Panadol to the rescue! (Fingers crossed.)

I'm sick with a soar throat and a bad case of the sniffles and exams starts in 5 days. And with being sick, I'm not sure I can manage to study everything in time. Oh well... God help me! *sniff sniff*

Jo vs STAT 1031 Assignment 2

I just finished my Introduction to Actuarial Studies Excel Assignment, and let me tell you, it was so so frustrating. I think my words alone might not be able to justify the intense emotions of hate and irritation I had for the assignment. Imagine running a bloody macro (no idea what i means? click here!) and having to wait 5 bloody minutes? Excel is not responding and my com is lagging like a bunch of seniors on the road. And once the macro is finished loading, I notice an error in my data and I have to go through the data and correct them and run the macro again. And VBA is so retarded. Not all Excel functions can be used on VBA it seems. A simple function like Ln cannot be used in VBA. But that's not really the problem as using Log instead would solve it. What got me worked up was the fact that I didn't know that the Ln function couldn't be used in VBA and I had to spend more than an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my code. And did I mention that I'm using a 4 year old IBM Thinkpad? Not exactly powerful... But what I'm really bummed out about is that this is just a basic assignment but it's already quite annoying. In total 35000 simulations were runned but still I don't think it should take 5 long tormenting minutes to process it right?

You know what? I think you didn't really understand what i typed above, so let me summarise it for you. Actuarial studies sucks. (Well not really but I think it's fun to be a whinger...)

Silent Scream= ACCA Side Project?

Love Me Butch~ Barricade


Since Qi Hong let me listen to Revolution by Silent Scream, a local Malaysian Band, I suddenly remembered about this band, Love Me Butch. I think this band is awesome, so check it out! Their latest music video!

Wui Li, I still can't get over the fact that your lecturer released a single. I find it very amusing. It seems like Malaysian music scene has some hope. I just hope that Malaysians would support the local scene. Imagine our bands being more popular in Phillipines and Indonesia and not Malaysia? Well I hope in time to come, the Malaysian music scene will take over Asia. Fingers crossed. And I'm not talking about some Siti Nurhaliza crap. That ain't music. Well not to me. :P

Please forgive me for the title if it doesn't make sense. ( Chances are it won't.) Just couldn't think of anything.

LALALALA~ Another rant!

Note: Qi Hong wants to start a band. He's gonna be doing drums! Anyone interested?

BBC HARDTALK featuring special guest Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid Albar






I remember watching this like a month ago on the BBC news channel. Wonder if it was aired in Malaysia. Well anyways here's our good ol' Foreign Minister being interviewed and asked very sensitive questions that will get our asses handed to us by the ISA if we were the ones asking. Well not really but hey it's an eye opener and I just thought I share. All Malaysians should watch this in my opinion.

In all seriousness, I think there's nothing wrong in telling a lie or 2. After all he's our Foreign Minister and he's like our nations publicist and must ensure that our country's image and reputation is maintained. But please Dato', you really need to improve your lying skills. Maybe learn a few new lines. I'm sure you could have done better. I personally wasn't impressed and I think people could see that you were just lying through your teeth.

I have nothing against NEP other than it isn't working. And I don't think Malay Supremacy is good for Malaysia. We need unity, not racism.

I actually thought of posting this earlier, but later realising it being Hari Raya, I changed my mind.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!~

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
I ate my "lemang". LOLZ fine it's a leftover sushi roll. Damn forgot to take a pic.
One day, I must go for Tun Mahathir's Open House. One of these days, if God willing.
Anyways if I do have muslim visitors, just hope that you had a great Ramadhan and hope that every Malaysian has an awesome Hari Raya! It's Balik Kampung and Buka Rumah time! Yeah baby!

Lalala~

Head on Pillow = Not Happening...

It's 6.45am according to my laptop and I just finished my Stat2001 Assignment. Not a wink of sleep. Can't go to sleep now cause i have a tutorial at 10.00am and I'm worried I won't be able to wake up by 12.00 noon to hand in the assignment...

Feelings? Good cause I finally didn't sleep for once! What an experience. I'm also relieved that I've finally finished the bloody assignment. I would like to thank Milo and cheap Aldi Chewing Gum for making it possible for me to stay awake. I would also like to thank my friends for allowing me to look at their solutions so that I finally have a bloody idea as to how to answer the questions.

Maybe now I should prepare for my tutorial. LIKE HELL NO.... I'll go treat me self to a nice Starbucks Ice Blended Caramel drink thingy... Maybe?

Wonder how long I'll last....
