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! =)

Penning Down Thoughts

I never had the habit of journaling, and it was never my thing. You see, I had a hard time polishing my language skills. Having grown up and educated in a Chinese primary school and surrounded by Chinese-speaking community at least two third of my life, I had the tendency to speak and think in Chinese. English was out of my realm of mastery. Mandarin Chinese is my mother tongue after all. Ironically I have been widely misunderstood as being a 'banana' - a Chinese who only speaks English.  It seems I do have a 'banana' look. I have been told that I speak and write English better than my Chinese sentences, which the latter often seems to be awkward and to some extent, trying too hard. Can't really blame me right? I have not been consistently writing Chinese for the past 10 years. But this is blatantly deceiving! My English proficiency has not always been acceptable. Reading back my blog posts even just 5 years ago brought myself to embarrassment. In short, I d

What Owning a Turbocharged Car has Taught me

If there is a single word that can sum up what owning a turbocharged car for the past one and a half year has taught me, it will be this — humility . I have quite a number of people telling me my car is cool, fast and what not. But instead of getting all boasted up, I can't help but to be humble at my slow car. Slow car? You wondered. For a hot hatch making well above 234 horses on the wheel with 270Nm torque, this Neo turbo boosting 1-bar (14.5 psi) is producing more than double a stock Neo CPS is making. This is certainly not a slow car by any conventional family car standard. But with this comes a hefty price, in terms of time and money. The maintenance cost is not cheap, as it is the case with any other turbocharged car. Turbocharged vehicles are more prone to component failures just simply by the fact that there are a lot more things that can fail within the complex system, as compared to a much simpler naturally aspirated mode.  I have educated myself with how a

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
