Top Notch Albums

It's been quite awhile since my previous post, and now I'm almost suffocating in my room looking at countless P/L's , balance sheets, cash budgets......and the host of those stuff. So just here to share a few albums I really like.
Firstly, the the eighth volume of Jay called "On the Run".
Some say it's the best album he has, like every new album that comes out. But clearly it's not, seems like maybe Jay is lacking some time due to an active roles in films. Nevertheless, a lot of improvising compared to the previous albums which is good.
Here's the list of the songs. Translations from JCNET.

牛仔很忙 Cowboy on the Run (Niu Zai Hen Mang)

彩虹 Rainbow (Cai Hong)


青花瓷 Blue & White Porcelain (Qing Hua Ci)


阳光宅男 Sunny Otaku (Yang Guang Zhai Nan)


蒲公英的约定 Dandelion's Promise (Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding)


无双 Unparalleled (Wu Shuang)


我不配 I'm Not Worthy (Wo Bu Pei)


扯 Pulling / Ripping (Che)


甜甜的 Sweetly (Tian Tian De)


最长的电影 The Longest Movie (Zui Dhang De Dian Ying)


I firstly thought the first song was a disaster, but after a few times of listening ,I finally accepted it. A Jay fan would be bias in commenting on this album, so I think I wouldnt . This album has sold in record volumes and even a fan like me hasn't got my hands on this album. Soon enough "the" collection would soon updated again.
And next few would be English albums as other than Jay, chinese songs are almost foreign to me.

First up, Lifehouse -Who We Are
I think this album quite tremendous if you have listened to previous albums, this one is actually better than the one before which had wonderful tracks like Come Back Down, and You and Me and Better Luck Next Time. Been listening to it for awhile, it's definitely good.

And next , Carrie Underwood with Carnival Ride


If you like Country music, this is heaven. If you don't , you wont be bothered. But Carrie has brought Country to another level, sort of like more modern. Again,I'm bias, all tracks are great, trust me !!!! Even the the Some Hearts albums.

And thirdly, it's the group which has visited Malaysia recently. The Click Five !

A change of lead singer, a change for the better. This album has really topped their last album way back in 2005. It's not really rock , but probably pop/rock. Their songs are mostly very lively songs, and I assure you they are good. Again I'm sorry to say, every damn song is good. Namely Jenny, Headlight Disco, Mary Jane and Empty.

So catch these albums if you can and when you can. One more paper people!

Good Luck!!!

Some Crap to know before going into the exam room:

 
• Persevere. Always attempt questions. Make sure you attempt all questions in the paper
• Sometimes you can earn more marks and save time by doing a little more thinking before you put pen to paper. If you can't find the answer to an earlier part of a question, you should still attempt the later parts.
• It is a good idea to start with a question near the start of the paper. They aim to establish confidence early in the exam, and help you to start thinking mathematically.
• Look at the marks allocated to each question. More marks means that you should expect to spend more time and to show more steps in your logic.
• You should always show how you got your answer. If the answer is all that you write down then you will get zero marks for an incorrect answer.
• Work in black or blue pen in your exam book, although you may use pencil for diagrams and graphs.
• Make your working and graphs as neat as possible. If your writing is untidy, you may misread it and make careless errors.
• Show appropriate steps of logic in your solutions. These steps are awarded marks.
• Draw a light and single line through any working that you think is incorrect, and redo the solution. Any attempts at questions should be readable so that you can be given some credit for your work. You should not use whiteout in the exam as you may waste time waiting for it to dry and it makes your previous attempts unreadable.
• Check that your results are reasonable. If they are not, make a comment to that effect.

Remember, always be calm during your exam.. You may take a short 3 minutes break after 1 hour of the test and continue after that.. This will help you clear your mind and you will be able to continue with more confidence..
