music

i've just discovered classical music in youtube, and i'm listening to them right now. for now i've just listened to a sample of bach.

Anyway, how are you doing? I am a bit sidetracked you see, what with the project paper due in 4 days, and not a strong chapter is in sight for me. An assignment which I must send today I have neglected to submit. I will do so tomorrow (Tuesday), before class. But other assignments are already finished. The only ones left are the project paper. That is all that stands between me and the convocation to be held this August. There's not much to be done actually: Conduct an interview with three majordomos, do some research and whatnot, write some methodology and a few strong statements to support my paper, and I'm good to go. Problem is I haven't started.

A lot of stories have turned into films these days. The latest to be in the silver screen is the Spiderwick Chronicles, starring that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory boy, whathisname-erson. While I do like the trend of stories coming to life, I am afraid that such a move will discourage people from picking up the book itself and start reading. Most will feel satisfied to just go the movies to watch the darn storybook for Rm10 and save all the trouble spending many a ringgit just to read a story. Yes, Malaysians are money savvy at that. While I do have doubts that the book reading population won't decline that soon, in this day and age of fast foods and speedy services, one may not be enticed that much to sit down and spend their lazy days reading a book. Though as of this hour, I have yet to watch the Golden Compass and the said movie above, two storybooks to silverscreens.

The latest music by Utada Hikaru, "Heart Station" is up. I saw the PV in Youtube, her first appearance ever since her divorce, I think. She has a new haircut, which looked boyish to me, but hey, the music is still Hikki which is totally awesome. Can't wait to buy the album, ehem.

I've bought the book. it's in my drawer, wrapped neatly.

I must get back to writing my assignments and paper. Until next time.
