Muzika



this is another overdue blog post that i have been meaning to share with all of you but because of the suckish internet connection and of course,my extremely tight schedule,my early plans will usually fall apart.i'm just glad right now,at this hour,my eyes can still bear it and the line is not as congested as during peak hours.
as you all may or may not have known,i went to this music exhibition the other day at Petrosains.the exhibition is more to physics than music,nevertheless,when music is connected to science,it will surely attract me.the first and most basic theory of it all is the sound wave theory.sound is transmitted via movement of particles that form longitudinal waves.the speed of sound depends on the arrangement of particles in a medium,be it compact or loose.in this case,the demonstration was done by using simple door knobs slammed to different types of surfaces(limestone,sandstone,rock) and the result?the indicated speed will be shown on a digital machinery.



moving on,there are other complex theories as well.the theory of adaptation,origin of music and plagiarism.it turns out that my favourite song by P.diddy entitled 'I'll Be Missing You' is an adaptation of an older song from a band called Police back in the 80s.speaking of time,there were two similar exhibits: development of music starting from the imitating of natural sounds to alternative music and the development of recording materials,i.e from gramophones to CDs.music has gone through a lot of revolutionary changes as human kind matures.i also got a chance to test my musicality: my perfect pitch,my musical pattern differentiation.it turns out only one out of a 1000 people have perfect pitch,and sadly i'm not one of them.so my score was 8/10,which means i have an average tempo and perfect musical pattern differentiation abilities.not to mention,the exhibit that proves how much a music can influence one's emotions in a particular situation is also fascinating.some of the rest of the exhibitions that attracted me are the never-ending piano(in which the tune we play seem to keep ascending and will never end as we go around it) and the turntable simulation.

so i guess that just about wraps up my awesome trip to MUZIKA! till then,may music connect us all despite language,nation or other inevitable yet irrelevant barriers among us all.

Thinking Beyond Infinity

hi peeps! i have had some really random overdue thoughts lately that i've intended to share with all of you but i can't,considering all things i have to settle,not forgetting my vow to not go online on weekdays.so this just leaves me with 2 mingy days to blog and update all of you.life has been hectic and so far,2010 has served me really well.i just came back from Syira's sister's wedding.we all had a blast and the doorgift is simply wonderful! but what i'm trying to focus on here is not about the wedding OR the scrumptous dessert.instead,our hopes and dreams.i know,i'll be turning 17 in less than a month and that means i only have one year to be dependent before i fly on my own,making my own decisions and obeying my own rules as i go.also,i know how much i wanted to be an adult back when i was 15.i used to whine about being underage etc,but now that i'm clos eto being what i've been always dreaming about,i'm slightly worried about my future.some of my plans do fall apart back in the old days,but no one can actually predict what might happen in the new future.however,things will never happen unless it is planned.so,what i'm going to do after SPM is get myself a driving license,get a part-time job at the curve,use the money to fund jam sessions and recording sessions for my band and of course,college will be my next step once the results are out.it does sound smooth,but things can always turn the other way around and life has never been smooth for anyone.this is exactly why i will be thinking of plan B,which i will inform you of once i've gotten my mind into it.my plan A,in my opinion,is pure gold and as solid as can be.i wonder what will it take for me to come up with another backup plan..hmmm..my band,my future,my hopes and dreams,are all messed up lately.all i need is support from everyone around me and things should be okay.once again,i do hope i won't end up disappointing myself again.so anyway,about my 17th birthday,i'll give all of you a very crystal-clear wishlist so that (hahaha....) you guys won't end up giving me something that will become another 'resident un der my bed'.:

-This Is It DVD
-Mj's Thriller 25th Anniversary
-a new guitar pick ;p
-a metronome (I NEED ONE!)
-MJ's opus :P
-Mika's The Boy Who Knew Too Much (deluxe version)
-Mika's PDP DVD

there you go. XD good luck hunting for them! (if you love me)
ok,it was a joke.of course i appreciate anything y'all give to me as long as it comes form your heart. :)

that's all i guess.till next time.i'll be blogging about an overdue event: MUSIKA Exhibition in petrosains later with pics! toodles.
