MC all the way

This is like a fairy tale:

Just watch the first video and then, the next...you will know why. Most probably some of you might have knew this. I knew it long time ago but since I am addicted to her songs now..hahaha, I might as well post this to share with those who don't know about this continuation "fairy tale" music video. :)

Drums

It was just like any other day when our parents were driving us back home from school. About 6 years ago, I think it was brother who had emphasized on the drummers once when we were listening to the songs played by hitz.fm in the car. Not that I have not noticed the drums playing but I have realized that I have not tried to only listen and pay attention to the drums playing. All those times when I was in the car, I have only put my focus listening to the vocalist singing while trying to grasp the lyrics, the guitar doing its thing or the piano playing as the start off for a song. I know my brother might not remember that he have once said that but ever since then, I sort of paid attention to all kinds of instruments played in the song and that explains why I listen to one song repeatedly..He said that he would be interested in playing drums if he had the chance to. I was wondering if I were to play any instrument, I wonder which instrument will I play best or have talent in? Piano or guitar? Nah, too ordinary although it's sweet and touchy. hmm...violin? Not really, it's just too elegant..flute or anything similar to it? nope..I think it will hurt. Drums? Hmm..too punky and I will create a chaos out of it. I will just stick to no instrument for the moment..lets just say that I am still searching for the right one.

I think drummers don't get much attention in the band..simply because they are usually placed at the back of the vocalist and guitarist due to the size of the drums and thus, making them as the back drop in music videos..That's my opinion at least. Plus, drums are just too loud..I don't know the exact reason for it but I have wondered why people were more amazed or touched when someone plays the piano or the guitar rather when someone plays the drums with all kind of beats..Maybe different instruments give different feelings or maybe there might be something else that I don't know of. The people who I know of usually play the piano or the guitar and also, parents who I knew send their small little kids to practice them but not many would actually want to send kids to learn drums except for one kid who is my friend's cousin..Drums are the biggest-sized ones and yet, they failed to get the major attention.Anyway, drums give loud beats which I think is cool for some reason. :)

By the way, enjoy the video on top. It's a drum cover for 'Pieces of Me' by Ashlee Simpson. Just try to listen to the drums and only the drums. :P

Master Oogway's Wisdom

Kung Fu Panda's story line might be predictable but it surely had impressed me. Thank you, Master Oogway. You might have heard of his advice before but he had surely convinced me. Well, at least, it is worth to be heard again and again to get some motivation. And now, I want to share it here. :)

Sophomore?

Yes, I will be officially a second-year university student soon! So soon that I'm starting to think whether I've really got what it takes to be one. I'll leave that for time to tell me. I don't know for sure if I'm ready for this new term. :S

Maybe I'm just reluctant to accept the fact that my holidays are gonna be over. I don't like the busy routine of a university student. Some people say that I don't get the taste of that sort of life because I live nearby. Yea probably, but it's not like I think life is really easy now. In other words, it's just not like the kind of life in school where things aren't so difficult.

I came across the article on student suicides in South Korea in the Star newspaper. The reason for this is the "obsession for academic success." I took the exact phrase they used in that article. Nowadays, students take their grades so seriously just because they hope to have a successful career later in life.

The question is whether there should be a change in the current education system. Probably it's time for students to realise that there are other stuffs in their lives besides assignments, exams and classes.

Afterall, what's life if there's no fun to it? But then again, can we enjoy our lives without a promising future ahead of us? Perhaps we should just take things moderately. :)

Childhood flashbacks

Woke up at 3am. Went to the toilet. Opened my laptop and thanks to Google, I have found out that it was Richard Scarry's birthday. Nothing was amazing about it until I clicked on the link and saw the pictures. Then, I saw the worm in the apple helicopter!! All I could said was "Hey, I have seen this before!"

I did not know Richard Scarry until now. All I remembered was that I have watched 'Busy Town' in tapes and played the games in the computer when I was younger. I can't remember what was going on in the story and really, I had no idea at all..but I remembered clicking on the trucks, the helicopter, the animals...etc. It was such a waste that I did not know the creator of this amazing author who have created all this. The surprising thing was that 'Busy Town' was apart of my childhood..Even though I can't recall most of them, I know that it had attracted me when I was little. I liked it at some point of my life.

If I had not been awake..I would not have found the creator of 'Busy Town'..It would have been such a waste to not know who had created something that was once so interesting and educating in my life. This is just so amazing!!:)

Some things just happen for a reason, I guess. hahaha!

Go Blue!

I was doing my webwork earlier and as expected, I did not manage to finish all of them..this time is the worst of all, I have two questions unanswered. I guess I have to start earlier next time. I was just too tired to start during the weekend due to the muscle aches from the Mid West Games in Madison, Wisconsin.



Tha Capitol in Madison!

Well, I was very satisfied with our very own women soccer team and even more proud to be a part of this amazing team! We did not win any medal but we managed to play in the semi-finals. I am not very good in sports..especially when it comes to moving my legs..I am pretty sure that I am more of a hand person. Because of that, I have almost jeopardized my team with two penalties. I felt the fear of disappointing my whole team and I prayed so hard that Izyan (our goal keeper and our captain as well) would be able to catch the ball. Thank God, she managed to clean up my mess!



The Wolverines! :)

The first two matches made me so scared..they had very strong attackers and strikers. Since, I was playing defense, I could feel the pressure. There was so many times in which I have secretly wished that I was out of the field cheering along with the spectators but I know I can't be selfish. I have to give all I have just like the rest did. However, the last match against Purdue really got me fired up. They weren't as aggressive as the other two teams(Minnesota and Vanderbilt)..they are just like us. We managed to get a tie (thanks to Nuha who volunteered to play as the attacker and help us to score the goals). A little twist in the game plan did some good for our team. Unfortunately in the end, they have managed to score a goal in the extra play off time given. So, yea..we lost. Although some of us were injured like Zera and Syiqin and most of us were totally exhausted, I don't feel that we are at loss. Being that it was our first time competing in the Mid West for soccer, I was proud that we got into the semi-finals! We really had fun and we enjoyed the last match. It was a good one indeed! We even had time for taking a few nice shots with our t-shirts. Thanks to Anita for the awesome pictures.



Hopefully, we will be competing next year and when that time comes, it's our turn to shine! Go Blue!;)

By the way, we managed to paint our nails too. Just for the spirit..not to look good or anything. I would have taken them off way earlier if it was not for Michigan!
