As a soccer fan, especially for EPL fans, the recent big news is Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid. The transfer fee is the top of the world now. Sounds unbelievable? His monthly salary is 33 times higher than President of Germany.

Finally, after a bunch of events and a lot of assignments, I am currently enjoying my not so relaxing holiday. Why it is not so relaxing? Because assignments still need to prepare for the school reopen. Mixing, live event, paperworks.... it is just like never ending...

But I did really rest more and eat more during this holiday. This is my main intention for the term break.

Forgot to mention, I watched Monster Vs Alien in 3D cinema. The experience is very interesting and the effect is good. But I think I won't go for another 3D movie unless the technology can improve until I can get rid of the colour spectacles. When there is a stationary scene, the 3D effect is excellent but when there is a movement scene, what I can see is blur image. That's all. It was a pretty nice movie. It was funny, especially BOB. I think if the movie without this character, it will become quite boring.

Transformer 2 and Ice Age 3 are coming soon. CAN'T MISS IT....

Finally, I manage to get some free time to relax myself after a bunch of events and assignments. So I decided to give a summary about what has I done so far in this 5 weeks of my final year semester.

First of all, we had been told by our lecturers, Mr Isaac and Mr Lau that we need to come out 2 projects before end of the semester. One is for studio recording and another one is live events. For the studio recording part, thanks to Joel, he found a band is performing at a bar. So we decided to do a live recording and I believe that it will be very interesting and the performance of the band is good. We scheduled the recording on next Saturday. Live sound project is still searching under progress but it might be interesting.

Last week, we organised a live sound event. It was a karaoke competition and it called "Soul of Entertainment". The event was successful and we really did a great job. I was really enjoying to work with my classmates. This was the first time we really did a live event and I realised that is not a easy job.

Our mixer, SoundCraft GB2.

Setting up the mixer...

Mic stand... waiting to set up...

One of the main role, our JBL pasif speakers with subwoofer, mid range and high range.

Monitoring speaker, I think is JBL also.

So we stayed at campus because we had to do the rehearsal and performance in school. We finished the preparation on the first day and the strike on the second day, both day were busying until 11pm. So we were staying at school. We stayed at the place called LOFT. It was a great place. Fully air conditioned, wireless ready, fridge, sofa, bed and toilets. There is even much better than the place I am staying in Singapore.

Living Room....

Cool wireless router...

Kitchen...

Toilet...

Here is the boring part, for stage management module, I don't know why we need to watch 5 events for no reason because we don't even know what we need to do for these events. I have nothing to comment about the lecturer. We need to tell her what we observed every week. What a boring and nonsense lesson....

Now come to the worst part, I am having 2 Interdisciplinary Studies modules in this semester. One is Event communication and another one is World Issue: Singapore Perspective. Both of the modules are driving me crazy. I hate to write in english but these modules need to do a lot of writing assignments.

Actually, I didn't really feel i did many things in this 5 weeks and common test is coming soon. I was sick recently and I lost my voice for no reason.

I am seriously desperately hoping I will have some free time to catch some movies like X men, Star Trek, Night at the Museum and Monster vs Aliens.

I am also waiting for the releasing of new iTouch and Nokia 5730XM. I think is the time for me to change my handphone because it started to go crazy sometime, especially for the speaker. I think the connection of the speaker part started to loose. It is the sign for retirement.

Spent too much money recently as well. Don't know where is my money gone.

2 weeks never go back to JB. I am so missing my family, my mum's cook, my bed and my air cond. It is very hot here recently. Finally I can go back home tomorrow after I finish the soccer competition with my classmates.

Recently I was downloaded quite a lot of albums. I am highly recommending you to listen John Mayer's songs. He is a very good guitarist and he has a very good voice. Lady Gaga, The Fray, Ronan Keating, 3OH!3, Ciara and Beyonce also launched their latest albums recently. A korean song, it called "Nobody" also is a good song to listen. If you don't know about the song, please go to youtube to look for the music video.

Having trouble to maintain 2 email accounts? Using one of the email account more often meanwhile don't want to miss anything that receive by another account? Have no idea how to compensate with these email accounts?

Now, Michael's Top Tip is going to show you that how can you divert your email from one account to another account.

Here is the scenario. I am having a personal hotmail account meanwhile I also having a school email and this helps me to keep track for the latest update of the information from my school and my lecturers. Sometime is pretty lazy and not very convenience to check each account individually so here come the solution.

I will show the way to set it up step by step.

Step 1:
Log in to the account that you wish to divert the emails. Example, I want to divert the emails from my school account to my personal email account.


You need to set up a new contact first so later it can divert to your contact, which is the email address that you wish to divert.


Key in any information that you think is necessary, of course name and the email address are the must.

When you done just click save & close button.

Step 2:
Go to Tools tab....

Choose New Mail Rule

It will pop up a new Create Rule window.
Step 3:
Under Create conditions session, change the sender to ALL DOCUMENTS.

Then press the ADD button.

Step 4:
Under Create action session, change the 'move to folder' command to 'send copy to'.

It will add a new input bar and you need to click the button that just beside it.

It will pop up a new window that ask you to choose the contact that you want to send to.
Select the contact and press the 'ADD' button. Press OK after you done these.

Get back to the Create Rule window and press the add button to add in the action that you chosen just now.

So now you should see the exactly setting like this:
Just click the OK button and now you will get thing done.

You should be able to see the new rule that you set it just now.


Now you can divert the school emails to your personal account and also can reply to the sender. This is seriously brilliant. So you cannot find any excuses for forgotten to read your school email.

Thanks and hope it will be helpful to you.

After 12 rounds, I was back to Singapore and met with my classmates to watch another movie that we wanted to watch. Of course it was not the same day as the day I was watching 12 Rounds.


Why we decided to watch this movie majority was because this movie was starring by Jackie Chan, Daniel Wu, and Fan BingBing. We thought that the movie will be packed with a lot of action scenes. We were wrong, very wrong...

Well, if you haven't watch this movie and is considering about to watch this. I must make this clear to you. If you can't take too cruel scene, better think twice. If you are expecting the fighting scene like Jackie Chan always did, sorry this movie will definitely let you down, pretty badly.

This is quite different from what you watched of Jackie Chan production. This is not something that can make you laugh, can make you feel impressive, or something that can make you sit on the chair to enjoy the show easily. This is a movie that shows that how is the China people enter to Japan illegally. A tracktor mechanic nicknamed SteelHead (Jackie Chan) enters to Japan illegaly to look for his girlfriend and he met Jie (Daniel Wu) at Shinjuku. He starts to earn some money for his daily life while he is still searching for his girlfriend. Meanwhile, his girlfriend actually married to Japanese Yakuza leader named Eguchi (Kato Masaya). When he found out that his girlfriend was actually married to japanese, he is deeply disappointed and he met Lily (Fan Bingbing), ladyboss of a Bar. Steelhead decided to do something big and make his name famous at Shinjuku. He has his concern but things turn out to something that beyond his control and that is not actually he want. Jie's hand was been chopped by one of the leader then he decided to make the revenge for Jie. Thing started to go out of control and he can't turn it back to his simple life.

Well, this is the how this movie started. If you want to find out more, 10 bux will not be too much for this movie. Worth to give yourself a chance to watch it. Jackie Chan is really getting old and we can't always expect him to fight here and there. What I can see from this movie that actually he is trying to do something else. He is trying to bring something for us unlike those previous Jackie Chan's movies that we just watch and gain nothing.

So, give yourself a chance and also give Jackie one...

Recently I watched plenty of movies but due to the laziness and too busy for something else, finally I decided to blog about what I watched recently.

First of all, I went back and watched 12 Rounds at Jusco Tebrau. Because my friend was busying for his work at the moment so I watched it alone and of course I drove my car to there.


Why I will watch this movie although seriously the movie is just very normal, nothing too special really. The reason is because of John Cena and i don't have another movie to watch at the time. So I picked this.

About the storyline, I should just summarize it will do.

A policeman was caught a bad guy and accidentally caused the dead of the bad guy's beloved. After a few months, the bad guy was broke the prison and ran away. The bad guy decided to avenge for his girlfriend. So, the bad guy caught the Detector's girlfriend and set up a lot of so called 'rounds' for him to complete in order to save his girlfriend.

As you can expect, the detector was successfully saved his girlfriend and killed the bad guy at the end of the movie. That's it. Nothing too much to expect and fortunately the whole movie was quite packed with actions so I can manage to stay awake until the end of the show.

Nothing too much to comment. Just a normal action packed movie. Not really worth it to spend money to buy the ticket. Really....
