Back at work after 4 weeks of study leave and exams....... how does it feel?

Back to work today after all the crash studying and exam papers! Therefore, the most common question would probably be how did it feel to be back to work? Feeling was somewhat nostalgic, but worst of all - it was definitely a cold start for an engine not running for the past four weeks.

Thank God, today wasn't that busy so I had some time to warm up my engine. Tomorrow I'll be starting off in a new client under a different senior. This can only mean one thing - another opportunity to learn more things! That is always a good thing. And the firm replaced my laptop with a brand new one too, and it's a Dell Latitude! Cool eh (wish you had a job like mine eh)? hehehehehe....... the firm gave the whole set (i.e. bag, power supply, thumb drive, etc...)



All in all I cannot call it a bad day since I am back home earlier than usual, and actually have the time to work on my mix (which in case you didn't know, has been long overdue). Definitely made some progress with the mix, since I am working on it with a clearer mind and a less pressured brain. What more can one ask for when working on music?

Forget everything else, the most pressing issue lies right in front of my very eyes! For those used to studying and pressure cooking yourself before an exam, you should know this well enough. It is none other than the aftermath of books and notes piled up on my table and everywhere else in the room. Here are some photos of the mess, or should I call it natural work of art? :)

The aftermath, as you can see is on the floor, table and even some chairs around me. Goes to show how hard I was studying throughout the four weeks (or pretending to be studying?). No matter how hard my mind is telling me to clean it up, I am just going to defer it for the weekend. I am just way to buggered to clear the mess now..................

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...
