Impending Christmas! =)

Hello people, I'm back! Sorry for a week of hiatus cause I just didn't feel like writing anything. Oh hey! It's Christmas, in less than 7 days! =) Firstly before that, I've mixed feelings within me, came to know lots of news happening around the world. Kim Jong-Il is dead. I don't know what to feel, whether to be happy or sad. Everyone around the world was celebrating, cheering happily; but back to the country where the nation has lost her Great Leader, everyone was weeping hysterically. Check this out if you haven't.


North Koreans appeared to be sad, whether for demonstration purposes to foreigners or fear of being killed by the ruling authorities should they didn't appear that way. Personally I was extremely disturbed after watching this video. I understand they are living under the ruling of the purest communist country in the world. None of them could escape from the terrorising family of Kim Il Sung (the creator of North Korea), otherwise might face the risk of being shot to death. There were stories told that some of their citizens have their families living in South Korea and they never got to meet them again. 

Those are typical stories. Some even tried to escape from the border of North Korea, trying to slip through into South Korea's territory for the sake of freedom. Freedom, that's what most of the North Koreans are dreaming for. The death of Kim Jung-Il does not mark the fall of North Korea, but just a change of the Great Leaders, exactly what happened in 1994 when Kim Il Sung died. Kim Jung-Un will take over and direct another new chapter of North Koreans' life. What will happen? Just wait and see. Hope that Kim Jung-Un would be nice and North Koreans' life shall improve. This has definitely taught us something, something worth while for us to reflect to. Be grateful of what you have, people! You have freedom, that's what North Koreans are dying to enjoy it. (although not to abuse that freedom) 

Anyway, it's Christmas soon!!! So these few days I indulged myself in Christmas songs. Having volunteered myself in Christmas carolling in college last Saturday in conjunction of Open Day, I knew more Christmas songs and started to sing along! =p Here are a few that you will definitely enjoy! =)

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...
