The Path of Time

After 6 months, I finally finished reading this book. I finished last night before I knocked off for bed. 6 months for my standard is very unusual considering it usually takes me less than 3 months to finish a book as thick as this one. No, it is not because this book was not a good read but due mainly to the fact that I lack the relevant knowledge on such a topic. I am certainly no clergyman and do not think I am under the category of a God fearing person. Personally I believe there is a God who is constantly around us.  I constantly seek knowledge on this elusive topic because I think there is much for us to understand about God. Who, where, how, to answers these questions. Out there in the world there are many religions, beliefs and faiths all centered on one Almight Being - God. Ironically, there is no one person that can clearly tell or explain this God, and this one God of all these faiths may have stemmed from the same starting point. After all, a close study will point out that...

Global recession has kicked in with many strong economies being brought down to it's knees, and for most of us the term 'lavish' does not quite exist in our vocabulary. Spending is kept under tight control and saving is our main priority.  Hard times come and go but there is one thing all of can do to make the hard times feel less painful. Be thankful! :) Being thankful has worked wonders for me probably because I never had much to begin with, so being thankful was really all I could do. How I feel thankful: 1. I start by searching for things I can be grateful for - I've got my car albeit it is 20 years old, I get decent food everyday, I've got clothes to cover me, I've got a roof over my head during the rainy and sunny times. 2. Spread the joy of being thankful by sharing how grateful you are about something with a loved one or friend. You will probably find yourself smiling by the time you are done sharing about it.  3. There's always more to be grateful f...

My road isn't your road, my pain isn't your pain; Each person has hidden abilities to go forth and face any challenges. My tears are not you tears, my pain isn't your pain; Under the same skies with different glorious moments embeds the same feeling. There is no need to feel fear or guilt. Instead, we need to stay calm and keep running forward. Tell yourself, "I can do it!" Everyone is No.1! No matter the circumstances, never question if you can do it or you can't do it. Just take a deep breath to refresh yourself and embrace the future for it will not wait. Everyone is No.1! The secret to success lies in your willingness, where the hottest sweat flows from the most sincere heart; Everyone can truly be number one. My hands are not your hands, my mouth is not your mouth; As long as you have a heart, through the strongest winds and rain, we can all be best of friends. There is no need to feel fear or guilt. Instead, we need to stay calm and keep running forward....

Our days never really gets easier as we grow up and mature. From the day we are given birth to as a tiny toddler, as we go into kindergarten, primary school, secondary school then into tertiary studies and then finally coming out as a graduate to look for a job to make ends meet. For those who have been in the workplace would understand how tough it can be, having to deal with a myriad of complications from an unreasonable client, to having an uncooperative subordinate, to working for tough bosses; some if not all of us usually end up getting some sort of combination to the above complications and sometimes some unfortunate ones end up having to deal with all three misfortunes. Forget the workplace, some of us already have a load of other problems at home - car loans, kids' education, house loan, etc...... and the list goes on. Some people even have to deal with the death of loved ones. Times liks these, when one is dealt with tough reality blows really can really steam roll one...

Today's announcement of Obama's electoral success, I believe was no surprise to many of us. One's success also means another's disappointment - McCain has my respect having fought hard and tried hard during the electoral campaigns. Obama being elected as the President of the United States of America is not just about having a 44th President of USA. His election into the White House creates history - first black President, also the youngest ever person to be elected as the President of USA. Having missed his maiden speech as the President, I had to settle for a transcript of his speech although I really would have loved to see him giving the speech live. Having witnessed his debate with McCain, I really like his charisma and his innate ability to speak sounding with confidence yet not sounding pompus, his unique ability to stay on the very fine line that divides confidence and arrogance. Having the majority of Americans vote him clearly spells out one thing - they are re...

Yesterday was my birthday but, I don't really celebrate my birthdays for reasons I myself do not know. Anyway, at the office my boss decided to celebrate my birthday after she found out that yesterday was my birthday. I was called into her room for a short discussion. While talking to her, her room door suddenly opens and I get a group of people singing a birthday song for me. I think I was so happy and surprised I ended up blushing...... It's almost 11pm now and I am so happy I can't seem to find what words to put into this blog entry. I guess I'll just keep it short by saying thanks to all those people who arranged the surprise - you know who you are...... thanks also to those who sang the birthday song as well....... I was very happy and the cake was very tasty too. THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart!
