Long Awaited Post

Hello all..
Haven't been blogging lately due to being busy & lazy at the same time.

Anyway, I feel that I should make this post. To update my friends and let them know what is going on.

First things first, I'm sorry to Limin that it didn't work out in the end. Yes, we broke up...
It definitely was not her fault, but I didn't think it was mine either. I guess the reason to give was we were not suitable for each other.
She was a nice gf to me and I appreciated that.
However, I needed her to love me in a way which just was not her way of loving. We tried, but I felt like giving up more than working harder in the end..

Ok, sad stuff over.. now comes the happy part..

I met this new girl. :)
Its a bit quick, but I guess when it comes, it comes ;)
Don't ask me to compare who is better, cos I would be a jerk to compare, so NO!
And in case you are wondering, no, she is definitely not a substitute, and I didn't leave Limin for her.
I get those questions alot. -_-

We just started, and I have to admit that I'm having a ball of a time.
The last weekend we spent it nearly 24/7.
I won't go into details so soon... Just be patient and wait for my updates k?

Bye children and be nice :)

Anyone remember this photo?
Was looking through my previous photos and I thought that I reupload this.
:)

Something funny

Super sad

I know I have not updated my blog for a long time.

I got my UOL results. I am super devastated.

Only need 2 60s to get 2nd upper but I only got 1.
The rest were 50+.

2nd lower lor.
I really doom and gloom now.
*emo*

Newcastle: Part 2

In my first Newcastle game, I used this database called Wally. I found out later that he had updated certain player stats, especially of his favourite team. This caused massive unbalance to the FM transfers world, so I made a restart. This time, I used the database similar to what Marvin used, which was called FM Weegie.

Newcastle

After being inspired by fellow manager Marvin Yip, I went to start a new game in FM with Newcastle.

I have never been a fan of Newcastle because they are an underachieving club. However, it seems that this is the perfect time to lead them. They have just been relegated, are in need of a new face lift and in need of some leadership. Similar to Yip, when the board was undergoing a takeover, my job was on the line. However, I am very certain I will be able to persuade them to let me keep my job.I immediately got to work offloading the bad apples of the squad. I have always disliked Joey Barton as he is a bad influence, so I didn't had any hesitation selling him immediately. Geremi and Cacapa were also not needed so off they went.
I'm looking to sell some of the old players that are on massive wages like Duff, Viduka and Alan Smith. I was quite disappointed with Alan Smith. I used to look up to him when he was at Man Utd, but he has been letting me down in recent games, shooting wide and missing good chances.

I bought some youth players to replace the older ones, with an eye for the future. In came Mark Beevers, Danny Rose and Frederico Laurito. I wanted to buy a midfield centre, but couldn't find any good ones. While I was browsing the Barcelona youth team I saw this young striker called Ruben Rochina. He was on the transfer list for only 2,000 dollars ! That is dirt cheap.

I'm quite happy with this discovery and I already have Martins tutoring him.

The job has been quite taxing on me, and I find myself very tired/lazy to meet Limin nowadays. Hope she understands. Finally, I hope that FM will take my mind off some depressing matters.
Fighting!

Short getaway!

I find that I didn't really relax to the max in Australia. Everyday had something to do and everyday we walked until our legs are so tired.

I want a holiday where its just relaxing, spa/massage, sleeping, just lazing about, eating good food and just living like a king.
The place has to be cheap, because I want to live like a king, but I'm not rich like a king.
I'm thinking of a few places, mainly Langkawi, Thailand (Bangkok and Phuket), and Bali. Any more ideas?

If I save up alot during my 6 months of internship, I would not mind going on a holiday to HK or Taiwan, or somewhere within a 2-3k budget.

Hope I get my permanent job though! Last year the intern got offered a full time job even though the economy was going to collapse, so I'm praying with all my might that I get offered too! Salary is not really important, as the potential for growth in my position is very big. The colleagues in my department all stay in Newton, Harbourfront area.

Fighting!

Pissed off!

So pissed off with Qantas!
When we went to Australia and decided to change our flights, the girl quoted us 168 SGD. However, when the bill came, it was 168 AUD!

I called Qantas today, and the lady that picked up the phone keep saying that I heard wrongly. But, I remembered asking her twice because Josh was beside me reminding me to ask. So I am definitely correct. After I told the lady that I want to speak with her superior, she said that it will not happen, and she just put down the phone on me!

PISSED TO THE MAX! I am never ever going to take Qantas, and if possible, I will spread this story to as many people as possible. Already at work, several Germans agreed to me that Qantas was the worst airline flight that they took. Got this German girl, her luggage was delayed by several hours, so when she wrote an email to Qantas requesting a letter to show the insurance company so she could make a claim, they didn't reply at all. She sent 6 different emails but nobody replied at all.

I emailed Qantas because no choice, the call centre say only they can help me. So really bo bian. I dare Qantas to retrieve the phone call if the conversation was recorded. I dare them to apologise to me for their mistake and for the lady whose manners are just atrocious.

Honestly, I really think they won't. I don't even think they will waive the exchange rate difference and charge us what they originally quoted.

So now, instead of the planned 2,800 SGD, I have spent 3000 SGD on the Australia Trip. DULAN MAN!

So boring!

Every day after work I come home and don't know what to do. I have no entertainment.
I finish bathing and eating by 8.15, so I have about 4 hours before I sleep. And I don't know what to do in those 4 hours.
I was thinking of playing WoW retail version, but I don't think I will have the commitment to play it all the way. No point playing.

Here are a few suggestions on what I can do in my leisure time.
1. Buy a TV in my room.
2. Buy a PS3.
3. Buy both :D
4. Get a hobby like sewing or [insert hobby] etc
5. Read

Anymore? I really can't think of any. Please help!

Bad news!

1st setback:
On Friday, I took a bus to the MRT station with a colleague. He strongly believe that the company will not give me a job after the 6 months. Not because I am inadequate or not good enough, but the department I work for is one that is fit for high position managers etc.

I agree that the department is filled with capable people (i.e they know 4 languages and have Masters and their excel is superb), so I felt very discouraged when I heard that. So, I told him that its ok if I'm not hired in the same department, as I would not mine being in another department. However, he have to break my heart again by saying that the headcount has frozen and they are actually cutting back.

I guess I have to believe what my boss says that if I work hard, impress and the economy improve such that the company needs to hire, they will hire me. Fighting!

2nd setback:
About a month ago, the company wanted to hire me but wanted to have some assurances that I could defer my reservice. The army on the other hand wanted to have some assurances that I would definitely be hired. As both parties needed some assurances, I found it hard to please both. Eventually, the company decided to trust me, hire me and gave me the relevant documents I would need to defer.
However, I found out that in order to be successful for deferring under "New Employment", the job has to be in the 1st 3 months!
I was hired on the 24th June and my reservice is on the 19th October, making it 3.5 months! I am now very very worried that I won't be able to defer my reservice, thus lowering my chance of being hired.

I really hope that the army can open their eyes and for once, don't be so rigid in making decisions. Hope they consider the economy and the job market before making a decision. Wish me luck. Fighting!

On a lighter note, I was intro to this show called We Got Married. Its a reality show where two people have a fake marriage and live together for a few months. Its a very funny show and I kept laughing throughout.
I am also in love with this girl call Hwang Bo. =)

She does not have the typical cute or pretty face but I find her very attractive. She is a bit tom boyish and very sporting. I love her laughter and it is very infectious. On top of that, she knows how to cook and sew! Very ideal wife!
There are so many plus points to her side that I think she is my dream girl. The kind of girl I like. Hope Limin is reading =X
Fighting!

My job

I am currently working in Allianz as an intern in the Property & Casualty Regional Department.
The Allianz branch I'm working in is more of a regional HQ rather than a company selling products. It means that in Allianz in other countries and in Singapore do their work and send the accounts, info etc to the HQ. There the data is tabulated and assessed. I'm working in the HQ.

As it is the HQ, there are many top bosses working there. I am very impressed by the top bosses. Most of them including the caucasians, know at least 4 languages. English, Chinese, Japanese and Mandarin. They are frequently not around as they are in meetings or overseas attending meetings.
Additionally, they are well-skilled in IT. Some of the excel spreadsheets they churn out are fantastic.
I'm thinking of taking a course in MS Excel to be a master too.

My duties include,
1. Monthly reports
2. Compiling of data for strategic dialogues
3. Market research for China
4. Economic research
5. Some secretary duties

These duties might seem easy at first sight, but it really is a step up from a temp job. Alot of things I have to learn myself and google to find out. The use of terms is also very foreign to me. For example, from the monthly reports, I have to write stating what cause profits to be higher or give reasons why the dip in premiums is due to the economy etc.
As I'm still very new, I can't crap on these things.

Although it has been tough to adapt so far, I really hope that they will keep giving me new things to do, as it has been quite boring for the first 2 days. I hope things will start to pick up and I will learn and able to apply it to my work.
If you study very hard, you will certainly enjoy the exam as you can answer every question. If you don't study, you will go to the exam and come out feeling like shit. Thats the analogy.
So, wish me luck and hope I will be able to pick up the pace. Already I am starting to learn the acronyms such as CAGR, PICC, GWP etc.

If you wish to chit chat, please email me at lim.yuan.wei@allianz.com.sg. I will be there =)

Holiday!

Leaving for Australia tonight @ 9.45pm!
Will be back on the 18th June.

Anyway I woke up at 9am today and received the call that I have been accepted into the internship. Its an insurance company and the salary is 1.8k.
Its not sales, but its more of an operations role. The head of department even told me that there might be a chance that I can go to Germany!
Quite excited about it :)

I told them I will be ready to start on the 21th June. So I guess when I come back from Australia, I can start to get ready. However, I asked them if I am offered a job during the internship, will I be able to accept it. The HR lady told me that she needed to talk to the head regarding this and get back to me. Think I scared her!

So what do you guys think?
Its a job that I wanted and its what I want to do, but the main drawback is its an internship that has no guarantee that I will be hired.
If you were offered this kind of job, will you accept it?

Job search

I woke up this morning because of a phone call and surprise surprise, it was UOB. They were willing to interview me for this Management Graduate Program. I scheduled it on 19th June as I will be back on the 18th June.
So exciting!

I don't really know the job scope of this Management Graduate Program yet, and I am going to be really cautious. I will be ruthless and fight for the job scope that I want. What's the point of working if you are not happy with your work?

I'm also going to call the insurance company and inform them that I will be going on holiday, so I would need a decision from them asap. I forgot to ask them in depth what my job scope will be like, and I only got a short overview of it. I will learn my lesson and bombard this UOB interviewer with 100 questions.

Anybody want anything from Australia?

I also have been watching this drama recently. Introduced by Limin.
Its F4!
Limin is crazy over the 3rd guy from left. But I think the last guy looks better. Although his yellow hair sucks.
There are lots of pretty girls in this drama too, and its definitely much better than the Taiwan version.
I like this model cos her boobs are big! A pity she only appear in a few episodes.
Next time, I'm going to come up with my own version of F4. I think this kind of story can earn big bucks.

Terminator - What is it about

After Terminator 4 came out, many people asked me what the hell is happening and how come Kyle Reese who is so young can be John Connor's father etc. I'm writing this blog post to clear up the confusion and hopefully ignite some interest in the Terminator series, which I feel are very good movies.
Ok, here goes..
Before we proceed, I want you to forget about everything you have seen or know in Terminator. Just let me start explaining from the beginning, and then I will explain in detail.
Terminator 1
- Year 2020+
Mankind are at war with the Machines, and the humans are winning. The humans are lead by, John Connor. The Machines in a desperate attempt to win, build a time machine and send a Terminator, a T-800 (Arnold) back to 1985 to kill John Connor's Mother, Sarah Connor. The humans capture the time machine and send Kyle Reese back to 1985 to protect Sarah Connor.
-Year 1985
In this year, Sarah Connor is not yet married and do not have a son yet. She forges a r/s with Kyle Reese while on the run from the Terminator and as a result, became pregnant. Kyle Reese managed to destroy the Terminator, but died from his injuries.

Terminator 2
- Year 2020+
The Machines send back a more upgrade and modified Terminator (T-1000) to 1995 to kill a 10 year old John Connor. The humans responded by capturing an old Terminator model, T-800 (Arnold), and send it back in time to protect John Connor.
- Year 1995
John Connor and his mother managed to destroy the T-1000, with the help of T-800(Arnold), and also destroyed the company that created the machines, Cyberdyne Corporation. They believed that the future is unwritten yet and they can change the future from happening.

Terminator 3
- Year 2020+
The machines again send back a more upgrade and modified Terminator (The female robot) to 2005 to kill a young John Connor. The humans responded by sending Arnold back in time to protect him.
- Year 2005
Judgement Day happened and John Connor realised that the future cannot be changed. You can only alter the events leading up to it, but there is no escaping the future.

Terminator 4
-Year 2018
Because there is no escaping the future, John Connor knows that in the end the humans will win the war. However, he have to ensure this by making sure that key events happen, such as sending Kyle Reese back in time to protect his mother. The machines also know that they will lose the war, so to prevent this, they are searching for Kyle Reese.
However, John Connor found Marcus Wright, a cyborg that is half human, half machine and begins to lose confidence in the theory that there is no escaping the future and that the humans will win the war.
However, he still sticks to the belief that he has to save Kyle Reese. As a result from his fight from the Terminator (Arnold), his face was cut. This wound can be seen in Terminator 1 and 2.

So, it again confirms the theory that the future is already set, and the humans will win the war.

Terminator Models
T-1: A machine that has wheels as legs. Very dumb and clumsy
T-600: A slow moving Terminator. Has a human endoskeleton.
T-800: A strong Terminator that is massively upgraded. The machines give him human skin, eyes etc so he will be able to blend into the crowd. He can genuinely sweat, bleed and able to impersonate voices. This is Arnold's character.
T-1000: Appear in Terminator 2. Played by Robert Patrick. This Terminator is made of liquid metal and so is able to change forms/shapeshift.
T-X: Appear in Terminator 3. The female robot. Also made out of liquid metal, but this time has weapons from the future built into her. So she can fire lasers etc.

The time-space paradox
The terminator deals with the time-space paradox.
The paradox is simply, say I build a time machine and travel to the past and kill "me in the past". As I will die in the past, I won't be able to build a time machine in the future. And if I can't build a time machine in the future, I won't be able to go back in time and kill me. So I won't die.
This is the time-space paradox.
However, the terminator suggests that major events won't change or be prevented. You can only alter the minor events leading to it.
So, if a person, say Bob, was supposed to die in year 2010, because he got in a car accident when drink driving. He managed to prevent it from happening by not drink driving on that day. But, he will still die from a car accident, for example he gets knocked down instead.

So in the Terminator series, if Kyle Reese failed to save Sarah Connor, another person would still take up the leadership in the future and win the war against the machines.
This is the theory that the Terminator offers.

Timeline
I have made a timeline to explain the events of the story clearer.

Timeline 1: Sarah Connor meets an unknown man and gives birth to John Connor. Judgement Day happens and John Connor becomes the leader of the resistance, leading the humans to victory. The machines send back the Terminator back in time to kill Sarah Connor. The humans send back Kyle Reese to save her.

As a result of this, a new timeline has been formed.
Timeline 2: Instead of Sarah Connor meeting an unknown man, she meets Kyle Reese and gives birth to John Connor. This is why in the future, John Connor is 30+ while Kyle Reese is only 18+, but yet Kyle Reese is John Connor's father.

Ok, the end. Hope it wasn't confusing for you.
I believe that the next terminator movie will show Kyle Reese being send back in time. Possibly the Terminator(in T2) too.
Can't wait for it!

Limyuanwei MTV

Thanks to Tay for making such a nice MTV.
I present the Limyuanwei song.



Enjoy!

Investment Management

I have IM (investment management) tomorrow at 10am. I feel I am ok for it, but I think I'm being abit too complacent. I keep thinking that I know everything already, but the truth is I have been revising that for so long, that everything feels old to me, but when the exam comes, I won't remember.

I also have an interview tomorrow after my exam. Its not a full time post though, its a 6 months internship. I don't know if I should take it up. I'm worried that I will lose out to someone who just go straight to full time. I'm going to go there tomorrow and ask various questions pertaining to the internship and see if it suits me, or suit a student better.

I'm hoping that the internship suits me and I take it up, as I don't have much confidence in getting a good full time job now. Every job available is related to sales, and I don't want to go into that industry.

Wish me luck :)

Dota

So long never play Dota already. Think its about 1 year!
Quite gian to play after reading Mac's blog on it. Read it here.

He is setting up some clan and the name of it is King Clan, so my nick in game has to be something King.

I was thinking of some nicks which has king inside and this is the list that I have come up with.
1. Fuc King
2. Fcu King
3. Doom King
4. Gloomy King
5. Coo King

Any other ideas?

Side Note: Today's paper FI was quite ok. I did all questions and wrote quite a bit. However, there was 1 question which I feel was not done well, and I also forgot some small parts. Hopefully, can get 60.

Bad News

Yesterday was my first paper. MSM.

This paper is supposed to be the easiest. But I screw it up.

There was a 19marks question and I thought it was super easy and did it, yaya papaya style.
But at the end, I realised I had it got it all wrong! It was a silly silly mistake.

So 19 marks poof disappeared.

I'm so sad now. Maybe I can't even get my 2nd Upper!
I just have to pray that I get the other questions correct and I won't make the same mistake in the other 3 of my papers.

Mother Lover

Remember I posted this video call "Dick in a box" by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg? They have released a new video called "Mother Lover". Its damn funny, although a bit disgusting!



Its about they forgot to buy their mothers a present, so they decided to improvise and let each other sleep with each other mother.
Its damn funny!

FM09 Top players to buy *Updated!*

Since there are alot of people from various parts of the world coming to my blog to see my FM post on my list of Top 5 players to buy in FM, i thought I will do an update on that since the latest patch is now 9.03.

As the database has now been updated, many players have their stats changed. You won't find Mascio anymore. Such a pity as he was immense for me.

As I love playing the the club I support, which is Derby in case you don't know, most of this players are suitable for a club around Derby status. All money is in pounds and every player cost less than 5 million.

In no order of importance,

1. Frazier Campbell, SC - Man Utd
This guy is on loan with Tottenham in the first season, but in the 2nd season you can pick him up for as low as 2.5million! He is young, fast and able to finish well. Although he won't become a super star, he is good enough for mid-table clubs.

2. Frederico Laurito, SC - Udinese
This Argentinian is the complete striker. He has good pace, acceleration, jumping and strength. You have to buy him in the first season at a cheap price of 1.5million, but you won't be able to use him until the 2nd season as he is on loan. In the 2nd season, he will return to his parent club (Udinese) and they will sell him at 5 million+. So, get him while he is cheap.

3. Mauro Zarate, AM/FRC - Al-Sadd
This Argentinian is quite famous already, so no need to talk much about him. He is on loan at Lazio for the first season, so you can only get him in the 2nd season. In the first patch, Lazio will always exercise the first option clause, so you can't get him. However, in patch 9.03, they won't. You have to act fast though as many clubs are interested in him. Once he goes back to Al-Sadd, bid for him for 3.5million. He is very quick and able to score spetacular goals!

4. Joe Mattock, DL - Leicester City
In my previous guide, there wasn't any defenders, so this time I will add 2. Joe Mattock is only 17 years old, so if you buy him in the first season, he can become home-grown in 3 years time. A solid leftback that you can get for only 2.5 million first season.

5. Mark Beevers, DC - Sheffield Wednesday
This defender has good marking, heading and tackling ability. The bad thing about him is his pace and his determination. Both are around 11. If you can get someone with a high Determination stat to tutor him, he can be very good. Liverpool made a bid of 20 million for him in my game! He only cost 1.5million in season 2.

Have fun playing!

Employment issues

This is a long post with no pics, so be ready.

Last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that I went for an interview for a world class job at a world class company.
They asked me if I could explain to them the debacle regarding Lehman Brothers and why did they file for bankruptcy. I knew that it was somehow linked to the sub-prime mortgage issue and they having too much toxic debts on their balance sheet that caused them to fail. But I didn't know how were these issues linked.

I woke up and went to google it and read up on it.

I have been drafting my resume recently, but no one has called me up yet. I thought about what are the jobs that I want and came up with this list.
1) Underwriting
2) Risk Analysis
3) Investment Management
I feel these 3 are top of my list. Risk Analysis and Investment Management can be in an insurance firm or a bank, no difference to me.

I also contemplate going into sales. I really don't have a good impression on sales as the probability of you being successful in sales depends on luck. Yes, determination and good sales pitch etc plays a part, but this job needs luck to meet the potential buyer. Without luck, you won't succeed no matter how hardworking you are.

However, I recently notice that HSBC was offering the Personal Banker Associate Programme. I was very pessimistic at first, as the job title sounds more like Salesman.
But, I read the job description and notice that it is more of a programme, where you start in sales and you can fast track your career to be a branch manager. I don't mind this programme as long as I won't remain in sales for the rest of my career. I can go in the programme, finish it and use the experience to apply for other jobs.
The disadvantage would definitely be you can be stereotype as a salesman, and it will be hard for you to switch career paths. I saw this first hand with one HSBC Insurance staff. She applied as a customer service officer, and now is finding it hard to switch careers.
Nevertheless, I applied for it. I figure I can use the interview as a chance to train up my interview skills. Additionally, it gives me the chance to speak with the interviewers on more information about the job scope.
It also gives me the chance for professionals to review my CV. If my CV is impressive enough, they will call me up. If not, they won't call me and I know there is something wrong about my CV.

Deep down inside me, I am hoping they do call, as if they don't, I don't think I will be able to take that kind of rejection.

Wish me luck!

I have also been dreaming on what I will do with my salary if I get hired. Here is a top ten list of things I want to do with my salary.
In no order of importance,
1. Repay my debt to my brother. He paid for my holiday and my exam fees.

2. Bring Limin's parents out for dinner. They treat me dinner on numerous occasions and I think it would be polite and nice for me to do the same.

3. Buy Limin something she deserves. I didn't have much money during my 3 years in SIM, and couldn't treat her eat or buy her fancy stuff. I know she doesn't hanker after branded goods, but I still want to do it.

4. Buy a new computer. My current computer, which I got in 2007 has broken down at least once in every year. Worst computer ever.

5. Buy for myself new clothes/bags/shoes. Again, I didn't have much money so I really need new clothes. Majority of my clothes were bought during my army and SIM Year 1 days.

6. Give my maid money to buy groceries. My maid always complain to me that my mother doesn't give her enough money to buy groceries. So she always have to make do and improvise. I'm going to change that by giving her enough money to buy me Coke.

7. Manage my own investments. My insurance is paid for by my mother. I intend to review the insurance and change it to something that I need. Additionally, I have some money in some blue chips. I intend to manage and invest in that area as well.

8. Remove my dark eyebags. This issue is a big problem. I don't mind plastic sugery as it won't alter my looks drastically, but it definitely will stop others staring at me or making panda jokes.

9. Go on a holiday with Limin. As we stay so far apart from each other, we tend to spend less time together than the average couple do. I want her all for myself for awhile. I believe it is something I deserve for still being in the r/s despite so many obstacles!

10. Save. I have a bigger plan for my investments, and in order for it to succeed, I need funds. No better way of accumulating funds than saving. So I will try to make it a point to save.

I need a job first though :(

Becoming wiser

My right lower jaw is in pain.
I went to see the doctor, as I was very scared it might be mumps, but in the end turn out to be my wisdom tooth.
I can't see a shit in the mirror, so I don't know if the doctor is bluffing me or he has eagle eyes.

I ate campbell soup today. So hungry.
Esther said I will get skinnier.

Anyway, why are so many people so scared of working in the insurance industry?
When I tell them I want to work in the insurance industry, the face immediately change.
I think the insurance industry's reputation is bad, because of the super competitive insurance agents. The methods these agents use to promote their products are very fierce and I think it has made many people have a mindset about insurance.

Please Support My Blog!

I made a small comparison between my blog and my friends' blog(tay, yip etc) and realised that readership of my blog is very low.
Maybe because I don't post very often.
Maybe because my posts are boring.
Maybe because I am not very popular.

Anyway, in order to pump up my blog's popularity, I decided to use underhand methods.
I'm going to post sexy pictures of women to attract men to my blog. Additionally, I will also post sexy pictures of men to attract women to my blog. Maybe I will post some cute photos to attract children to my blog too.

So here goes nothing!

My results

I was reading Tay's blog and he said he need a total score of 230.15 out of his last 4 subjects. I decided to write a post on this so I can keep track of my results.

After some calculations, I realised I need a massive 295 out of my last 4 subjects! This means an average of 73.5!

Fortunately, UOL give honours based on the number of modules you get that is in that class, rather than the aggregate of your results, so I don't need to get 73.5 for my last 4 modules.
The aggregate score is for people who got 4 modules and need 1 more module to get an honours. UOL will then calculate the aggregate score. If the total aggregate score is high, then they will give the honours.
Since I have 3 modules in the bag, I just need 2 more.

The reason why my aggregate is so low compared to Tay is because I had 2 modules that got 40+. Just passed by the skin of my teeth.
However, I have 3 modules that got more than 60, so to get 2nd upper, I just need 2 more. I have decided to aim a bit higher, and try to get all 4 modules more than 60.

This is my aim for this year.
MSM: >70
IM: >60
FI: >60
VSA: >60

I seriously think this is achievable and I am not going to repeat last year mistake of getting sick and being complacent.
Wish me luck.

I'm so old!

Recently, the 2 little girls asked me how old I am and she guessed I am 10 years old. LOL.

I thought about it and realised that I'm 24 years old!

In some countries, men who are 24 are already working, have a family etc.

I'm still a computer gaming nerd who lazes about at home.
Why I so slack!

Update

Haven't been updating or even checking my blog in the last month or so.

Anyway, I am getting bullied by 2 small little girls.

They keep calling me Mr Ah Bong! This is followed by massive laughter.
The eldest girl just got a new scooter and she happily carried it up for me to have a closer look.

I definitely want to have a girl next time in my family :)

My Ipod Touch Theme

Recently, I had to format my iPod due to some problems upgrading the software.

Therefore, I decided to use the opportunity to make a new theme.
After browsing through many themes, I finally decided to settle on this. It's called Buntis and I took last night to install it in my iPod.

Enjoy :)


I want to use a more original wallpaper for my iPod theme, as this wallpaper is the original creator's.
Any ideas? Post in tag board please!

Very worried

I am feeling very worried.
All the gloom and doom in the economy, and I'm so worried I cannot find a job.

The only things I can advertise myself is that I'm ready to be a slave and and I'll do anything to prove myself.

Anyway, I was speaking to Limin about the career fair, and I will honestly believe that I won't benefit from going to either the JobsDB, or the SIM career fair.
I rather spend the time going to recruit agencies and let the professionals do their job.

Also, I'm not sure why everyone thinks my results are good. I did well in Year 1, but couldn't keep it up in Year 2. Although I have a better chance of getting 2nd Upper than Ghim Hong, his overall aggregate is better than mine, and he has more As too.
As a result, I wasn't invited to the Networking Session held by SIM.

I went to called up my mother's broker the other day and asked him how I can be a financial analyst.
His first advice was to apply for small, local brokerage firms.
His second advice was to apply for the CFA examination.

I immediately went to create an account on the CFA website.
I have never believed in God or a divine being, but if there is someone out there, please help me out on this one. Its the most important step in my life.

I want to be a Boy Scout too

Just watch this video.

I guarantee you will find it amusing!

Salar de Uyuni

The mystery picture, which I posted days ago, is not in Australia.
It is in southwest Bolivia, and is known as Salar de Uyuni.

You can read the wiki about it HERE.

Look at these youtube videos. The scenery is really what I call BREATHTAKING.

Salma Hayek is a Heroine

Was trawling the Internet just wasting time when I come across this post about Salma Hayek.
She is a true heroine.

Click HERE to read the news :)
There is also a youtube video to watch.

Guess this place

As my friends are thinking of going to Australia for the graduation trip, I started thinking of interesting places I would like to travel to.
As I have the fortune of travelling to many places when I was young, there were a few places which caught my eye.
This is one of them. Can anyone guess where it is and what is the name of the place?

Katy Perry!!!

Ok, I admit I like Katy Perry!!!
I was studying and I heard this song on the radio, and now I keep listening to it, even though it is more of a girly song.



Additionally, she is very pretty.


The kind of girls I like. Got meat(her boobs are very big!), dress in bright colours and definitely very kinky and kooky.
Hope Limin don't kill me after she see this post!
I think I am becoming a girl after listening to all these girly pop songs :)

Coke Rules!

I think everybody knows much I love Coke.
Here is a short video to show how good Coke is.

New Phone

As Dabing and Ghim Hong and Angel all went to buy a new phone, I decided that it was time to get one too.
I called Starhub and asked them if there is any loyalty points/vouchers for me, since I am going to recontract.
They obliged and sent me a $50 voucher.

After browsing through all the phones available, I decided to get this.
I got the Silver Colour version. I think it looks more stylish compared to Black, although Limin and Ghim Hong disagreed.
Limin thinks Black is nicer, which I can understand as Black looks stylish too.
But Ghim Hong thinks I should buy PINK colour. It actually looks red, but the design says its pink. Anyway, after this incident, I conclude that Ghim Hong's fashion sense is quite jialat.

After my $50 discount, it cost me $48.
I went to buy a screen protector and that totals up to $54.

I went through alot of hassle to get this phone as it was out of stock at quite a number of places.
After going to Tampines Mall and Plaza Singapura, I finally found the Silver Colour at UOB Plaza.
Was close to losing my mind just because of the unavailability of stocks.

Anyway, you can find more about the phone by clicking HERE.

The thing I like about it is, it is very very slim. Only 10mm thick.
Unfortunately, a slim phone results in no front camera! So no video call or easy photo taking! :(

No choice.
As what my teacher say, "Money is not the only thing in life, it is THE thing in life."

Liars in FM

This person claims that he managed to bring Crystal Palace to EPL glory in just 3 seasons.
He posted this league table for us to see.

Click Here.

Do you notice anything fishy about it?
Hint: Calculate the points of the 1st and 2nd team :)

Can't believe that people will do such things just to boast about it.

FM

Was playing my new save game - West Ham, when this happened.
Absolutely thrilled!!!

Obama Girl!

Here is a video of this girl singing a song using computer magic.
Its quite nice.
The song is about Obama.
He definitely has alot to live up to.

Funny Commentator

I was watching this goal on youtube.
Basically its a 90th minute Bicycle kick by Julio Baptista.
But watch till the 10 second mark to hear some funny commentary.
Sounds like the commentator got raped or something.

Busy as a bee

The last week I really wanted to study for my IM test.
However, I found my timetable packed to the max. Couldn't even find time for my new FM game, manager of West Ham.

Monday: School
Tuesday: Went out with Limin
Wednesday: Went out with Army friends
Thursday: Went out with Limin
Friday: School

Although 2 of the days I spent it with Limin, it was well worth it. So fun!

Anyway, I was informed that mid February will be my mock exams. Its so damn fast!
I have got to start studying already!

Ponyo!

Strangely, this is my favourite song at the moment!



I just love it!

Happy New Year

Hello everybody!

I'm all alone this new year!!!

I'm soooooo bored. Anyway, I notice that I have spent every new year eve alone! :S

Oh well... back to Football Manager. Its spending more time with me than my gf.

On a lighter note, I was reading the newspapers and was thinking maybe I can be a teacher too. Definately not right after graduation, but maybe after working for probably 10 years in the finance industry.

I don't have to teach in JCs etc, but I can teach in polys, private universities etc. I think that is a good career alternative.
I have a conscience so I won't let the students down. Going to be just like Phil Stephenson and be damn zai in my notes.
