showman

yes this is an update of my life.

i mentioned listening to new tunes these few days in my previous post. in this post i am going to comment on another album that i have been looping for few days now. it is the original soundtrack album from the upcoming movie "The Greatest Showman".

well, it is a musical movie so one would expect the album to be decent. yeah while musical movies like this ought to have a spectacular list of tracks, this isn't the case for some of them. however, with that said, this one lives up to that stereotype and expectation. the songs are really really inspirational and great. i love almost every single track of the album. in case you have yet to watch the trailers for this movie, do so right now.

having heard the album, i am more intrigued into catching it in the cinemas. hmm.. i wonder if i can bring myself to do so lol or if any of my friends would want to as well haha. until next time then, cheers.

reputation

yes this is an update of my life.

it feels as though today is my first day of winter break. no plans. not touching FYP. a day where i sleep in and be awake just to eat and watch my shows. not doing anything productive can be good but i guess i will get bored of it after a few days of such a lifestyle. then again, my schedule for the next couple of days prevent me from doing so anyway.

yeah, maybe tomorrow still can have such a lifestyle but come this weekend, my tuition classes are back again. then Monday would yet be another day trip to campus.

moving on, i have been listening to quite a few new songs as well. today i would like to talk about few of them. they are from an album in fact. yeah, you might have guessed from the title of this blog. it is "Reputation" by Taylor Swift.

well, you cannot expect a fan of Taylor Swift to give an album a miss even if his friends commented that it isn't really good. after all, i have to listen for myself. so i did.. in fact at least twice. verdict? not as nice as previous albums but not as bad as some people think.

i would say this is a really fresh new take by her and it is probably the main reason why those people didn't really like this album. nonetheless, the lyrics remain great and impactful.. like those in her previous albums as well. of course, i don't love every song in the album but there are few that are really nice.. and i would share them here someday for sure. until next time then, cheers.

half a mess

yes this an update of my life.

somewhat relieved and happy with my FYP progress after this afternoon. now i can take a couple days off the project and appreciate my winter break before continuing. yeah "relieved" and "happy".. i can highlight exactly why these two.

i am relieved because i thought i would take way longer to clear this part of coding and analysis considering the silly fatal error i made earlier this week. so what happened then was i did not realise a careless error in my code that resulted to half of the results churned out on earlier this week to be rather off. so yeah imagine the feeling i got when i realised i practically wasted more than half a day at the start of this week. so i had to spend yesterday and today morning clearing out this half a mess. then only thereafter i can carry on. i think caffeine from my cups of tea today drove me real well.

i am happy because this is more or less the last major part of my analysis. the next step would be presenting all these to my mentor to ensure i am doing what i think he expects me to do. if that stage is passed, i can focus completely on writing my thesis. so yeah technically i can start writing my thesis now.. just excluding those outputs and results first. but.. nah.. like i said i want to take a couple days to enjoy my winter break first.

anyway, i have 5 more weeks of winter break. i can afford certain level of procrastination. next week will be away for a short getaway as well. no city life.. just beach and a cozy room. until next time then, cheers.
