Choked up

I have finished 2 papers of my 4 modules. So far, Maths is my most confident module. But for physics and EID, these are my greatest worries. I cannot understand even the slightest thing my physics lecturer( lectures lessons) is teaching.

There are many things on my mind right now. Been looking out for new LG or Sony Ericsson phones as i am nearing the end of my contract in September. I am quite interested in the LG Secret which incorporate touchscreen technology.

Sony Ericsson made not much changes to their functions and features.

I am glad with a pass in all my modules as i do not have high expectations for my engineering course.

I've been wanting to meet up my secondary school friends to do some real catching up, y'all know who you are.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Review:

Finally after 2 years of waiting, Transformers 2 has stormed the silverscreen again. I went to GV Tampines today and many tickets are snapped up and i can see the that the show is the most anticipated in the summer.

There are more robots interactions & emphasis for this show. The graphics and sound effects definitely will let you hold on to your seat. The plot is just "ok" in my view as it was quite confusing with new characters spawning out of nowhere during the 2 hr 30 mins show.

However, there are many heart-thumping moments which generate excitement and a little bit of comedic relief that can make you laugh your heart out.

In the end, i can say this is the best show of the year and there are mentions of a sequel in the near future.

New Era

There you have it. Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to Real Madrid for a world record-breaking of 80 million pounds. At first, i thought that Manchester United was giving away their golden goose.

6 years ago, nobody knew who Ronaldo was until he joined Manchester United. That was the time where he began to spread his wings and become one of the best players in the world today.

However, i do not think that Manchester United will be suffering a huge loss as they have a very big squad and there are links that Manchester United is interested in Wigan's Antonio Valencia as a replacement for Ronaldo.

Whoever new players they signed, i am sure Manchester Untied will remain at the peak on the next season.

Relapse

Review:

This is the 1st album from Eminem since Encore and his musical hiatus. The album is a resurrection of his evil and insane alter-ego: Slim Shady.

20 tracks in total of which are produced entirely by Dr.Dre. It begins with Slim Shady turning into a serial killer and murders anyone he hates. Much of the album are reflective and Eminem returning to his old days poking fun at Hollywood stars and his mother.

The most emotional track is Beautiful where he talks about where his life had descended and how he recovers from the recent setbacks. The best track in the album in my mind.

The album songs feels like being recycled with hate raps and funny tones. However, a good way to return to the music world.

Break At Last....

Finally SP three week holidays has started. I can rest my mind for a while and settle my modules slowly to gain a better understanding.

However, the term break is meant for us to catch up with our work. On Monday, DCEG students year 2 students are required to attend a compulsory field trip at Science Centre.

I am going to use this 3 weeks to improve my modules as well as my driving skills.

I realized what is the real world for the engineers recently. The CTA module is a very good example. The tutorial lecturer wants us to refer to resources to obtain our answers. Engineers are to find out their own answers and solve it themselves.

This CTA module is the one who is giving me the headaches and i sure hope not to repeat this module ever....

I shall stop here. Check back for updates.

The Dynasty: Roc La Familia

Review:

This was actually a compilation album to introduce artists from Jay-Z's record label. It was marketed as a Jay-Z album in order to gain more attention.

Jay-Z decided to feature up and coming producers like Kanye West, The Neptunes and Just Blaze which would eventually become prominent producers in the mainstream today.

As Kanye West & Just Blaze are well-known for their soulful sampling skills, thus the album has a smooth and sample reliant sound. Jay-Z on the other hand was almost like a guest inside as the rappers took centre stage.


Track Picks:
  • Guilty Until Proven Innocent
  • Get Your Mind Right Mami
  • This Can't Be Life

Rating: 3.5/5
