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).

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...
