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.

the price of love - take 3

Deep down inside each and every one of us lies an innate power to do things for another person. Some things that can be beyond explanation, sometimes even silly and sometimes just really impossible to imagine. What I am referring to really is the ability of us human beings to care for someone else. Actually if you think about it, all living beings on this planet show the innate ability to care for one another. It's amazing how one person can show so much care to another person without requiring a reason. I definitely admire those who are able to care for another person selflessly. I may not know my ability to care for another person but I know I'd give it a good shot in caring for someone I love - parents, siblings, girlfriend. Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day. I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program
