I tell you!

Been a pretty busy week preparing for a Maths test. However, my efforts were pretty much in vain as the test was friggin' easy! The only hard part of the test was making sure that I wasn't caught when I was passing my paper around to others for them to copy my answers. Even though I didn't get caught that day, I'm still pretty worried that the teacher might be suspicious as almost all of the people that sat within my proximity will have the same answers and steps as me. But I don't really care anymore, since the teacher's a mega @$$-hole. After the test we had, some of my fellow classmates told me that there was a problem with the question and the teacher only told those who asked him about it. I was like "WTF?! Wasn't he supposed to announce it to the class?" And the people around me who copied my answers didn't even bother to tell me about the mistake. So the conclusion I had was, that I studied for few nights, just to help others get higher marks and eventually I would be the one with the lowest marks since they took my answers for the ones they didn't know and kept the ones they knew to themselves.

However, when I was studying for the test, it gave me a lot of time to really listen to some new albums added to my collection of music. The album that I listened to first was Jay's new album, 魔杰座 (Capricorn) and I have to say, that imho it wasn't as nice as the previous album and definitely nowhere near the albums during the start of his career. Though there are quite a number of listen-able songs in this album, there aren't many songs that you will call classiscs in a few years time. Well, I guess a lot of people, especially girls, would disagree with my opinions about Jay (maybe because they are blinded), but I think that Jay's music is like recycled paper - you get the same thing, but with lower quality.
Sipeh Sien, I tell you!

The second album that I managed to get my hands on was Taylor Swift's self titled album. I think that it's a really really nice album and I highly recommended it if you're okay with country music. I find country music pretty refreshing not to mention relaxing, listening to different kinds of instruments like banjos and violins. And there's just something about Taylor Swift's voice when she sings a love song, Sipeh emo, I tell you!


Last but not least, the album from my favourite chinese band, Mayday's Poetry of the Day After (五月天- 後。青春期的詩). Though it's not the most listener-friendly album of theirs, but it's definitely a good one if you're into Mayday's style of music. Why isn't it listener-friendly, you might ask. Well, it might need some time to get used to as this album has a pretty unique style. But after a few listens, it gets highly addictive, almost as if you're in "the zone". Many people might not understand why I'm so supportive of Mayday, but I feel that Mayday is what music is all about. They don't just make plain music which you just listen to, they express themselves, be it ideas, hopes, dreams or feelings. When you listen to their music, don't just listen, interpret. Most songs have really meaningful messages in them and that's what makes their music really able to touch people's heart. For example, there's a song called 如煙 in the new album, it didn't seem like much the first time I listened to it. But when I interpreted the meaning of the song, it just BLEW ME AWAY! I won't even call it lyrics, it's poetry in motion! I wonder how Ashin writes the lyrics, it really puts my poem in the last post to shame, sheer brilliance! You all have to listen to it. Sipeh Jeng, I tell you!

有沒有那麼一張書籤　停止那一天　
最單純的笑臉和　最美那一年
書包裡面裝滿了蛋糕和汽水
　雙眼只有無猜和無邪　讓我們無法無天 - 五月天

Our youth doesn't last forever, so cherish it. 'Cause before you know it, it'll be over, and it'll be too late to regret not making the most out of our most valuable treasure, which is life. ( No quotes here, this is from me. LOL!) So why are you still in front of the computer? Go out and live your life!

Went to Damansara with Weetat, Derrick and Hoe for lunch with Edward just now. Our trip to Damansara only lasted 2 hours, but it was a nightmare. We went for an overpriced lunch, then went back to Edward's condo, only to find that our car got clamped. Seems that you not only have to park at the visitor's parking, you also have to follow the numbers at the parking spots. WTF!? And the guard didn't bother to tell us that?! Then need to pay RM50 to unclamp it, even though it's their mistake. WTF!? It's like getting beaten by gangsters and you have to pay them. Sipeh Suei, I tell you!
