Semester Break

I am having my semester break right now.

So far my semester break has been eventful but something huge is coming, and right now I do not wish to divulge any of it.

It is something I am afraid of, but is something I cannot avoid (I could delay it, actually I intentionally bring it forward) and is something I do look forward to.

Will see how things turn up.

Minions Movie

I am a big fan of this yellow creatures and therefore when it was released I immediately went for the first slot available, and I even decided to watch it before I return to Penang since my flight departs at night. Minions could be considered a prequel to Despicable Me, and it very briefly shows how the minions first appeared, rather smoothly found their masters to serve (which basically is the sole purpose of their mere existence) and tragically lost all of them. Then after a long time they decide to travel to find a new master after momentarily gave up due to repeated failure to serve properly and found Scarlett Overkill. And so it goes on. The movie itself is rather entertaining though a bit dull if compared to Despicable Me but still it manages to give good laugh to the audience. Insertion of elements from the legendary King Arthur seems out of place and a bit absurd but at least the storyline flows well. The best part of the movie has got to be the part where one of the minions actually spoke "Terima kasih". To hear Malay being spoken in a Hollywood movie this big is simply jaw-dropping and everyone in the theatre was literally caught off guard. Overall, great movie!

Swadaya 2015

It's been a while since Sultanah Asma and Swadaya have a new show and that's why I was very looking forward to this year's marching band competition. Alas I couldn't watch the performance live so I have to dig for videos online as the only mean to watch their mesmerising performance.

This year Sultanah Asma did not emerge as Champion but Swadaya did, which I was rather surprised at the beginning but after watching the performance, I have to say Swadaya totally deserve it. While in my noobie opinion both do not differ much in quality, Swadaya's music captured me better than Sultanah Asma's.

After all, both are coached by the same coach, their quality would not differ much.

Well, for Sultanah Asma, sadly it has lost the attractive and mind-blowing quality since its Mulan. Its Mulan totally blew me off and I loved it and I till today am still watching it. It was a masterpiece so wonderfully orchestrated that led them to be the world champion in WCMSB 2011 and winning Sudler Shield Award. That was by far my most favourite's show.

On a side note I wish to say whoever organised Kuala Lumpur International Youth Marching Band Competition 2015 suck in doing so. No updates, no videos provided, and with only 5 bands competing, you call it international? Quite a shame.

Congratulations Swadaya and Sasband!

The End of Year 1 Semester 1

I have just finished my final exam and am currently a tad exhausted.

I will attempt to update my blog as soon as possible but I am taking a nap after days of insufficient sleep.

Good luck to those who are still having finals!
