Its already nearing the end of January, when I said that I hope the year will pass quickly, I didn't think it would actually speed by. 2010 sped by and 2011 right now is attempting to do the same. For me this year would be a year of all things new, some things less, like the hair on my head, some things more, like increased maturity to accept what lies ahead I hope. In my daily worklife (I speak as if I've worked for ages when actually this is only my 4th week working :D) especially on my way to work, i encounter so many people, yes squeezing every morning with the rush hour crowd ain't no joke, and often times I think about if these people are in the same mundane plight as me. Most in the trains everyday have to go to work because they do it for a living, it may not be out of passion or willingness, more out of survival than anything. I see bored and agonized faces at times, grumpy from being nestled out of bed by the alarm. I see passionate faces sometimes, though rare as it may be, all rearing and ready for another exciting day at work. At times, we neglect our passion and burning desire simply because we don't find it feasible.In society today, if you were to choose between one of the big four professions or being an artist which you have passion ever since your childhood days, I would think most would just do what they feel would support them and give them food on the table everyday. Just like that, passion fades away like a candle reaching the end of its wick and we are left with nothing but a memory of what we used loved to do. Always I've thought to myself, when the push comes to shove, when the most critical steps in life approach me, what decision will I make?

That's why faith is paramount, with no one to lead you or guide you, God always has away and we can all take comfort in the knowledge of that fact.

I realised I had drafted this post a few days back and I haven't posted it up till today which is already 28th a friday.

Adding on to the already many words in the post, i made an important realisation today. That when you're in an environment for so long, you adapt and get used to the things around you . A few weeks back when i started out I had no friends in this workplace, now getting to know how warm everyone is made me think about the sincere friendships i've made here and how its hard to forget everyone and their hospitality. This experience has certainly made me grow farther in life, pass exteriors and ingrained notions, into bonds that last. I now have a new found respect for office life and what accountants do.

The other day, my dad pulled me and my other cousin Dannial into the conference room to talk to us about reading financial statements. To hear my dad speak so passionately about the thing he loved so much really made me think twice about rejecting accounting from my career path. He like me had come from a jc with no accounting knowledge and to make it so big thus far really was a test of grit and determination for him. He has made known that if i could i was welcome to join the profession but till now I hesitate in where my future really lies. Even though I went back late that day the thoughts never left me of how he was passionately speaking about expanding his company into many new horizons. I just wish I knew what my passions were. I just wish.

Dear future,

I'll leave you in the hands of God

Sincerely, a boy who knows nothing of tomorow
