This one is quite interesting. I'm a self employed and I work straight away from my house.

I dream of having a studio for my photography hobby but nah, its not working at the moment --> I'm tight in budget. haha..

Well basically I'm not alone I guess. In fact in Kuala Lumpur alone there are many people who work from home. Especially those who are writers, stringers, insurance & unit trust agents and even photographers.

I have a small corner which I called my "little office" to do any work like editing and surfing the internet and I do appreciate it.

Good thing is, whenever I have ideas pouring I don't have to wait until tomorrow to do my job. I can straight away open my laptop and type in every idea that coming in to my head.

However, I wish someday I'll have my dream realized where I can afford to have a studio for my photography hobby plus a better working environment as a 'worker'.. sigh..

Whatever it is, I'm very happy of what I'm doing right now and I believe I should continue working from home or at least have a small office at home although I have a studio one day.
