No Remorse

After a month studying in Essex , Finally realize its beauty in this town where by everything is so peaceful and quiet its a best place to stay if I gonna retire. Yesterday I went to London, Its totally another different zone, Its like when I am in Essex everything is so slow and steady its like in SLOW motion but once I stepped my foot into London everything seems so fast and rush. Time is like so packed whereby everyone schedule is so full that breathing is hard there.

Well first thing I did after going to London is to EAT. Straight away went to Tottenham Court Road finding Le Hong for Lunch at Inn Noodles, Omg the noodles there is really delicious nothing compare to what I eat in Essex.

Have been very busy lately trying to coop with the studies. Every time I feel that I am the most unlucky one suffer studying and feel like I am in a very bad position, I will look at my friends after looking at them I felt that they are not suffering any less than I am in fact most of them suffer hell a lot especially those who are doing Engineering in Imperial, Actuarial Science in LSE, Economics in LSE, Mech Engineering in Bath. Whats my tough compare to theirs? I am like 0.4% of what they were having right Now at year 2. Why am I complaining so much that I cant do it? I never did maths? I just realized like Heng Kai said: Never Learn before? Just Learn It lor.

Then I went in to a confusion while thinking of a maths question WHY do we have to accept something that is not proven logic? Guess what thats the main reason why I gave up Law, cause what seems reasonable to judges or reasonable man does not seems that reasonable to me. I just cant accept something that is taught without given a valid reasoning behind it. For students who does that, I feel that they are just accepting knowledge without knowing WHY is it like that and WHY must we learn it.

I admit that I am currently lack of knowledge or what you called ignorant , Its because I don't simply accept knowledge without knowing What is it for, How is it Used, How come like that, Whats the cause, Reasoning behind everything. I thinks that If you can prove me wrong, I will be glad to accept it but if you yourself is unsure then forget about it.

Besides that this are my new creations~!

What Degree am I doing? Cook?

Some people asked me why my blog turned into a food blog? well the answer is because in my life here in Essex there isn't anything interesting to do on my free times other than study. I was frustrated for the past few days due to ignorance and couldn't understand lecturers well and cant solve equations for homework. Today was a good day I managed to solve all my work and also catch up with the lecturers I feel that if i work hard I might actually turn something that I hate the most into something I like.

Its all About Maths.


Here ya go ..

What am I up to?

Noting much just improving my cooking skills for now and studying for my economics degree. As far as teaching and learning is going on , I find that if you have A levels maths and economics, your pretty much survived your first year already.

Too sad is that I never learned Add Maths in SPM, Math in A lvls and now I am doing stuffs that I am not sure my self what am I doing but one thing lucky is that my Maths for Econs teacher is very good and dedicated unlike the rest they are kinda hopeless in the lecture, maybe its the first 2 weeks perhaps later would be better. [I hope so]

It has been 2 weeks since I left Malaysia. First of all, I would like to thank all those who came to sent me off at the airport. It was a very meaningful event for me and thanks to my elder sister`s boyfriend for paying for all the KFC.

Ah san and me.

After sitting 1 and half hours plane, me and Kim Hong finally reached Thailand. My first impression was OMFG Thailand airport so cacat one? but according to Kim Hong that is the new airport the older one is worst. We went to a cafe to use our laptops cause we have to wait for 4hours till the next fight to London. After that while we are on the way to the terminal, I suggested Kim Hong to pose and I take a picture of him

Heres the pose :
Once we reached London, I got stuck at the medical check up department at the customs and because of that we missed the coach to Bath Spa and we had to pay 3 pounds to get change the ticket time to a later one which is 1/2 hour later from the original one. As soon as the coach arrived we hop in the journey took about 3hours to reach Bath Spa. After reaching there we went to Kim Hong `s new house and settled down and after that Kim Hong brought me around Bath.

Me outside the Church nearby the Roman Bath.

Then after that Kim Hong brought me to a Hong Kong Bistro to have dinner and according to him the food was just so so quality. I ordered a Duck and Char Siew Fried rice and the taste is special is not like anything I had in Malaysia therefore its GOOD.

Here is all the update for the past 2 weeks that I was missing in action , will upload more soon as my course :Economics is gonna be lots of maths therefore I might not be having a lot time to blog :(

God Bless me in Economics... Thanks :P

My Ucas Personal Statment

Economics has always intrigued me. Since young, my mother never failed to highlight the importance and significance of economics to me; particularly in dealing with monetary matters and exchange rate. Back then, it was rather difficult for me to comprehend her advice. Recognizing my curiosity, I decided to venture and discover more about trading: I sold and purchased some trading cards through Ebay. From this, the idea of exchange rates became vivid to me.

During high school, I decided to take up science subjects as I strongly believe that it teaches me to think and evaluate critically. Moreover, a more creative and innovative mindset is developed; thus assisting me to excel in the field of Economics. This is greatly proven when Economics became my forte during A levels. My interest in Economics is further enhanced when my teacher, a stock analyst brought me to greater heights by teaching me things which are beyond the A level syllabus. Consequently, I believe that a good link between Economics and the real world is very essential for a profitable future in the business industry.

In Economics my favorite topics are macro economics which related to national income, policies to overcome recession and inflation by using fiscal policy and monetary policy further with the exchange rate polices and supply side polices that will help to over come the economic problems and learning the drawbacks of all the policies like Phillip’s curve. Besides that there are many other topics that I am interested in micro economics like efficiency: with efficiency there wouldn’t be wastage of resources and we can maximise our profit in production. Inflation is one of the most important topics that I have studied in my A levels and how to calculate CPI so that we could estimate the changes in inflation in a country and to compare it with other countries we have to take into account of all other factors like exchange rate and population of the country.

Alongside my school work, I was active in co-curricular activities, particularly table tennis. Being the team leader, I had to motivate members to train and prepare them for competitions. Along the way, I faced several difficulties: members not turning up for practices and lacking of self-confidence. I managed to put up with it and as a result in the district competition the team secured third position for 3 consecutive years. This great achievement has not only taught me patience, but also instilled invaluable personal skills in me: teamwork, leadership and confidence. Furthermore, I was active in “taekwando” (martial arts). From this, I was trained to be self-disciplined as it is the key to excel in this sport. All my hard work paid off when I achieved 2 bronze medals in the taekwando sparring tournament. On top of that, I am also a school librarian and member of Leo club which organize charity fairs to raise money to aid those victims of tsunami. Other than that I have also played various sports like: volley ball, badminton, futsal and soccer. Representing my class for volley ball for inter-class games and representing my school for soccer and during my holidays I join my friends to swim, cycling and rock climbing.

The reason that I choose to study in UK is because educational institutions are constantly monitored and reviewed to ensure that courses offered are of high quality. Besides that, most of them are recognized and respected worldwide.

All in all, my past experiences have been rewarding and I believe that university is the next step for me. I have found economics to be a challenging and diverse discipline and I am interested in both macro and micro Economics. It is this variation of perspective, combined with its real world importance that makes Economics an appealing subject to study at university. It not only broadens my knowledge but also introduces me to a wider range of people. I aspire to graduate as an economist in the near future by reading my true passion: Economics.
