Its a Monday - back to work.... back to work......

Weekend was tough with so much studying going on! Towards the end of Sunday i was becoming like this -------> @_@ And I thought university classes were tough? Topics that were done over three to five days during university are now being done over one day, in case you might be wondering why I turned out like this @_@. As the class goes further and more in depth I am starting to feel the pinch bit by bit and starting to feel some fear, worrying that I might not be able to find time or find enough awareness to be able revise or study effectively. Even as at now, more often than not its 60% seeing the notes and only 40% reading the notes. Trying to get the facts to sink in into my head is anything but an easy task! It makes it a lot more difficult to study since I find that what I study does not necessarily apply to my job..... it can be somewhat demoralising at times, honestly. However, the same way I thought when first walked into my office ,"just shut up and work hard!", I am going to have to apply that to my studies as well if I am going to do well. Of course, to avoid burning myself out I am just telling myself I do not have to do well or score fabulously as long as I just pass the paper. But deep down inside me, there is that yearning to score well. *sigh* I cannot believe I seem to be having this battle of needs and wants inside me. Is this a common trait in humans? Is there a way to control the human mind on "needs vs. wants"? Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions.

As for now, its back to work!

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 ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
