I am Lazy

I just pass a very tiring day, don't study at all, haven't finished any assignments, while quizzes are coming, but I feel very satisfied today. I learn something I will never forget for the whole of my life, and much more precious (in my opinion) than if I studying today, even for the whole day continuously without taking a break.

In a society, or a group, or a team, there are three kinds of lazy person, who does not want to be involved in there. The first type is, the most one I ever met, and I myself was ever one of them, the person who comes to the field, say hello to everyone, try to do any easiest jobs as much as he wants, then go away as soon as possible, as he already contributes something and has a reason why he can leave.

The second type is, not as smart as the first, although smart in terms of bad side, I also often met, and I was sometimes one of them, the person who finds as many reasons as he can for not coming to the field, and can freely do his own business which is more important for him.

And I try to avoid being one of these 2 types, except I really really have to, no other choices. When one time, I become the one who handle many things, I realize, how cheap they are, then I think again, when I am like that, the other people may think the same about me, and I do not want to be such a cheap person. Even I'm not as smart as the others, at least, I have to be something in their eyes, because I'm a person. Different if I were an animal, then I would never care what the others view who I am.

The last one, is the type I really seldom find, and I personally think, maybe the worst, a person who does come to the field, gather with the others, listen and watch everything the others do, and, and, and, and that's all, just it. Even the war comes, then all persons die, maybe he will still be there, watching, or hide somewhere. I'm like that when I was so young, but then I think, imagine, how if I'm in the position of the others, struggling not to be killed, whereas one of your friends keep watching, how you will be killed, or how you will win, or do not care, just want to watch the ending of this drama.

Then, finally, rather than being a religious person, who came every week for praying (eh absolutely I cannot skip this session :D ), keep contributing my money for the others, be a vegetarian, or be the one who can pass religious message to everyone, I better choose to be better as a human first, be better in everything, as a student, as a child, as a brother, as a friend, as everything I am, cause I have to thank GOD first, for being born as a human, who has brain and heart. Why? Simply because, I often meet those kinds of people (err, ya, a quite small number actually), who are very close (according to them) to GOD, but, not less cheap even than the one who never knows what praying is.

LOVE and HATE it

I'm confusing of nothing right now, but I am always confused when thinking about this one subject. It's a very tiring subject, stealing most my time for it, sometimes i like it, but there's certain period makes me hate it so much. I want to go further with this subject one time, but sometimes it makes me want to run away far far from it.

Firstly, about first, very first impression. From the very first impression, of course most will dislike this subject, has projects in it, while there is still labs in it, etc etc. In the first lecture, I came alone, without my friends, because I came from room, not from another classes, because it was still first week, and surprisingly still no student came down, whereas it's 10 minutes before class started. I came in, and not long after that the lecturer came in, asked my name, and chatted for a very short time. Then another students finally arrived, lectures went on, and the other 1 person came. Well, let's see what the technician, or whoever she is, want to say, but, what the heck, she is lecturer, then, then why she was dressing in such errr, dont know how to describe it.

Still First First First, now first tutorial, ok, everyone has to contribute (less than 10 students per class), have to do the questions, whatever happens. Then getting tougher, first or second lecture, we are asked to buy (and read of course) the textbooks (not 1, but 2!!), and it is really really advisable (or almost compulsary). Then came the first lab, and I think it's gonna tougher, moreover, my friend directly chose me to become the group leader, err, I'm going to be angry. Quickly came the first meeting, and we keep debating, why? because the question in lab report is not so clear, ok, i have my own assumptions, they have their own. Then? Right, I'm dying, debating took most my energies, whereas some other members just 'watching' the 'horror movies'. Before going on, just want to take note first that this still goes on, until NOW!!

About the lecture notes, they are always posted out a few hours or minutes before, oh hell, what are you doing the whole time?? But on the other hand, I love the way that lecturer gave his/her ideas, presented the lessons, etc etc. But again, the tutorial (to be done by GROUP) was always posted 1 or 2 days before. I ALWAYS have to hurry so much before and after I went to temple on Sunday. It's fine at first, it's still my job, as a student, nothing to complain about. I have to use my time for studying, that's all. Hey2, suddenly my group mates simply (or fooly) ask, do you need my help? Or sometimes just pretend as if nothing happens, thinking, oh well, there's tutorial tmrw, then it's fine lhaa, my friends are struggling on it, i'll pray so hard for them. Errr, cant believe it, for 1 semester, and it's my closest friend, hell...

Talking about lab, project, there will always be meetings, and of course, not because as the team leader, but as a member as well, as a student, and as a PERSON (well, i'm alive), I have to give my opinions, and so often, because of the worst worst worst explanation in lab manual, we keep debating, and in meetings, that's all fine, but why, there is other who ALWAYS just sitting, 'watching the war', and numb. Whereas I try to put my ideas, which sometimes I think somehow better than the others, but he/they just watching the drama, although they're in same way of thinking with me. And if he's assigned a job, then came to me, ask, anything, keep asking, dude why not struggling yourself first before keep disturbing me? Become a numb when you should SAY something but disturb me when you should do your job, YOURSELF. Again, I am, speechless, such a close friend, doing such matters.

Apart from those all, stressful things (although I'm not a stressful person), this subject is a huge, important, big one in terms of credits it has. Then the stressful keep going on, while I [really] enjoy studying it but it keep pushing and pushing me. The lecturers give a lot of supports, ideas, excellent (IMO) way of teaching, but sometimes put in a lot of burdens when they're supposed to be helpful. I hope I will soon pass this semester, and all subjects in it. But still, like how I learn a lot from this subject, apart from the knowledge given, I learn that, friend is a forever friend, but when the tasks coming, you still, should be professional. Sigh, sigh, want to push the time to go faster :(

Under My Skin vs Mirotic

Under My Skin is a lead song of Sarah Connor's new album, the single was released on August 1, 2008. Whereas Mirotic is a lead song of DBSK's new album, the single has the same name of the album, was released on September 26, 2008. Both are new songs and becomes the lead single of the album, one from a very popular German female singer and the other from a Korean boyband whose fanbase is throughout the Asia, both become hits, Connor's new album is in top 3 in German while DBSK's new album is likely to be the 2008's best selling album in Korea, but the interesting fact is, both songs are exactly the same song!!

Connor's Under My Skin came out around beginning of August, whereas DBSK's Mirotic about one month later, which then later lead to some controversy, either Connor's fans or DBSK's thought the song was plagiarized by DBSK. Then DBSK's label stated that the band had finished recorded Mirotic around June, earlier than release of Under My Skin. Luckily their label quickly disclosed the that none of the them copying each other. The song's copyright is in fact, according to them, bought half by Connor for European release and other half by DBSK for Asian release.

Then, both are original songs, composed by Danish producers. For me personally, I like the song, and maybe first DBSK's song I like, however, I prefer Connor's version. Although it's the same song (of course different language), but there are some improvements done by both DBSK and Connor, causing the song to be more appealing to their voice and image.

DBSK is a typical boyband singing and dancing at the same time, hence chorus of Mirotic is more for dancing, whereas chorus of Under My Skin is like dance-pop. While Mirotic has a rap part, Under My Skin has a bridge.

I feel that both of them will get more credits as they can make the songs appealing to them, Mirotic then sounds like another typical Korean dance songs, and Under My Skin like typical Western female dance-pop songs, by still keep most part the same.



Don't know why I like listening both songs at the exactly same time. Start together Under My Skin from the beginning and Mirotic from 00:15, then you will see that both songs are firstly starting with the same melody, then the same male voice of 'wo!' (about half second only) and you will listen different languages but the same melodies, then it went different when going into the chorus, and in the end of (every) chorus they will at the same time harmoniously sing "I got you - under my skin".

Then always going together like that every chorus, then in the bridge they are different again, whereas Mirotic has rap rather than bridge, then in the end again that one line will be sung 'together' again. Love that part =D

In the end, Mirotic has one more chorus than Under My Skin, so Under My Skin ends a length of one chorus earlier.











Sarah Connor - Under My Skin

You’re not the type of man to shake my hand like ‘nice to meet you’
you pull me in and then begin to let your body say
that all is possible now i know ohhh

the lights are dim and takes my limits up a million meters
you’re breaking my chains again but nothing remains the same
now i’m hypnotized; I’ve realized ohhh


when we touch i can feel we’ve got a chemistry
can’t get enough
watch out when you stand so close to me
i got you under my skin (x2)

It turns me on when I’m your pupil, you’re my teacher-teacher
get in position; that’s my mission on the floor tonight
i’ve been exercised [or ‘exorcised’?], sensitized ohhh

the way that you perform the clothes are torn right off the Richter
shaking the room again
i’m taming the beast within
and if they ask me why, i can’t deny ohhh

when we touch i can feel we’ve got a chemistry
can’t get enough
watch out when you stand so close to me
i got you under my skin

When we talk i can’t wait to feel your hands on me
and when we rock feels just like the devil’s ridin’ me
i got you under my skin

Over here, boy, i want you … one
i’m been the clear, boy, i want to have some fun
i want u, I want u
i got this feeling and it just won’t stop
it’s getting so hard
come help me take it off
i got you (i want u) under my skin

when we touch i can feel we’ve got a chemistry
can’t get enough
watch out when you stand so close to me
i got you under my skin

When we talk i can’t wait to feel your hands on me
and when we rock feels just like the devil’s ridin’ me
i got you under my skin

when we touch i can feel we’ve got a chemistry
can’t get enough
watch out when you stand so close to me

i got you under my skin
i got you under my skin
i got you under my skin

Childhood Songs

Not like today's songs whose theme is about love and romantic, melodical, or bands' songs, during my childhood music industry for children was about the same with for teenagers-adults, or even larger I guess. Several days ago I got a few songs of that period, which reminded me of my childhood time.

In my primary school time, I think Joshua was one of the booming child singers, his debut was at his 5 or 6, but not sure, I remembered the song was "Obok-Obok", but forgot whether it was his first successful song, there's anothers related to 'bird' or whatever, but I often watched the video at that time haha. Then at the same period came many other young singers, Chikita Meidy, Tina Toon, Melissa, Maissy, Trio Kwek2 of course, Saskia, Geovanni (first artis I ever met face to face and took a photo with hahahaha), Enno Lerian, Agnes Monica, Tasya, Cindy Cenora, then I think Sherina is the 'last' booming child artist-singer, before music industry here switched to adult - teenager - romantic- love love love love love love (repeated million times) - bullsh*t (errrr, i really hope for another new 'switch' pleaseeeeee, boringgggg).

In short, I loved my childhood time so much, waked up every Sunday morning only to watch cartoon till afternoon (and now I realized that I should go to temple instead of cartoon hahaha), playing a quite number of playstation and PC games, and at school, playing 'toss-the-card" or err, dont know what the name, free gifts got from snacks which fooled us hahaha, then if you toss with the others and you win, you get one more from each losers, and related to the blog title, I really really thanked GOD that I was born in a 'short' period where local media really really supported children-entertainment industry. I cannot imagine how if I was born later, maybe I will watch 'sinetron' everyday, listen to and sing "LOVE" song everyday, watch infotainment which ALWAYS show the negative side of every celebrities, I consumed almost the same things as what should be the adults', haha.

Hmm, now I really miss that time, then after listening to this song, I really miss my high-school period as well, because of the lyric, miss all my friends :(

Bila kita dapat memahami
Matahari menemani
Kita dalam kehangatan
Hingga sang rembulan bersenandung

Menina bobokan seisi dunia
Dalam lelap setia
Tanpa terpaksa

Bila kau dapat mengerti
Sahabat adalah setia
Dalam suka dan duka
Kau 'kan dapat berbagi rasa
Untuknya

Begitulah seharusnya
Jalani kehidupan
Setia....setia...setia
Dan tanpa terpaksa

Mengapa bintang bersinar
Mengapa air mengalir
Mengapa dunia berputar

Lihat sgalanya
Lebih dekat
Dan kau akan mengerti

The title of the song is the soundtrack of a movie sung by Sherina, and got very highly popularity at the time released. Now I only have less than 20 of my friends, who always reminds me of others friends anywhere they are now T_T

Very sleepy now, just want to post some photos of the child artists, now already turned to teenagers, some adults :)







always beautiful ^_^











still a bit similar, isn't he? hahaha












her eyes , looks like never change, haha












waa i cannot find alfandi, ever saw him in Ceriwis but dont know why cannot find his photo, T_T











Why is she so different heh? ^^

Womanizer (Song)


Topped Billboard Hot 100 through her debut "...Baby One More Time" 10 years ago, Britney did it again with Womanizer. In addition to the new achievement, the song also set a new record in the chart as having the "highest jump" from position 96 last week to 1 this week (defeat Rihanna's "Live Your Life" who just set the record ONE week before). By this single, she has put one more name in a short list of singers who have top #1 in the chart in both 20th and 21th centuries.

In download sales, Womanizer also set first week sales of 286,000, again, the record as the highest for female artists.

In 48 hours after the release of the music video, Womanizer has been clicked over 7 million times in Youtube, breaking Leona's Lewis "Bleeding Love"' record.

Looking at a number of records set, what do you personally think about the single? Judge yourself!! (Sorry I'm too lazy to put the video here, due to its content)

Clicker

Clicker is a new tool used for continuous assessment in my university, on which there are several buttons, a bit similar like telephone number (0-9), and practically used for multiple choices questions. In the end of lecture (and hence of the slides), or sometimes in the middle, the lecturer will insert a few slides of questions regarding what he just explained some minutes before. After reading the question, he will give several seconds for you to answer it (there is a timer there plus a list of students' names), when you press first choice for example, your name should disappear from the list, indicating that you have answered the question. If you suddenly change your mind, you can simply press another button and it will be regarded as your latest or new answer, provided that there are still a few seconds before the 'poll', as it is called, is closed and the percentage of students' answers are shown immediately in a graph and finally the lecturer will tell the correct answer.

Err, actually I do not intend to write about this unimportant stuff, but just to give a brief idea how the new assessment is done, in addition to normal quizzes plus exam. In every one or two lectures there will be usually clicker assessment and each assessment contains 1-3 questions. Finally from whole marks you collect each lectures, this will be summed up and counted into your final score.

At the first time I heard about this, this subject seems to be a tough one, before I realized that that whole mark counted in this clicker assessment is only around five percent of your final score. From this small percentage, I just knew that it can be perceived in different ways for different students. One friend of my class sometimes asks me, and the others, how many Qs you answer correctly just now. For me, I don't care the marks I get, if I answer all correct, I don't feel any proud or anything, or if I answer all wrong, that's always fine, but for his opinion, if you count up to five percent, then if you get almost 5 percent, it will contribute much to your final grade.

This matters so much for him, and I don't think he is wrong, but I'm just surprised how he appreciates this small percentage of score, of each question, which may only contribute not even 0.2 percent to final grade. Moreover, the question sometimes has very close relation among the 2 choices. If you choose the first one, it is correct, but the second may be the best. Even sometimes the question is found in the slide right after the question (??!??!!!). I love this subject, and try to get the main idea of each lecture, then if I cannot memorize each detailed points just mentioned, I don't want to force myself to memorize everything mentioned, because I know I cannot. Even if you get it correct, does not mean you understand, but the expert student can still also fail in several Qs.

It's just a matter of different perception about how each students think how he learns every subjects. I just can conclude that he is a type of person who always tries to do everything perfectly, as I want to in past, but soon I realized it's not my type of studying. I am still on my own way, but next time I may have to try harder to get better mark, like he who always has incentives do get high score, even from a small portion =D

Beyonce's Upcoming Album

Hey2 I've been longing for her new album so much. After her 2006's huge album, of course many people hope her new album at least as good as before. And finally, the two new songs for the album have been premiered on several radios in the United States (I read from news October 7 or 8), before it will be released next month. And, I like the 2 songs so much. 'If I Were A Boy' is really nice pop stuff from her. Second song, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is good also, but I have to admit that it is not as good as her previous hits like Deja Vu, or Irreplaceable. It just like the same as "Get Me Bodied". Both songs are very nice, but I anticipate for a song with more beat in it as she is really pro in it, yeah I think the fans will think the same. I cannot say the previous album is better because of the 2 songs only, but overall these 2 are really excellent.


I Am...



When I scrolled down my blog it seems to be a music blog, err, because there are many albums I am waiting for which will be released in the end of this year. Hmm, I'm waiting for Jay Chou's new album (the main song is sooooooooo superb), release date is postponed for 1 week, but, yaa it's fine, then Beyonce (hopefully not postponed, then it's next month), EXILE (waaa in my birthday!!!), Agnes Monica (come on, I'm waiting for 3 years, oh noooo), BoA's US debut album (is it really this year? oh I hope there's a better song than the single), Britney's Circus (wah a day before my birthday, but it's on her birthday, go on gal!!), YUI's b-side compilation(next month), mmmm, don't know what else, I forgot :), but, don't forget the exam period - 4 weeks from now, oh no T_T

First Love (Song)

Yeah, it's Utada Hikaru's song. As I put a "song" in bracket you must notice that it's her song as there is no more popular song using the same title. It's a very popular song (not in Japan only) and I think most people ever listened to it before. If you never listened to it I suggest to try because it's a really nice ballad, plus not sound like J-Pop song (if you don't like J-Pop), am I right?

It's a very old song (1999's song) but I never felt bored of it. The first time I listened to this song was around 5-7 years ago. It is one of the very first J-Pop songs I ever listened to and memorized the lyric. Of course at that time I still didn't know the meaning of the song, I never cared about the lyric before, maybe I hadn't know what the hell LOVE is :) Until now I still listened to this song and sometimes realized that it does not sound like other usual 'typical' J-Pop songs.

However one thing I impressed in is that this kinda well-known song ~which is also the title track of the album which became the best selling album in Japanese music history till now, more than 10 millions copies sold~ came from an only 15 years old girl, who was just a normal student with her friends at school, then suddenly in a night after her debut became a superstar, by 2 million copies sold crazily in the first week of that album.

Many english parts included in the lyric -apart of the japanese as the main lyric- helpful so much for me to understand the meaning of the song, as I don't know Japanese at all =p , yeah surely helpful also to memorize the lyric. She ever lived some years in USA, recorded a few songs there (although only moderate successful), that's why you can see that she sang the english part smoothly. Hmm, actually there is no many thing to say since I never learn music. I seldom addicted to a kinda ballad song, but this one is very special, a very nice song.

I put the video of her singing the song live, in her 2006 tour, and she sang it perfectly, as if she put the song alive again, although I think the song is always alive (in some websites the song is stated to be one of the most favourite karaoke songs up till today). One more credit, her vocal in this video is not so different from the original one in CD, her voice is so stable ^^ Just in my opinion, this is still the best J-Pop song so far, has a such level of originality, not influenced by any other songs, has its own style, which we difficult to find in this era. Enjoy the vid :)

tomorrow, at this time
i will probably be crying
i will probably be thinking about you

you will always be inside my heart
you will always have your own place
i hope that i have a place in your heart too

until i can sing a new song

you are always gonna be my love
even if i fall in love with someone once again

Congratulations on Your Wedding!

This afternoon I went to a wedding party of my relative, who live in Singapore but I never met her before. My brother already met her several times so I suggest she knew a bit of me. This afternoon I went there and met some of my families from my home country, one of them is my grandma whom I never met for one year already :(

Actually it was not the real ceremony, I do not understand how Singaporean celebrates a wedding party, but I think it was like an open-house, since the real wedding ceremony is during this night. And badly I cannot attend it because tomorrow I have a morning class which I cannot miss. Another unique thing I never noticed before is that wedding party here is not like in my home country where the whole families even including overseas are supposed to attend, and around 100 guests can be the family only (excluding other guests, friends, etc). Here the Singaporean's family looks different, just a number of people in his family, whereas for indo, even my grandma who is her auntie came from indo, then in indo a wedding will always be a very big big party :)


Just wish both of them the best for their life together as a new husband and a new wife.
Congratulations on your wedding!! =D
