own agenda

everyone has their own agenda. whatever it is, one will act according to one's agenda in mind.

take for instance,me. this year, we are having inter department games where everyone will play as a team according to your team. yours truly have decided to join other department to play volleyball. yes, i begin to love this game. at first, i feel it is alright because i just want to play along with a friend from another department. she is a good friend of mine. best buddy since joining the firm. and the thought of me might be leaving next year means this will be a last chance we can play together.

then i went for practice, everything seems fine. but when it comes to player selection, the team mastermind decided that my friend and i are best separated to different team.

part of me feel. hmmm. if the reason they are playing is to win and my reason to play is for companionship, i believe i am feeling reluctant to play anymore. hence, i do not feel obligated to play anymore.

don't get me wrong, i still love volleyball. it's just that i don't want to play this time around anymore. maybe i should just ask that i become a reserve player. in that way, i will feel better.

it's alright. things will not always go the way you want it. but feelings do matter, i choose to follow mine. to my best buddy, may you win the volleyball competition!

the routine

tuesday: volleyball practice

thursday: volleyball practice

sunday: badminton

with all the lines up for sports, i feel energised and contented. everytime i exercise, i feel i have more energy after the resting for a bit after doing sports. contentment comes in when you are very busy and yet managed to do sports. only an auditor will understand. all work no play makes your life revolves around numbers only. sometimes, i just need to socialise for a bit. if not, i will go crazy.

to the one who danced

due to the nature of my work as auditor, it has become a norm to notice that colleagues come and go. usually the ones who come are juniors while those who leave are seniors. with this recent departure of another senior, i can't help but feel a bit sentimental about it. he, who is leaving, was the one who danced at client's place for us, the junior associates. the act was really silly and i laughed. it is the thought of trying to lighten us up that make me feel that i have made the right choice to choose this company all along. the strong point has always been the people. he is also the first senior i had for my engagement.

all the best to mr kok. may this be a new and wonderful beginning. 

on the side note, today marks the first attempt to marathon. wheeeee.... it is quite challenging. but part of the challenge was me reaching late due to poor time estimation. i started off late and yet i managed to complete 10km within 1 hour and 15 min. thats not too bad. *a pat on my shoulder. the senior did run in the marathon as well. though not said, i viewed as my departure gift to him. 

to the first and hopefully many more to come

the thing that is constant

when i first heard of this, probably it came from a friend who wrote this on my yearbook. at that time, i was still unsure what did this sentence meant. as life moves on, you learn the deeper meaning of this sentence. it probably reflects well on how i think, who i meet and the way i live now. at the very least, i have learned to view it from a positive note. when nothing is constant, it gives me the opportunity to grow, to learn and to be a better me. it also tells me that it is alright for people to come and go. as old friend goes, new friend comes along but the memory stays. it gives me a greater push to create better memory.

yea, the thing that is constant is nothing ever stop changing.

My first EY medal and hopefully, many more to come =D

Back to my usual active self. Bring it on.
