peace that you are seeking

with the recent chao happening in the country, i find that everyone is feeling angry and revengeful. first thing first, what do you get from retaliation? while others do harm to you, shall you do harm to others to prove them wrong. at times like this, i tend to be quiet. not because i have no opinion. i understand the concept of peace.

peace is always sought inwardly. what others did shall not make an impact on you. hence, in order to restore the peace we use to enjoy, look into yourself. is there something you are not happy about that is causing your uneasiness? when you learn that you are in peace with yourself, that is all that matters.

for those who are causing or inciting the riots, i strongly encourage to them reflect. passing anger will not solve the problem permanently. ask yourself. are you happy with your current state. what can you do to achieve the inner peace.

learn not to listen to others but oneself. then we can start striving for a once, peaceful malaysia.

26 is not just a number, it is an age of self discovery

as i reach 26 in age number, i feel there is a part of me whom wish to learn more about religion. people might ask why at such an odd time. to be exact, the desire to acquire knowledge in the spiritual regard has never been foreign to me. since i was in my teenage years, the thought of reason human exists, particularly myself, appeared. hence, my curiosity to know more about oneself; hence the journey to search for me began.

"to be a better self than yesterday" is my motto in life. if i believe that today i have lived better than yesterday, i will be contented. with this in mind, i decided to take on a year of religious classes. i still continue my usual life : work, social and family. yet, this two-hour weekly lesson is slowly makes me understand my purpose in life better. in addition, this journey is taken with a close of friend, whom i have known for more than ten years. 

it is revealing and enlightening

thank you very much to my friend (ms chong) who introduced this class to me. though i am a chinese banana mentally (classes conducted in 100% mandarin), the yearning to learn myself better hopefully can overcome it all. #language should not be a barrier to learning#

“In everything the middle course is best: All things in excess bring trouble to men.”

this phrase is very much needed in malaysia now.

blogger feels the middle path is not necessarily that bad after all. you learn how to balance on the fence without falling.

the place with tall concrete trees

i have just returned from the land where trees are made from concrete pillar structures and surrounded by living plants. what a way to describe this land. it is the land of the south where i stay currently. there is much to see, experience and think. 

for one, i love how system and forward thinking can brings this land to great heights. it is with these two qualities that i believe this place has prospered so much compared to my dear bolehland. from the mass rapid transit to residential housing, everything is so well planned that i feel out of place. to be frank, yours truly is not a systematic person when it comes to his daily life. i prefer the random. that's why there is a term for it. there is the cons of being random though. yet, you have no choice when it comes to preference. it is similar to why you like the colour red over yellow. as simple as that. 

for two, i fancy how i included two swimming sessions in two different places during my visit to this place. one: at the community pool. two: at the recently completed building sports arena. it is built to cater for 2015 asian games. i guess i have beaten the foreign atheletes to it by trying the new pool. my comments: clean, cold and refreshing. like it much.

for three, i did the non-touristy stuffs. i participated in the art crafting session at esplanade. i think it was meant for children but the inner child in me decided to participate along. i like to draw and create things. the idea is quite well incorporated too. in short, you have to cut the sponge to a certain shapes drawn, paste the cut sponge on wooden cube provided, colour the sponge with water colours and chop them on the piece of oil paper. result: a christmas tree with dragonflies overflying the tree with four little bears at the botttom plus lights overlooking the overall picture.i told my friend that is really the highlight of the day and they laughed. i like how the simple this little thing satisfies my inner interest which is drawing. i also did cycle. i cycled from bedok to changi airport (east coast park). really really like this when you can watched the plane flying above your head. the experience is just breathtaking. i literally stop breathing for a moment there. additionally, i just lied down at garden of the bay and beaches. my friend labelled me as a hobo. if that what makes a hobo. then i am hobo Seng then. i will get whatever label that is being thrown at me as long as it describes me well.

blogger rhyming the "thinking out loud" by the soulful sheeran

photocopy machine.....brings back memories

it has been the same old routine. work, home, eat with friends, go back malacca and all over again. currently, i am working on a new engagement located in kuala lumpur. it is a fund management company. i am assigned two junior associates under my care.

as one of them is fresh graduate joining the working force. it is fun to see that he knows nothing. first, he was standing there, looking at the photocopy machine with a blur face. when he saw me looking at him, he said, "sorry, i don't know how to use a photocopy machine." i almost wanted to laugh back then but my instinct told me not to. it will be hurtful for his morale as a new staff. let's just be cool. i said, "it's alright," and proceeded showing him the way. this act of mine triggered a question. when did i become so familiar in using photocopy machine. i feel like an office boy. haha. nobody will tell you this but auditor does do some of the office boy job. send letter la, scan document, print document, photocopy document and filing. wow. i would say all this admin work stands about 20% of our working time. but it's not unusual. for the assurance world, documentation sums a huge proportion of evidence upon inquiries from superior as well as regulators.

i can handle you like a pro now. *proud

today marks 2 years 8 months 7 days of working. i can safely say i am contented as an auditor right now. but i am beginning to feel out of place. i think it is about to find a new lead. where it can motivates me and something i am deeply passionate about.
