My Wishlist

End of the 1st week and it was quite good. The modules are more complex than stage A as it has more to do with programming electronics and theory.

The CRS was fun as we can debate at the end of the semester on controversial topics that is happening around us.

My birthday is coming soon and there are 2 things i wanna have: A new Sennheiser HD438 headphone and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which is the most anticipated 1st-person shooter game.

My GEM is quite okay as i studied POA fundementals which is easy as i have the background back in the secondary school days.

Kingdom Come

Review:

This was Jay-Z's comeback album after releasing The Black Album in 2003. It was highly anticipated by fans and it became as Jigga's highest selling album in the opening week.

However, it was a disappointment comeback as the album felt rushed and the joints placed disorderly. Jigga's rapping skills are always on the "A" game but the beats were very weak.

Although much of the album was produced by Just Blaze, Kanye West and The Neptunes. They did not bring their best form in making this a good record. The only highlight moment for Jay-Z was songs produced by Dr.Dre.

My only favourite track was Lost One ( Produced by Dr.Dre) which blended in piano loop and heavy atmospheric beats.

Overall, this album was a wasted effort.

Rating: 2.5/5

School Up

Next week will be the beginning of Sem 2 calender. I am so gonna miss my long hours sleep as my timetable starts at 8 am and 9am on alternate days.


My driving test is coming in a month's time. I have to make sure that i work damn hard to clear the test in one shot. It's over 6 months of hard work and i must not let it come to naught.


I also cannot wait for the holiday trip to Yunnan, China where many breathtaking sceneries awaiting to paint my memory lane.

I am addicted to Reasonable Doubt and must bump the album everyday. The album has soared to my top 5 greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Nobel Peace Obama

Many have raised their eyebrows regarding US president Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is definitely an extraordinary achievement.

I feel that it put even more pressure on expectations for him now that he accepted the prize. He indeed have achieve things that people have thought impossible. But overly high expectations can be dangerous too.

Some critics feel that a president who is engaged in 2 wars in the Mideast is not eligible for this prize. We must not forget he was one of those who angrily opposed the wars during his senate stint few years ago. He is just doing his best on "damage control" during his 1st term in office.

He may have notable achievements in foreign affairs, but people are getting impatient with him on domestic issues. They have to realize that it is very difficult to run a superpower country like United States. Economic recovery will take some time and patience is needed.

This award shows that he has achieved what many people thought will be impossible.

The Pursuit of Happyness

It starts off as an ordinary man working as a salesman running around the city if San Francisco selling the scanner to pay rent & daycare. However, he was turned down by every doctor he met.

A letter from the IRS stated that they confiscated a significant amount of money for not paying taxes.

Now with no money, the father & son were evicted and slept inside a Metro station. They managed to find some shelter in a church which takes in homeless people on a daily basis but must leave on the next day. Day by day, they struggled to be in time for the booking in session.

On the last day of his internship, he signed many accounts that eventually landed him a job in the stockbroking company and the light of the future is bright for both father and son. The emotional Chris ran to his son's daycare and hugged him tightly as he is assured of a good and better life.


This movie is definitely a must-watch. i consider this to be Will Smith's most touching movie.

Rating; 5/5

Ethan 21

Last night we celebrated my cousin Ethan's birthday at Home Team NS adventure Centre at bukit batok.

Many people were there as we sat around the chalet and chat as we had not met each other for a long time. I sipped Vodka mixed with lime juice and Chivas Regal Whiskey 18 mixed with lime juice.

I like the taste of Whiskey as it leaves an icy feeling in my throat.

Into the night, my Uncle Kok begun to feel tipsy and started rambling about his work woes as a taxi driver. He rambled explicitly that how arrogant youths today see taxi drivers in their eyes.

Good that he can let his troubles of being scolded by taxi customers at the chalet rather than sealing them up.

We left at around 9.45pm for home.

Ethan Birthday boy

He is so gonna get drunk today as my Uncle Ming will be bringing tons of hard liquor for him. My Uncle Ming is a hard-liquor fiend and it is gonna be interesting this evening.


I will update the happenings by this upcoming week.

Revival of The Prancing Horse?

Its spreading like wildfire.

Fernando Alonso has joined Ferrari for 3 years beginning in 2010. Ferrari's performance this season is disappointing as they always dominated the poles.

Could Alonso's joining of Ferrari's revive the prancing horse fire? It very well could, because he is one of the most skillful drivers in Formula One today.

Kimi Raikkonen will be joining Mclaren alongside Lewis Hamilton and this also could be his chance of getting to top dog position as he did in 2007.
