study leave then exams!!!

Its a happy day today, since I may have my study leave starting from this Friday onwards!!! Now that's what I call some time back from all the hectic times at work and trying to survive the pressure at work. Although I am getting leave from work, I will still have to use the time well to prepare myself for the upcoming papers in a few weeks time. :( (its still bad news but not too bad I guess :P)

But as soon as I get back from my leave, it is going to get hectic all over again. :S I have seen my job scheduling and it is not very impressive. Towards the end of the year I will be back working on a tough client again (recurring job since I was on the engagement team last year). *sigh* then again, things could be worse right? So I will just settle for this...... As far as I am concern, as long as I don't have to end up sleeping in office again or working 36 hours non-stop is good enough for me.

Just a few days ago, I got news of people dying due to to over working. Not one but two news!! Fortunately, in two different countries. One in Romania (this one's an auditor, like myself), and another in Singapore (not sure what job it was related too). A cousin of mine who lives in Singapore having heard of the news started to worry about how I was doing with my work. After all, she knew about my 36 hours stint and sleeping-over in office!

I can safely say, all those long hours will not be happening probably until some where in August this year when the build up of peak period starts for auditors. Sadly, it would not have been this bad if staff availability was greater. Less and less people are coming into this line due to the bad reputation it has among the public (i.e. long hours, low salary).

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

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...
