Today I'm grateful for being able to sleep in as much as my body needs and wake each day without an alarm.
Dad says sleep debt is real and I'm determined to repay it. So I need to stop feeling guilty about sleeping in every now and then. The whole point of this indie life I designed is so that I can do things like that, right?
Learnt more technical stuff in calligraphy class today and it was awesome! Very happy I signed up for it.
The teacher (who is a professional graphic designer by day) remembered that I had asked about typeface pairing last week. She did say learning Spencerian calligraphy isn't going to help me with typeface pairing. But today she brought this book to loan me: Stop Stealing Sheep & find out how type works.

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.
