A free Sunday since I started working!

Not having to attend class today really felt good, since I had the whole day free and not spend half a day in class listening to lectures. Today was well spent relaxing with VC playing badminton with friends! I must admit though, I played really horribly. Having see the shuttle coming, I try to hit it using squash strokes (which obviously did not work!). Although I did not play well, but I managed to sweat quite a fair bit, which I am happy about considering I have not been able to play squash ever since I started work. Besides having a bit of exercise, I had a good laugh at how badly I played!

Besides fun, I had some time for some serious matters. The serious matters concerned my tutorial questions for the audit subject which I am taking for my ACCA course. Sadly, things did not run well. Having looked at the question and attempting the questions I found that I could not really answer the questions because the questions are structured in a way that it forces you to try to related what information are in the notes to the situation for the answer. However, it is easier said than done because I cannot really find a straight answer for the question, and I find that the answer is a compilation of information from different parts/chapters from the syllabus!

Conclusion, Having fun is necessary but I still need to get back to the drawing board to streamline my studies. Furthermore, I believe I need a better time schedule to divide work, play and studies.

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 ...

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...
