Another late night at work.....

I just got back about half an hour ago. I am totally buggered and my mind is drifting off slowly into slumber land. Deadline for this current job is somehow really tight and with the lack of manpower, the job will undoubtedly be delayed. The start of peak may well be around the corner; or it could already be the start of peak.

Once again, engaged with a public listed company; deadlines are always tight with all the regulations set by the Stock Exchange. Clients are rushing us, in turn our superiors rush the juniors like myself. I started work at 9:30 this morning and I have been working right up to 2 in the morning. At this point in time, the hold up is coming from the clients because like any auditor, changes and fluctuations that occur in the financial statements must be explained reasonably; and the clients have yet to get back to me on certain fluctuations which I have queried about.

Today was also the round table meeting, whereby all the seniors, managers and partners meet up to discuss the performance of staff during the year for the September promotion. Yes, I am one of the staff due for promotion this coming September. How did it go? I do not know since everyone seem to be secretive about the proceedings of the round table. My only hope is that I did well and I scored well to get a good promotion. After all, a reasonably good increment might be awaiting me; or I might only get promoted marginally. Whichever way, there are certainly more room improvements and I certainly would want to improve on any weaknesses I may have.

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...
