New Stepping Stone

In response to See Voon's update, Yes, working life is totally different from college life. However my college life was not as fun as everyone else's because in order to just pass ACCA, you couldn't afford to waste anytime. So I would say that my college life is rather boring or lifeless. In comparison, I think my work life is much more fun as it gives me a lot freedom. No doubt that once you have started to earn your own $$$$, you have more responsibilities: Room rent, car instalment, petrol, parking, toll, maintenance, your life insurance, phone and internet bills, utility bills, food, money for parents, and at the end of the day, you would left a little for fun.

There's no such thing as a perfect job or a dream job. In every single place you are working, there bound to be something you love and something you hate. It is how you response to the job nature and the work environment that matters most. Most importantly, give it a 100% in everything you do. Some update from my part.

Currently, I am working at the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board. We are the body who sets the Accounting Standards which are compulsory for all listed and non-listed companies to comply with. I have here for a year plus now. And in January 2007, I will pack my bags and leave KL for "good". I will be starting my new job in KPMG Singapore in February as an auditor (Lin Xing will understand the nature of this job >.<). It's a job from "hell" but I still took it up as in my field/ industry, this is one of the jobs which would provide me with the necessary experience for me to qualify as an chartered accountant in 2 years' time (fingers crossed).

Overall, my life has been like a roller coaster, ups and downs. I am trying my best to lead a calm and serene life and style. I have been into the Theravadan Buddhism for more than a year now and it has taught me a lot of things about life. Not all things but at least, to a certain extent, I can better understand why certain things happened. Mostly at nights, I try to meditate for about 30 minutes or more. Just sitting down, leg crossed, and focusing on my in-breath and out-breath, and letting all go. In terms of relationship, I have been in and out of relationships for the past few years, until I came to a point where I say to myself, OK, enough, it's time to focus on other things.

Well, generally, that's me so far. Cheers! Be happy and lead a righteous life.
