Music…

It gives us hope - it bring us a new meaning to life. when you feel that you’re down, listening to some songs to freshen up yourself really works. Shall we credit those singers or shall we credit the background players? Music bring us up when we are down…or well…the other way round. Ever experience being in a good mood and then you heard someone opera singing near you? haha…most of us will experience it if not all. And sometimes we are the one at the other end. Maybe we just don’t realise it. Bet you’ve sing in the shower before…all of us do. But do keep your voice down in case you’re singing ‘Standing in the eyes of the world’ and the guy next door was being embarass by his ’soon to be’ ex-girlfriend at the roadside.

Ever join any activities with a theme song? They’ll force you to keep singing it till you cant get it out of your head. you’ll keep singing the song even when you hate the slightest tune of it. But i’m glad that i’ve experience a few songs in activities. Even when I hate them, but when it’s played on the radio once in a while, I’ll think back about those activities…the friends I made…how we manage to go through everything with a team spirit as strong as those ’spirit’…iks..

Music doesn’t have a start and i hope it will not end…But with all kinds of musicians coming and going, I really wonder what kind of music will my children be listening…hmmm…

    We’ll face a lot of people in our life…some who are good,some who are bad and..well…some who are just jerk (dan…i almost forgot bout this word until i saw your blog,lol). but life must go on, good guys will come bad guys will go and vice versa. In the end…all that’s left is our bones that we’ll bring till liang lahad.i also quite forgot what i wanna say.haha
    Ever met people who will keep on complaining about why there’s haze, why is it sunny, why does it rain when i wash my clothes, why do people do this, why do people do that? we’ll stumble upon many of these ques all along our life. But if we keep on complaining bout things that we cant control, bout things that have nothing to do with us, bout people who has no business with us whatsoever, will it bring us any good? If it does not gives us any good, why do people like to complain then? Is it because they really like to do so or is it because they are just too free?
    Most of us will engage in a lot of activities: sports, games, hobbies, crapping with frenz, hanging out, joining society. Maybe when people don’t have a life and doesn’t have anything better to do, they’ll go to the net to vent their anger on life. As to why people are stressed up but happy and they are free…but..well…bored? Are they just jealous of other people life…coz they dun have any goals in their life? just studying…surfing the net wasting life precious minutes. Then some thoughts will creep up to their disturb mind hoping others will fail…fail miserably. Maybe that will make them happy? No?
    Then what will make them happy? Is it by looking through other people’s personal life? I once stumble upon some news that someone memorize my IC No and Student ID to check my result and calculate my grades till the smallest decimals possible.The first thing which came to my mind is Wow! what does my grades have to do with other people? People will sometimes think that they are the world and everything must go their way. They are right and everyone is wrong. They can win but everyone cant. They are the best and no one can be better. They can kill but others cant. okok…maybe kill is too harsh a word. But my point is there. If they don’t feel like stuying, they will make sure no one else is studying. Isn’t that funny?
    Another thing that i cant accept is that some people will just criticise lecturers on and on. Mayb some lecturers are not good at teaching, but at least they are giving their effort. How many of us are willing to teach for a living? How many of us are willing to share our knowledge? Except for keatmeng la…all the best Teacher Chong! but for the others…do cherish your lecturers. Do respect them. Even if you don’t, do not look bad on those that do. If you have never thank your lecturers at the end of the semester, do not talk bad bout those that do. Most people are not just thinking of advantages like you do! All that we want, is just to cherish those that have done good to us…and think good of those that do not. SO please do not force us to think otherwise…

In the end…i myself is not sure of what the #$@^* am i writing about.haha….and cynt’s personal msg (be careful on your words in case you have to eat them) made me really think bout our actions…
