~A day of inspiration~

Waking up in the morning, feeling blur and tired from the week's accumulated workload it definitely took me a while to get into my usual rhythm. It was definitely a slow warm-up day for me considering the weather was very nice today (not too cold and not too hot!). Eventually my engine warmed up and started off my day with having brunch with VC. :)

After lunch, dropping VC off as she had some plans, I went for my weekend classes. Like most of my Saturdays I just attend my class in hope to learn something. But today, it is slightly special! Somehow or rather I felt more motivated than usual. Having made time to do my homework the lecturer gave us, and having the lecturer say my work was satisfactory really made my day a lot brighter. At the end of the class the lecturer just said, "you are doing good, keep it up and continue your hard work!". That really meant a lot to me.

Since class finished at 8pm, there really was not remaining to my Saturday, so me and VC decided to catch a movie. Now, this movie was pleasant surprise for me. It is entitled "Happy Birthday", and the first impression I got from it was that it was going to be an all mushy, dull and romantic show (just like every other love stories). To my surprise it was a show I really could feel emotions for. It was show, deep down inside me that really showed the meaning of loving someone. Once again, to my surprise, I actually had tears rolling down my cheeks when the show ended, which VC saw and found amusing seeing tears running down my cheeks from watching a romantic show. The movie really showed how great a lenght one would go to ensure the one he loves stays happy, and how he would sacrifice for the sake of that loved one.

That's what I call true love........ I wonder if I could be like him? A question I find tough to answer indeed. I guess, somethings should be left as unknown to us...........

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
