There is another year to finish before I graduate, but I just want to prepare early and widen my chances for that scholarship. A year back, I was offered a place at University of Heriot-Watt for degree in Actuarial Sc. but I couldn't secure a scholarship. So, here I am still in Malaysia. Everyone said it was a good opportunity getting into Heriot -Watt but my parents believe that we, children should fund ourselves to study overseas.

Exam preparations
My below than CGPA 3.00 result for my last semester is a hard-slapped truth that I'm not coping well with my course right now. Should I blame it on our incompatibality or just plain dumb me? I confess that diving into Actuarial Science was decided purely by me. So, I am not giving up yet! I came across this article while surfing the web and find it quite useful. Maybe there are more in the future. Here are the links :

Personal financial tips help
I've been really pumped-up about my personal finance this week. Just read The Edge yesterday and today I'm surfing the web for more finacial help from finance-web-gurus. I have to admit The Edge is really a good read. True, it has little information to help my personal financial to grow as I am still starting small and still on a very basic level with questions like "How does FD work?" Stupid, I know. Considering I have graduated with a Diploma in Actuarial Sc, it's practically a shame. I am studying my degree on the same subject, fyi. If this is not a wake-up call on how shallow my general knowledge are, I dunno what is. So, I'm on a mission to read up more on finance. Investments intrigued me much, wonder if I can specialise in investments as an actuary? =D Have to go through the basic pro papers first. Anyway, here are links for good-reads on the global financial state & happenings or helpful articles to build your personal finance.

The right products for me!
Usually when I have the extra cash to buy myself the personal care products that looks promising. (The advertising does it!) I started trying a few product in these few years and have come up with the ones that works for me. =)
1. Garnier Light Facial Cream
-Works very well for lightening your skin. I don't recommend for lifetime continuous usage of product though. Wud like to try the body cream, wonder if it is as effective.
2. T3 Lemon / Orange Facial Wash
- Effectively keeps pimples away. I rarely had any pimples problems at all during the duration I’m using this.
3. Olay facial cream
-The most compatible brand for my skin.
4. Body shop perfume.
-Affordable and most of scents are intoxicatingly sweet & natural. Double like!
Products that are just not for me =(
1. Nivea facial cream
-Not comfortable with d smell n does little to protect my skin.
2. Palmolive shampoo
-It leaves my hair all coarse and dry and tangled.
3. Dove shampoo (old blue-range)
-Causes my hair loss. Eeek~
-Although they have a new & improved range, I’m still quite skeptical. O.o
4. Safi Balqis facial wash
-Leaves my skin tensed & Botox-like.
5. Loreal Facial cream
-I like the texture, smell n everything but not really effective. My skin doesn't improve much.
