Moving forward.....

After due deliberation, I finally made up my mind to go for a secondment to tax advisory. In many respects, it is a different job scope and probably requiring different set of skills compared to my current job as an auditor.

Why the change? With all due respect, I have nothing against audit. For me, audit is interesting since I get to experience and look at different sets of controls and operations done in different companies. There are many different types of companies in the business world, ranging from small ones to really big ones. But, I think it is time to stop and relook at the which direction I am headed towards.

I believe I have reached a point where I just keep walking into a brickwall everyday I go to work. Personal goals I have set to meet on a monthly basis have become unachievable and I now start questioning my positioning in the auditing field. The moment I start doubting my own capabilities, that's when I know I've got a problem.

I remember walking into the firm the first day of work with the absolute gung-ho spirit beaming all over me! The only thing in my mind that time was a bright future ahead. After one and a half years, I now understand that one cannot force everything to bend the way you want them to bend. Muddling through a sticky situation can get you places but unfortunately one cannot muddle through forever. It simply drains your energy and motivation, leaving you in a very hateful state.

Well, after all the thinking and evaluation - I decided on the transfer but I thank God that I have been given the opportunity of a secondment first to see if I am comfortable in the new department before I actually do a transfer......... see how it goes from there! :)

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 ...

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
