Yesterday I met 2 of my ex-course mates for late supper. They persuade me to apply job in their working place. One said he has worked in many companies, counted and turned out 5. They knew my current situation. I know they are concern a bit about me. I have been unemployed for almost 2 years. Next week will be my birthday and marked the last day I was with my last company for 2 years since I resigned. I told myself I won't back to full time job anymore. I have experienced different working environment. I know what I want but reality is harsh. I accepted and I got my fiancée support. I will try my best to launch my product next week as I already walked so far until I reach the point. I don't want to give up my dreams.

I take this opportunity to thank KMatle for his tutorial on running MySQL PHP Web service. It has inspired me to develop my own server solutions and created the Web API Template as today. He may not need my "coffee" but the way I repay is to contribute back my work to this community by offering the Web API Template as open source.
