Till The World Ends


The spam messages on my Cbox can be quite amusing sometimes.

As you can see on the image above, I NEED TO THINK AND DO MORE.

I've been slacking weekend after weekend even though the mid-terms for my cores are looming in the near distance. Allow me to cite an example -- All I did this weekend was complete my lab proforma and the risk assessment for next week's lab session, went through a little bit of Electrochemistry notes, and read Chapter 3 of 214 (without understanding a single thing).

There you have it. Pathetic huh?

At this rate I'm going, I'll probably fail both mid-terms.

DO MORE GARY!!!

Anyway, results for my Psychology mid-term were out and I got 82. Then I saw that the average score was 81.79 and the median was 84. So should I be happy or upset? Confused.


Avril's new album comes out tomorrow!! I'll definitely be getting it but I'm gonna do a review now because I've already heard most of the album.

So Avril said this record is more acoustic-sounding, and her first single "What the Hell" was not reflective of the album. Which, in fact, is true. "WTH" sounds out-of-place as compared to the other moody, slightly stripped down tracks like "Push" and "Goodbye".

Can't blame her though, she has been putting her record label on blast over delaying her new album for over a year, and forcing her to include more radio-friendly tracks in the album. As a result, it doesn't sound as cohesive as it can be.

It was told that Avril was pushing for "Push" as the follow-up single to "WTH", but it turned out that the more upbeat and catchy "Smile" was confirmed to be the single.

Label politics.

I bet more and more artists will soon break away from their labels and release music independently. They'll have more control over their creative direction. And that's what true artists want, isn't it?

Well, I have been an avid supporter of Avril since her debut album wayyyyy back in 2001. And I really like most of the songs in this new record. My favourites would be "Push", "Wish You Were Here", "I Love You", "Stop Standing There" and actually "Smile" as well. Haha.

"Goodbye Lullaby" will be the first CD I'm purchasing in 2011. Next up, BRITNEY. Just another 3 more weeks to go......
