A day of tests for me.....

The day started of fine actually. Going through the same old routine of waking up-prep-off to work. Things took a pretty bad turn as work progressed. However, things got only worse at that point when we realised the client was not going to be helpful in helping us solve the issue. So then I was thinking, "as expected I supposed....clients never like to help auditors afterall.". Then, I figured I am sure I can work a solution out with my team mate. Sadly and regretfully, the answer was no. We could not see eye to eye on trying to solve the issue.

The more I get into the engagement of work, I am beginning to see that work is not really that technical once you can break things down to smaller bits. However, work is more of a people thing. These days, I find more trouble trying to understand the people involved in the job that I do. Approach the client in the wrong way and you simply cannot get what you want from them! Same thing goes with colleagues! Currently, I am left with a pretty big sense of resentment and frustration, having to feel that I am waging a losing battle against myself. Everyday I wake up having to fight the thought that I am going to face a tough day at work because of 'people problem'.

Forget about work.............. dinner was fun today, having to join VC's friends and room mates and just laugh out at cranky jokes. After dinner, I had a quiet time with VC and just having to enjoy each other's company. Concern however lingers in my mind, knowing that she was not in her mood tonight. Not being able to help and cheer her up made me feel somewhat, helpless and powerless. All I knew was I could only accompany her and give her my shoulder to lean on.

Indeed all in all, today was somewhat a tough day. As far as I can see, one can only look at the brighter side of things. Having to meet tough times at work only helps me become stronger. In addition, we are all humans and our feelings can never be linear in nature......... tolerance, patience and keeping cool were the lessons learnt today.

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

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 ...

Eugen Weber - APOCALYPSES, review

Apocalypses Prophecies, Cults, and Millennial Beliefs through the Ages That is the name of this book which I bought some time ago but never really got the time to it. This book was my weekend book so to speak. "Apocalyptic visions and prophecies from Zarathustra to yesterday form the luxuriant panorama in Eugen Weber's profound and elegant book. Beginning with the ancients of the West and the Orient and, especially, with those from whom we received our religions, the Jews and earliest Christians, Weber finds that an absolute belief in the end of time, when good would do final battle with evil, was omnipresent. Within centuries, apocalyptic beliefs inspired Crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Columbus, rebellions and reforms. In the new world, American abolitionists, who were so critical to the movement to end slavery, believed in a final reckoning. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries' apocalyptic movements veered toward a lunatic fri...
