Yeah there is hardly any sports now. Nba is over. I jinxed spurs after i commented i wish i was danny green dropping those 3 point bombs at a rate higher than mps. Soccer season is over. Dont watch baseball. This weekend there is the hungarian grand prix though to keep me sane. Over here in singapore we are no good in sports, so we watch a wide variety…
grand prix? car racing is quite senseless if u ask me? racing round in a car? dun get me started on singapore gp
Isn’t the Tour de France going on now too?
Jus finished
“grand prix? car racing is quite senseless if u ask me? racing round in a car? dun get me started on singapore gp”
Yeah used to think so as well, couldn’t understand the interest in seeing cars go round and round. Till I started watching full races…got to appreciate some of the finer points like tyre management, strategy, appreciate the crazy speed at which they are going in, reflexes needed, danger, drama, concentration, fine margins in winning and losing (akin to a band 10) etc. Try playing the F1 video game and you will see what i mean about needing reflexes and following the racing line. Of course its only a game, so if you smash into a wall no big deal…you just chuck your controller into the trash can. Actually…basketball is just throwing a ball into a hoop, soccer kicking a leather ball into 2 posts erected…
Anyway agree on the Singapore GP though, been to a real circuit like in Shanghai, you see much more as a spectator. In Singapore, you see the barricades. Hope the tourism board doesn’t come after me…
Guess we are deviating from the thread topic though…2 more weeks arggh…i would pay 100 bucks to fast forward to result date. pass or fail.
100 bucks only? Ready to pay more to get the result now and get on with my life!
lol what can STB do to u man. do not self censor! our country dun need more yes men!
anyhow its just another 2 weeks. pass or fail for pple in sg is more bearable…becos we have long weekend!
The tourism board thing was a joke, they can look me up for all i care. Ha. Long weekend true. But still one day for nosy people to ask u if u passed or failed. Which can rub salt into raw wounds. Sooraj well 100 is just a ball park. But u wont feel to good looking back at shelling 500 and fail. 100 and fail i can still stomache ha
That is a very xenophobic statement. I would have thought the program would have opened your eyes to different cultures. There are lots of first world countries that soccer is the most popular sport and those people aren’t poor/uneducated. Your statement shows that no amount of education can iradicate ignorance. So sad.
With L1 and L2 results out, I am really getting anxious. Only 2 more weeks to go
I don’t understand the delay in level 3 result. The CFAi must be some damn lazy bunch. Just a few essay questions taking months to grade…far from impressive.
Wish we could see ours today as well.
So what, take the next 2 weeks of grace period as blessing, you don’t need to worry if you don’t pass and you aren’t gonna make much use of it if you do pass.
what’s the big hurry?
I think you misunderstood his point. The most popular sport in the world should be the sport that the majority of the world can play/understand. The harsh reality is that most of the world is poor and most of the poor are likely to be at the lower end of the IQ distribution and/or uneducated. Soccer is much more affordable and easier to understand than, say, golf or polo and as a result will obviously be more popular on a global basis. There really is nothing xenophobic about his statement at all, I think you just saw his first point and took offense so you decided to bash him. I would argue that no amount of education can iradicate your feelings of inferiority, which is probably a whole lot worse than merely being ignorant.
ok level 1 & 2 results are out. For some reason, i felt the anxiety knowing that my turn will come in 2 weeks. 38% level 1 and 43% level 2. So from the remaining level 3 takers, I’m/we am/are supposed to beat like 50-55%. Obviously, you know there are those usual suspects who always ace every exam (those we hate in school) I estimate to be 15%. Leave mere mortals like me to scrap with the remaining 85%. 50/85 means I have to beat 60%. Sobering thought.
To me, the worst thing about level III is the essay. You have no gauge whatsoever of whether your answers are correct. On a calculation on the MCQ, if you find your answer in the choices you have some reasonable assurance that it has a good chance of being correct. On some of those essay calculations, I may think I know how to do them but I may have got them completely wrong.
Worse thing about failing, is the opportunity cost of failing.
Think having a forum helps me get by till 6 Aug.
bobice: u sound young
Far from it. Immature maybe. Young no. Too old to study from another year. Mid 30s is not that far away… Anybody old enough to know who “Bobice” (people in US should) is, is defintely not young.
In fact, Im hesistant to start a family until passing this. Can’t imagine studying and having a newborn at the same time. Might go mad. So guess i leave it to the gods above to decide my/his/her fate.
ha i thot ur still schooling thats y so free to worry about the exams…already so busy with work, pass or fail is already determined on june 1 so no point worrying lor
^ I agree with your sentiment.
Don’t worry about it everyone. We all have a good chance. I’d say better than 50%.
there are some serious butterflies in my belly. I think i did ok but i am scared shitless that I might be band 10.
monday next come already and put us outta our misery and hopefully into joy.
