New running personal best: 5'50"/km! (8.0km/h on the machine but I'm learning now that may not be the best measurement). I'm going to make sure I do 6 consecutive days of exercise this week as well. It feels great, and I can already see the changes in my body.
tbh it was raining so hard this morning, I 200% felt like crawling back into bed. The trick was to quickly put on my running shoes. Once the shoes were on, I had no more excuses not to go for a run. So easy to trick my brain.

I'm starting on the Ship in Six Challenge this week. It's a free course by Amy Hoy designed to help you get off your butt and ship that side project in 6 weeks. I intend to use it for Vue Devs, which I don't view as a side project, but I definitely need some butt-kicking!
The plan is to complete the challenge by 24 October 2025. By which time, Vue Devs 2.0 must be launched, too!
I have a degree in Marketing Management from University of Otago, New Zealand. I ran a successful restaurant for 13 years in Singapore, a brutally competitive market for F&B. I also ran a bakery for 7 of those years. I sold both businesses for 6 figures in 2019.
Then I taught myself to code, and have been working in software since. In 2021, I was hired as General Manager for a restaurant software startup, where I helped market and grow the app to $400k/year revenue.
On the side, I started building my own small projects, aimed at near-passive income. So began a 10,000-hour-long experiment to see if I can make $10k/month by "f*cking around and finding out". This blog is a daily record of the real hours spent & dollars earned.
