First Payment in a Year · Jul 14, 02:36 PM

This week, I received my first salary in a year. Thanks to this blog, I was able to pinpoint the exact date of my last employed day – 16 July 2006 – a few days to exactly one year.

The salary is a measly sum, but I couldn’t have gone this far without the massive support given to me by the people around me.

Special thanks go to cc’s parents, who allowed me to bunk and dine at their place for 2 years now – at the expense of turning their living room to my bedroom. Many people wondered how did I survive for so long, now you know the main reason.

Apart from being morally supportive, cc also didn’t mind me not being able to buy her pretty things for a long while. Oh, she also taken on the role of the breadwinner as my savings started to run dry.

My parents, themselves who had gone through turbulent times while my dad was bootstrapping for his business, encouraged me all the way and supported me to live my dreams.

Friends, thanks for not asking me to get a real job :D

I got to stop before this turns into a thank you speech for success, because we are still far from it.

My goal for the coming year is to deliver one kick ass game while being able to pay all bills.
