Professionalisme

There’s a
Japanese proverb that say “Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a
great teacher.” I found to be very true…there are some the lecturers who
you can see to be very professional, they are so amazing! So inspiring, so
admirable…one day, I’m gonna be like them.

Talk about
professionalism, it reminds me of the
guy at the India street, he’s always there, near the bus station, selling
newspaper, he’s always there, ever since I’m in my first year, which is
mid-2006. I never know his name, rather I never ask…maybe one day I’ll ask
him. He’s professional in his on way, he is very knowledgeable in what he do.
He’s just a simple man, but he inspires me.

Of Circus and Perfect Symmetry

I know a lot of my friends and acquaintances loooves Britney, and they are very excited with her new comeback. Me? I used to "loved" Britney, it's the time when I'm dying to blend in with people.
Anyway, I'm very curious about her new album, so I give a go. I really love the Circus music video. Surprisingly, the song damn boring without the music video.
The album as a whole is disappointing. There is no flow in the album, it's felt like listening to compilation instead.
Or maybe it is just my weird taste in music.

Move to Keane. I love this band since their first album, they never fail to amazed me.

As a whole, this album is great! A great flow from one song to the other. Good variation, good singing, good music, good lyric and great feelings.

Listening to the album make me noticed how much the band has mature. It's a big departure from the Hopes and Fears. Compared to Under the Iron Sea, it is more relaxed.

Song to song review.

1. Spiralling - Wow! This is very different from the previous album, the song is so glamorous, so pop, yet unique. 5/5

2. Lovers Are Losing - This song still have the same feeling with the Hopes and Fears album, as always, the lyric is awesome. I hate to give this song 4/5

3. Better Than This - Yet another awesome song. It is quite different from the previous album, especially in the music. Tom also sing cutely here *Pepper, cutely?*.4/5

4. You Haven't Told Me Anything - OMG! I heart this song, I'm not sure if it's a guitar or another awesome keyboard manipulation by Rice-Oxley. I think it's a guitar. 5/5

5. Perfect Symmetry - I love Tom singing here. again, the awesome lyric touched me deep within me...maybe you'll felt it too... 5/5

6. You Don't See Me - The song have this beautiful dreamy quality that I love. It's a relaxing music. This is the kind of music that I would listen before I go to sleep or need to relax. I wish I'm the you in this song. So beloved and all. But I promised I'll see me. 4/5

7. Again & Again - The song is catchy and very nice to listen. I love the fact that Keane never fail to write meaningful lyric for their songs. 5/5

8. Playing Along - This particular song captures the feeling I have regarding this world. Sometimes, I just don't want to think about it, I just want to shut myself away from all the nonsense. 5/5

9. Pretend That You're Alone - This songs in a way talks about the possibility of living without attachment, to law, to love, to anyone. "We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees, We are blisters on the earth,We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds in the meadow" Hmm, we're no monkey, but yes, we're blister to the Earth. 4/5

10. Black Burning Heart - Listening the song make me feel as if I'm listening to bonus song form Hopes and Fears. 3/5

11. Love is the End - The song, compared to the first few songs in this album, is very slow. Slow in a good way, it a break-up song. You'll be crying listening to this if you happened to just break-up. It's a song about accepting the end of a relationship, it's in someway soothing. 5/5

Unofficial Video- Depeche Mode's John the Revelator

I always have special place for Depeche Mode in my heart. I started with Enjoy the Silence. After that, I scoured the net for any of their songs and video (by that time, youtube is still youtube. Not much video and all).

Different POV

Another post from my old blog, a weak attempt to write poem. Nostalgic nevertheless

this is what happen when i try to see things from a guy point of view….
her pitiful eyes set on mine,
with only that,
guilty sets in,
i’m not the one to blame,
but why?
that weak hands,
reaching mine,
wanting me to give it all,
but,
i got nothing…
sorry

Dis iz mai room!
