Eminence Symphony



Just another part of my youtube playlist while I study :).
This time, it's by an orchestra group known as Eminence Symphony. Amazing works!!!
I think I should attend one of those game/anime music symphonies that they used to have in Melbourne. I think it was called "A night in Fantasia" or something... I wonder if it's by them too....

What is this so called word "Exams"?

Coming from a multimedia background where all my assessments are done through projects and attendance. I've completely forgotten how I used to study...

It's an odd feeling, somewhat nostalgic, and a little bit of de ja vu. I haven't done "studying" and "exams" for the past 4 years. I dislike studying in a quiet environment where it's only me and my book/papers/readings/notes .... it's kinda boring and counter-productive I must say.... It is a learning style of mine, I need a mini-distraction of somesort to be able to pay attention. The word for this (surprisingly there is one as well) is "haptic learners" hehe.

Thank goodness for youtube and this:



There are plenty of these out there on le youtube for anyone who wants some soothing relaxing working/focus/relaxation music. If I remember correctly, I even came across a studio Ghibli one lol. Gotta give that a shot later :P.

Here's the link to the first video of the playlist. There's about 50 of them in the list, and each goes on for a good 1 hour + or so:

Anyways.
がんばれ!

Going Facebook Free for a month

Today, I came across a post that was made by my friend in regards to the "like" button on Facebook.
And got me thinking about what my other friend had mentioned about illusion that Facebook has given to viewers. The majority of the contents you see on Facebook are stuffs and memories of other people's happy moments, everything you see is off a positive aura, when someone is enjoying a nice delicious meal, or someone is having a great time during their holiday, someone enjoying their new bought items or toys etc. Being someone who's fixing their own self-esteem (yes that's me...), it's hard to tell myself that everything on Facebook are just other people's happy moments, it only makes me think "I wish my life could be like that"....

Since it's the beginning of June, I think it'll be a good starting date to try a Facebook Free month, I'd like to see the effects of not using Facebook for a month. How will it change my behaviour towards my self esteem, will I still be able to recall old-school social connection methods (mail, email, phone calls, visiting etc). I'm still not ready to deactivate Facebook, because it contains some important social connections to friends whom I thought I would never see again. But by shutting down, would that mean I would lose all source of connections with them? Will my overseas friends still remember me when I shut off my Facebook account? What do you guys think? Will your friends still remember you if you were to shut down your Facebook account? And how will you still remain in contact with them given that they are thousands of miles away from you?

I know I'm going to be missing out some events, or missing out other people's birthday, perhaps even missing out on other people's celebration on something that they've achieved, I do apologize for that. But like my friend who made a post about the 'like' page:

Modern times : even if you have been supporting or helping out whatever a person has been doing, it all doesn't mean anything. As long as you didn't click on that one miserable little 'LIKE' button, you don't like or care about it. 

So remember to click on it because if it's not recorded in Facebook, whatever you have said or done never existed.


It's another interesting thing to be thinking about. How would you feel if someone doesn't respond to your post about what you have done? What IS the main purpose of posting a status update? No, really, why are you posting status updates? Our society has evolved into a new form of socialization, where we are dependant on social media services to keep ourselves in contact with those that we love and care, as many people would argue that "It makes keeping in contact with others easier." But I feel that friendship values diminishes, since it only takes a 'like' button to show that you care, your friendship value equals to the amount of effort that a person takes to click on a like button.

I know I might sound like a hypocrite, since I use Facebook like that as well. But that is why I'm going to try a Facebook Free month, to see if I'm still able to keep in contact with friends without the use of social media services.. I'm still unsure on how I should describe the illusions of Facebook that it has on me, since there's so much shit going through my head, but yeah... I really wonder if the results are going to be obvious, or will nothing change at all?

Facebook, see you in a month.
Or maybe never at all.

Aly and Filla | Tricia McTeague - Speed of Sound

When you combine an awesome ambient trance track with a PRO700MK2. Oh man.... head nods and goose bumps!



I'm sorry if I keep posting music stuffs. I just love music xD! Especially trance!

Anyways, just a random news as well. The one thing I like about this Computer Science course that I'm doing at the moment is that, an assignment can literally be completed within a day! Hahahahaha, but if it wasn't because of the help of my class mates and our good friend "Google", it'd probably take a bit longer....

But that's only 1/4 of the assignments that I have to do. I still have 3 others and I think 2 of them is going to take awhile due to it's length .... Keep on Fighting Jordan! Wohooo!

The movie Oblivion, is a pretty awesome movie to watch.
Though I won't say much about it, as I might spill some spoilers out.
But I do recommend it :)! Please go and watch it xD!

Oh, and the soundtrack is amazing as well. It makes you feel like you're in that world.

Cheaters will never win

Today is an epic day. Not only is my group assignment due and it was submitted just 26 seconds before submission deadline, but it's also Malaysia's Election day. And I must say, both of them are very epic.

For all my life I thought Malaysia will never change, especially with their cheating government who rigs all votes and live off the money that were meant to keep the nation alive and well. The people are too weak to do anything and every little action is eradicated by the government.

But today marks the day that Malaysia will finally have a change. Once the current government is being kicked off the board, shall the new Malaysia begin. Wawasan 2020 might even come true for real. I really can't wait to see what new changes will Malaysia have. And to be honest, I can finally be proud of being a Malaysian. The people of Malaysia have proved that "Cheates will never win". Deporting 600,000 Bangladesh people to Malaysia for 'Ghost voting', cutting off electricity at places that are assigned for vote submission, claiming that vote tickets weren't given a serial code that the first morning batch of votes are not counted. Heck even claiming that there aren't any pencils in the voting booth. Fucking cheating cunts, you know you will never win. It's the end for you and your slimy little bitches to get off the chair and let someone who knows how to lead Malaysia up on the seat.

Thus

"Cheaters will NEVER win" - Malaysia

Peace V(^0^)V!

Mini art gallery


I've just finished framing 3 beauties with the frames that I bought on Sunday from Ikea (They were only 5 bucks! How awesome is that?!), and it's really nice to finally be able to see them instead of hiding them cuz I don't really know how to display them properly... I've kept Stanley Lau (Artgerm)'s artwork in the dark for what..... 5 years ....whoop-dee-doo.....

Weird thing is... why didn't I think of this before. Framing sure brings out the art more than just sticking the print onto the wall.

However... Ikea's frames all came in odd sizes that didn't fit the prints, so I had to create them white mask (? It's the white cardboard borders around the picture)... and that process took awhile.... I sure hope 4 hours of sleep is enough, and that I can wake up early in the morning as well... Cuz I've got shits to do D:!
