after easter update

My favourite picture of all time.... Found it in the internet after searching for a hour

With easter break just ended, exams and assignments flood my schedule. Due to my exams on monday and wednesday, i could hardly find time to blog. Anyway, it is really a busy week for me because i had like 2 final exams. This is attribute to my fault because the 2 tests is about two units that i neglected. But finally with those 2 units clear, i am back on track again. I must keep my work update from now on especially on Taxation 3321 because i think i may fail that exam.

I just find alot of nice cantonese songs from Ester's collection. I really want to upload it here to share with you guys but there is always copyright issue whih is bothering me. But today, i am addicted to the song which i heard many years ago, "Eyes on Me"

I think alot of people should be pretty familar with this song. Afterall, it is sung by faye wong and composed by Nobuo Uematsu for the theme song of Final Fantasy VIII. This song had touched my heart again even after almost 8 years. I still remember how much i like this song by replaying the scence when the song was played.

I think one of the most interesting part is the meaning of the song. It was sung by one of the NPC, Juliet in the game to express her sorrow waiting for Laguna. Though it was sad that Laguna eventually never returns, maybe that was why it makes the song more powerful. Final Fantasy is one of my favourites because there is always a love relationship plot in it (except FF12, which i dropped last holiday). Alot of people don't really like FF9 because of the animated characters but i still think is nice because the story between Zidane and Dagger is very deep.


The love between Squall and Rinoa

Watch the opening FMV here with Liberi Fatali

I am glad that Nobuo Uematsu will be composing the theme song for FF13 after so many years. Afterall, he had stopped since FF9. Been loving all the songs he compose including "Liberi Fatali" from FF8 opening. This song was so powerful that it was played in the 2004 summer olympics during the women's synchronized swimming event. For some reasons, i felt Final Fantasy had turned abit dull after FF10. The explore-world concept is no more and now they have a RT system which much appears like the gameplay of Kingdom Hearts.

Anyway, good luck to my many friends who are having their exams in Singapore. After these few weeks, 3 months of holiday will await you. So keep the momentum up, "suffers now, and enjoy later" I too will continue to push on. Been thinking how fun it will be if Ming Wei and WQ really coming over in the holidays. Hope they really come lah. We will drive around Australia, sorry, is Western Australia... hahaha...
