Corporate Scandals

"The recent focus of corporate governance has developed into one of the most contentious issues facing accounting today since the global share market meltdown of the late 1980s and more controversial in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s with infamous corporate failures including Harris Scarfe, OneTel, Ansett and HIH".

The above-citated extract was from one of my early essay.... I think the later statement should go as: "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws". How true.. Hahaha.

P/s: This was not a mistake, it was intended to be a photoless blog.

State of Bein' Insensible

I sat here thinking, maybe thing is not like that and it just wasn't meant to be. I have said this number of times and I will say it again; life isn't about getting what you want, nor is it measured by how much you give out. Let's face it this way; you can't have everything you'd like to have. You must hold onto some things and let go of others. Learning to make those choices is one of the big lessons of this life. People have claimed that the one you love would not make you cry, the one does is not worth your tears. Again, love does not hurt until the person hurts you, you will not feel the hurt unless you truly love him/her. I wish my statement would go rather unequivocal in so far as everyone is being able to see. Nonetheless, understanding that things are easy said than done.... Fact is that truth always remains to be seen. So I thought ....... it may not be worthless but maybe it is just not worthwhile holding on so tightly to the things you desire.

Try Somethin'

When blue collar is not enough, when you are called upon to justify your competency, it is when you have to get refined when your mentality is still sharp.

It's My Name

William Chin - A name given by my parents, something that I didn't get to choose for my life. Albeit I am more affectionately known as Bill, as close friends and family have been calling me with Bill for most of my life. Since I have moved to WA, they prefer to call me Will.... Will? What is that? I got myself questioning why they called me Will. For quite some time I get used to it and kinda..... .. ermm.... don't really wanna use the word 'like'. Anyway, though folks are still sometimes confused with where Bill is made out of from 'William Chin Kian Woo'. However, A typical Englishman will not be unclear with that. Anyway, is it Bill or Will? Well, I don't really get to be called what I really want, do I?

Thx U

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice

When It Doesn't Matter

Mr. ABC
I will tell you something that has always been with me all this while. I am in love with a person that I shouldn't, now...and now I am hurting inside.


Miss. XYZ
What's wrong? How come you guys can't be together? And what is really holding you back?


Mr. ABC
I don't know, each day I just want her a little more .... I don't know what to do; I have felt so helpless lately. For once I thought that I'd do anything for her just to hold her back in my arms. Albeit with her remaining unimpressed.


Miss. XYZ
Oh dear, maybe you are just being lost. You know, if that is what you really want to do. You won't be like this now, getting so left out.


Mr. ABC
Maybe......... maybe you are right. But......


Miss. XYZ
Hey, you know. Loving someone is not like this. It takes you a lot more than whatever u have been through now, it grabs you inside out, and tosses you upside down. If you truly love someone, you will unquestionably be there for him/ her, you will need to take care of her without a single sign of moan. No matter what your positions are, your love to her is unchanged. You need to give and share what you've got even when unasked. You need to even be content when someday his/ her heart is no longer yours. The spirit of loving is undying no matter what the circumstances are. Could you do that?



Mr. ABC went off quietly. Ever since, Mr. ABC has established the habit of spelling love as.........C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T.

It's Sunday

My week has been absolutely chaotic, adding up to the fact today is Sunday. Well, I didn't use to enjoy on Sunday for some petty reasons. It may sound absurd as Sunday is the best time to get a bit laid back. The thing is I hadn't even yet had the time to 'hate' or think about this Sunday. This Sunday went very blurry indeed after the entire week of accumulated unslept hours and f*****g st*p*d soccer competition this morning. So, I was very uncompromising to the work-to-be-done for an extravegant afternoon nap, I only noticed that I hadn't had afternoon sleep for quite some time after waking up and cleaning my teeth (brushing my teeth really rang the belt as I questioned myself why I was brushing my teeth at this time - afternoon.)

If you don't treat yourself nice, no one will as much as to the extent you do. Being busy is not to have to run your own bus-i-ness, because the adjective of "busy" does not equate to the noun of "business". As letigimate as that.

10 Rudimentaries W 1 Quandary

1. TV - More into Australian Idol lately.
2. Work - taxation at large & 3 at small
3. COMPUTER!!!! I may lose quickness on reaction of long-distance vision. But will I go blind one day? I suppose I am more blinded by human errors.
4. Fruits - My favourite are kiwi, orange, banana, & apple.
5. Camera - Nikon, well though it should not fall under the list
6. Beverage - Been having Vita-milk (HK made), more ordinary ones are mocha, milo, choc milk, milk, etc.
7. Supplement - vit B complex, C, fish oil Omega 3. I tend not to take more than I actually need.
8. Toiletries - Vicks (addictive isn't it?), limp pump.
9. Phone - family, friends, loved one? Well, don't have one.
10. Sport - I try to play as much football as possible these days.

Does the ten-daily-necessity make up a balanced and healthy life?

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

While I was making out this blog, friend of mine actually buzzed me over the MSN and posted me a question that has really got to me.... I mean it has got me going crazy. It left us pulling our hair out of it!!

"how do you create, in Microsoft Word, a footer for the even number pages with the page number right aligned and a centred title of: Health Care. Then create a footer for the odd number pages with the page number left aligned and a centred title of: Health Care?"

Don't just read on!! If you know how, please e-mail or drop me a comment here.

Ta!!

Conservatism

A conservative man is who thinks that nothing should be done for the first time. A bold man is ... is senseless. If you stay still and are too afraid to take risk, you would risk even more. But if you think you can, you can, If you think you can't you are right.

Simple Fact

To Believe

Sometimes it seems to me that if there were god, then we would be the abandoned one, being left out and alone to make decision on our own. To make our necessity and essentiality – though important or trivial. But sometimes we believe in things so badly that as though they will be realised, as if our prayers were kept safe for god to answer. It is our belief in impossibility that makes it possible.

My Journey Begins Here

Not long ago I was so saturated with the fact that I could not get a job AND had yet to possess a PR. I could not tell where I would end up... procrastination was far from being written in my agenda, not even close. Whilst great deals of impetus had consistently been part of my unprogrammed plan. Frankly, I had done everything single thing that I could have possibly performed to get to where I wanted to be, to bring my daily more in line with that of my objective. Quite ironically but not unpredictably I was left with limbo with full of frustrations at times. I.e. things just did not turn my way. Kinda confessing to a friend of mine, I was then told this "your time will come". Till then I understand what it really means.

The lingering doubt had finally ended, my eagerly long-waited Aussie PR was finally granted successfully!!! A mixture of hectic schedule was also underway and playing a large part of my routine. The overlapping duties, or more appropriately my 'jobs' were that I was already working for 3G Hutchison Telecommunication, and as usual my petty income from private tutoring. John is my boss from 3G, who appreciates my efforts and has given me the opportunity to work under his realm. Though it is more down to him being shorthanded I reckon as a result of his expanding business in Perth. An overriding issue somehow sets in the day, which tends to have cooled off or I thought I had found my feet over the periods if you like. Anyway, the superseding issue is....... A new job offer came in! Well, it is much more than a job I highly regard it as a career.

Now, everything seems to go my way. A position that I have been longing for bl**dy g*dd*mn eight months. So there I went, having been through two interviews as well as a relatively long phone call with one of the partners. The timing of such offer coming in cannot be any more magical. But wait a sec, what happens to my current position then? A headache goes whilst another replaces, doesn't it? That is the law of reality. I was only left finding out that John - my current boss - has put me under his 'big plan' of business expansion in W.A. I am confident to say this; the newly adjusted offer that John outlaid before me on the coffee table was very exceptional for a new graduate. To be honest, I feel absolutely flattered and I dare going a bit further - honoured. In comparison, nothing should be taken for granted from that of accounting position to this one. What captivates me really is to get a feel of becoming an accountant. Hey Will, have ya made up your mind yet? YES!!! Wait a minute, maybe no... what if I stay? Will there be turning back?....... maybe I should stay on... no no.. I should move for that......NOOO!! AArrrgghhhh!!!

So much thinking was done, I thought to myself if I go for what I studied for, I may regret one day for not undertaking such an extremely rare career prospect. Again, if I do stay on and ultimately get promoted to a store manager by telling off myself what I initially wanted to do I may even regret more badly.

Alright people, don't really want to linger on this subject for too long but I think that pretty much wraps up how my life has been over the past eight months or so. Up to this point in time, it is absolute highlight of my year. It is also more than anything I could ever ask for from god.


P/s: It is my greatest gratitude of all to John Tan, Pasinotti Lim & Chong.

Pay-off

How long have you been working unrelentingly? How far back then when you first started to work like this? Everyone deserves something better, at least everyone deserves better. Driving yourself to the edge of exhaustion is never a good idea even you've got much to do. Listen to your body when it tells you when it requires a break, and don't push hard just because you think you can. Take care of yourself now rather than later.

Friend of mine forwarded this wicked scenery from Czech Republic. Woww~ I thought it was time for a vacation. Folks, maybe it's yours too. Haven't bothered thinking about this? Well, set yourself some short-term goals in order to be able to achieve those long-term ones. Now, admit yourself to a break.

Truth is....

If only things could be better, if only time would prove someone right, if only error could be rectified, If only preset would tell what lies ahead, if only I could live beyond the boundary at the same times disguise how I feel... I know they are all failing actions. If you don't wish to let someone to see your weaknesses, show it anyway. I thought I had been living under the truth of facts but only found out I was buried in an absyy with full of pretensions. "The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart."

When Da Goin' Gets Tough

When the going gets tougher, things are set to turn against it, spirit is then to be demoralised. Doesn't make sense? When you have your going going tough, you are the only one who can tell the difficulty. When your going gets tough it is also times where you tend to struggle from reality or self-generated depression - sinking feelin'. It is also time to step back and get refined.
