CHECK-THIS-OUT!!!

Archie is now with his debut album officially released on 11 Nov. ( erm, I know i m a bit late)


Like others used to, he impresses me through the ever conspicuous reality show. I expect u know it. In case you really don’t, do googling pls. This chap is diagnosed with vocal paralysis before but refuses any surgeries. And now, he proves himself very right. Like what Simon said during the show, he is likeable and he gets the whole package. It’s true. He astounds me, at least.

Ok, switch to the album. My personal favourite - Crush, Angels and Touch My Hands. As you may know, Angels is originally Robbie Williams’s and there is also Jessica Simpson’s version. But I like neither their versions. Williams’s version sounds too gloomy while Simpson’s version is a bit exaggerating. Archie’s version is just nice, moderate. Ok, spend a little time on this album albeit some of the songs aren’t up to the mark (sorry, hubby!) Still, I don’t mean BAD. Go listen and you yourself rate it.

And here’s another album I find awesome recently.


The melody is rather soothing. If you are currently in grief or feeling depressed or whatever, I guess this is the remedy. Effectiveness is however, not guaranteed. But try, at least. Ok, i don't think this album is literally describable for me. Just go listen it. Anyway, i have to discard Bad Day. Powter has just more to show than just Bad Day!

Cherish the music~

see you.

Perturbed

Flipping through the jobs' column in the newspaper ended up me feeling perturbed.

None of the vacancies required specifically on an English degree and I started to feel hazy about my future. For me, choosing to major in English is actually very risky as my career will be confined only in lecturing, teaching, editing, translating. And the most important thing is, I don’t find myself relish in any jobs mentioned.

I’d conferred this question with one of my course mate once. Does this course deserve our 3 years or this--$$$$? Or in contrary, it deserves neither? And both of us couldn’t reach out an answer. I guess it’s pretty much subjective.

I remembered I was in dilemma five months ago of which course to choose. I did contemplate about business study. But, well, you know I m not good in fumbling with numbers and all those stupid formulae. Trust me; my Maths sucks. I just believe choosing business study will guarantee me a brighter future. English, on the other hands, the subject I have pretty much zeal on (take note: zeal≠proficiency) but possess less job potential. But, I eventually ended up all the vacillation, taking the risk of being unemployed.

And now I start to wobble, thinking whether my choice is smart enough. Yet feeling lucky at the same time that i don't have to deal with Maths A-N-Y-M-O-R-E. Contradicting isn't it? And finally, i think i've got an answer to my choice- RIGHT but not WISE!
