R.I.P DKNY

Its sad that DKNY is going to cease operations in Australia. How is a big brand like DKNY losing money in Australia? Probably the many local Australian brands such as Satch and Country Road are stealing DKNY's market share. I really love DKNY....its one of my favourite brands. Maybe its a good thing that DKNY is pulling out of Australia....able to save more money!

Evrybody in Australia is going to miss DKNY. I already miss those stylish and elegant DKNY ties!

X2: X-Men United

It’s a rare occurrence that a sequel is better than the original film. However, X2 defies that movie fact. The sequel has much more special effects, more superheroes and villains and more action packed. All X-Men fans should not miss this movie. For the rest, if you miss this movie you will be missing one of the year’s best movies.

Verdict: Three thumbs up!

The Bright Side of Karaoke

Last night I spent my time watching Chinese MTVs and listening to both good and bad music. I was in a karaoke parlour with my friends. It’s been a while since I've been to a karaoke parlour.....i think it’s been nearly 2 years now. Although I didn't sing, I had quite an enjoyable time watching all those MTVs that I haven't seen before and I enjoyed my friends' company. I really think karaoke can really improve your language skills. I was really shocked and amazed when I found out many of friends who initially do not know or have little knowledge on how to read, write and converse in mandarin, knows how to sing Cantonese and Mandarin songs. Guess where they learn them? Karaoke! Frequent visits to the karaoke parlour have helped them improve their language skills.....amazing! I think I should join them more often....fun and easy way to improve my Chinese language skills.

Listening: Jordan Chan....*its in Chinese...wish i could read the title*

Soccer Fanatic Corner: Champions League

Who: Manchester United vs. Real Madrid
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester
Match type: Quarter Finals, 2nd leg
Match description: In the first leg, which was played in Madrid, Real Madrid ran out 3-1 winners. In order for Man Utd to secure a place in the Semi-finals, they must win the match by 3 goals, win the match with a score of 2-0 (win by away goals) or win the match by 2 goals (not 2-0), which forces a draw, and they must either win the match in extra time or in penalties. Confused?

Intended outcome: Man Utd through to the Semi-finals of the Champions League.
Actual outcome: Man Utd fought bravely and won the match 4-3 but went down on 6-5 aggregate. Have to give credit to Real Madrid…they were brilliant, especially Ronaldo who scored a hat-trick.

The Juggler

Gosh, I didn't know I was so good at juggling. For the past month, I have been using my juggling skills alot....Not juggling objects but juggling with my assignments and time. This is the main reason I have been absent from this blog for such a long time.

Although I’m having my Easter break now, I have to juggle with three assignments. One assignment is due during the break…which I completed and submitted yesterday. The remaining two is due after the break…sighhhhhhh. This is unfair…I should be enjoying myself during the break not enhancing my writing and juggling skills!

Anyway, I gotta go now to start on another assignment which is due in four days time. Sometimes I just get sick of studying but I think it would be better than staring at four walls the whole day in a cubicle in some office.

Before departing…. How’s everybody? Hope everybody is not suffering the same fate as I am. Grab and hold on to joy and happiness when they are around you cause they are not always there. :)
