Last Post Before A New Blog?

Hmm... I've been away from this blog for months because I've been so empty in my life other than study, study and study! Days had been pretty miserable for me. I had been made psychologically tired thanks to all those assignments. It made me feel really bad when there are somebody who feel reluctant to contribute in any way to group assignments. Not because of the extra workload I needed to do, but because they give up the knowledge that can be gained from assignments. I always think that assignment is a more practical way to learn rather than those rigid examinations whereby the knowledge learnt from there is always more or less outdated.

Currently I am preparing for my finals, but not much deal here really. Financial Statement Analysis is supposed to be the subject that can revised with shortest time. Reading more FSA notes won't help seriously. It's about how you interpret and this should be trained by doing past year papers. Still reading notes? Think again.

There are two massive memorising subjects namely Business Law and Introduction to Risk Management and Insurance. Well, quite bored to memorise and not much capacity left for storing numerous terms as well. I'm not planning to read much but I'll do past years more for Business Law. Write stores memory faster and longer than read.

Macroeconomics isn't supposed to be hard for AS students. Those who struggle you should really consider whether you should stay in AS course or not. Bear in mind that all the while you will be dealing with finance and economics in actuarial field apart from complicated mathematics.

Thankfully Critical Reading and Thinking doesn't require much reading. This is the same for Loss Models (not in any means to insult others).

---

I am looking forward to rejuvenate in the next coming semester.

First and foremost, I'll register for my SOA FM examination for the coming December. A good time in fact as I'm only having two subjects next sem with Moral - which doesn't affect CGPA and only shows pass/fail on the result slip - and Sociology - which in no way is a core subject of AS - on hand. Furthermore I'll only have three study days, which gives me ample of time to prepare for the exam. I like SOA exam more than UTAR exam anyway. Computerized, objective, great exam environment, challenging... the only downside is the fee.

Secondly, I'll try to get a job. Tuition teacher is what I am aiming for. Maybe I'll try to get a December PC Fair job as well. And I'll try to sell shoes thanks to the opportunity that Wai Kit found. I'll try my best to get at least RM1k.

Thirdly, I'll want to spent more time on leisure. I had been disappeared from basketball court for months due to laziness. I had not went for karaoke for a long time. I had not take any photo for months! I want to do all these as much as I can in this coming months.

---

My birthday is coming very soon but I guess I'll go through it alone again as UTAR never fails to spoil my birthday and holiday.

I've been socially empty for months. Not really a good female friend since foundation, let alone a girlfriend. I feel motivateless for that. Is there any girl that have the ability to bring the best out of me? I doubt that now. Unless somehow I get to know Jolin. Soooo impossible.

This should be my last blog post for this blog. I will open a new one. MYXVIII - Min Yang, 18; now I'm almost 20!

Thanks for spending time reading from top to bottom!

P/S: Maybe not the last post. The last post should be the link to my new blog! =P

超级德国

无可否认，我是一个非常欣赏德国足球的人。

德国人那顽强的斗志和激情总是深深地感染了我。

刚刚德国对英国的超级大比拼，两国队员不单只是为荣誉而战，更是为了两国足球和二战时期的恩恩怨怨而战。可想而知这会是一场多么精彩的比赛呀！

事实上他们两队那么早相遇实在可惜，应为实在太精彩了！

英格兰糟糕透顶的防守让日耳曼当家射脚克洛斯打入了第一球。而不久之后，白衣军团大公无私的配合让波多尔斯基打入了漂亮的第二球。

落后两球的英军当然不甘示弱。丢球罪人之一厄普申为三狮军团扳回一城，而兰帕德更是用自由球把皮球透过门楣第二次射入德国的大门。

可是很可惜，裁判并没看到这进球。所以2-1这个比分带到了下半场。

来到了下半场后，德国完全掌控了战局。两个漂亮的反击让穆勒梅开二度！当中兰帕德又有一次射门击中门柱！4-1，德国完胜英国，让后者耻辱性地出局……

无可否认，英军的确运气不足，但是，与德国相比，他们配进八强吗？我的答案？问我一千次都是不！

德国团队配合一流。英国？一堆各自为政的攻击群。

德国速度快，反击犀利。英国？人家都四、五人反击到他们的禁区了，他们的后防才姗姗来迟地赶上。

德国队虽然防守略嫌不稳，不过盯人方面还是算蛮杰出的。英国？竟然离谱到让对方在自己的半场玩一个传球大龙凤！

如果让英格兰晋级就真的让我痛心了！这样世界杯就会多一场乏味的球赛！

对我来说卡佩罗根本就是个昏帅！放出兰帕德、杰拉德、鲁尼、迪福这些需要他人做球的攻击手，却没派多少人去喂他们好球，简直就是一场灾难！

许多传球高超的边锋如贝尔和阿什利杨恩甚至连二十三人大名单都不入！在贝克汉姆因伤缺席的情况下，这根本就是一个灾难性的决定！这位意大利名帅简直输得狗屎一般！

看看德国，年轻、速度快、有够团结。他们个个带着十八般武艺进攻，可不像英格兰的当家球星般拼死拼命的尝试表演个人秀，一点创造力都没有。

我不得不佩服德国足球进步的速度，要知道他们23人大名单里可是清一色来自德国联赛啊！

看来英超有必要向德首取经了，不然英式足球只会裹足不前。呜呼哀哉……

顺道一提，英格兰的球迷，别再被媒体骗倒了，英格兰的“强”可是被媒体吹棒而来的。

Mark Paston

He just helped New Zealand in a 1-1 draw against World Champion Italy.

YES, THIS 78TH RANKED COUNTRY HAD JUST DRAWN THE LAST WORLD CUP CHAMPION WHO IS CURRENTLY RANKED 5TH!!!

He's handsome, and looks younger than he is. Moreover, he's so steady when he's saving, and shows a lot of confidence for every successful save.

MARK PASTON, YOU'RE THE BEST!

Exam Update

Hmph... Speechless in overall, so let's just go into specific subjects...

Basic Professional Writing - Just writing. Nothing special. 5%A, 70%A-, 20%B+, 5% lower than that.

Theory of Interest - Did quite well... On the A/A- fence perhaps. 40%A, 55%A-, 5% lower than that.

Prob & Stat II - Much easier than tests. However, the workings are still to tedious. Lack of time. 5%B+, 45%B, 45%B-, 5% lower than that (bad grade due to bad coursework).

Linear Algebra - Well, quite ok, but I think it's not enough to get an A. 15%A, 75%A-, 10% lower than that.

Intermediate Calculus - Guess what? I only need 67/100 on my final paper to get an A, and I can guarantee at least 70 marks secured. 80%A, 15%A-, 5% lower than that (unless the grading has been readjusted).

Business Accounting - I think I can predict that already. Account should not be a problem for those who took SPM accounting. 85%A, 10%A-, 5% lower than that (hope so).

I've been blanking for quite an amount of questions for this finals. Too bad. =(

But one thing that I've been proud of is my stress management ability. I brought nothing about study into my slumberland~ Keke...

unitreg.utar.com.my

This is UTAR's 3rd semester in using the flexible timetable system whereby students can choose their own timetable at unitreg.utar.com.my. Now let's hear out the comments of students about it...

Hew She Ying i wanna take my breakfast ah!!!!keep sitting in front of "the page not found" make me cant leave the comp!!!!

Wen X Mun WTF!!! I purposely wake up so early in the morning!!! But U juz stuck me inside n wasting my time without getting any subject done!!! Now..

Out of all, the best comment is this>>>

Low Zhen Hui : I could probably build a full-scale Titanic replica using cereal bars while waiting for the UTAR unitreg to sort itself out.

Pre-Finals

I was quite amused of my performance this semester.

First and foremost, I have my Prob and Stats coursework marks scored less than half of full marks. Just couldn't believe how this subject could take me down.

Secondly, my Linear Algebra's quiz actually got 8/25. This is kind of unacceptable as the subject is easy to understand. Fortunately I didn't make too much of mistakes for my test 1 and test 2.

Thirdly, as opposed to most, Theory of Interest doesn't seem too hard for me. At least for me it's easier than Prob and Stats. Again, it was a big failure in test 1 but the deficit was recovered due to the easiness of test 2.

Fourthly, Calculus became a big surprise due for me as my coursework marks is near to full. The first test was leniently treated so I got full marks despite scoring only 33/40. The quiz is better than expected, and test 2 is ridiculously easy for a university's standard. It's really speechless as literally the time I spent (and perhaps most of us) is just too little for this subject due to the inability of lecturer to deliver the knowledge to most of us.

The rest? Well, nothing special, so they will not really leave me an unforgettable memory.

And somehow I just couldn't push myself to study even though I have a SOA test 3 weeks after the finals.

Finally some update, dude. =)

真有够他妈的滑稽

某帮派，因当权者滥权，搞到一山藏二虎。

诱因杀出另一个程咬金，把那两个假面虎结盟起来，以便把那介入者杀个片甲不留。

但是，原来两个假面虎中有一个变脸技术更高超，迅速又跟那个程咬金合作把它原本的搭档拉下马。

结果，此帮被逼从新洗牌，还要搞到该帮元老复出江湖，以便把这些猪狗不如的废物扫地出门。

因为，这些废材，只顾着尔虞我诈，而忘了当下子民可是会对糟透的领导层起义造反！

那两条狗最好早点去死吧！搞到整个帮派乌烟瘴气！狗！狗！狗！狗！

注：如有雷同，纯属巧合。

Tests

I think I've created a new page in my history...

Lowest Test Score In My Life!!!

And that's Fundamentals of Linear Algebra, which suppose to be one of the easier subjects.

I've totally no idea on how to solve the questions which I simply write something.

Less than 50% of the test mark is coming... Something worse than my Biology monthly test during my secondary school, which was 51...

P/S: I won't feel sad, cause there's no point when they are to many tests coming which give me the chance to claim back all the lost marks...

Random#2

1. Unknowingly dropped my ID card today. Thanks to the lovely couple Ashley and Sunny for discovering and informing me. ^^
2. Tried out Caltex Ron95 today. Silent! Even my air-cond sounds louder than the engine. Virtually almost no difference when before and after start or off engine.
3. Saw KK for four times already yesterday and today in the campus. I've only seen him once last week. LOL.
4. Learning 4-player mahjong. So interesting! Let's play buddies! Hahahahahahaha!

Random

1. The true challenges of actuarial science started as the questions are much more logically stimulating. It gives me motivation to do the tutorials. =]
2. I found out that my English writing skills had leapfrogged so far as compared to the time before I joined university. =)
3. Finally clicked the cash out button of Nuffnang. RM52.90 is going to reach my home in about a month. =D

Stay tuned!

The Power Is Back!

In case you don't know, knowledge is always a big source of power for me. I don't know why, but it keeps me fresh.

And theory of interest is now giving me a strong power supply to me! My interest to study is revived!

And Rooney has just thumped in four goals to end my day perfectly! =)

Last Post of the Year

Uhm... Let's end the blog of 2009 with events about me at this very last day of the year.

At morning, during the journey I fetched my sis to work, KF gave me a call to ask me to go hot spring. Well, I declined the day before as they said they would depart on nine, which I would definitely couldn't make it as I had to fetch my sis around 10. But it happened that they departed later than what they planned to. So, ON!

It's about 20+ kilometres before we finally reached that hot spring. Out of our surprise (WK, KF, Keith and me), it isn't really somewhere looked like a hot spring. It was actually an enclosed space hidden behind a school of a Malay kampung so you are a genius if you can find it without any guidance. And yea, it's a man made pool with the springs channelled from the river, for your information, which is again much much out of our imagination... uhm, mine, at least.

It might looked like a "noob" spring, but don't judge a book by its cover. The sulphured water is boiling hot! Even my feet which are the parts of my body with the most dead skins couldn't held on for the intense heat for a longer time at the beginning. It's like BBQ-ing-your-skin type of pain.

Of course, after some time our legs are used to the heat and so it's time for the body. Wai Kit kept entertaining us by letting us to splash those boiling springs on his body with him releasing the scream of pain (exaggerated version) continuously in a very horny style. Lol. We all took turns splashing each other after that to enjoy the torturing healing powers of the spring.

We changed our clothes not long after that and went to Poon Kee at Mahkota to enjoy the desserts before going home.

Whereas during night, we went to Mahkota's Look Out Point again. Speechlessly, the same menu with the one at the main Look Out Point. The drinks costed RM5 only here and were much larger than the one at the main branch...

I think it will be the very end of my last post of 2009. Well, wish everyone a Happy 2010 in advance! Have fun!

ZERO NINE

It's the last day of 2009 and in approximately 10 and a quarter of hours all of us will have to welcome the last year of the first decade of the second millennium AD. Well, let's just share with you guys what happened to me this year...

January was quite a sad month due to the death of my grandpa just days before Chinese New Year. The festival was filled with glooms and glooms but nevertheless, it managed to tighten up the family bonds of us.

In April I made a drama with my group members to fulfil our assignment. Well it was a very great process and we had managed to give quite a spectacular performance. It was also my first time working with Windows Movie Maker to make a pretty cool opening. YY, Warren, HH, Koon Wayne! It's very fun to work with you all! ^.^

On May I went to Genting and stayed overnight with friends. Well, it's just another thrill at theme park... but the existence of buddies really made a big difference! I tried solero for the first time anyway and hell, my whole body shivers!

On June I went to a seminar about investing at stock market, but nothing much learned... And I don't have the capital to invest as well. =.=

On July I went to Bon Odori aka the Ghost Festival a la Japanese style. Well, quite interesting to try on their culture dance and looking on the cute kimonos. Thanks Ro-Ba-To San (my Japanese lecturer) for the recommendation and all the friends who took me there!

The next day I went to Jog For Hope after being suggested by Chloe de Clowbaby aka the cute tiny junior from my high school. She had graduated though. Unfortunately, this junior vanished from the scene after successfully tricking me for doing the charity and hence I ended up going with Wai Kit only. =p And more unfortunately, Wai Kit overslept at that day and so we reached very late. The consequences were we failed to obtain the really cool t-shirt and we got stared by people who nearly reached the finishing line when we had just started. Still it's always great to do something for charity. =)

On July I had also set up a blog about a famous browser game of football - fantasy premier league. I try to identify good players and give my tips to others (although I'm not really great about it) and I am very happy to see such a good response from readers after months setting up the site. It had gave me quite a good amount of income as well. =)

On September I had yet again celebrated my birthday alone due to the screwed schedule of UTAR - the study week before finals are always fall on the week of my birthday. This time I ate a cake during my birthday which I had long omitted to do during my birthday. Albeit it's alone, still I feel better doing this. =)

On October I ate at Tenji with friends for the very first time. The restaurant is classy in decor, although the food variety is certainly absent. A four star from me.

The day after the meal at Tenji I went for a Penang trip, more precisely, a food hunting trip. Unfortunately, it was the same gang like the Genting Trip again (I don't mean that I'm bored with you guys ok?). We ate for maybe around five meals daily during the trip to try out all the delicious stuffs there. Thanks for Hock Heng and his family and also his girlfriend for their courtesy. Haha.

On October I joined eTiQa Takaful and worked at their counter booth once during November. Well, the experience is very valuable but not the reward. Nonetheless, it helped me to join Allianz Insurance.

On December I played Sky Trex with my degree close mates and it was an unforgettable experience. I also joined Allianz this month and was involved in selling party sprays in such an exciting way during Christmas Eve.

Finally, thanks to all who make my life a true life; sorry to all whom I have offended. I wouldn't have grown up without you guys and girls. 2009 certainly wasn't the best for me but it will definitely served a strong platform for me to leap to greater heights in my life. Goodbye zero nine!

Compacted Week

This is unarguably the most compacted sem break I have ever had.

Right after my last paper of my final exam, I went to sing at Greenbox with Tok, Pei Wen, YY and Kah Fai. It was great after all to finally have a chance to sing those new songs especially when there's a female to sing those duet hits.

Btw, where's the photos?

Just moments of rest after the tiring and fun singing and that night, I was on for a movie with similar gangs again. It was the great movie Avatar~ A lot of uniqueness I have found in that movie and the theme was superbly strong - nature. And it's kind of funny for being late for it and hence pretty confused about the connection between the human and the avatar.

Due to extreme tiredness, I decided to stay overnight at YY's house directly after the movie and slept till the noon of next day. Then we played the most favourite sports game on PS3, FIFA 10. We played tournament mode and got knocked out together at the round of 16. Lots of fun~

Wednesday aka the next day I woke up at 8 as I was going to join others for a futsal game at the Challenger (the one that you can see beside the RM1 toll). Stanley as expected, was dominating the game, while Jun Kit was the unlucky one to get one cannon shot from Stanley onto his abdomen and another collision with Stanley to get into a whole day of dizziness. Lol. Again, I went to YY house to play FIFA again. It's lonely at home~

Thursday was yet again a fun day. I went to Jusco with my family and got two jeans, a box of masks and a scrub, which was equivalent to great losses of cash from my mum's wallet. Hahaha. Then I went for a Christmas Eve job at night to sell sprays at Sunway. Unfortunately, cops simply don't allow it so my tauke led us to sell sneakily through a variety of fun ways such as roaming around the restaurants to sell instead of the gathering point for countdown and selling in small bags as if we were the ones who buy the spray instead of sell. My boss was a generous one as even though he incurred some amount of losses due to strict monitoring of the police, he still gave us additional bonuses as we helped him to pack the unsold spray during midnight. For me it's like doing so little so get my salary. Lol. Only managed to slept at 4.30am that day anyway.

Christmas Day was quite terrible as we watched Jay Chou's movie - Treasure Hunter. Blurry themes, unimpressive actions, dull storyline, cheap CGs... Only Eric Tsang was shining throughout the movie. A fail for that movie. That night we went for somewhere famous between Ampang and Hulu Langat (I hope you know where) for a dinner at a restaurant only to know that they have a "special" menu which only provide luxurious choices. Even the cheapest one costed RM30 exclusive of 10% service charge. What a fraudulent business strategy. =( The night was yet spent at YY's house again to play. I had gone there so frequently this week even the guard recognises me already. Lol.

Today, I am going for another party. See? It's compact. Haha.

Journey On The Sky~

Guess what? This semester's final was just so free that my mates and I could actually sandwich a trip between the only two examinations we took! Well, Taman Pertanian Malaysia which had given me one of the best memories in my life was the venue again but this time, the activity was much different - SkyTrex Adventure!

So what is SkyTrex all about? Basically it is a series of thrilling activities up high from the ground such as flying fox, zigzag bridge etc. And you know what? It actually reach the height of 17 metres at the highest point! How high is 17 metres? Just climb to fourth or fifth floor and look to the ground and you will know. But don't worry, there's safety gear. =)

Since we were going at weekdays, there is a requirement in which we will need to have 25 people to book. Surprisingly, Joyce was able to recruit for 33 people! That morning, we travelled to PJ UTAR to meet with others first.

We reached at sometime around ten if not mistaken and waited for others before we entered Taman Pertanian Malaysia. I was quite disappointed with the fee as we were required to pay RM3 entrance fee for TPM and then only pay RM35 for SkyTrex. A very cunning strategy.

After much wait, we were given some briefing and trainings with those testing platforms which include a flying fox, a bridge and a rope swing. Here's a cool shot of me...

And yea, thanks for the guide Tjun (if not mistaken) for his humorous briefing. After much try on those easy as a pie challenges, it's time for real! The first time we actually had to do were to climb as high as this! See it below:

12 metres! The beginning was tough already. After that there were a series of challenges which I think pictures are better descriptions than words. Enjoy them below:

Sorry for all the models here as I used your photos without your prior permission. XD

The challenges took me approximately 60 minutes (actually I didn't really know) and when we were back to the ground, there's still some that were yet to start their thrill. And guess what? I actually saw one of the 8TV celebrity, Qushairi here videoing for a programme which I don't know. Not tempted to get a photo with him though. Half of the finished gang including me then headed to the Four Seasons House thanks to the courtesy of one abang there who drove us there with a Hilux.

Another 3 ringgit for entering the house and yea, it was winter again just the same as last time I went. Freezing~ And guess what? I actually landed my bare feet onto the ground and the cold receptors on my feet transmitted pain to my brain neurons. =X

Next we returned to the entrance of TPM and waited for the rest which we left just now to regroup with us again. And next, we said bye to TPM and developed a formation of cars at the entrance:

That's how big a gang of 33 was. We headed to Klang then in search of Bak Kut Teh, which was an utter failure as the best BKT restaurants in Klang operate at morning hours. Still, we were able to find a Bak Kut Teh restaurant. But yea, it's never really special about it...

...except for this photo. Haha. It's already late evening after the meal and we got into the journey home with such a huge rain. Never like to drive in such circumstances. =(

A fun day after all! I will definitely go for that again next time with increased difficulty! =)

P.S.: FYI, there's three different levels of difficulty there.

Well Well Well...

Well, well, well... Finally my final exam has finished!

Well, well, well... Finally some break!

Well, well, well... Finally the most boring semester in my life ends!

Well, well, well... Finally I will be able to spare some time to update posts about Skytrex!

Well, well, well... Finally I will be able to share some great tunes with you all!

Well, well, well... Finally I will end this post!

=P

P.S.: Just some brief outline for you about what I am going to post in the next few days. Stay tuned! =D

Happy Nuffnang-ing

After a period where my Nuffnang cash growed as slow as a turtle, I am very happy today when I checked my Nuffnang account recently. RM1 CPC (cost-per-click) earnings last week and RM8 CPI (cost-per-impression) earnings accumulated already!

I am very happy with my fantasy blog as it is really gaining money for me, although not much. I think I can cash out for the very first time on next March. Let's hope so. =)

And please click on my ads every time you visit my blog. Thanks. $.$

New Layout

Just changed the theme to a quite fairytale one. Hope you guys like it. Enjoy~

eTiQa

What an experience.

For your information, I've actually became an agent of eTiQa takaful. Basically, it's a long term saving plan which gives you high interest (estimated 5.5%-8%) and death/permanent disability benefit. If you're interested, please contact me. =)

Several weeks ago, I had worked at a eTiQa counter just outside of the cashier counter at Giant. As I am inexperienced, this booth which only required RM100++ of rental is a very good place for me to learn. Well, Giant Bandar Kinrara is quite a weird Giant due to its high degree of translucence architecture.

For your information, Wei Kian worked with me as he was tricked by our upline just like me. LOL. I was quite surprised actually to see Warren working inside at Giant. Due to our freedom in working, whenever Warren was break we accompanied him to eat. =)

One controversial thing was risen from my two days of work. I actually managed to draw the attention of a customer but due to my amateurism, she actually felt confused with my presentation and hence wanted the others to explain. She left and back, and my experienced colleague (or maybe not) had successfully secured five units from her! In normal circumstances, the units should belonged to me, but due to the customer's dislike towards me plus come other unfavourable factors, those five units were awarded to her (the one who presented). Of course she deserved it due to her professionalism in selling, but I just don't feel good with it. Can't she just give me some consolation like paying my counter fees? If I wasn't there, she wouldn't come back and listen... Thousands of ringgits gone zzz...

The two days work session ended unitless as what I expected. But the money paid came with such a great lesson that I felt worth it. Techniques of sales + 宫心计 + Never work without your upline. An unforgettable experience.

Contact me for more details!
