Home........

Have you heard the song by Michael Buble, called home? To me, its one of the best songs ever written in these few decades. Meaningful, slow but melodious in its own away. When I listen closely to the lyrics (get the lyrics from HERE), it talks about someone away from home probably in order to make ends meat, and in search for better pastures. When I listen to it, I am drowned out by the meaningful lyrics which sounds so good with his voice. I guess, even I miss home even though I am not exactly far from it.

The feel of entering my home after a tough day at work, just feels so comfortable. I may not hear a welcome from a fancy butler nor I do I see a large chandelier in my home, but deep down, I feel a nice warmth that makes me feel good and just tells me in my heart, "you are home, kid!".

The best part about home? I get to have a quiet time for myself just to simply space out into the ceiling and resting my mind from all the worldly commitments that simply makes life a lot more burdensome. And, not to mention I get to blog!

Most importantly, my home is some place I can always turn to in times of motivation drought or confusion. Which, I am facing at this point in time. Work is never ending. Not surprising at all! But worst of all, I have difficulties trying to find my groove. Everytime I think I have learned something, I end up finding out I got it wrong all the while. Figuritavely speaking, imagine yourself walking up a staircase, and everytime just when you about to reach the next floor, someone kicks you right back down to the very first step you begin with. Frustrating? You tell me!

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
