Oh...the excitement

22nd Nov 2009
I checked out his album on MySpace. I only got to listen to it halfway because the connection became increasingly slow as I stream the playlist. But the first few tracks were enough to convince me to get his album.



23rd Nov 2009
I woke up feeling jubilant because not only can I get my hands on his album but the fact that my mum is not working today. We went for a shopping spree in the Golden Triangle to look out for a new laptop and of course clothes and whatever it is a girl needs. I stopped by the CD shop but the album was not there. =(



24th Nov 2009
I read the newspaper while having brunch and I saw a two page spread about him and his new album. I smacked my head and realized "Of course, it was not in the CD shop yesterday....it is only the 22nd of Nov in US yesterday!!" LOL. I went to a MAD sale in 1 Utama. It was crazy because it was J-Card Day and about 30% of the mall was on offer especially Jusco where there were offers up to 80% off. I checked the CD shop again and it has not arrived yet because it was still early in the US. -.-



25th Nov 2009
I am pretty confident that the album is now stocked in every shop. But, my mum is working today and hence, I am stuck at home with no transport. Looks like I have to wait for the weekends before I can get the album....Sigh.

Heehee...I had to put this picture..his album cover is not really appealing..but who cares? It's the content that matters. XD

When Looks Meet Voices

I have been NUTS about an entirely new music genre-POPopera. However, I think that the only group I know that falls in this category is Il Divo. This post will be about my obsession over them. =P

The first time I ever heard Il Divo was when they release their first single "Regres A Mi" in Malaysia a few years ago. However, I did not really pay attention to them because it did not really fit my taste at that time and I did not take music listening as a serious hobby. Plus, it came during my hormonal stage of growth, where my playlist was filled with emo and rock music. Oh don't get me wrong, I still listen to rock music but I am over the very very emo tunes. LOL

Then my dad got the DVD of Il Divo's live performance in Merida, Spain just a few months ago. I kept on reminding myself to watch it but I have been so busy that it always slip past my mind. I finally watched it during one of the mini breaks I had and they were AMAZING!

The first song that got me really hooked to them was "Isabel". It is a Spanish song and despite being clueless about its meaning, the rhythm and their voices for the song melt my heart. I can sense that it is a sad song sang beautifully. From then on, I became their biggest fan where I continuously search more of their music and slowly add them to my collection.

Now, I can spend an entire day just listening to their songs. I listened to them so frequently that I recognise who was singing at which part. David Miller has the flawless, soulful, higher pitch voice, Carlos has the strong, richer and deeper voice that usually acts as the anchor of a song, Sebastian Izambard, probably the most gorgeous French alive, has more a pop voice, the mellow yet unique-Westlife kinda voice..which is why he always starts a song and Urs, the one with the dreamy voice. All together, they form songs that sounds perfect and flawless

I would totally recommend this group to anyone who wants to relax themselves after a stressful day. This is like a breath of fresh air in a crowded place or a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Haha...cliche-ness.

Say YES to IL DIVO! XD

Great looks, great voices..what more can you ask for in a music group?

Semester 3 came to an end so abruptly that I did not feel like it has ended. Even as I began to enjoy myself at the Intec Awards Night with a bunch of lively people and great food, it still felt like a normal Friday. The weekends too felt pretty normal despite the light headed feeling of finally being able to go for guilt-free shopping. Semester 3 just whizzed past me so quickly I hardly had time to day-dream. It was as if I am going to return back to school next Monday.

So, with 3rd semester ending, 4th semester approaches us with its surprises. I am glad IELTS is over and done with but I now have a bigger mountain to climb-A LEVELS. And if I look further into the future, in less than a year, if all goes well, I will be flown off to a foreign land to be a medical student. Gosh, I am not even sure if I am prepared for that. Everything just seems so fast!

On the lighter note, I have been a pretty lifeless person as I have watched 3 movies in 2 days. The first was Star Trek on Monday morning. OMG, after watching that show I am uncertain about which I like better- Star Wars or Star Trek. It was so COOL! Especially how they beam people to different destinations! And Zachary Quinto is nice to look at(Despite the pointy ears)

The next was Michael Jackson This Is It. It was amazing just watching the rehersals and my mum and I imagined about how it would be like if he actually DID stage the concert. If the rehersals (mind you not live) were already breath-taking, I am sure that the live concert would be surreal and mind-blowing. It is just pretty sad that he left the world too soon. It is just too soon. I almost cried the day I found out he died. He is truly a legend that will be remembered forever.

Today I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was SO HILARIOUS! Or maybe I am the only crazy maniac geek laugh at the goofiness and the geekiness of Flint Lockwood. His mannerism of announcing whatever he does is really amusing! His geeky thoughts and inventions too were funny to laugh at. And the part where his dad raise his eyebrows...the shocked eyes snet me laughing out loud! The part that got me laughing too was when he told the dad to send him the email and how the dad tried to use the computer. The entire show is just hilarious! Plus, imagine if his invention really succeeded in reality with no dangerometer. It would solve one of the world's biggest problem: Famine. What was funny about this was I am the only one laughing because I watched the show alone...sadly.

SP: You're a pilot too?
G1: Yes and I am also a particle physicist
SP: SERIOUSLY?
G1:No, just kidding. Oh, I am a comedian too

LOL!

No shortcut

Q: A completely unprepared student is given a true/false type of test which contains 10 questions. What is the probability that the student will, by selecting the answers at random, get all answers right?
It is later decided that a pass will be awarded or 8 correct answers. What is the probability of the student passing the test?

Answer:
For first part, using X~Bin (10, 0.5)

P(X=10) = 10C0 x 0.5^10 = 0.0009766

For the second part,

P(X ≥ 8) = 1 - P(X ≤ 7) = 1 - 0.9453 = 0.0547

Conclusion: There is only a 0.09766% chance of getting full marks and a 5.47% chance of passing.

Moral of the story: Even if it kills you Esther, please study Physics before the test date. =.=

And the same goes for the rest. Guessing game never helps. GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW!

Cause and Effect

"I wish I had the power to time travel, like Masi Oka..Then I can stop time just before exam ends, look over people's answers..."

"I wish I had the power to time travel too, so that I can multiply time itself so that I can have more time to study..."

"If I could travel through time, I would go back and get some brain juice from Einstein"

"Haha. NO actually, I've thought of something better. I would go back in time, find some way to kill Einstein so that there will be no theory of relativity and I won't have to be stuck studying them and being confused about them. LOL"

"Oh no, but then without his theory, the world would be topsy turvy with unexplainable events occuring around us"

"But his theory did not bring very good events either. Look what it did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

"But, if that did not happened, WW2 might not have ended until now and we won't be sitting here having this conversation peacefully"

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

I have nothing against Physics. I just need more time. I know I am going to be dead meat next week.

[Even when all hope is gone, move along, move along like I know you would do]

THE concert

I woke up when my alarm rang at a rather unusual time. I picked up my phone and I saw the reminder on the screen: OMG AAR!. Lol. I still have no idea why I needed a reminder for that. For such a FANTASTIC concert.

The mornings were spent on usual exam revisions for Biology and the thought of me being at the concert hasn't really sink in. It felt exactly like a typical Sunday except the fact that the plumber came. LOL.

I packed the necessary things for the event and Nic's dad picked me up from the station. We stopped by at McD drivethru for tea-dinner since we know there won't be time for that later. We arrived at Bukit Jalil at about 4 and naturally "blend into the line". The sardin packed condition caused by Malaysian kiasu-ism started earlier than I thought, where people were pushing and squeezing over a closed gate. -.- It was hot and stuffy and everybody was angry at each other. But I was kinda expecting this condition and we all had one tune in our head at that moment-MOVE ALONG. Oh my..WHAT WE DID FOR AAR. Lol

We finally braved through the mess and got a pretty good spot. The concert only really started close to 8 with performances from a few local bands. Disagree performed a few songs but "Crumbs" was the only one I was familiar with. The night continued with a mindblowing performance from Pop Shuvit which started with "Old School Rocka" that send the crowd jumping. One Bucks Short performed next and again I was not familiar with their songs but I rocked on along them.

Then the moment everyone was waiting for came although AAR took almost an hour to prepare the stage. We patiently waited although some gave up waiting which was good for us because we were getting closer to the stage. "Move Along"..that is all that matters at that moment.

Finally, Chris of AAR started on the drums for "Move Along" and the crowd was ESTATIC!. We were screaming and jumping and singing along the song they performed. Tyson wore a Native American headband as part of a Halloween dress up. But what truly caught my attention was Nick on the guitar. He is so cool and versatile on the guitar although we only managed to catch a glimpse of him every now and then because he was on the far left of the stage when we were at the right part of it. But I thought HE WAS SO GOOD! I practically yelled " I LOVE YOU NICK" more than 10 times! The awesome sound of the instruments playing together got me literally jumping like mad! XD We were euphoric and our minds were packed with endorphins and adrenaline throughout the entire concert!

The slight dristle did not dampen our spirits too and although we were soaked in sweat and rainwater, the crowd cheered like mad the entire time AAR was performing. Their performances were amazing and they were so HILARIOUS especially Tyson. My mind and eyes were locked on the stage the entire time. For me, it felt like time stopped and there was nowhere else I would rather be at that time. Plus, given the recent stressful thoughts I have been harbouring lately due to exams, last night was really a night to wind down and just let loose of all those thoughts and feelings. I truly had an immense amount of fun.

I was not even exhausted after I came home because I could not get my mind of the concert. Thus, when I wake up this morning, I needed to blog this entry before the memory slowly fades away. But given the fantastic entertainment they provided, this memory will linger around for a very long time.

It was too bad that my camera was gone and I could only take a few blurr pictures of the band. I could not get the T-shirt too as I was not a Digi user. Thus, the few memories from the concert would be my squashed up entry ticket and most importantly, to be able to see, experience and feel the music from the band I love so much.

Now, hard reality strikes back on me. I have a Chem written practical test tomorrow. My feet hurts, I might be losing my voice but I still feel euphoric. XD

Busy

This week has been pretty crazy with loads of exams until there was a point where I had to switch my mind from leptons and cyclotrons to benzoic acid and hexaaquacopper ions under one minute. That happened because I had no break at all between Physics and Chem class.

I anticipate next week to be even crazier. Thank goodness for study leaves. And thank goodness for TOMORROW! XD

*Scream loudly*- I AM AN AARMY! XD
