Our payrolls got bigger with more hires coming in.
Secured 2 projects to cover 2026 OPEX.
Ok now I can relax a little bit 😮💨
As a tech startup, tech and coding are nice.
Y'know what's painful? Transitioning into management.
Haih it's so tiring. Payroll, offer letters, HRM, quotation, EPF, EIS, LHDN, accounts.
I wish there's a saas for that. Training people really drag our speed.
Started weightlifting again after many, many years. Was it 13 years ago? I stopped when my wife was pregnant with our first kid, and he’s 12 now.
Now this 42-year-old dude can’t feel his arms 😅

Sent the proposal to the big client. No comment about the budget. Just timelines needed to be adjusted.
This is what I like about big clients, they don’t mind spending. But I need to fit in with their window.
Yeah it’s me again coming back with the annual problem of not knowing how much to charge for a client who is super ready to spend.
I need to write that proposal and see how it fares against the alternatives as usual.
Release day is a good day! Arrived at the office at 7.14am just for moments like these.
So proud of my team, I'm slowly firing myself from the 'Release Engineer' title.
Smoooooth. Audited account done. Company progress slides done. Another 1 meeting today, pretty much sorted, except for budgetary table 😬.
And the rest of the day I’ll be in my cave queitly working on some light documents.
Maybe that’s what resilience at working place feels like. When you’re at home, everything feels like bliss.
