FRM Part1
It has to be back to late March for why I decided
to take FRM, got my notes and had my revision all within a month...
An (not) important person announced that he was no long
single and this broke my heart.... To recover.. some choose to focus on work,
some indulge themselves in gym room, and I ... chose to take a professional
exam.. Given the huge financial cost, there is no turning back; and with such a
definite deadline, I had no choice but study. And it works. I got my exam passed (Im Deutsch -
und einem Mann vergessen. Dass ist zu gut fur mich!! )
Here is the timeline of my FRM journey:
(My background - I studied business in high school
and university. And I passed both CFA level 1 & 2. While reading the
syllabus of FRM Part1, it came to me that 1/4 of it is very similar to
the Econometric + Math & Stat that I studied before; and another 1/4
is similar to CFA syllabus. That's why I decided to take this risk - thou I
found I under-estimate how deep and advanced FRM Part1 actually is.)
Early Apr - heart broken
12 Apr - check the syllabus and weighting; decide
to take P1 or P1+P2
14 Apr - paid and registered for P1. Got my notes
printed. Started the revision
14 Apr - 20 May
I did not take any company leave for exam even I
know some people do. I revised during lunch break, afterwork and weekends. I
declined most dinner appointments during the month so basically I have around
2-3 weekdays / week to study from 7pm - 1am.
For weekends, I usually found a cafe / study
room to study from 11am-5pm, cause my bed is a huge temptation.
21 May - Exam day
Result - Got a marginal pass :P And gonna study
HARD for P2 in Nov! My friend is shocked at the result and said I am good at taking exam. I am not going to deny that indeed.

Human of Hong Kong
I am still
deeply touched by a little story encountered yesterday, just want to record it
down when my memory is still fresh.
I was in
charge of a trade fair and hired a few temporary staff as promoters. The 4 girls
I hired are all post-90s (90 後), a group that may
be labelled by the general public. Soon,
I found that one girl was quite quiet and not too proactive in asking the
buyers to visit to our booth. But one little thing she did really touched me, and
it makes me understand everyone has their strength to shine.
An old man came to our booth and approached the girl. He
started talking to the girl about his inventions, which I guessed this from his
gesture. First for 10 minutes, then for another 10 minutes. He kept talking and
the girl could only smile, listen and nod. I noticed that and wanted to help the
girl. So I came near the girl and asked if she needed a toilet break.
She rejected my offer.
While I was wondering why she could not get the hidden
purpose of my offer, another 25 minutes passed and finally the old man had
finished all he wanted to share and left the booth. So I asked the girl, what
is his invention about?
The girl said she did not know.
The old man was speaking in a Chinese dialect and I
thought the girl understand. The girl said she could not understand even one single
word he spoke, but she just wanted to be there and let the old man know that
someone is listening his story.
As an extremely inpatient person, you don't know how
touched I felt when I heard her response. The girl is younger than me but she really
got the characteristics I appreciate. J

Solomon's Perjury (ソロモンの偽証/ 所羅門的偽證) , 2015
前篇：事件後篇．終審
Argh I am quite disappointed to be honest.. Understand the pace of Japanese movie is slow in general, but there are totally almost 300 minutes for both part 1 and 2, I expect more description in the later part. May my expectation is too high or maybe because I watched both parts on the flight...
My rating: 6.5/ 10
