The speed time passes ~ the insufficiency of time

Its amazing how time just zooms pass us each second, minute, hour and day. Looking back, it has already been close to six months into my job. It also means everyday I inch closer to my exam papers. My thoughts for now is very simple - survive the current wave of job stress and study stress, and other things can wait. Trying to ensure I do not jeopardize my health is not and easy task considering the fact that I stay up late at least 3 out of 5 working days to try to slot some time to study. Most of the time I guess I may be only seeing my notes and not reading the notes. A typical case of body in presence, mind in absence.

Another sad note to add today, is the fact the nice senior I am working under currently will be leaving my firm in a few months time, but still within the firm umbrella in a different state of Melaka, her home town. I guess, one may find it difficult to work away from your home and birth place for too long - after all, leaving one's love ones behind for better pasture can be painful to one's heart.

Everday is a battle for me, not a battle to win but a battle to avoid losing. Personally, I believe that one takes different measures when one says, "I want to win!" and when one says, "I must not lose!". If one over clouds himself with trying to win only, he can resolve to unhealthy methods of achieving that so called win. But taking the advice of one of my country's leaders, in order to become a leader, one has to want that position badly and want it deep down in his heart. I say three cheers to that statement, for I take heed that it means a lot to me and I intend to live by that statement. The desire to succeed will bring about unknown strengths hidden inside me.

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
