i've never be a fan of this band. maybe the music they bring didn't suit me at all. so, i don't even bother about this band. but, somehow from nowhere i heard their song played softly on the radio's funnel was caught my ears. its not about their music but cannot deny this band plays a sensual music that combine the variety of instruments that touches the piece of what we called music in our ears. however, the most i like about this band is the lyrics they wrote to expose their songs. they use metaphors instead of going blunt to the song of their own. they make all the listeners to wonder on the objectives that they want to share. its like everything we done in our daily lives have the same main point or idea just the topic wasn't the same. like in the song of "clock". have they ever mention that we're running of time. no, the song does not straightforward but make us thing time will not wait us and it will never stop ticking. and, from what i understand in the song of "viva la vida" the ruler can also be a civilize and sometimes we on the top or sometimes we on the bottom. but, somehow i think this song only reflects the catholic thinking in them and people do change if themselves let it change. all of coldplay's lyrics do make sense from the view of me. for whom do not understand to what they try to declare please think and listen deeply and let your senses trigger altogether.
"viva la vida"
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
p/s: so what do u think huh??

Chinese New Year =)
This year, according to the lunar calendar, it is the rabbit year infact, the GOLDEN rabbit year. It brings an ample of joy and abundance of happiness to the chinese community as we reached to another year. My mother told me that this golden rabbit year is a lucky year and good year to give birth because it brings good luck to the baby.
In Malaysia, Chinese New Year is celebrated by all Malaysian community, not only the chinese, but also Malays and Indians. Everyone will greet each other 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' eventhough we are from different races. Not only that, what i can see, the concept of 1Malaysia is fully applied here. Other races also did wore red colour dresses and cheongsam, to show the respect and warm greetings towards chinese people in the Chinese New Year celebration as red symbolises the luxury and bravery.
This Chinese new year, i stayed in Kuala Lumpur and the celebration is very happening here. It is full with red bright decorations and paintings at the malls and ornaments beside the road. It shows that we embrace this celebration. Not to forget, the lion dance is showcased at many places. According to the traditional ritual that is normally done by my neighbour, the house is cleaned thouroughly before Chinese New Year to sweep away the ill-fortune and to make space for the upcoming good luck.
Once the clock strike twelve, i heard the fireworks booming in the sky, along with the pretty and colourful different patterns that brightens up the sky. The experience was really exhilarating. All the community gathered to watch the fireworks in the sky, which truly shows the unity of our nation.
