I was quite excited when I heard this topic from Mr. Jaferi. But, I am totally sad now, because the mid-semester break is going to end soon! To all my friends, how did you spend your mid-semester break? Some of them spent it with family, and some with their beloved one. What about me? My mid-semester is so boring!
Before the break, I told myself to sleep early everyday, grab this opportunity to get enough rest. But, I ended up go to bed at 3 or 4 am in the morning. What was I doing at the sleeping hours? Guess what, I read a lot of comics. You must be thinking that I am childish, right? Before that, I have to declare a statement, I was not reading adult comic, don't get me wrong ya. I found out that I learned a lot through comic, about the truths of life and the moral values. I am a big fans of One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. Among the 3 comics, I love One Piece the most!
Other than that, I came out with a schedule for workout. Of course, I hope to lose some weight. I did everything, but I put on weight! Oh My God, I think the main problem is my diet. I have to work harder next time, fitness is a long term goal for me. Throughout my break, I managed to contact with some of my secondary schools friends. We had a lot of fun through chit-chat. They reminded me about all the 'honeymoon years' in secondary school, crazy moments with sweet memories. Most of them are busy with study, some of them started to work already. To all my friends out there, I wish you all the best, and I know we are going to meet someday!
I bet you realized I was alone throughout the break. Indeed, I was!I missed my family very much and I wanted to go back badly. Due to the price of flight ticket, I had to stay back. Whenever I was free, I will drop a call to my family, to keep myself updated to all the latest happenings. Don't worry, Papa and Mummy, I will take good care of myself, I won't let you down! I have to be extra patient, because the semester break is coming soon!
Wake up, Adam Chong! Get back to work since your break will be finished soon. A real sadness for me. I will catch up with my friends after and get back to university's life again...

My Favourite Singer
This title reminds me about my teenage-hood. Those days, we spent time chatting in class, chasing our dreams and keep ourselves updated to our favourite singers! Whenever we had a chance, we will sing our favourite songs. Sweet memories though. I was part of it and my all-time favourite singer is Jolin Tsai.
Today, Jolin is still active in the entertainment sircle. She is years old, and she is still single. I just love her songs, no explanations for it. When I am happy, I will listen to her song, the same goes to when I am sad. The lyrics are reflections of real life, sometimes, it plays as a mirror for me as well, I can see myself clearly. I think some of the lyrics are based on her personal experience, who knows? Her voice is soothing, it relieves the pain within me. I do not understand why I like her so much. I fell into her when I heard her song for the very first time. It was introduced by a friend sat next to me in secondary school. There is some sort of magnetic force, I know it sounds funny, but it is real!
The songs I like contain sad lyrics, truly sad love story. You can say I am sentimental, but the lyrics are so real, you just cannot deny it, it suits most of the situations I faced before. Her first album was released in 1999, I was 9 at that time, too young for being a fans. I had my very first album of Jolin Tsai when I was 14, entitled 'Castle'. I indulged fully in her songs like other fans. 'It's Love' is a happiness song, whereas 'Rewind' is a song of sadness. Those days I had my puppy love, but I never get into any relationship throughout my secondary school, I admired and I confessed but I never succeed, exactly like the song. Funny, right?
Jolin is a Taiwanese and she is a Chinese. In general, she is a mandopop singer, more to trendy type. I prefer her old songs, it comes with better quality and suit me well. Her latest album was released on 27th march 2009.The title for that album is 'Butterfly', I am going to get myself a copy of that. Don't get me wrong ya, I mean a original copy.
Everyone has their own favourite singer. It enriches your life in the way you never expected. But, please do not get obsess with it. For me, Jolin Tsai is always the best. Jolin rocks!

A Bored Gifted Studemt
It was a sunny day, and I was on my way home. I was thinking about myself. Do I have any problem in socialize? Or am I a boring person? In school, my friends and classmates will come to me when they are facing problems in academic. I never receive any invitations for birthday party. No one will come to me and sit beside me or chat with me. I was a top academic performer, is that the reason behind everything? I did not attend any tuition class, and I did not join any clubs or associations. Most of my friends were my classmates, because I did not go for any extra activities. I guessed there is a boundary for my social circle. In school, I was a role model, many teachers like to talk to me or refer to me according to the problems they faced in class. I never take any action in approaching people. So, most of them think that I was arrogant. I was not, just that i did not know what to talk about and how to start an interesting conversation. In the end, I chose to be quiet. I had a lot of virtual friends in Facebook. During my leisure time, I played computer games and did some readings. At home, I hardly communicate with my parents, I did well in school and good in discipline, just stay cool like always. I do not have any siblings, I am the only child and I got whatever I want. One of fiends even came to me and asked me, "Don't you feel bored? Because I always see you alone". For me, I am used to it already, nothing more and nothing less. My parents wanted me to succeed, and I was just the right thing. For every subjects I took, I managed to pass with flying colours. All I had to do is, read through my text books and focused in class, there is no other secrets behind it. But, should I change my attitude? I always think about it, but I never come out with any decision. I do not like to be fake and pretend to be nice to others. This is me, and I will always be myself. Maybe an angel and change my life. Who knows?

The Cranberries
"The Cranberries", does this name sound familiar to you? Do you enjoy their songs? Let me do a brief introduction to all of you. "The Cranberries" is a well-known Irish rock band which founded at 1989. Today, this rock band consists of 4 people. First of all, the vocalist is Dolores O'Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan and drummer Fergal Lawler. I love O'Riordan's voice, it is so unique and soothing!
Actually, O'Riordan is not the original vocal for "The Cranberries", she joined the band after the band was formed. At the begining, Niall Quinn was the original vocalist for "The Cranberries", but he left the band in less than a year. The original name for the band is "The Cranberry Saw Us", they changed it to "The Cranberries" after they sold 300 copies of their home-made demo tape. In a short period of time, they attracted the major recording company and they ended up at Island Records.
So far, they came out with 6 albums already. The first one is "Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?", it was released on 1st of March 1993. Follow by, "No need to argue" at 1994. 2 years later, it is "To the faithful departed". "Bury the hatchet" was released in year 1999. In year 2001, they released "Wake up and smell the coffee". After another 11 years, "The Cranberries" came back with "Roses". There is no specific song I like in the latest album. But, I love "Linger" in "Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?" The song is a reflection of love story, how cruel can a relationship be. Somehow, it triggered my heart when I listened to this song.

Linger
You must be wondering about their appearances. "Linger" MV was recorded in 1993, approximately 10 years from now. For sure, they gain wisdom and grow older. Their passion towards music have proved that age is no an obstacle. And there is one fact which never change, they always work hard in music and come out with the best songs ever!
