| It's been such a long time I've abandoned this blog, well, almost a year that is.
A lot of changes happened during this period, a lot of changes which I couldn't really accept. Well, I guess it's my ego that I do not want to accept the changes at all.
Next Monday will be my first paper and quite frankly, I do not want to screw it up. I don't know what has happened to me because I failed this test 2 and yet, I'm not even sad at all. Well, maybe just for the two hours, but still! Is it something good that I changed so drastically just over a year? I don't care about my studies anymore, and I've lost all the usual friends I have in school, is this kharma for my ego? For treating people unevenly? Heck, I don't even know that I don't treat people evenly until someone told me so. I've regretted, as usual, for my behavior, now I'm all alone, feeling pathetic, and people still call me a class rep while my class does not even listen to me anymore, I'm just an agent distributing notes to them. Maybe she's right, I'm tired already.
Recently knew some of my friends got internships in a few big companies in Malaysia, congratulations to them. I guess I have no hope huh? I'm still doubting whether should I continue this path or not. As in, to be an actuary or not? I've developed so many sickness, so many bad behaviors just studying in this course. Dilemma. Sometimes, I wish everything would be like before, sometimes...

| I cannot stand this any longer, I'm about to go hey wire if I don't rest for good. All the reading books and constant assignments, tests, pressure from the class, I'm about to burst real soon. Maybe sooner than I thought.

| Alvin and I are very sick of preparing our SOA exams!
First of all, let me tell you what is SOA exams. Like ACCA exams, SOA (Society of Actuaries) exams is our professional papers. It consists of 7 papers in total, and once you pass every paper, you will officially be entitled for fellowship by SOA. If you have passed the first 5 papers, you will be an associate. Why do we need to take these papers? It's very simple, to increase our "value" in the market of course. I mean, why do you think accountants are taking ACCA exams in the first place? Actuarial Science is a very challenging course, like what I've said in previous posts. If you really want to be an actuary, getting a degree is not enough actually. Insurance companies in Malaysia are mainly targetting only first class honors Actuarial Science students, better still, students who pass some professional papers. Why do they only target first class honors Actuarial Science students? It's simply because the supply is higher than the demand, in simple English, too many actuaries but too little places for them. Besides that, aim to get a job in overseas, not Malaysia. Malaysia Insurance companies just simply have too insufficient places for too many Actuaries, at least for now. I'm not sure about what the future holds, who does right? But at least from what we see, Malaysia's market for Actuaries will be the same for at least 5 more years.
Some people say that they don't want to be an actuary after graduation, they study this course just to learn about the financial aspect that is taught in this course. For goodness sake! If you want to learn about financial, go study finance la aduh! I know la, you sure want to tell me it is not necessary to work as an Actuary in the future even though you study this course de ma. But this case is different you see, when you know specifically what you want to study, go study the subject that will focus more on it la, aduh!
I have passed my first paper, Exam P/1 four weeks ago during my last semester break. One week later, my short semester has started and it doesn't seem to be delighted because the subjects are so crazy. I will be taking my second paper, Exam Financial Mathematics on November 5. So basically, I have only approximately 9 more days to prepare my exam. I haven't had a good rest since last semester and I am so freaking tired now! Luckily I have learnt most of the stuff in Exam FM in Theory of Interest subject that was taught last semester and now I'm very frustrated with the tonnes of exercises and also some minor parts in Derivatives Market. And I'm still not even 50% prepared yet! Urghhh! Put this aside, I still have UTAR's stuff to worry about. Business Law, Statistical Simulation and MORAL are killing me! The first test is going to commence in two weeks time and that is exactly the same time I'm taking my Exam FM. This is very sickening...
On the other hand, Alvin is very stressed and tired as well. He's going to take Exam MFE (Modelling for Financial Economics) and C (donno what lai de, yet) around the same time as I take my Exam FM. He has passed the first, second and third paper. If he gao dim this two papers, he will be an associate. Damn! You are my idol man! He has been preparing for these two papers for almost half a year (one year for MFE =P) already. And because of the exam is coming near, he is basically like us, want to pia to the end. Besides, He has other things to take care, for instance, the coming UTAR IDOL 2009, which is an inter-faculty competition. He is the organizing chairman and because of this, he has grown much grey hair, ei? XD
But one thing about him is, he is giving less attention to UTAR's exam for now. Because according to him, UTAR's exam doesn't have the same weight as SOA papers.
I haven't been sleeping enough for two semester, counthing this one. I miss playing badminton, Wing Yew's back and soon, others will too. I can't wait to rest after Exam FM.
Of course, I hope to pass it.

This should be the official poster for the UTAR IDOL 2009 (I hope >_<). Alvin sent me the poster that he worked on for hours yesterday and asked me to help him to edit it. So I did it. I'm very happy and nonetheless, satisfied with my work. It gives out a really funky feel and I really love it. Hopefully, I can still think of something in the future to make the poster much more glossy and grand before they actually start to print the posters out.
The things I have changed:
a) I used a new set of fonts (the title and the extra information) found in the internet to give the poster a really strong feel.
b) I resized the poster. It was not originally an A4 size, much more like an A3 flipped horizontal.
c) I reallocated some of the objects in the original poster until I've made a final decision, i.e. the poster above.
d) I sharpened some of the objects in the poster to make them look more solid in the image.
e) I added some text in it.
Credits go to Alvin as well because basically, all the objects in the poster was found by him.

| I know, I know. I haven't been updating for at least a month. The reason was, I was busy and too happy to blog anything about my stuff, end of story. As I was (still) cleaning up my room just now, I found a secondary exercise book with my drawings inside which I drew it just right after I had my SPM. Here's the picture of one of the drawings that I snapped: 
Yes, I can see that the head is relatively smaller than the body. Give me a break, I was just 17. XD To think about it, everything has changed deliberately since I got into UTAR. I've never drawn since then, my life was driven by the hectic timetable scheduled by UTAR etc. bullshit crap that I could think of. What am I doing now? I'm pratically having my so called "holiday" and will start my classes again next Monday. Sad huh? While most of the UTARians are having three months break, I still have to attend my classes. A lot of things (as usual) happened in the past month(s). The only few things that I could still remember was passing my first professional paper, exam P and got a double kill with my UTAR exam. All my hard work paid off and I want to thank Alvin again for helping me and giving me all the reverse psychology support, hahaha! I will be having my second professional paper, exam Financial Mathematics on November 5 this year, which is approximately about 25 more days to go. I haven't studied a single thing yet and I'm very panic yet lazy right now. Ironic huh? It was as if the God is telling me to stop playing dota because whenever I try to play it, my computer would hang or colorful boxes and squares would appear on my computer screen. Somehow, it is a good thing because I'm addicted to it already. Oh ya, the other things that I still remember was hanging out with Jun-Jun Riko and Chee Phin AND celebrating Michelle's birthday. I had chili's with Jun and Chee Phin and watched the "Flight of the Living Dead" which personally was a bit pointless to me. Here's a picture of us:
