When I was younger, I used to be scared that my parents would die in their sleep. Hence, everytime I pass by them late at night, I'll put a hand on them to make sure they're still breathing and go back to sleep. So.. I have insomnia and having a snoring partner isn't helpful to be fair it's not that loud but I'm pretty sensitive to sound and light when I can't sleep. Now I'm trying to think that: Snoring is his way of saying "Hey, I'm alive, don't worry and sleep well!" idk if that's sweet or sad lol.
For 2 quarters now, I've lost a few weeks, to being sick.. to brain throbbing pain, to paralysis, to numbness, to blindness, to panic, to blood and tears in my eyes actually.. I essentially lose them to death 💀 and the inevitability is that we will all lose our 100% to sick, and death eventually.. why don't we think/talk/do more about it? 🤔 that makes me sad 🥺 and ponder.. *as long as I don't/won't lose my will?
Been 49 days since you've gone on 3/8 IWD too, how app- you're one of the strongest ladies I know For all the kisses I forgot to give, For all the time we had to grieve.. Like the flowers you potted and groomed, Your tough love caused our souls to bloom.. You smacked us when we didn't finish our food, You never said so but it's for our own good.. You showed us how women can be strong, And then pawned our asses in mahjong.. Weeping about how your books were burned, You taught me how lucky I was to be learned.. Pouring your wisdom way downstream, In us, you inspired many big dreams.. Though I hope you're in a better place, These memories we have will always stay..
Trigger Warning: Suicide + related thoughts Disclaimer: I have 0 medical training, heck I didn't even do Biology in high school. What I'm about to share are mostly personal experiences + stories I've heard of or read about. This is 100% an opinion piece- please take it with a pinch of salt and #dontsuemeplease First and foremost, this post is inspired by a conversation I had recently about suicide.. The topic being so stigmatised and taboo in our Asian community make it very difficult to talk about.. However, thanks to the sharing, I've came up with the below analysis: Firstly, when someone is suicidal or verbalises such thoughts, it scares people away.. Even if it doesn't, said person may not know what to do. To add to the difficulties, I've realised there are many forms of "suicidal thoughts" and the "best way" to deal with them can vary with the form. In this post, I'll focus on breaking down the various forms of "suicidal though...
20210926: 2 days out and as per Chmel tradition, I'm here to encapsulate my thoughts before the actual paper itself. 😉 Some mumbled thoughts I'd synthesis into a proper post after the paper the importance of timed trials including: 1. environment, what do you need around you? eg, water, mouse, how your surrounding is organised 2. notes and exam paper to be organised to optimise efficiency eg, use of highlights and color coding to see keywords. I don't have a second screen so everything is done on 1 screen and space needs to be optimised too (I use windows+left/right) 3. state of mind. doing timed trials (and I make sure do it during the actual exam timing (4.30-8pm sgt)) allows you to understand what could go wrong and improve on them before the exam. eg, how you struggle with brainstorming more points and think of ways to better optimise. 4. also made me realise I need to time my coffee (currently still optimising, but timing it to be at 330pm later on) to optimise energ...
EDIT 202107: So.. I've passed CP1 and I thought it's a good time to republish this ________________ I have a lot to say about the study methods, but I think I'll share them here only after I've passed cause I mean.. if I fail you probably wouldn't want to learn/know my methods but here are some general exam tips EDIT: I have decided to apply what I've learned in CP1 and structure this post based on ACC :D 1. Preamble This is IFoA's 3rd (arguably 2nd) attempt at online papers for CP1, 2. Specifying the Problem The first stage of the actuarial control cycle is to identify and analyse the risks of the various stakeholders in detail, and to set out clearly the problem from the point of view of each stakeholder IFOA wants to have a fair exam, where everyone who is deserving of a pass passed Students want to pass, especially me, and will study hard to try to score well for the paper. Employers want students to pass to be able to move on to the nex...

Hey guys! So Jenson and I went ahead and bought Sol Acres with ID package this Sunday, after 12 days of being official =P Just wanted to share some information right here for other couples who may be researching. Pre Script: I know this may seem super fast to a lot of my friends, and knowing how impulsive I can be, a lot of you may be worried for me.. Just wanted to put it out there that this was very calculated and we have made contingencies just in case the relationship doesn't work out . Unlike most couples going for BTO/EC, our main driver of getting an apartment is the income ceiling of applying for a public flat. We thought: since it will be impossible for us to BTO next year, why don't we try it (for fun) this year? Our POV was that of an investment- and if it solidifies our relationship, why not? After shopping around and being more serious we decided to go for an EC , expecting rental income yield of ~4-9% (after 5 years of MOP ) and 6-10% p.a. capital gains after...

Money is essential. What is essential? Water is essential. Air is essential. yet we don't see people having water or air banks or hoarding on to tanks of these substances *for rainy days*. Create value , not money. Trust, and you shall provide.
