a great thing, solves the loneliness issue (from my own experience).

    Wow, two years gone in a blink of eyes. Congratulate on your achievement!

    Just do what you think is best for you, set it and let go, that’s all you need to do. Don’t think too much, it traps you in an infinite twilight zone.

    Cheers.

    LiewCF, maybe you should go for a travel and share the experience with us. since many of us want to know how the tech bloggers enjoyed themselves most of them time. I understand your loneliness towards any girlfriends. for me, your age is already suitable for a marriage. Maybe you should buy a car, house as your future asset, as an attraction to get a decent lady as your wife. Yeah Liew, go for a vacation, who knows, maybe you will find your future girlfriend there?..

    many congrats on achieving this milestone Liew…..

    I’d say take good care of your health if you want to enjoy your earnings … join a gym and of course buy a car for the convenience and independence that public transportation cannot provide…

    and of course starting some coaching/mentoring service would be a great way to stay in the business and garner new friendships

    my best wishes to you

Then when reach bus station and outside is raining heavily, you dont need to plan to “swim” to your destination ma… hahahaha… sound familiar? :P Somemore hor, you can fetch mama to here and there anytime dont have to wait for brother sister liao lor… rite?
