On the road...

Anyone who likes or at least appreciate folk/folk rock/acoustic, be sure to catch Seth Lakeman. Even though Seth and his band isn't big here, but he's an upcoming star in the UK. Do go check him out.

OK guys, don't underestimate folk music! It's not that bad, you'd know. ;)

The latest album...

Another singer to look out for is David Habbin. A classical/pop-operatic vocalist who's in the first opera-band, Amici Forever. Though this band isn't active at the moment. But currently, David is going solo, and hopefully his first solo album will be out soon.

I'm also a big fan of singers like Enya, Josh Groban, Il Divo, Enigma and many others more yet to be discovered. And recently, I'm begining to enjoy Celtic too. Though, I don't really know any famous artists in particular, but their voices are absolutely enlightening. ;)

Alright, I think that's all for today.

Over-n-out.

The Nanny

I think it's rather reasonable that I blog about this too. Recently, thanks to my brother, I'm totally hooked watching The Nanny. Though, I'm never a fan in watching comedies and I'll always find a reason to change the channel whenever I can. Besides the fact that I used to watch 30 Rock whenever I could. Tina Fey is a master in her line of work.
Back to the point, somehow this sitcom in particular( or rather the only one!), is one that I couldn't resist. I suppose because the humour and the plot is just so enticing. The idea that Fran Drescher had cooked up with was absolutely brilliant! Nevertheless, it did make a big hit when it was showing. 6 Seasons - 6 years of showing! Call me outdated, but it's one show you cannot miss watching without an outburst of laughter and without feeling stupid about it.

Then...

...and Now (sorta)

Don't Pay Me Back...Pay It Foward

I think it's an absolutely great concept. I don't really know who or where it originated from. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read, Benjamin Franklin was the one who introduced this idea. Anyways, it doesn't really matter. But as for those who does not know what it's all about, let me wrap it up in a nut shell for you.
Just say, if one day I've done a favour for you, instead of paying me back when you insist, you pay it back to another person who's in need of that help. Don't worry, there isn't any rules to this. All you need to do is to pay it forward in any forms you are capable of doing to anyone you want. Remember: It doesn't always have to be in forms of money.

In year 2000, this amazing concept has been made into movement. Based also on a book by Catherine Ryan Hyde, Pay It Forward. Most of you might have even watched the movie version also named Pay It Forward starred by Kevin Spacey, Haley Joel Osment and Helen Hunt. I greatly recommend this movie too. Very touching indeed.

Again, I believe it's a very good movement. And I greatly encourage anyone who knows about this will continue this good deed. As for me, I shall be doing my part too.

Joke: Bruce/Bruise

The other day, during dinner I happened to ask my dad about his friend, Bruce and what he does for a living. Then my brother asked my dad:

Bro: (with a confused look) Dad, how many Bruce(s) do you know?

Dad: (putting down his fork) I know two.
One who is an entomologist, I just told Kar,
and the other one is here (pointing at his elbow).
I knew him when I was riding my bike and fell into the drain.

Me: (bursting out with laughter)

Bro: (gave his typical annoying look)



hehe...

I hope whoever is reading this get the joke. LOL.

Turning points

Life after SPM is sure great fun. But of course there are other challenges waiting impatiently ahead of ME. Now hearing what's happening to the economy recessions, it makes me think that life isn't easy at all. (Who says life easy anyway?) I have to admit, that I've not seen the real world yet or in other words, experiencing them. If you ask me to, I really cant tell or imagine how it's like out there. It's like I'm living in a some sort of strong-surfaced bubble. You can SEE, but you can't touch.


Last Sunday, my family and I attended an edu-fair at PWTC. Went there by train. I actually enjoy sitting on the train! Not that the train was comfy or anything but somehow, I felt "happy" when I saw people (in general) around me, though all strangers. I'm not sure whether happy is the right word to use but I was enjoying myself. They are of course People/Humans just like you and me.
It made me realize that there is so many things outside there to see. What have I been doing for these past 5 years? Again, living in the Bubble.

Education is big business. There were so many colleges and universities offering countless courses. I came back with 3 bags of pamphlets! LOL.
It was after an hour hearing to one of the lecturers speaking to us, we've come to conclude that I am not going to form 6. So far, I think. I'll stick to this plan and I might be taking A-levels after all. Decision making is the hardest!

I have to thank Ling Shin for informing me about the fair. Really. If not it will never have open our minds, my dad's opinion especially. And I cant help it that I've still got a prejudice against learning in BM.


Oh ya, I've decided to take up French. Since I like the way the words are pronounced. With the nasal accent! LOL.


Note: This information is only valid at the point of time in writing this blog. B'cause I'm allowed to change my decisions! ;)

Decisions

Gosh, this is so difficult! Choosing what course to do next when you don't even know what you want to do.

Even though my options are still between A-levels and STPM. It doesn't help the fact that my dad has a prejudice against Taylors while I have a prejudice against learning my subjects in BM. If I am to do STPM, I'd wanna take Geography, Economics and maybe Maths. But if I would to do A-levels, Sociology would be the main subject that I'd wanna take, followed by Economics and Maths (if I have to). Since, that I know what subjects I wanna take, the other questions is WHERE??

I know now we've got soo many options out there to choose compared to the previous years, but the catch is whether they have what you want. And this is the part where you have the dilemma. Damn... So much choices it seems...

I'm still on the decision of taking geography for my degree. Dont ask me what I'm gonna do with it. But all I know is that it offers a very broad road for me. I'm still considering Sociology, Environmental Science, Journalism, and Economics(?) for a degree. All these offers a wide choices of career in the future. So for now I'm not that worried what career I'll end up be doing yet.

Coming back to my big question. WHERE??
Any of you reading this and might have an opinion or two about it, please do write your comment(s) about it in the comment box. All ideas are welcomed.



By the way, I'm planning to learn another language. Spanish or French??
Another problem of deciding which again.

Somehow, it takes me quite a while to decide on some things. Like the other day, I went out with my mum to buy some clothes and lingeries, it took me like two hours just to pick one clothing! And of course my mum was very impatient already.

So, anyways people, please give a suggestion! French or Spanish??
