(This is wat i wrote in sgforums.com,commenting on illegal downloading)
I do have some comment on this "illegal downloading" issue.
Firstly, i dont see wat's the point of tracking down downloaders when Mp3 players are selling all over in the country. By allowing mp3 players to be sold in the country, the country should knows well that people will download songs and transfer into their mp3 players. Dont give me the crap that people can get their own CDs and rip it in... The government is telling the people that everyone can own up CDs with about 30GB?
Secondly, some albums are really trash,only about 3 tracks are nice or should i say "listen-able", and the remaining 7-9 songs are just crap. So u are expecting us to get those album? Hello?
I use to keeps buying album in the past, but i found out most of them doesnt meet my expectation as i think they would be before i got them. I still buy albums these days. But wat i do?First,i download them, I listen to the albums, wether it is worth it. If they are, i still buy them. Downloading actually press on the music industries and push them to make better music to fight with so call "downloading" world.
So the Government thinks that they will really be able to stop the country for downloading by just catching 10 plus people so far? Please, We are not stupid, Trust me, no one would ever stops. At most, they will only stop for a moment and start all over again.
So why catch the people? God damn please, Dont give me that crap that police officers dont download? Look at the cd prices nowdays... $16 - $22 per album?
That's half of my allowance per week. Dont tell me it's for copyright as those are the effort of the singers. Well alright, we can't affor, so we download.
Download,on the other hand promotes songs too at the same time. first,i heard a nice song from the radio,second,i download it off the net,if i found it nice,i download more of his/her songs,then if it's really worth,i'll still get them in the end.
Slove the problem from its root, not its seeds, make us buy,rather then forcing us buy.
Felt kind of boring... So i guess i'll update my blog a little.
Yesterday, it's my first time going to Santosa! Ermm...."it's like wtf, 1st time???" for some of your reaction.... Ya,1st time -.-...
It started off badly... Ky,Marc and Des were requested by me to meet up at 883 so that i can get my contect lens. Well... We agreed on 12.30 but des reached on 1.16...And marc finally got the feeling of waiting for people after himself for being late for so many times! Well...at least sometthing have been acheived...LOL.
There goes my new nickname "troblesome" by Ky... Sounds funny to me! haha. Ky was fooling around in the spec shop, trying out nice specs... He "fasion show" ends after i mentioned "oi,u got money anot?"... haha.
We then made Des meet us at a bustop after he called and said he dont feel like coming..."must be mapling."
While wating, Ky was trying out my new game "Fifa 07" on my Psp...WOW,he really likes that! A Qihua kid then appeared at the bustop looking at Ky and said in chinese "PSP! I also have, let me see what game are u playing." While, there goes another asshole "i also have it" kid... He then wants to get a glim of wats on the psp screen when KY is concertrating on his upcoming goal...Then the kid spoken again "Hey dude(in a acting american way accent), dont be so selfish,let me see!" By then, Marc and me were laughing at this kid making a fool of himself with his showoff and "wannbe" att...
OKOK, i know, im being too slow, i write faster and cut those crap if u dont like it...lol.
We then meet up with Choonmin and Long who claims that they had their leg twisted when they tried to avioded a crashing bus approuching...
We then headed to Ky's house in Red Hill to get himselve changed as marc and him gone to sch earlier on...Ky house was nice not forgettig his nice grandpa who served us some very tasty pear...
We then head to Santosa and when we reached there,it's already 5 plus...."god damn...."
We meet up with class 4/1 people, Felicia,Wei Ting,margret,mun Ling,bernerd and clerence(some name may be spelled wrongly). We then played douged ball,volly ball and soccer on Palawan beach. Long kicked the ball too high onces and have it stucked on a coconut tree. A guy(who we got know by wabting us to join him to play some sort of funny games earlier on) then went up the tree and rescue our ball! LOL bravo!
It's getting late,everyone then went to the toliet and bathe...Wa so shoick! lol.Bu tthen i guess all took about 1 hour while the rest are waiting and straving...lol,We then went makan at Harbour Front and went off...
Actually, yesterday suxs as we spend most of the time waiting people,take MRT,take bus and stuff...Only about 30% of the time is really enjoying ourselve...ok...that's it for the day,hope u guys enjoy the time on my blog .
Well... last week, 4 days of examination for N Level's... I guess it's alot of stress for everyone. Everyone was perparing for the final push.
History's SEQ questions are really *TOOT* up...They asked about something which is not even in the textbook for the War In Europe Question, forcing me to do Nazi... Shit it...
Let's jump a couple of days to friday. After our Last paper, my class were cheering in the hall as that's our last paper while the other dudes in the other classes are helpless...lol! Great feeling.
AT 5.30, i meet up with Zheng Kang,Shu Ehi,Kim,Dennis,Desmond and Alene, heading to Marina Bay to makan steamboat...Desmond was late and we didnt have much peace as kim and Alene were making fun of him for being late...I was then dragged in as i buy my MRT card last min and delay the rest...
We were then delayed again in the train as it stucked for about 4 times... Some tech fault la... I guess it's because Kim was on the train...lol
When we reached there, 2 boss are fighting over us to eat in their place... Quite shitty...In the end, we pick some other place...
We killed lots of life prawns because of Kim -.- ....She sure does eats alot....lol. Alene was then drank after 500ML of Tiger Beer...She then started to act weiredly...lol.
After the meal, we went off to play game.... then go home.
Des and me then go find Long,YP and choonmin at fushan garden playing candles...lol.
