Holidays

Haih. It's the time of the year again. Even I've undergone the "Sekolah Rendah" & "Sekolah Menengah" era, still the school holidays schedule never change. It's the year end 7 weeks break! Is it a good or a bad period to have this long break? I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. However I disagree to say it's the best thing that can happen either right now. Why good? simply because it's HOLIDAYS! who doesn't like holidays huh? The word indicates time to relax, chill, forget everything about stress and studies, and basically everything good. On the other hand, it's kinda bad cause I feel just when I feel I'm starting to get along with everyone associated at college, the holidays came. I mean, holidays are good, but it's not the best time for it to come.

What to do? Work? I've done that a few years back. This year, I'm not really sure whether I want to work anot. Probably yes...maybe no. No mood to work. Work for what? Find money? Past time? Money ain't the most important thing to me right now. Contributed by the fact that I'm still single, of course.

Sometimes I feel some things I do are not appreciated enough by people. Treat them so good for what? What do you get? Do they even appreciate it? Do they even think about your intentions? Do you get what you probably expected them to do? To you they may be your top priority in life. But how bout them? You may just be a minority to them.

Anyway, back to holidays, I wish everyone happy holidays, for you who're reading this, take care and goodbye.

The Effect of Studying Science...

According to the law of Physics, Work done is given by the equation of

Work done = Power applied x time


I see many people are quite serious about the test next week. Even the likes of Mei Mei will be absent from her blog for "at least 2 weeks or so". Actually, to be honest I feel it's not really an important test. Not for me personally, 'cause I'm not on scholarship anyway. Nonetheless, majority of people in the lecture hall don't carry scholarship. So why izit like everyone so stressed out about it?

I understand some of you are under pressure from family members, especially parents, while some of you wants to do well for your own personal reasons. That's good, but it's not the end of the world if you don't do well. A test is just a TEST, and this is NOT an EXAM. It's 2 different things. "Exam" sounds more scary and important than a "test", don't you think? Exam is the AS paper coming in May next year. And THAT is something you SHOULD worry much, much more about. (And that includes me as well. I AM worried about the AS).
-But not really this test.
I'm fairly confident I can at least pass all the papers except for Maths which probably may not make it, but even IF I fail my Maths, personally it does not have a catastrophic effect.

Back to the equation, how much work had u done? If you started studying a long time ago, that means you have accumulated much more time. Means even if you study(the power you give in) little by little everyday(constant studying), your work done is high.

On the other hand, even if you study at the LAST MINUTE(your time is little), your work done can be equal to the one above. This is provided that you apply a high amount of Power. (Equation: Work done = Power x time)

Conclusion: Last minute studying is NOT ALWAYS bad.

(However, your efficiency may be affected by these 2 methods...)

The Last Routine



What's this?












Tadaa! A flower-shaped highlighter.




Hahah seems like I'm too bored. On the background is Chemistry as you can see. Haha.... test is next week.

Today is the last day of a normal schedule day for semester 1 (and for this year as well). It felt very...empty today. You can feel the nullness in the lecture hall. Mass number of people did not turn up for classes. Of course lah, why wouldn't people stay at home and study. The lecturers had all completed teaching the syllabus anyway.

To be honest, time really blaze past in seconds. I still could remember the very 1st day of college in May, it's still clearly stamped in my mind now. In the first few weeks everyone seemed to be so exited and turned up for each and every single classes. The hall WAS at least 85% full. But, who cares now anyway?

It really seemed like it's yesterday and it's already 6 months since the course started. Half a year left for the crucial AS exam. Sometimes it's hard to believe it, really.

I admit, I WILL miss going to classes somewhere in the middle of the 1 and a half month holidays which will start on 15th of Nov. Because I will NOT be going to any vacations during that time. That's as far as my family are concerned, of course. What am I going to do in the long holidays? I MIGHT be returning to Chili's Grill & Bar in Mid Valley- as a food server/waiter. At about the same time last year, I worked there- but as a kitchen helper/cook.

Anyway, for now I just want to do well for Chemistry & Physics. My highest hope for the subjects are A for the former & B for the latter. GP...probably a B will do fine. Expectations too high? Too ambitious? I would say maybe.


Maths? Pass also very happy already. Happier than IF I got A for Chemistry.

Of Ne-Yo & Jay Chou

Forget about lyrics like "Ho! Grab a bottle and ride wif me, biatch!"


This is Ne-Yo. 1 thing which is so special him is that, every songs of his is all about relationships, all types of problems, guy and gal affections, and basically anything else about love.




His first album, In My Own Words is really quite good. Fell in love with it after just after about twice to thrice listening to it. 4 stars/5.





Second album, Because Of You dropped a little bit I feel. But still kinda liked it, but not as good as his 1st album. 3/5.






The latest album, the third one, is Year of the Gentleman.

Personally, it's the best album to me. 4.5/5. The title of the album might give you an impression that Ne-Yo is praising himself and being proud, but actually it's the opposite. In this album, he emphasizes on the strength of woman and he respects them alot. The song "Miss Independent" as you hear in the radio tells you that. He even realise his guiltiness in the song "Why Does She Stay" and he specially dedicates the song "Single" to all the single woman listening to that song as it plays.

That's what I like about him. He respects woman, his lyrics are beautiful and meaningful, and I admire that.

Anwyay I don't think anyone would REALLY care about this review anyway...


Talk about albums, Jay Chou's "Capricorn" is so-so only I feel. I like the tracks
2. "Give Me A Song's Time (Gěi Wǒ Yì Shǒu Gē De Shí Jiān)",
6. "Where Is The Promised Happiness (Shuō Hăo De Xìng Fú Ne)", &
9. "Time Machine (Shí Guāng Jī)"
the most. Personally I feel track 6 is the best in this album. It's somewhat similar to the song "Dandelion's Promise (Pú Gōng Yīng De Yuē Dìng)" taken from his previous "On The Run" album. Other than that, tracks 1, 4, 7 & 11 are not bad as well.

(I'm a fan of Jay as well, if you don't know. I don't listen to Chinese songs, except for him. When I listen to Chinese songs, I only listen to his songs.)

Personally to me, few of his all time favourite songs are "Heart's Rain (Xīn Yǔ)" from "Still Fantasy", "Blue And White Porcelain (Qīng Huā Cí)", and "I'm Not Worthy (Wǒ Bú Pèi)", both from "On The Run".

Gotta say, although most of the time I don't understand what he's singing, but the reason I like him is about the same as his fans, which is I feel he's very emotional when it comes to his low tempo songs, his music integrated perfectly with his voice, and he has a humble personality in real life.



Anyway, that's all about my review of these 2 artists. I'm off.

"Producks"

If you ever noticed, there's alot of local product's brand names that sounds so spoofing to the famous, giant brands.

For example, in the hypermarket, we got Cream-O that looks alot like Oreo based on their packaging and also the look of the cookie itself.






There's also ChipsPlus & ChipsMore.



There's also Asadi that sounds alot like Adidas, which to add the "unoriginality" of that, if you compare these 2 logos by the respect of their fonts,




It gives me an impression that these products are trying to be as successful as those well-known brands. But I feel that's not the right way cuz it sound n look so....unoriginal.

But lastly, I noticed this.



Straight away we know it rhymes with Oral-B, but I feel it sounds kinda weird...


Anyway, this post are just thought from random and there's nothing much to emphasize on them. Just touch n go. And this post may be lame, I know. And it's actually a waaay back post...back to a few weeks ago cuz I don't have enough resources to post them.

Goodbye.
