Working on a new project

Thanks. Yes, it is on 8 Feb, a few more days from now. I guess I will really be having good rest, as I won't have access to my computer.

@kaka135 I hope you don't get withdrawal symptoms. It can feel like you have a limb missing if you can't have access to a computer.

@JudyEv I don't think I will, I have experienced that many times. I always thought of planning to do something when I go back to my in-law's house, but it always seems like I am busy with something, perhaps just relaxing.

That's what I learned. I really enjoy coding and designing the web applications, it's fun and interesting. Of course, there are challenging and struggling moments as well.

@paigea I recently came across a coding tutorial online, it's designed for age 8 and above. I have tried it out for awhile, it's quite interesting. I think it'll interest the children.

@kaka135 Some schools are trying to introduce coding at an early age. The grade one students were playing games/ more like working out puzzles on the computer and the teacher told me it was going to lead to them learning coding.

Thanks. I am just interested in many different things, but not expert at all areas.

Thanks. This programming skill really helps me to make the decision of becoming a stay-at-home mom, as I can still earn some income while taking care of my children at home.

@kaka135 That is lovely! Hopefully in the future I will be able to do some sort of at home job and watch my kids (when I have kids)! Day care could be quite expensive also!

@infatuatedbby Yes, I think childcare service is getting more and more expensive here as well. For me, it's the mother's instinct that drove me to quit my office job. I never thought of becoming a stay-at-home mom until my elder son was born. It's just something I really wanted to do at that time - be with my child. Besides programming job, I thought of other alternatives as well, in case I couldn't get projects, such as setting up online business (see what I can sell), working online, giving tuition or lessons to other kids, providing childcare service, etc. I believe there are many ways we can do if we really want to do them. I also planned that if everything really doesn't work well, then I'd have to go back to office and work. Glad that we can still survive until now, after 5 years.

Thanks! Programming is what I studied in college, and that's what I have been working for years. I learned all those handwork (knitting, crocheting, sewing) in these recent few years since I became a mother. I am glad I have developed these hobbies as well. I feel like these hobbies make me feel more creative but not so dull as a geek, though I am never a tech geek.

@wiLLmaH I always think tech geek is very good at computers, but I'm definitely not.

@kaka135 programmers are tech geek.. period! haha! Kidding only! :)

Thanks. But that's what I studied in college and have been working for years, it's my interest as well.

Nope, actually there's no fixed deadline for this project yet. I just wish to get something done, not the whole project, by this week. I don't need to prepare much for Chinese New Year, as we are going back to hometown. I won't be bringing my computer back, so I'll have time to help my mother-in-law with some work and then just relax.

Thanks. I can do some simple, but not so complicated ones. Now I try not to take in too challenging projects, as I might not have time to commit. Though I really wish to learn something new and more advanced, I really need to prioritize what I want to do.
