The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse

Review:

This was the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed The Blueprint. The lion's share of the album was produced by Kanye West & Just Blaze.

There was generally no concept in view of this album and was split into 2 discs, Gift & Curse.

The gift part consists of upbeat & radio-friendly tracks while the Curse part consists of heavier songs. The album has tremendous amount of guests compared to just one on The Blueprint.

The tracks feels "typical" though there are several highlights on the album. 03' Bonnie & Clyde featuring Beyonce which was produced by Kanye West embodies a smooth R&B infused sound which became one of Jay-Z's most successful singles on the charts.

Rating: 3/5

High Stakes

Whoo hoo!!! I passed my FTT in my second take just now at the CDC.

I took the last time slot at 8pm and i heard from my friend that night tests are easier as the staff wanna get things done over with. I think it is quite true as the last FTT was more difficult than this time round.

I am ready to book my circuit training and practical test date( 3 months from now). When the date draws nearer, i would have to book more lessons slots to ensure that i have the quality of skill during my test day.

As for next Tuesday, it is gonna be a big day for me as i have a presentation on Analysis of Clean energy which percentage is 50%. This will determine whether i pass or fail this module....

So the stakes are high for next week. Be prepared.

Day off

I woke up feeling chilly on Sunday around the wee hours. I realized i was having a fever when i took my temperature.

I visited the doctor and had a MC to cover me today. Luckily for today is just tutorial lessons and not lectures. I have to rush through my CTA report with my group members when i return to school tomorrow as Wednesday is the official deadline for submission.

As for the soccer news. Every Manchester Untied haters out there beware, Michael Owen's predatory instincts have returned and is on the hunt for the 4th Premier League title this upcoming 09/10 season( watch out Liverpool).

So what if David Beckham tips Chelsea to be winners of the title next season? It is too early to tell who will win. Although Manchester United has lost 2 world-class players( Tevez & Ronaldo). I am confident that Manchester United will still be the best team in the EPL.

That's all folks.

Gear up...

It's been a while since i updated.

Just started the 12th week of my term 2 calender. I have gotten back my Maths & CTA results & Maths will probably be my saving grace out of my 5 modules as this is my best points scored. I don't wanna talk about CTA as i was "this" close to passing it.

Now more projects & PBILs are flowing in and there is just so much to do and revise throughout the remaining semester 1.

Besides all that, i am taking FTT in 2 weeks time & i cannot fail again otherwise my PT will have to be delayed by a month.

I have finally mastered my driving skills and all that is left is the parking( parallel & perpendicular). I sure hope to obtain my QDL this year.

That's all folks.

One Step Back

Finally my MST was over!

This allowed me to have some breathing space and take a step back to relax. Out of the 4 modules, Maths is probably the subject i am most confident on and physics the least.

Right after the last paper, my clique went to Cathay Cineleisure to catch Transformers 2( My second show). Before the show, i went to HMV and reserve a classic hip-hop album called Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... & they are having a summer sale with 30% to 60% discount rates.

I thought of buying albums online but scams are everywhere on the internet as i know it. So i stick to the traditional way.

That's all for now.
