Christmas Baby Cries
Mountain pine weighed down so low
Branches bowed with silent snow
But underneath the glistening
The wordless wood is listening
Listening
Listening
Before the frost will fly
When the Christmas baby cries
Beasts that bristle in the cold
Huddle in the bitter blow
But while the blast is thundering
Their frozen souls are wondering
Wondering
Wondering
If this is the night
When the Christmas baby cries
Wind comes creeping through the cracks
Flame blows from the candle wax
Yet there is faith for fragile men
A child is born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem
Bethlehem
For our hope will rise
For our hope will rise
For our hope will rise
When the Christmas baby cries

Jesus Saves
This is so powerful a song! I am not a Christian, but I wish I am. I listened to the song twice in my local church, it is even more impressive

不必刻意回憶也不會把你忘記
"Time waits for no one". I eventually understand it after viewing the movie
在操場上的你的身影 比天空中的白雲還要自由
就連日記中描述你的文字 也彷彿照亮一切的光芒
曾經的我不懂什麼是喜歡 不過這段一去不再來的時光
告訴了我喜歡一個人的意義
將與你共度的時光銘刻在心底 不必刻意回憶也不會把你忘記
即使有一天我喜歡上了別人
你始終是特別的你 重要的你 如同這個季節將循環不息
初次與你聊天的那段放學時光 自己學會了從不曾有過的笑容
聽到你歡笑的聲音遠遠傳來 為何我的心會隱隱作痛
曾經的自己是如此害怕改變 還以為我們可以永遠都是朋友
以為世上的事物永遠不會結束
在漫長無盡的時空中與你相遇 讓我學會了前所未有的堅強
即使某天我抵達了嚮往的明天
你始終是特別的你 重要的你 如同這個季節將再次來臨
無論何時都不會忘記 自從你如此對我說的夏天
時光已匆匆流逝 直到今日我才不禁嘆然落淚
將與你共度的時光銘刻在心底 不必刻意回憶也不會把你忘記
即使有一天我喜歡上了別人
你始終是特別的你 重要的你 如同這個季節將循環不息
在操場上的你的身影 比天空中的白雲還要自由
就連日記中描述你的文字 也彷彿照亮一切的光芒
曾經的我不懂什麼是喜歡 不過這段一去不再來的時光
告訴了我喜歡一個人的意義
將與你共度的時光銘刻在心底 不必刻意回憶也不會把你忘記
即使有一天我喜歡上了別人
你始終是特別的你 重要的你 如同這個季節將循環不息
初次與你聊天的那段放學時光 自己學會了從不曾有過的笑容

Now it is finally over!
The date of 11/21/2009 finally arrived and lapsed.. I do not know if I killed FRM or got kill by FRM, but I am happy it is over (if it is over).
Overall I think GARP did a decent job. The exam covered many many deep and detailed concepts but almost all were within the AIM coverage, and it was also quite balanced.. it did not have as much Basel questions as I thought. Basically FRM is much more difficult than I thought when I first registered for the exam. I think it is more difficult than any levels of CFA, but maybe my memory is just short and the most recent pain is the most painful.. It is difficult also because FRM is still not as mature as CFA and there are many unclarities. It looks like the exam question writers are more market practitioners and they sometimes just assume some things in the questions.
AM session was very difficult and challenging. I was once 15 min behind, but finally managed to finished 5-6 minutes earlier. the biggest challenge was time management.. GARP seems to most value how strongly the concepts are embedded in you so you know how to approach/think right away after reading the question.. and just memorizing all the formulas would not help much.. most of the time, i did not have time to think twice. The PM session was more manageable. but i do not feel a lot easier than AM. Maybe I over-thought (yes i realized i did for at least 1 question already), but i have found quite some tricky stuffs hidden in some of the PM questions so one needed to be very careful.. As a result, i took more paced approach, and turned out i was too paced and only had 2-3 minutes after I finished the last question. :(
i have to say i benefited very much from the discussions with David Harper of Bionic Turtle.. For some of the concepts shown in the exam, i could vividly remember David’s explanations in his replies to my questions! Many of the concepts are deeper than they seem to be and i would not be able to understand them without the discussions.. so i felt really lucky when seeing those questions. It pays to ask! And again THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVID!

与妻书
意映卿卿如晤，吾今以此书与汝永别矣！吾作此书时，尚是世中一人；汝看此书时，吾已成为阴间一鬼。吾作此书，泪珠和笔墨齐下，不能竟书而欲搁笔，又恐汝不察吾衷，谓吾忍舍汝而死，谓吾不知汝之不欲吾死也，故遂忍悲为汝言之。
吾至爱汝，即此爱汝一念，使吾勇就死也。吾自遇汝以来，常愿天下有情人都成眷属；然遍地腥云，满街狼犬，称心快意，几家能彀？司马春衫，吾不能学太上之忘情也。语云：仁者 “老吾老，以及人之老；幼吾幼，以及人之幼”。吾充吾爱汝之心，助天下人爱其所爱，所以敢先汝而死，不顾汝也。汝体吾此心，于啼泣之余，亦以天下人为念，当亦乐牺牲吾身与 汝身之福利，为天下人谋永福也。汝其勿悲！
汝忆否？四五年前某夕，吾尝语曰：“与使吾先死也，无宁汝先而死。”汝初闻言而怒，后经吾婉解，虽不谓吾言为是，而亦无词相答。吾之意盖谓以汝之弱，必不能禁失吾之悲，吾先死留苦与汝，吾心不忍，故宁请汝先死，吾担悲也。嗟夫！谁知吾卒先汝而死乎？吾真真不能忘汝也！回忆后街之屋，入门穿廊，过前后厅，又三四折，有小厅，厅旁一室，为吾与汝双栖之所。初婚三四个月，适冬之望日前后，窗外疏梅筛月影，依稀掩映；吾与(汝)并肩携手，低低切切，何事不语？何情不诉？及今思之，空余泪痕。又回忆六七年前，吾之逃家复归也，汝泣告我：“望今后有远行，必以告妾，妾愿随君行。”吾亦既许汝矣。前十余日回家，即欲乘便以此行之事语汝，及与汝相对，又不能启口，且以汝之有身也，更恐不胜悲，故惟日日呼酒买醉。嗟夫！当时余心之悲，盖不能以寸管形容之。
吾诚愿与汝相守以死，第以今日事势观之，天灾可以死，盗贼可以死，瓜分之日可以死，奸官污吏虐民可以死，吾辈处今日之中国，国中无地无时不可以死，到那时使吾眼睁睁看汝死，或使汝眼睁睁看我死，吾能之乎？抑汝能之乎？即可不死，而离散不相见，徒使两地眼成穿而骨化石，试问古来几曾见破镜能重圆？则较死为苦也，将奈之何？今日吾与汝幸双健。天下人不当死而死与不愿离而离者，不可数计，钟情如我辈者，能忍之乎？此吾所以敢率性就死不顾汝也。吾今死无余憾，国事成不成自有同志者在。依新已五岁，转眼成人，汝其善抚之，使之肖我。汝腹中之物，吾疑其女也，女必像汝，吾心甚慰。或又是男，则亦教其以父志为志，则我死后尚有二意洞在也。甚幸，甚幸！吾家后日当甚贫，贫无所苦，清静过日而已。
吾今与汝无言矣。吾居九泉之下遥闻汝哭声，当哭相和也。吾平日不信有鬼，今则又望其真有。今人又言心电感应有道，吾亦望其言是实，则吾之死，吾灵尚依依旁汝也，汝不必以无侣悲。
吾平生未尝以吾所志语汝，是吾不是处；然语之，又恐汝日日为吾担忧。吾牺牲百死而不辞，而使汝担忧，的的非吾所忍。吾爱汝至，所以为汝谋者惟恐未尽。汝幸而偶我，又何不幸而生今日中国！吾幸而得汝，又何不幸而生今日之中国！卒不忍独善其身。嗟夫！巾短情长，所未尽者，尚有万千，汝可以模拟得之。吾今不能见汝矣！汝不能舍吾，其时时于梦中得我乎！一恸！辛未三月廿六夜四鼓，意洞手书。
