Sounds great!

Well, what would you expect from a pair of headphones that costs almost double that of a set of Edifier 2.1 Speakers? And what if these new headphones came from a brand which is very respected in the field of audiophile (those big thousand ringgit costing) headphones, Sennheiser? Ha...the result is an outstanding sound re-production (reproduced from any normal earphones) as witnessed by my very own ears. Yes, much (much) better than any Sony's or even the smaller Sennheiser I have. Just say it, better bass? Better treble? Clearer mid-tones? The answer is yes to all those questions. All the songs I have heard and loved never sound any better than with the PX100! Hahaha I'm so happy! Although I do feel sad for my old earphones because everytime I try to compare them with the PX100, they all seem to be greatly intimidated and become irrelevant with each listen. Huhu, how I would miss them all, buried under my desk until this new set breaks (maybe not in the near future).

And by the way, let's enjoy this moment together with this wonderful track by a band named Friendly Fires, entitled 'Paris'. (May require a sound volume increase and PX100 is recommended for a much better experience)

To be inspired

The last time i was greatly inspired by a reputable person was when the President of IMU, Tan Sri Abu Bakar gave a lecture (more of a discussion actually) in one of the English Selective course classes i attended. That's why i suggest to all junior batches in IMU to opt for English literature for selectives in sem 4. Anyway, today marks another significant moment of my life when i got the chance to meet and listen to, live, the one person i have always admired, the man who needs no introduction, our beloved 4th PM, Tun Dr. Mahathir. And like Akmar as she wrote here, i also came back from the holidays only to see Tun give a speech and later have a student dialogue session in my university. And true to his reputation, Tun gave an outstanding speech, breaking up jokes here and there. It's remarkable to see him standing straight, speaking fluently in English as he talked about how suprised he was about the progress in IMU, the role of doctors and satisfaction in life, despite of his not-so-young age.

Perhaps the quote of the day from him today would be, "Money is important for us, but more importantly is job satisfaction - seeing what you want to do being actually done.." There were at least 8 questions asked during the dialogue and here i have uploaded the one which a student asked about 'doctors leaving the country for a better pay in other countries'

His conscience was clear, as it has always been. And that's what i admire most about Mahathir.

He simply says what he means and he means what he says.
