Well,today I did some refreshments on my blog,like setting up a new CBox and doing some new page elements...and deleting some...

My review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(PC)

GTA:San Andreas is the newest title to the infamous GTA series and believe me,this game packs a bigger punch!!In GTA 3 and GTA VC,you only get to roam in one city,but in San Andreas you get to travel 3 cities(Los Santos,San Fierro & Las Venturas).

Graphics:7/10

Don't expect beautiful graphics in this game,most of the details and cars are not refined but still acceptable.....

Gameplay:10/10

Come on!!Grand Theft Auto=Liberty to do anything!!!You can follow the storyline and play through missions or just cause destruction wherever you go...there are many cars to drive around and these cars are "mod-dable" like in NFS:MW.There are mant new features that are not present in other GTA games too:

1)Gang Wars-In Los Santos there are 3 main gangs(Groove Street,Ballas,Varrios)You as CJ the protoganist of the game is representing Groove Street and you need to capture your opponents territory...1st,you infiltrate your enemies gang land and kill their gang members,this instantly provoke the gang and start a gang war..kill as many enemies gang member until you full control thier part of the territory...
2)Gambling-Well,you go to Las Venturas and gamble..(BTW,Las Venturas is Las Vegas)
3)Customize your Characters appearance-From Clothes,shoes,tattos,hair cuts...
4)Ability to Swim and Climb

any many more!

Besides that,GTA:San Andreas is a very open game as in you can modify almost everything in the game like cars,buildings,textures or even the whole game!!!

Sound: 7/10

Like every GTA games,there will be radio's that broadcast songs from the timeline of the game.In this case is the early 90's.I was quite dissapointed by the selection and preferred Vice City's which has more memorable hits from Micheal Jackson,Mr.Mister,Pointer Sisters and many notable 80's artists.

Value:8/10

The game is really worth the price,(under 30 aus $ if I'm not wrong)only it's a SP game so don't expect Multiplayer.You have plenty of reasons to keep it until you have your pension(just don't let your grandchildren play it ok?

Total Score:

80%(A)

Despite getting a 80%,it still my favourite game of all time!!

My PMR

Well,looks like I have finished my PMR and currently enjoying my "holiday"!!From what I can see PMR is pretty easy,hope I can score a lot of A's!!:D

Now I know that I can get A for geography while my Math's objective is 37/40,so I think I'm on the right track!XD Wish me luck!!!

TOP 10 POP SONGS
Pop is contemporary music and a common type of popular music .The term popular music does not refer specifically to a single genre or sound, and its meaning is different depending on the time and place. Within popular music, "pop music" is often distinguished from other sub-genres by stylistic traits such as a dance-able rhythm or beat, simple melodies and a repeating structure. Pop song lyrics are often emotional, commonly relating to love, loss, emotion, or dancing. Pop music may include elements of rock, hip hop, reggae, dance, R&B, jazz, electronic, and sometimes folk music and various other styles.The broad appeal of pop music is seen to distinguish it from more specific types of popular music, and pop music performers and recordings are among the best-selling and most widely known in many regions of the world.

TOP 10 DANCE SONGS
Electronic dance music is a style of popular music commonly played in dance music nightclubs, radio stations, shows and raves. The term dance music is usually used for more commercial forms of Electronic music (popular & dance). However, both dance music and electronic dance music is made electronically for dancing. Styles include hip house, trance, techno, funk, and many others.

Electronic dance music experienced a boom after the proliferation of personal computers in the 1980s, many music genres that made use of electronic instruments developed into contemporary styles which enabled computers, synthesizers, sound cards, samplers and drum machines to control one another and achieve the full synchronization of sounds. Electronic dance music is typically composed using computers and synthesizers, and rarely has any physical instruments. Instead, this is replaced by digital/electronic sounds, with a 4/4 beat.

Tina Turner - Goldeneye

Well,this is the James Bond theme for the movie "Goldeneye",starring Pierce Brosnan and this is his first James Bond outing.Personally,this is my favourite Pierce Brosnan's James Bond movie and a wonderful theme song to go with it.

Tina Turner as the singer,who could have imagined!Initially there was a song used for this movie but was pulled of and replaced with this song. Compared to the earlier song from Ace of Base(with the same song title)this song sounds more "James Bondish"but AoB's song is more linked to the movie.Music format is a little weird as the chorus ahs more words than the verse which is uncommon in many songs.

Here's the music:


Here's the Video:



Here's the lyrics:


Verse 1:
See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Chorus 1:
Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he'll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind
You'll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears Ive cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

Verse 2:
See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldnt let him out

Chorus 2:
Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chains take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I'll show him forever
It will take forever to see what Ive got

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It's a gold and honey trap Ive got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss this time I won't miss
Now I've got you in my sight

With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye....

DREAMS

28/8/1963,Washington D.C.,The great Martin Luther King gave one of his most famous speech,"I Have a Dream".

One part of it was:
"I have a dream,that one day on the red hills of Georgia,the sons of former slave owners and and slaves will sit down together at the table of brotherhood...."

In the end,He not only won the Nobel Peace Prize of his works but made the African Americans equal in status to the white americans.

In fact,we do not need to go "international" to find wonderful dreams!Our "Bapa Kemerdekaan" Tunku Abdul Rahman dreamed of uniting Sabah,Singapore,Brunei and Sarawak.Yes,Brunei declined the offer,but on 16/9/1963,MALAYSIA was formed.Our 4th Prime Minister Tun Sri Dr. Mahathir Muhammad has a vision which all of you referred to as "Wawasan 2020" enough said.

Our very own Principal Mr.Joseph Wong has a dream that is also SMK Hamid Khan's vision,which is to make SMK Hamid Khan a "sekolah cemerlang" by 2010.Even our own Pn.Au has her fair share of dreams too,which you all know is winning the "Recycling Competition" and get RM10000 for our school!!!

Dreams may sound like a waste of time to most of you,but it important in shaping out goals.Some advantaged of having a dream is that you can get an idea of our plan and thus,planning our next move.One example is that you want to be a doctor or maybe a scientist,so what do you do?You try to excel in Science and get into science-stream classes.And then you get a degree and BOOM!!!You have the qualifications to be a doctor!!

With dreams,we have a greater desire to succed in whatever we are doing,one example is me.My mother promised me to buy me a MP3 provided I get good results,and so I really worked hard and got no.1 for 2 times and no.2 in the 3rd term.

To summarize the whole speech,dreams are important to us because "Victory is in the hands of those who dare to dream".
