Sliding back from back sliding!

Just a while ago when I first started work, motivation was at an all time low. And I mean really low - down the drain. Four months into my work, I can now feel bit by bit, some form of motivation creeping back into my system. Although I must admit, it is not really high but I think I am slowly but surely getting some motivation.

Things are going pretty smooth, even in terms of my study time. I am making time to do some tutorials over my lunch (for the audit subject). And when I get home, or go to VC's place I do some tax revision and practise questions to get myself going. I totally admit, when I first started getting into my job I was a tad too confident and I underestimated the difficulty in trying to manage time for work, studies and play. I definitely suffered and I still am, only difference is that I am picking myself back up this time around. Somehow, my footing does not feel sturdy yet, but I intend to firm up!

Besides trying to work out my time carefully, I need to make time for exercising as well! After lunch today, my senior at work suddenly said , "Micky (my nickname at work), you have put on weight! Your face is rounder now!". Clearly, very clearly this calls for drastic measures to shape myself back. Exercise is now an important part of my daily agenda. Unfortunately, I still do not have enough time for squash to be included in my schedule. Frustrating it may seem, I believe I must try to fit in some time for squash. After all, if I am not mistaken the inter-accounting firm games should be starting in early March if I am not mistaken.

Just to end today's entry.... I wish my senior, Yee Yee all the best for her resuts in her final professional paper!

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...
