Artists in singing and acting all have one goal, that is to be famous. Many people want to be like them, therefore we have competitions such as American Idol, Malaysian Idol, One in a Million, Star Idol, and many more that showcase people's talent. There are people who make it without all those and they have done well. I have two person in mind, they are Colbie Caillat and Marie Digby.
Colbie made it big with posting her song on MySpace and Marie did it by singing an acoustic version of umbrella and posting it on Youtube. Now you can hear their songs on our local radio stations and they really have talent. What they have done that is smart is utilising technology. Posting on the internet is a great way to share your music, many people are able to access it. Because it is good, people start passing it around, and it reaches people who are interested in producing records for them.
For them to make it big, all they needed was to market their talent and the internet did it well for them. It is something they tried and it was worth the shot, now their beautiful voices can be heard. Below is the song Bubbly from Colbie:
The lyrics are good, she wrote this song herself (I think, that's what I heard :P)
Below is Marie Digby's version of Umbrella:
Hope you enjoy their music as much as I do

Entertainment or life lessons???
Since I don't have a job yet I have plenty of time to spare :P. Lately I have been watching a lot of tv shows. Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Heroes, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 30 rock and Scrubs and also Friends. These shows give entertainment to the viewers, all great in their own way, usually a little lesson behind each episode.
One Tree Hill season 5 has just started again and it came with a good season premiere. There are a number of things highlighted in the show, have integrity as a person and remember to stay true to who you are. It's your life, take a stand, feel that you're under control? it's time to stand up. You might lose your dream, but you don't lose everything, start fighting again. That's why I love tv shows, so much entertainment and lessons to learn. And not to forget the fashion too :P. I love to watch what the female characters wear and from there I observe what fashion trend is up overseas.
All tv shows always have a lesson to learn, by noticing each character in the show you can see their personality and how they grow.Sometimes people around you give advices that you can't seem to accept and tv shows can reach out to you when you're in that moment. It's good to reflect on what you watch and what you learn from it. Life is always full of ups and downs, so we face it straight on and keep living!!

P.S: I Love You
Saying I love you at the right time brings about a different feeling in the heart. It brings meaning into people's life too, it gives hope and knowing that you're being loved gives people the will to live on. P.S I Love You is a book I read written by Cecilia Ahern. It's a chic flit that I started to read after I got bored of fantasy books, you know the same old same old? Warriors, hunters , priests , a party grouped together to kill/destroy/eliminate the bad guy/evil demon/evil person. Sometimes it's hunting treasures, sometimes it's war.
This book that I read made me realised something that I haven't thought about. First the summary of the book. It's about this woman who married her childhood sweetheart and it was a happy marriage that did not last long , why? Because the husband discovered he had leukemia, of course in the end he died. The story doesn't end with him dying, after some time, the wife still misses him alot and always stayed at home, not wanting to live life without him, not wanting to be happy without him. Her birthday arrives and he sent her a cake along with a letter. Inside the letter, he told her that he has a plan for her and one letter will arrive every month.
The husband is so thoughtful to think of all these even when he was struggling with cancer. Every month the letters came and telling her to do somethings, things that made her happy and reminded her that he is always with her and that she can move on and be happy again. It also told her that doing all those things will not make her forget about him. The book ended with her being able to get on her feet again and continue to love him and live life. Ps: all letters end with ps: i love you.
After reading this book, I thought of things such as life comes and goes easily so we should live life fullest every second. Appreciate and show as much love as you can to be people around you. Even better if you can show love to people who need that love too. Sometimes I know I neglect the people I love and often disappoint them. I really hope that this year will be a better year and that I will learn from my mistakes and make them proud. The thing that I need the most this year is optimism which I always seem to lack of. Thinking negative for me is so easy and always worrying on things that are the least of my problems too. When I think negatively I affect the people around because it's so hard for them to encourage me when I shoot them back with negativity. I really thank you all that has put up with this from me. I will try to change and let's all hope for the best for the people we love.
Remember to say I love you with all your heart at every moment that counts in life!!

A whole new year
Time really flies, thinking about what happened last year makes me miss it. Like everyone there was ups and downs but I can conclude that it was a better year than 2006. Whatever new year's resolution I had last year, I really can't remember whether I did achieved it. So this year I will blog out my list, which is a small one.
So for the time being, I will learn more on C# and review back the programming languages that I've learn from college. All of it almost slipped my mind already, time to review and remember :P. Wish me luck!!
- Try to eat more fruits and vegetable (I totally hate veggy :P)
- Start exercising/work out
- Use my brain more :P
- Be more careful in performing tasks
- Be less wasteful in spending money

PC fair and me
Pikom PC fair was just the previous weekend since now is monday already. I went on saturday and of course everywhere is packed. Thinking of eating at the foodcourt but seeing there were already so many people walking around, I doubt that I could find a seat to have lunch with my cousin brother. Therefore, I decided to eat that Dome. This is my first time having a meal there and I didn't know what was good at all. My cousin brother nasi lemak with a choice of either beef rendang or chicken, he chose beef. I order cajun chicken sandwich. When the nasi lemak arrived it looked good, mine was okay. I took a taste of the sambal and it was better than I expected. After lunch, we went to the convention for the fair.
My target was to find a new keyboard and a Logitech mouse. It was hard to make a decision since I aiming for a high end items. In the end, I couldn't decide and went home. After some thought, I decide to buy the Razer Lycosa, so I went to PC fair again with my sister in the afternoon earlier. Bought my keyboard and I was very happy indeed. Cant wait to install and use it :P. My sis on the other hand bought a mouse coz hers is spoilt, after being with us for more than 4 years. She also bought a keyboard for her laptop coz it's easier for her to play O2jam.

It was packed on the way home, but it didn't affect our moods coz we got what we wanted :D.
The outlook of the box .
How it looks inside.
That's where the CD and guides for the drivers are.
The keyboard without the backlight on.
The keyboard with backlight on.
What a beautiful keyboard :P. The keys are soft and sturdy to use and on the right corner the media keys are touch-based. All the keys are programmable for macro use. Price wise I think it's worth it :D.

How it's been
One month I didnt update liaoz =P. Was a bit lazy and nothing much happened so didnt bother to update. Did a lot of things for the past month, my birthday was ok, had to work half day, checking reports. After that, went home to shower and change to have a nice dinner at The Gardens Midvalley with bf. We had japanese food at Yuzu. The restaurant has a nice design, the service was good, of course the meals are pricey a bit, around rm 25-40 for set meals. The sushis are the costly meals, especially the sashimi. The food was good and everyone was happy :D.
Around mid november, went to Cameron Highlands for a holiday. The journey there was long, on the way uphill it was all turns here and there. It was so cooling up there, at night I went to the pasar malam they had. There were so many stalls selling strawberry related items such as slippers, keychains, toys and etc. There were so many of it that you'll never see in a regular pasar malam in KL. What I did beside walking around was buying food for supper later at night in the hotel, bought corn and fried mushrooms. The corn they sell is no regular corn, it tastes so sweet, it was half yellow and white and the locals call it jagung mutiara.
That's the most interesting things I did for november, other than that would be my usual task. Lately I had nothing much to do so I decided to learn C# and it was interesting. I hope I can pick it up fast and add another skill for me :D.

Blogging
It's been long since I've blogged, the reason behind it is sometimes I don't know what to blog about. People blog bout their daily lives, is mine interesting enough? Blogging daily live is sort of writing in an online diary excluding private details. People blog what they want, but how much of it is true? Who cares right?? As long as we readers enjoy reading, that's good enough to capture attention.
Blogging also challenges the writers to be creative and to come out with something new once in a while. Who wants to read the same old thing over and over again. "Today I woke up at blah blah blah blah." *Yawn* The only people who will read are those who have nothing better to do or are interested in your daily life. I'll admit that when I have nothing better to do, I'll start reading blogs, even people who I do not know.
Lately, my friends who used to be active in blogging has decrease, therefore I became blur to what happen to the daily life of my friend in UK. He used to blog constantly, I guess the daily life there is too hectic to spend time to write. Even I myself have totally slack on my side, updating my last year in APIIT. Well here I am sitting here thinking of what to blog.
So an update to my life, still haven't start to look for a job. Been sitting at home, reading, watching animes on the comp and TV, sleep a lot :P, I did do some part time job :D. Still waiting for my FYP results, after it's released I'll start looking for a job. Somehow I don't feel like moving ahead because I know I'm not ready. I'm not ready mentally, working in the real world is a big change for me. I just have to adjust according to the changes. Other than that, my birthday is coming soon, might celebrate it I hope :D. Guess that's all for now, hopefully I'm inspired to write more and improve in my writing.

Exams left
Well, only one week left in this study life of mine and then holiday :P. Anyway, to recap the last few months of my life in short. Rush FYP, rush CCSD assignment, CCSD presentation, FYP presentation. Well I was late at handing up my FYP assignment, close to late for CCSD assignment. Both presentations were ok, I tried my best to answer the questions.
It was scary for me when I had my FYP presentation because I did not know how Mr. Dhason would react or what else he would do. He too asked questions on my program, well I didnt manage to do normalization but i manage to explain the logic i have. Well, I dont think I will get a first class for this project. It all comes down to my own fault for not managing my time well. It's all over now!! On to exams, then off to holiday :P
