I know if I said it's been a long time since my last post will be kind of old school as I always said that whenever there's a big gap between the previous post. Haha. Oh guys, I've passed my paper 2, exam FM, financial Mathematics!!!! Congratulation to myself!!!!!

This spring semester, kind of different from all previous semesters because, THIS IS MY 3RD SEMESTER HERE!!!! Haha, I know it's not funny. Actually, I'm graduating by the end of this year. It's kind of hard to describe how I feel exactly. For more precisely, it's complicated. I'm glad that I will be graduating as I'm getting older now. By the June of this year, I'll be 23 year old and I'm still in school. As I'm graduating, there will be no more immature behaving. My sister's future will be some sort of on my shoulder once I graduated. So, the most important thing for me to do right after I graduate will be, get a full time job, in US. I'm really worried about getting a job after graduate because, til now, I only have one exam passed, zero actuarial field working experience, point zero one level of interview experience. The good thing is, I have a good resume being modified by somebody. Thank you so much SC.

On the this coming week, I'll be having interviews for summer internship. This will be chance to get decent working experience which may proceed to full time after school. Til now, I'm still lost about how to present in order to outstand from whom I'm competing with. Some of them have two paper passed, more working experience, some have even worked for insurance company. I have friends who are really willing to help me. I should really know how to appreciate their assistances. Moreover, after next week, I have two weeks left to prepare for my coming professional exam. 2nd attempt on the first exam. It's all about probability.

I might be too exaggerated, I think this coming week will decide how my opportunity in US going to be. Anyway, I have a history paper due on Tuesday. Gotta get going now. Wish me luck on my interviews.

This February is too short for me....... Here's some of the pictures I have taken in Malaysia.

Such a looooooooong time since my previous blog. Everytime I logged in to my account, starring at the screen for couple of minutes, my procrastinating virus attacked my brain again. I've tried so hard to create a new post but it seems so hard for me to complete one. Whenever I start, I'll be running out of material to write about and in the end, the new post window will be closed and you'll see nothing new in my blog. hahaha.

My life here have changed a little bit here. Finals coming, the day I'm leaving the states heading home for vacation has been pulled ahead which falls on this 22nd of December, the places I've been to in US has increased from 4 to 5(which are Chicago, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Wisconsin Dells, and the latest will be St Louis) and my status has changed to in a relationship after being single for almost 2 years. Hehe. Alright, I'll just stop writing and post some pictures here. Hope I'll kick ass in every finals of the classes I'm taking!!!!!!

After reading someone's blog, I have the mutual feeling. When we blog, we wrote something about our life. But the trend is, we usually blog about something nice for people to read, something appropriate for people to know. People don't blog something that's really happening. Frankly, the "people" I'm using, included me.

My 2nd attempt of FM, Financial Mathematic become past tense by actual time 11 am but 10.30 am actuarial society time on 8th of November 2006. I knew it's over now, but I kind of anxious about knowing whether I pass or fail. It's not the problem of how many attempts I've tried. It's because, this is our last chance to pass the old format. Starting on next year, they've decided to add more material in it. The material that I don't really understand. Derivative market. Well, I think it's actually the matter of time. I'll master it one day. Haha.

After FM, I actually planned to go crazy but...... since I'm having mgmt120 exam on Friday, I can't really lose control. So, might just have some fun and that's it. Moreover, 2 exams on next week and 1 on the following. It's not the right timing yet.

I'm in Chicago again, for the 4th time already. Should be pretty familiar with the directions here but, once I got out of the Greyhound station, I lost my direction again. Darn it!!! According to the schedule, I should have left Des Moines by 8.30 am and reach Iowa City around 10.30 am. It didn't come out that way because something under the bus broke and the driver had to use duct tape to seal it temporarily. In the end, I was nearly two hours late from the actual schedule. Supposingly to have reach Chicago by 4.20 pm and ended up 7 pm to get my butt off the bus. Called my brother and he said he'll meet me at the Roosevelt station. I was expecting a hug from my lovely brother and I got nothing. Haha.

It's kind of sad for me to end up traveling with Greyhound. Want to know why? I thought I would be coming to Chicago by my newly met friends' car. On the 13th night, I called one of them and they told me that they had cancelled the plan to Chicago due to the freezing weather going to be in Chicago. (Actually it wasn't that bad here, at least it's warmer than Des Moines.) Frankly, I kind of pissed as they should have told me by the time they cancelled. I had to book my ticket at the last minute. Whatever...... at least I'll get the chance to study my FM exam, erm..... for the 2nd time. I failed on the 1st attempt and hopefully, I can pass it for 2nd attempt as they're adding syllabus next year. That suck!!!! Wish me luck, pal!!!
