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..................

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

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

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
