Methodolgies and Empiricals

Trying to familiarise myself with all the methodologies and empirical evidences in VSA
but disappointing to say that they do not seems to imprint in my mind
frankly, i do not know how much i have done for this subject
two more days for me to buttress all i need to know
hopefully the paper will not be a surprise to us
although surprises can be pleasant, but not at this instance
- and you know what? E.Beccalli and Pascal Frantz, i love you guys
(please be kind) :)

Finale

Many of my friends has begin their long holiday or having their last paper
While I still have 13 days more to go
Not to be particular pessimistic about it
But rather, I will definitely cherish this moment
Undoubtedly, my last moment before I truly bid farewell to my university life.
:)

A Beautiful Day – India Arie

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la (x3)
It’s a Beautiful Day (x3)
Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove
Remind yourself that there’s only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la (x3)
It’s a Beautiful Day (x2)
Let’s make this a wonderful
Let’s make this a powerful
Let’s make this a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Half Time

Although I have two more papers to go, namely VSA and QF
I still wanna emphasize my feeling during this moment
-so glad that the FI paper is in fact, OVER!
you do not know how I hated for this subject and its heart warming to know that I can ditch it away forever in my life time.
It just feels like prison-break kind of freedom, literally happier than having sex really.
Ha ha! Still, have to work doubly hard now for the next papers,
hope that everything will turn out fine too!
Happy for Grace that she is now officially free from examination!

-meanwhile, aza aza! :)
till 08 June 2010 – the day that I have always look forward to.

Financial Intermediation

Yes, as the title suggests, Financial Intermediation is the paper that took a toll out of my life
After a jolly well paper for IM, I was so unlucky that I fell sick for a few days cutting short my time for my FI revision.
FI, really a tough paper to handle…
With so many theories to take note of, I am really playing a very risky game on this particular paper.
Hence, no more that distinction dream for this paper, as what one of my friend said:”FI is making my stress level growing exponentially, I feel like tearing my FI notes into 10000 pieces.”
Yes, same feeling! It’s making dozing off once I start reading them!
And on the same note, I am feeling freaking sad and depressed these few days. Thinking of examination still having 20 pathetic days to the end really disgust me. Sigh!

Well, tomoro is my second paper. Just do whatever shit I can. Really. FI, I don give it a damn. :(

Time to come

I need alot of motivation and encouragement to press on
-especially during this period.

Million Dollar Girl

This song is a little bit unusual for me to appreciate

Five more days.

I just couldnt believe that tomorrow is the commencement of UOL examination 2010.
lucky to say, my first paper is still five days away. Not too long though, but at least there are still some days for me to breathe. if my paper is going to start tomorrow, i can jump, really.

Awww, anyway, the status updates in facebook and twitter kept mentioning people going for Ip Man 2 and Iron Man 2, while i am stucked somewhere studying for my Investment Management (IM) paper. How sad. :(

these few days was fulfillingly spent, i supposed:

-went back for MSL 10th Anniversary Dinner
you see, time flies. msl is already 10 years old, and being the second batch of the school, and graduated from there for about six years already and today, looking at where i am and the past of me, reminisce.
having able to meet up people who i dint meet for the past six years, having being able to see friends coming back, having able to see those who we fought together for success, and having being able to see the companions that we had spent time together
- really, the feeling is very special.
and one person that i have to thank in person is Mrs Choy Chee Meh, our first and ex-principal of MSL. Thank you so much, and having seeing her doing so well, i do feel hearted. :)
Marsilings, Make Your Mark!

and of course not to forget the club session at supperclub. its a nice club anyway.
i think i can remember everything so well that i dont need to pen it down here. ha ha! :)
but then, thanks Junda for his gracious invitation.

-had our mugging session at Vivo coffee bean during the first day of May.
and had Ding Tai Fung for dinner, how great will it be if we can spend everyday like that
thats why i told grace that i did regret a little for not being hardworking during last year
and now ended up struggling for the upcoming exams.
ha ha! but struggling do makes us proud of ourselves, provided that everything turns out fine.

flu is seriously killing me. this is the second time like after one week?
actually i deserve such, because i got nothing better to do by going to changi airport to study overnight – this is such a virgin attempt
but apparently, i cannot withstand with it because i am a person who need to sleep!
despite all these post sufferings, i have to admit that its a great experience
the ambience and environment is totally perfect for exams preparation really, except its too cold.
and of course, went with the craziest woman on earth, grace! ha ha! i couldnt really remember what we talked or laughed about, but we were just laughing throughout with nonsensical topics.

sometimes, i do feel i am in such a dilemma.
i do not know how well will i perform, i don appear to be over-confident
- but there doesnt exist any particular stress level that i should have for every exams.
ha ha. yeah, such an irony, we do not like stress, but stress that theres no stress.
well, life is always a journey of contradictions.

so far, everything looks fine to me, except for the pathetic flu which i do not know how long will it need to go away
meanwhile, i should really maximise this remaining five days before my commencement of the annual UOL Examination.

what to do other than to ha ha?
hmmm, just do our best and live with no regret.
Good luck, people! :)

As I find my way to smile

Oh well, i should seriously make myself to sit down infront of the blog to update a little on my recents, before i head back to my IM theories (ridiculous relations between Sharpe and Treynor). i really wish, so much that to give up on my notes and do whatever i want, but reality is rather cruel.

anyway, i am so tired right now after whole day of mugging. i rather tired because of shopping, chatting, jogging, swimming or playing than tired because of studying. i hate my life now seriously.

every moment when i first open up my eyes in the morning, i am pretty well aware that i should hit for the library and mug off all the agendas. aww, how bad. :(
- worst still, i have to do by all means, to make myself motivated by trying to remind myself about the goals, what will happen after the exams, first class honours etc etc.
- and i think i am mad pertaining to this.

on the same note, job hunting! i think i will feel more depressed if i continue to apply and sending in resumes. – which mostly ended up with no reply. is my resume that bad? or probably due the lacklustre condition in the job market? hmmm, who actually knows please keep me posted.
- i think i should focus on my first class honours goal instead of worrying on getting a job.

went for POSB, DBS interview on the position for Personal Financial Manager
- its a sales job, well, it keeps me pondering…hmmm.

was rather happy that i got invited to Wearnes (WBL Corporation Limited), a Singapore based MNC, assessment centre. Supposingly to be a networking cum selection process.
- the event itself provided me a great insight and exposure to the company and the job scope as a management trainee.
- i am “so-wanna” get into that programme provided by the company. seriously, its so attractive. but ultimately, what will be, will be. i always tell myself not to expect too much, (cos simply just too competitive, not to mention that i lack self-confidence, but rather its good to face the reality as well). In the end, is not to make myself disappointed over rejection. 
- still, although its my first time in an assessment centre (i mean real one), i think it will be one of the best, as i have enjoyed myself, same goes to my fellow school mates, presumbly.

other than that, recently my aunt came down from pj to visit us again. and she came down together with my mum as they wanted to visit the recently opened resorts world sentosa. actually its a visit to the casino. Ha ha! frankly speaking, its my second time there, inside the casino, and gambling! sounded so guilty but anyway, its just for the sake of fun. no big bets of course. :)
- its a great sight-seeing and yeah, time for me to stay away from all those boring notes.
rsw

and of course the days out with that kuku grace, with mok, studying at Vivo coffee bean, and cam whoring moments. 

cf

i cannot really remember everything but then, those were fast passing weeks.
-sigh, i just cannot believe that examination is nearing in like less than twenty day!
- twenty please, i hope its twenty years, or at least twenty months to exams, doesnt it sounds so much better.
- but i just hope that it will end faster, twenty minutes? how irony.

financial markets is something that i will always look forward to these few weeks
with the earnings season, stock markets are supposingly to perform
and ah, how enlighted to know Citi has made a net income of usd 4.4 billion and generating a 0.15 eps in the first quarter.
-great for the bank, investors and economy.
-ceo vikram pandit really did a great job especially in slimming down the bank’s operations and being more strategically focus on what is ahead, i supposed its truly once again, a global banking giant in years to come.

oh yes, wanna pen down an additional point with this post.
i seriously do question about the relative importance between friendship and relationship. how they correlate?
i actually once heard a friend saying, friendship and relationship at the same time cannot co-exist. and yes, its really true to a certain extent.
why must we go and question about “like it or not” when its about friendship. that really makes a funny relations, exactly depicting a “sets” diagram that we all learnt in additional mathematics.
- whereby relationship is a subset of the friendship set, or whichever ways that sound more logical.
really, no need. but of course, there are still many complications involved unless we really clear it. and yeap, at least we made things clear. :)
-and oh ya, don question about it, just some random thoughts running in my mind.

how? one day bright and the other being depress. if this is going to persist, i am certain that i can reach nowhere.
- thats why i tweeted “I seriously have no time to feel depress”.
and thats why i have to find reasons to keep me going, how pathetic.
i have to emphasise how much i hate the life now, once again.
i felt so breathless at some point of time…feeling like, giving up and stuffs, which i will not and must not.

this particular sentence somehow plays an important part to my life:
- you may not be at the best. But you can be the best at where you are!”
i really like this saying, especially its from me. ;) ha ha!
yes really, you may not be at the best place, best environment, or even the best institution, but you can still strive your best out of where you are.

so what can i do after all these rantings?
- Success is no other than to believe
so, believe “lor”. ha ha!
and to find that way to smile. :) 

ps: my baby photo is so cute, and of course not to forget how much i have aged.

The typical libra with some unique traits. Sometimes I do feel that I am probably too indulge in seeking perfection. The contentment in every single task that I am involve in seems limitless. Needless to mention though, the inability to generate swift and firm decisions has made the perfection less perfect of myself. My mind is an active organ, which makes me ponder alot. Only when I know life isnt that perfect, and when theres only typos-then we paint a life-graphy. Me, do not, cant ever, even understand myself, though. One thing is certain, what the future holds, is inevitably a mystery -sw
