kay... spent pretty much the whole day downloadin n sortin out the music library in my computer. i dont keep music forever. there'll b time where i listen quite frequently, n once tt stops, where i hardly play the song, i delete it. i dont see any point in keepin it. unless its like a smash smash hit. n if at any case, if i suddenly start thinkin bt the song, i'll juz download it again. but i might need to download every single song i know after my A levels. y? coz once i go to uni, n in american uni, students r forbidden to use any file sharin software, as far as i know. students who apply for in dorm connection in Yale has to go for a lecture tt briefs students about downloadin coz quite a lot of unis make up majority of the percentage of law cases regardin music piracy. this takin into consideration the amount of power students hav wif college cable, tt's so much faster than even home cable lines. so wat i'm proposin to myself, is tt i download every single song i ever heard of, n burn them as data CD n build a massive library of music, so tt if i ever hav to come across any feelin tt says 'i feel like listenin to tt song now,' all i gotta do is access the library, n voila! i've got em. i wont b able to download music from dorm so i gotta make do wif tt.

yea, so i'll b doin tt after my A's. but for today, downloaded a lot of reggae. I juz love Sean Paul's voice, so i downloaded whatever i could find that had his name. the new single out in the music market now is his collboration wif beyonce knowles in 'baby boy' sounds v nice when he sings coz he raps so fast n so rhythmically.

after tt, i finally got to watch 'The Professional' which i had been wantin to for days. just couldnt find the right time to. i own the VCD, n its one of my all time favourite movie. it stars Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and then the unknown young Natalie Portman, she was only about 11 or 12 then. so i wasnt surprised when she suddenly became a well know star with Mars Attack and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Manace. I more or less followed her since The Professional since i was impressed wif her acting. So yea, basically the show is bt Jean Reno, a hitman, befriendin Natalie Portman whose family is wiped out by corrupted DEAs headed by Gary Oldman. So Natalie Portman wants to take revenge by learnin how to kill from Jean Reno, n on the course of doin so, the two becomes very close n some sorta like eachother. But things kinda turn ugly in the end when Portman decides to take things into her own hands n screws up. Gary Oldman tracks their location n gets the whole police department to kill Jean Reno. Jean Reno, tryint to save Natalie Portman, lets her escape while he took care of the problem by himself. He almost manages to escape disguises as an injured SWAT guy, but Gary Oldman sneaks past his theatrics n guns him down, only to realise Jean Reno read the possibilities n pulled the ring from the grenades on his body. its a low budget but very abstract movie. its one of those very few tt makes me wanna cry at the end when Natalie Portman has to live by herself havin lost the very man who rescued her.

at this pt, i think i wanna recollect some of my favourite movies of all time; (in no order of merit coz its too hard)
The Matrix (i refuse to believe there was a sequel. but i'm givin the third installment another chance)
The Professional
The Patriot
Gladiator
Snatch

there definately r some i missed out, but for now tt's wat i can come up with.

yea.. played some soccer again after the movie, but wasnt as enjoyable as yesterday.

hmm.. tt's it... quite plain sunday. gonna start muggin for prelims again tomorrow. n my cousin from bangladesh is comin over to singapore for business i heard. most probably he'll come to my place for dinner, so lookin forward to seein him. he's real funny.
