Silence…

This song…I like

No More MV on Youtube…

Well…as you guys might have noticed…

Those from within the UK can no longer access music videos on youtube…ALL of them…Starting from 6pm yesterday (9 March), all professional MVs are being removed from British viewership…by phases..

Why?

All these while, Youtube is not allowed to broadcast vides online for free…the company pays for royalties…
In UK, they pay to a company called Performing Rights Society (PRS), which collect the money on behalf of record companies…Recently PRS came out with new agreement (which I assume is asking for more money), which Youtube could not agree on…Google, which bought over Youtube thinks that it is now too expensive to maintain those videos online…

News describe this as a row between PRS and Youtube…which is still unsolved…and currently a lose-lose situation for everyone….

Read the news HERE and HERE.

A good news for us who are doing assignments?
Bad news for juniors who will be coming over soon? =P

Probably everyone will be flocking MySpace for music videos after this…LOL

Beware of Identity Theft on Facebook

Many of us have got a facebook account and signed up for many applications…

Yet, are they really safe?

By setting up a simple third-party application and allowing users to add, BBC successfully retrieved user’s details without their consent. This showed that Facebook is not doing enough to protect the user’s identity.
Worse still, you dont need to add any applications to be a victim, you just need to be a friend to someone who does.
& if you do read those terms & conditions, you are already warned about the risk when you sign up for facebook and add applications.
Watch the report HERE.

There is also a recent case of identity theft.

The lesson…dont leave too much personal details / add too many applications on facebook

More about Glasgow Silent Rave

Hmm…read a news today…saying that Glasgow police is banning the Glasgow Central station silent rave due to safety reason…read HERE…didnt know it was organised without a permit…hmm…

& so i saw from facebook it’s moved from Central station to George Square…read HERE.

& Apparently…..it’s inspired by the “T-mobile dance” in London Liverpool Station…it was held earlier this year as part of T-mobile’s promotional gimmick…T-mobile spent 8 months to train 400 dancers for this…as a surprise for public communters that day…& as you can see…public enjoyed the surprise…LOL…wonder if this could happen in Malaysia…haha…will Maxis or Digi or Celcom do this?

Watch this…hehe…i think it’s rather cool…

Jason Mraz

Not that I’m a big fan of him…hehe…

These are few of my favourite songs lately…

I’m Yours

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I’m tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I’ll be givin it my bestest
and nothin’s gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won’t hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait
I’m yours

You & I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me?
All things are gonna happen naturally
Oh, taking your advice and I’m looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing.
Oh, but at often times those words get tangled up in a lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh, until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of, of the love
Of the love that I loved

The Remedy

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it’s serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you’re gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won’t worry my life away.

Sleeping to Dream

I’m dreaming of sleeping next to you I’m feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town
I’m counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.
And as I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes, what a beautiful sight
Sleeping to dream about you
And I’m so tired of having to live without you
But I don’t mind.
Sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired

A Beautiful Mess

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I’ve been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

Vote KK as the New Strathclyde Union President!

“YES! If i get elected…I’m going to extend my visa…stay one more year in Strathclyde to work for the better-ment of all of yoU! I promise…”

LOL…in my dreams…

Anyway…Strathclyde Union election starts today…

Have you voted? Log on to Pegasus, click here. go to “Questionaire” Section…then VOTE!!

Dont know the candidates? No problems…click here to read their manifesto & what they promise to do!

See no point of voting? Yes there is…we are voting for the right person to ensure the Union is run properly for our juniors and future Malaysian students…& most importantly, we are a major international student voice!!

Still headache dont know who to vote for?
Nvm…vote for my frens! haha…I’m asking you to vote for them not because they are my frens…but because from my experience with them I know they can do something…& I couldnt offer much help for their campaign..so..here goes!

• Deputy President? Amy Davies!
• Vice President for Support & Campaign? Kelley Temple!
• Academic Affairs Officer? Emma!!
• Student Media & Marketing Officer? ROb Harris!!
• I’ve got 2 frens running for the President…Phillip Whyte! is our Debate Club President…Yousuf! also a debate club member…he promises a Union Surau & a Subway in the Union…read their manifesto to see which one appeals to u better…
• Interestingly…there is a second year Pharmacy student running..for Equal Opportunities Officer…

So, what is the difference between Union election here & that in IMU? BIGGG Difference…

1. Every student can join SRC..But those that needs to be elected…are known as the Executive Council…
2. Union here has got ONE WHOLE BUILDING for itself! 8 FLOORS! & it is full of PUBS & CLUBS! at a cheap price…& safer cos only students with student ID can go in…
3. Union here is like a Parliament…they have debates open to students to attend & take part in deciding important University’s policy…A recent one was a meeting to call the University to terminate contract with Israel companies following Gaza war…did they succeed? I dont know…wasnt there
4. Union here runs one of the best student newspaper in Scotland…Strathclyde Telegraph!! & a student radio station = Strathclyde Fusion! It’s an online radio… Tune in to Strathclyde FUsion here.
5. They have an national student body called NUS…National Voice of Student (I dont know why NUS but not NVS). Few people in the university will be chosen in the election to represent Strathclyde students in NUS…
6. Almost half of the candidates running this year are from Debate Club! Debate Club rocks!! Juniors!! Join debate!! hehe..
7. Being the only candidate for certain post doesnt mean you get the post automatically. If students think you are incapable, they can vote for RON = Re-Open Nomination…you know what it means..
8. Most interestingly!!!! Being elected in the Union means you get a JOB!! yes..a JOB…a PAID FULL TIME JOB! a PAID 9 to 5 JOB!
9. BUt…that means you have to quit study for a year…so you either join ur juniors & graduate a year later…OR..u run for it during ur final year…Only the President, Deputy and Vices are paid tho…if not mistaken..it’s a big commitment…

So, why wait…make sure you cast you vote!!! Get involved…It’s our first but last student election in our university life…hehe…

Oh…voting starts today 5.00pm until Tuesday (tmr) 5.00pm

& Good luck to all frens who are running for positions!

Cheers
