I've changed my mind! I'm sending the manuscript to one more publisher: Pelanduk Publication!
I've read about it, thought about it, and concluded that self publishing is not something someone would do during their part-time if they hope for commercial success. Printing and distributing the book can be said as the easy part of publishing---it's the marketing part that really consumes your time and effort (in the context that you pay someone to do the printing and distribution of course. I can't imagine doing these two completely by myself!).
So really, doing self publishing in my part-time will only make me waste my money on printing 2000 books (not to mention the space I have to allocate for the books) and later for the distribution. Going down this road is best save for printing some copies and distributing the books among family and friends, not for commercial success (unless you are willing to quit your day job).
Therefore I've loaded an envelope with a brand new printed manuscript, and launched it away to the publisher. Here goes nothing!
