Classic

This few days I have been listening to classic song and watching classic comedy show. They are so marvelous and I am recommending you guys to watch and listen to it.
I watched Eddie Murphy Delirious(1983) and Raw(1987). Not that old show but I wasn't born yet! So I considered it as an oldies. I haven't finish watching it though. :)


It's a talk show not a movie show, where in this movie Eddie Murpy will make some jokes. Oh, I must warned you guys before watching it. The show contains a lot of foul languages, so now you can expect what jokes he can make. Watch it guys!

The classic song that I talked about is from Bee Gees. Currently, I like their songs called "Staying Alive", "Alone", "More than a Woman" and "Massachusetts". Frankly speaking, I dont know what they are talking about in the song. It's quite difficult to listen to their lyric. Trust me! but if you guys can catch what they are singing, I admire you. Staying Alive and Alone are the difficult one. Well, that's currently Bee Gees songs that I like. Probably will like more songs from them, since I haven't listen the rest of their songs.

This is what happened when ACCA had picked up the wrong candidates into their failure list

Today my lecturer showed me a very good article found on BBC news, here is the article

'Jihad on accountants' man jailed
A man has been jailed for two years for sending dozens of letters to mosques around the UK urging their members to launch terror attacks on accountants.

Malcolm Hodges, 44, from Sittingbourne, Kent, bore a "festering grudge" against professional accountancy bodies more than a decade after he failed an exam.

The Old Bailey heard he claimed in the letters, sent in November 2006, he was a follower of Osama bin Laden.

He pleaded guilty on Tuesday to recklessly encouraging terrorism.

The court was told he wrote in the letters: "Brothers, you are right to kill the infidels but you are making a mistake to try to attack planes and other targets."

He said Muslims should instead focus their "jihad" on four accountancy bodies.

"Brothers, striking at these targets will be striking at the infidels where it hurts most," he said.

'Real risk'

Paul Taylor, prosecuting, said Hodges had never accepted that he failed an exam set by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in 1998 and had been in dispute with the organisation ever since.

The court heard the ACCA took the threats seriously and spent more than £140,000 on security measures.

David Burgess, defending, said Hodges had nursed his obsession for years and sent letters to the royal family, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor seeking redress for the "grave injustice" done to him.

He was due to be married in May last year but his fiancée returned home to the United States after his arrest.

Judge Jeremy Roberts told Hodges: "There was a real risk that if one of your letters had fallen into the wrong hands there might have been a terrorist atrocity and people might have been killed or seriously injured."

But he accepted Hodges, from London Road, Teynham, suffered from a "seriously abnormal mental condition" likely to be "some form of personality disorder".

WORST YEAR EVER but....

First of all, I am going to write this blog with the broken english, so please pardon me if I have grammatical error and so on. I am just a human being, bound to make mistake, but of course i will correct it if I have done something wrong. By starting to write blog, I will have chance to improve my english as well. 
Well.. year 2009 could be my worst year in the history of my life. It was started in the February, where all the bad things being tested on me such as failing 2 papers at once and some 'other' stuffs that i would like it to be remained secret.
When I learned that I fail my exam, I feel so bad about it as because i may need to delay my career life. Of course, when you delay your career, you will still have to be dependant to your parents which is something that i really don't want to be. 
Yes.. The problems are so stressful.And when I feel stress i like to hurt myself physically or listen to music as loud as possible. Amazingly, it works pretty well on me. I know it's not gonna solve the problems, but I need to relieve myself sometimes. After a while I know that hurting yourself physically is kinda stupid, so I had stopped doing it and move to listening to music loudly. Of course this would cause a hearing problem as well. 
Anyway, this semester I am going to take 4 papers, which I know it's kinda heavy to complete all. I would like to say thanks to my friends who have already supported me in this decision. Although some of them suggesting me not to take 4 papers at once. I wanted to say thank you too probably they don't want me to be so stress out and fail again. 
I met my lecturer yesterday, he is very good lecturer. Although he knew that I failed 2 papers from his class, he is still encouraging me to meet him if I need any help. Frankly speaking, I have never been treated this way from my study in Indonesia and also Malaysia. 
Lastly, although this may be the worst depressing year and I believe this will be the year that I will learn the most.
