March 2019 Report

This is my first post since I stopped my wordpress website. As least it is free here for a lazy blogger like me. Sadded by the lost of many post especially the WPLN Assessment test. I will do one at a later stage to help people who are planning to take it likely for property agent or as a grab driver.

My last tryout of job is being an interior design. Having full commission in the interior design trade is very taxing to my family. Although, I managed to signed 3 projects since my commencement in October 2018 which is considered very lucky for a newcomer, money are coming in slow. So after averaging all the months taken to finish the project, pay wise is more or less the same as my previous jobs but working hours are much more flexible. It is something that you have to invest time and effort to have referral business for this trade in order to succeed.

However, I am missing out on benefits such as paid leave, medical leave, childcare leave, cpf contribution from company which helps in paying for the HDB. Without those benefits, you have to plan very carefully on how you spend the commission received.

So I am back again to the 9 to 5 job. After about 2 years of running away from the 9 to 5 working life, I am contented. The jobs, the experience I received throughout the years are fulfilling. In the end if you have a family, it is more responsible to bring bread to the table.

I appreciate the support from my wife to allow me to run amok for these 2 years. I will continue to find my purpose in life but this time on the sideline, after my working hours. I guess this should be the right way for a family man to proceed.
