Mind-mapping

I'm kinda burning the midnight oil since i slumbered during the 2 week long study break. I was desperately cramping my head with facts and definitions but most left my brain unprocessed. I was elated when i read in an article that there's a renowned method which can boost brain power and help memorizing. It's mind mapping!



mind mapping....mapping mapping....

I started at a point in the middle, and it branched out to more facts and definations and so on. It turned out worse than i thought. It adds chaos to my already confused mind. Perhaps its the consequence of fitting a whole chapter of P. Microbiology onto one sheet of paper.


What is this? DA VINCI CODE?

I created something that maybe even Robert Langdon can't decipher.
I shall call this THE EDMOND LEE CODE.







ps: Do not try mind-mapping without any professional guidance.

A brand new view

Finally, i parted with my companion of 2 years. I am very much grateful of two years of experiences that it opened my eyes to.

But today onwards, i am going to look at things with a new perspective, with a new point of view...



...through my new lenses.

Radio Malaya gig


Radio Malaya gig @ KLPac

Dear asked me to go for this launch party of this music compilation of indie music by some of the local bands like Furniture, Muck, muze etc. She was dying to go and i was more than willing for a new experience.

KLPac - Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre

We reached Sentul West Park where KLPac was, 20 minutes late. We were welcomed by a breathtaking architecture of KLPac. Its a building of glass and aluminium supports with a pinch of retrospect as they retained part of a old british buiding. We bought tickets and headed into PENTAS 2 where the event was held. The guys were still doing sound testing. So we went to the waiting hall and got our hands on some souvenirs. We bought 2 Furniture t-shirts and a CD. Dear was delighted that finally she found the CD she longed for.

There were good news that indie music would be a new kind of mainstream music in Malaysia. But alas, the attendance at KLPac did not support the claim. Yet, the quality of Malaysian indie music was not justified by the attendance when the whole industry was under the realm of government's fist of power. This little branching of alternative music was supressed up to only that mere exposure to the public.
Fathulistiwa Soundscape
The first band which performs was Fathuslistiwa Soundscape. It was nice and then it was followed by the performance of Furniture. They were what we were waiting for. Unfortunately, their performance was disturbed by some glitches in the sound system. We were standing just right at the stage and manage to catch the actions of the band. The guitarist was just right in front of us and he couldn't hide his frustration with his effect pedals.

Lucy in the Loo
Some of the bands were great, some ok, some bad. They are just my personal opinions and its one of the most prominent characteristic of indie music. Independent musicians made music for themselves and so not all of them would suit our personal moods or tastes.
We left after Harmacy's second song. I had tired legs but i opened my eyes and more importantly, opened my ears 3 full hours of some great music and some noisy ones. haha!
We still had some time to visit the Koi centre at Sentul Park. The centre was specially built to breed mega-sized koi's.

STUDY!

2 more weeks to degree exam. It's not really the degree exam alright. It would not contribute to the grades in the end of the exam but its important that i pass this to move on. And the exam was no longer as easy as previous exams anymore. We will be having SAQ's instead of fully MCQs....

I need to study, study and study more in this two weeks of final hurdle towards the ultimate test. GAMBATEH!
