Hi Kelly,

Congrats on your Charterhood

Noted that you used Schweser manuals for L3, did you also use them for L1 & 2? Did you try Stalla notes in any case?

Thanks.

-Victoria

The CFA recommends 250 study hours for each of the exams, and I have to say, I find that really light. I only finished level 1 and am knee deep in L2 right now, but I can’t say I find it a whole lot harder than L1. Just my opinion though, clearly a lot of people disagree with me based on the general feeling that L2 is supposed to be the hardest, but I just don’t see it. Haven’t seen any L3 material, so I can’t comment there, but hopefully I pass in june and will get a chance to look at L3 some time early next year.
I see this blog was written a while ago. did you pass L3?

Comment on Beware the Tiger by Steve J

I flew Tiger once, Hobart to Melbourne after a funeral. Took off on time. Landed safely. I ask no more than that, Was def a no frills experience, but all I needed to do was go home. Qantarse were charging $614 for the same flight — I don’t think so! This was because of the Australian Open, but even so, $614 for Hobart to Melbourne one way is seriously GOUGING.

I had a very nasty incidence with Tiget airways too and I literally hated the experience. The ground staff were the rudest people I have encountered in my life. Its not only a budget airline but also the nastiest airline ever. I felt cheated flying the airlines. The person at the desk demanded to see my onwards ticket rudely on a one way ticket from kuala lumpur to singapore. I told him that I have a valid ticket and am not liable to answer him since he is not in immigration and by what authority is a check in staff asking for my onward ticket is beyond me. Then comes the worst part. I was over weight in my luggage. I was asked to cough up 8 times the ticket price for extra kilos i was carrying. And since it was a cheap airline (i will not call it a budget airline) I assumed the extra kilos will be charged nominally but it turned out to be a huge sum. The ground staff rudely told me you should have checked how much to carry before now pay up or we will not board you. I demanded to see the manager to complaint about the staffs behaviour but there was no supervisor there only worker class people manning the boarding. I would rather fly air asia anyday than this cheap and rude airlines.

That is a brilliant photo of cabbage given the topic of your post.

Or maybe I’m just perpetually gutter-minded.

Either way, hee!

Hi Kelly, Xiola’s photos always make me smile. I feel like a doting anonymous granny. She is adorable and I like the way you love her. I was so tense as a first time mother 29 years ago! Yr blog offers the diversity that I’m not usually exposed to since my world as a retiree in Malaysia is quite different. Thanks for yr reliable tips. You may check me out on facebook to assuage yr fear of this stranger in www. Happy mothering!

While I loved your photos of Xiola, I do respect and agree with your stance – and I’m one of the anonymous world! Look forward to more baby related postings (even if I’m not with child, I file it away in my mind for future reference).
