One paper done, three more to go!

Today was an examination for Information Systems. Verdict? Erm, I don't know how well I will fair but I could answer the questions (at least that's what I think). So in terms of passing the paper, I think I stand quite a strong chance of passing. Thank God! Also thanks to the many that prayed for me - Darren, Alan, Max, Cheryl and Zo, Hamster, Mcee. For those I did not mention, thank you very much you have not been forgotten. Of course, my girlfriend for her support! ;)

Tomorrow's paper will most certainly be a challenge. It's Business and Corporate Law. Once again, I am not going to make any predictions on how it is going to turn out but I am going to try hard to pull through this paper. It is scary, since this is another paper I self-studied from start to finish. I have absolutely no idea whether what I studied is correct or wrong, and it is probably too late to find out anyway. So I am going to just try to walk into the hall feeling comfortable and composed at the very least (like my squash coach used to say, "even you don't stand a chance against your opponent, at least potray that you can!".

Once again, another prayer for tomorrow:
"Father God, I thank You for today's first paper. You indeed held my hand all the way through the paper. You allowed me to rely on You, and I am really happy for that Father God. Heavenly Father, tomorrow will also be another paper I self-studied, Business and Corporate Law. In terms of confidence level, I am a bit shaky but I know I will be fine as long as I hold Your hand and just walk along with You. Let me not worry about the paper but let me focus on my efforts. Take my mind off the results but place my mind in Your grace. The only way for me to go through this is, with You and only You. Father God, let Your grace be upon Alan and Jia Yee who are also taking other papers. Thank You, Heavenly Father...... in Jesus name, Amen."

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
