Passed SOA P/1 Exam!!

Yay! I finally passed my first ever SOA (Society of Actuaries) professional paper!! Of course, it is not one grand achievement... it's just the first of a series of paper which we (actuaries wannabes) need to sit for in order to achieve our professional actuary status.... nothing to shout about really...

I'm not trying to brag about myself here but then just some experience... (you can visit as08.freeforums.org to see how the previous batch of candidates fare...) from yours truly...

Just know your prob 1 and 2 well (as well as the last few chapters in the P manual, even though for myself there's no question from Chapter 9 and 10 of that manual) and try to have your mind clear before the exam, relax yourself, don't get panic... then you should be ok. Of course, you need to have ample preparation before the exam, and a bit of luck will help too (I heard my friends got some tough questions....)

I burnt midnight oil for the exam so I'm not the one you look for for any studying advice...=p

Anyway if you are planning to take the exam in future, good luck and all the best!

New Semester

I have finished my Business Law assignment... phew! Now suddenly have an urge to update my blog after such a long time... hopefully it will be interesting=)

Yeap, new semester it is right now. In fact it has been 4 weeks into the new semester. Man it is so hectic. Probably it is because I am taking at the same time the SOA P/1 exam in a few weeks time =0 and I am not really prepared at all at this time!!

Been spending quite a lot of time in my room at my apartment at Setapak... Daily itenery would be waking up, go to lectures/tutorials... come back, eat, drink, study, sleep.... wait! Have been hooked on this Hong Kong Cantonese drama "Born Rich" (fu gui men)... 45 minutes in front of the monitor (without break!) I didn't want this to be the case (ngo hm siong der)... but looks like I am really hooked... 41 episodes leh!!My results took a nose dive last semester. Have been changing the way I do things.. hopefully things change for the better=)
