Cameron Highland KidsComing back from Cameron Highland, after a hectic month completing two projects, and meeting interesting people at E27, I just love my job more and more. Not because I am doing a totally different stuff right now, but I think I am begining to know the difference between what I want and I what I need more clearly.

Last time, I did what I needed, I needed a job, I needed experience, and I needed money, so I worked hard and I learned as much as I could, and I did what I was told, I was employed, and I was lost. Then I started to explore what I really wanted.

I wanted to freeze beautiful moments in life, so I bought my first DSLR camera; and I signed up for beginning photography course. I had always wanted to travel alone, travel light, travel long, longer than 2 weeks, so I packed my bag, and travelled to Borneo, for the first time, alone, my longest holidays, 21 days in a row.

I found programming alone is too boring, I had always wanted to explore the creative side of me, so I started Pluit Solutions doing not only web development, but also web design.

I know that money is important and but a fulfiling life is more important than money; thus doing what I want on top of what I need makes the difference.

Just like the two kids that I snapped from my last trip to Cameron Highland, I chose to be like the first kid on the left, happy and passionate.

When you are happy and passionate, you get the best out of you.

Welcome back.

Nice photos on your Borneo trip. I just browsed through all of them. Really nicely taken. Never knew you’re such a good photographer as well. Just felt like I was there visiting Borneo as well.

And nice knowing you.

Hehe, just one question for you Herry, any tips for how you convinced your wife to let you travel alone to a foreign country for 3 weeks? ;-)

That was the hardest part, but looking at how hard I have worked for the past few years, think she pitied me to agree that I deserved such a long break.
