Today marked a significant step in my life. I have again committed to another career move, 3rd one in my short stay in the land of Kangaroos! However, this is very much different from all my other jobs.
Hope is such wonderful thing. It kept me......hoping.... ;p
I am hopping off the audit bandwagon after a total of more than 3.5years, which is more than what I expected to last. The profession is similar wherever it is. The grass may not always be greener the other side! Hehehe..........I have gotten plenty of feedbacks that led to the same conclusion - I lack the actual accounting and finance operations' experience.
This company, my soon-to-be employer, offered me a key to unlock the door to plenty more doors. All I need to do is to grab it, unlock it and step through the door and prove myself (and everyone else) that I will succeed in what I will be venturing.
Hope will keep me ALive. Hope will strengthen me. Hope will ultimately prevail.

Is It A Dilemma?
Dilemma Dilemma Dilemma
Decision Decision Decision
Destiny Destiny Destiny
Decision Decision Decision
Destiny Destiny Destiny
After weeks of searching, with some assistance, I have finally received something that I have been waiting for. It is exciting yet daunting but it is something that I would like to step into for the sake of my development/progression in life.
Let me rewind a little bit prior to the searching of that something. Plenty of soul-searching I have done and yet there were various circumstances that prevented me from that something. There were a handful of friends who told me that there are much bigger things out there as they have ventured there themselves. The world indeed is much bigger than what we imagine.
Back to the present. I got calls from agents regarding opportunities. Some I rejected without even having a second thought. There were a few that I rated highly in my book but then the negative feedbacks are disappointing. It's something I lack but the doors were slammed on me.
Anyway, I have been given this one golden opportunity to venture out from the profession. Surely, I will not going to miss this opportunity to step through the door that is shown to me. Work hard I will not only for my own growth but to prove that I am capable of whatever that are thrown to me. I am what I am to be and it's all in the mind! Destiny is a result of my decision.
Wish me luck then!

New Toy for Me
Boys will be boys. As we grow older our toys get more expensive but not necessarily bigger.
I'm typing this post with my new laptop, ASUS F3Jr, which I bought it yesterday after weeks, if not months, of waiting! This is my first computer which I bought with my hard earnt cash. I have had only 3 personal computers. First being the one bought by dad for my college studies in 2000 while the second was a MiTAC laptop bought prior to my studies in Perth (which is being used by my mom at home).
Ever since started working, I have been using laptops issued by employers. IBM T22 and T41 from PwC, HP Compaq nc6220 by WB and KPMG. I still prefer IBM T41 to the HP but I'm getting used to the interface of this beasty monster!
The specs are amazing given the price is relative affordable. Given the similar specs, the branded laptops are more expensive. The following are some of the specifications:
Am I delighted with my new toy? I love it and I'm sure it will really help in my photography!

Lucky Me
In the gloomy chilly winter season, there seems to be some lights.
Weeks ago, I submitted for a lucky draw for one of the 10 sport watches that monitors heart rate. Pictured below is the Oregon Scientific's VIBRA Trainer Elite. Upon reaching home, I saw a package jutting out in my tiny mailbox. The initial thought was it's a Return to Sender package. Since when I am so lucky, especially with lucky draw?!! But I WON!!! Wow......
Hopefully, there will be more lucky days ahead for me.............!!! Perhaps, my days may just get better and better!!! From the photo being picked to be included in Schmap Map in my last post.
On another note, I have watched Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. It's a dark movie compared to those before it. Will Harry die? I like one of the lines in the movie. "There're always good and evil in us. It's up to us to choose which one to live with."
Til then.........

Photo Inclusion in Schmap
I am aghast when I read the email from the Schmap Guide. Check it out here.
On the safe side, a snap shot of the website is attached below.
It's not a big thing but it's definitely a surprise. The photo is the statue of a knight on a stallion outside the State Library of Victoria. The same photo was also featured during the PMA Australia in May 2007.
