Happy Chinese New Year everyone.... its the year of the pig in 2007. Wish u all a prosperous new year that u have nothing to worry like a pig, sleep well like a pig, eat well like a pig, rest well like a pig, and most of all OINK like one too

 Its me birthday today as well... turning 22 is interesting yet scary... but its all good... time to make decision to make a change and be presistant in achieving what i really want and long to do . Let this year be a year full of suprises, creativities, passion, advantures and challenges. So where is my present....???

Here....

It is the Sony Ericsson K800i... its expensive.. felt guilty when mum and dad bought it for me ... its my graduation gift... but even without this gift ... sending me to study and them being my parents are already a HUGE gift..   anyhow it shall be my 22nd Birthday and is my Graduation Gift of 2006.    I am happy

After sitting at home for awhile trying not to think so much about stuff.... yet reality will soon set in ... 2 more days and i am back in Adelaide... somehow i look forward and yet not as the same time ... cuz there are just too much to acticipate in life and this year .. no more bull-ing my way thru assignments anymore .. more responsibility .. more creativity put down onto papper (hopefully) ... and much more...

Well being home is fun and also somewhat interesting at the same time ... meeting ppl, smsing my way with friends whom i havent met for ages, watching friend finding their dreams and working towards their passion (never cross my mind my childhood friend would be teaching and dancin and owning a dance studio) .. but hey...

"work towards your passion , you will never know where it would bring you to"

Happy new year and may everyday be happy for u all.... God bless ...

p/s did i mentioned that celebrating bday and cny on the same day sort of felt cheated... cuz i have less a day of celebrating my own day... hahaha ...but then again more ang pow's .. hehe ..

I was suppose to study and study very hard for exams then, but i stumble upon this band "mae".  Went on toe WIKIPEDIA and type.... or search for .... MAE...

this came up:

"Mae is an indie rock group that formed in Norfolk, Virginia in 2001. Jacob Marshall and Dave Elkins began what would become Mae by writing their first song, "Embers and Envelopes", in Marshall's living room. Their name is an acronym of Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, which comes from a theory called aesthetic theory, explored by Marshall while a student at Old Dominion University." (Wikipedia, 2006)

What caught my eye is the acronym - "Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience "

then i further explore that acronym... and look what i found...

____________________________________________________________

"is a THEORY developed by Jacob Marshall, the drummer of the Norfolk, VA based rock band Mae (obviously named after the theory). Marshall developed the theory as a self-created major at Norfolk's Old Dominion University. MAE deals with the translating of sensory experience across modes. ( too deep?  ) 

---> In other words, taking a passage of sound that evokes an emotion and translating that into a visual, based on all of the different variables that contribute to it.

The MAE theory primarily concerns art's ability to affect multiple senses simultaneously.

Marshall said that he had based a lot of his research off of people with synesthesia and perfect pitch.

An example of the theory includes the translation of music into an associated color. For example, his lack of knowledge of written music inspired Jimi Hendrix to supposedly communicate his musical ideas to his band-members through the description of the music's associated colors." (wikipedia, 2006)
