Second Semester in Taylor's!!! (Part 1)

Praise the Lord that He has given us the opportunity to enjoy another year full with new yet interesting challenges, which I believe would be blessed so abundantly with tonnes of blessings and miracles which are yet to be showered and revealed upon us. 
Apparently this is my first post in the year 2011, and it’s been a month since my last update! Feeling excited on this new year, as I received my first batch of juniors last week, implying that I’m still playing a part in the ageing process. For the first time I feel so old but the good news is, I’d be joining their class in my forth semester which is next year! I’m not going to take A2 exam with my dearest classmates but rather, a semester slower so that I will have adequate time to prepare for the final exam and aced it with greater confidence. 
I’ve started my A2 syllabus for all subjects that I’m taking, and logically the difficulty level is getting higher. It’s not something like AS level of difficulty anymore but rather, a more sophisticated and complex knowledge that could easily subdue almost every student showing average level of intelligence, including me obviously. But I hold strong to my principles that nothing is unattainable by endorsing virtues of passion, persistence and perseverance, making me a different person altogether. 
I’m learning second chapter of Economics A2 (Production), and it’s quite confusing somehow with all sorts of curves combined together forming graphs, as well as the topics on the economies of scale(EOS). There are so many types of EOS and I’m supposed to know all these. Definitely need to put more efforts on it. For Maths, I’ve sat for my first test involving five chapters (Modulus Function, Partial Fraction, Polynomials, Exponential & Trigonometric) and I attained 31/32. Praise the Lord! Now I’ve finished Differentiation and studying Integration now. Heart that there are three more chapters to go before ending Math A2 syllabus (Paper 3), which are complex number, vector and another unknown topic. That’s extraordinary fast! =D 
As for FM 1, I’m learning Linear Spaces now, and slowly approaching the legendary vector space that my seniors had been talking about. Well it’s quite hard to understand everything, but I think I should be doing just fine if I study hard. Whereas for FM 2, I’ve finished the first topics of Statistics, which is probability density function and continuous density function. Today teacher taught us Sampling and Estimation, and I was so excited as I like Statistics. We will only learn random sampling in the syllabus, but in real life practice, there are a lot more types of samplings, which I should know since I’m going to pursue a course full of statistical methods. Looking forwards for FM2 class! =)

    I prefer City more rather than LSE. Reason is simple, cause I want to qualify faster as an actuary. If you prefer branding more rather than quality, choose LSE! =)

2 Weeks Experiences in The New Class! =)

Listening to: The more I seek You - Kari Jobe It's been two weeks since I joined the new class! Most, if not all, of my new classmates are quite friendly to me, gratefully! Thank God for that! Within the first few days I've recognised and remembered most of my classmates' names! =p Okay to be frank, I was trying to memorise. That's why I could remember their names fast, and blend into their group easily? =) How? Facebook does the trick! Adding someone into your friend list in Facebook will definitely improve your ability to remember names. Well it works for me, at least! =p Okay why am I keep writing posts about PE1? I don't know, just want to share my thoughts with everyone, how I spend my time in the new class and so on. During break time I tend to hang out with a group of new friends, and a large portion of them were from Catholic High School, PJ. Haha I was supposed to go there, but I didn't. My younger sister did, anyway. Most of them tend ...

Advices and information from Senior Recommer, Smilehoe! ^_^

Here is the reply of Smilehoe, a senior Recommer to me due to my dilemma at my previous post, and I think it is worthwhile for me to post it up here to be shared with everyone due to its great and effective information to me. He's an actuarial student in UM(University of Malaya) and here it goes:  Hi Nicholasng925, First of all, I think that the effort you put in considering and researching on actuarial science is impressive. I didn't know as much as you do while I was at your place. I'm not an engineering student so my advice would be lopsided, do take it at face value and make your own judgement.   We will talk about a few scenarios, Case 1,  No A-levels, I think alternatives are pretty limited. Form 6, A-levels or other Pre-U courses at more affordable institutions. You can again aim towards Act.Sc. while doing those courses. Case 2, A-levels or other Pre-U, but no scholarship for overseas degree As you have mentioned, NTU and NUS are good alternative...

Kiss Good Bye to Thomas Cup 2010! =(

Well, I believe that everyone is aware of the Thomas Cup for this whole week and the news that all the Malaysian teams have completely lost to China's. I watched the match between Lin Dan and Chong Wei, and unexpectedly they seemed like warming up in the beginning. However, Lin Dan seemed to warm up faster as compared to Chong Wei and eventually lead Chong Wei by double the scores of Chong Wei at the first half. Amazingly, when Lin Dan reached the score of 18, Chong Wei suddenly counter attacked against Lin Dan and able to score until 17 when Lin Dan beat him at the first match. Well, I think he thought that he would be able to fight back at the second match, which most of us are hoping about, but eventually he didn't!!! He started to be tension when Lin Dan surpassed him by at least 5 marks, and this condition remained throughout the whole match! At last, as expected, Chong Wei was beaten by Lin Dan with the result of second match 21-9.  Gosh! How could Chong Wei be so relax i...
