The Resistance!


Yes, as what was written at the title, The Resistance. The Resistance is the latest studio album from the British alternative rock band, Muse. I bought it just now, and I thought it only consists of 1 CD. When I was home I realised that there are actually 2 discs, 1 CD and 1 DVD.


It is very hard to get a shoot without much reflection, so it ended up like this, anyway, clockwise from the top left : Disc case, the booklet, CD and DVD.

The followings are the track listing:
CD:
1. Uprising
2. Resistance
3. Undisclosed Desires
4. United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)
5. Guiding Light
6. Unnatural Selection
7. MK Ultra
8. I Belong to You (+Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix)
9. Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture)
10. Exogenesis: Symphony Part 2 (Cross-Pollination)
11. Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption)

DVD:
1. The Making of "The Resistance"

Excellent album. Plain awesomeness.

My First Keyboard Instrument

Yes, I finally received my first keyboard instrument, well not today but last Saturday. I didn't think about posting it on my blog until now. And for the sake of updating my blog, it's here now.

The musical instrument that I had just received, is an electronic organ. It was left in one of my aunts' house many years ago because another aunt of mine migrated to another country and did not want to bring it along. Hence I do not know its actual age. I think it was bought about 10 years ago, but its condition is still pretty good. Anyway it did not come with the stool.
I had been playing the guitar for years and I always wanted to learn to play the keyboard instrument. I was thinking of getting a keyboard so I talked to my parents about this, and this was the time my mother suggested me to request for this organ as it was likely to be left in my aunt's house, unused.

Anyway, this is the organ.

The electronic organ, sleep mode.

The electronic organ, in standby mode.

Many types of effects, which I don't really understand.

Well, honestly I will prefer the sound of a piano than that of an organ, but never mind, I think I'll just use this for the time being. xD

First Post of the Year XD

Hmmm.. It had been quite sometimes since I updated my blog. In fact, I don't even know what's the point for me this blog up to date. I'm just too lazy to update it. xD

Anyway, I think that I did something good, well not for the society but at least for one individual.
My friend and I somehow exposed a little bit of the truth of the society to this friend of mine, who always thinks that the world is perfect that no one does the wrong thing, and you'll only see criminals in drama series. I feel, it's good to trust one another, but always remind yourself that, the people around you may not think like the way you do. Of course, I'm not telling you to betray your friends before they do anything to you, but, at least, be aware that others may do that to you. I would say, somehow, this world is not fair anymore, people who does the good deed may not get something as good as he expected.

Take a look at our world, carefully. You'll understand what I'm trying to say.
