The buffet table.....

The buffet table...... yes, the long table that tempts us all the time with wonderful varieties of food. The table that brings us the joy of filling our stomach with all sorts of indulgences. The table that whispers in your ears, "forget the cholestrol for now, you can put on the extra pounds, your tummy needs the food." 

I was at a buffet restaurant last night, courtesy of a good friend of mine who had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon. The moment you walk in, if you don't see the food, you'll smell the food. Anyway, for the benefit of those who do not know this place it's Jogoya Japanese Buffet. It's the highest floor of Starhill Gallery KL. 

My friend and I had a lot of good food, so much so that I barely felt like walking to the car after we finished our dinner. Anyway, I am not going to give a very descriptive write up on how my friend and I indulged in food and made ourselves feel guilty about it.

I would like to direct your attention to just how the buffet style dining works - you walk up to that long table filled with good food and you go on to take whatever dish you want. Before you know it, you find yourself carrying all sorts of dishes of your choice and you are probably already salivating, anticipating the food in your mouth. 

What we do everyday is very much like being in front of a buffet table. We actually go out there on a daily basis to try to get what we want. The world at large is our buffet table. Good stuff hardly ever comes our way. Every now and then we do find ourselves being blest by our loved ones or maybe very close friends of ours. Good times come and go but never stay for long.

Go on out there and reach out for what you believe in and strive for........ make the world you buffet table and get the goodies for yourself!

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
