EY are the champions for 2007 IAFG squash event!

EY finally won! Finally! It was a wonderful feeling to know that I was part of a winning team. The finals was a closely fought match having both EY and KPMG relentlessly going up against each other. KPMG was defending its champion's title and EY was in search to end the drought.

I was set as the last player. At that point it was two wins per team, meaning all hopes were banked on me. Was I feeling any pressure? You bet I was!

For me, it was a truly tough match since my opponenet was an experienced player. May not be as young as I am but definitely experienced. The match lasted for four sets, and almost for 40 minutes.

For once in my entire life, I felt my body was really being pushed to the limit. The fact that I didn't have a regular squash game definitely had slowed my body down in many ways. Somehow, I pulled through and I won the match, therefore clenching the last win our team needed to be champions for this year.

Since this morning, my body has been aching and it'll probably stay this way until tomorrow. Worth it? I'd say it was a priceless moment for me. 1st year in the firm, 1st time playing for the firm and 1st win for the firm after so many years! :D

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 ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program
