For some of us, at least for me, we can’t listen to songs with lyrics when trying to memorise facts of which Economics is the worst culprit of them all. The lyrics just distract me from memorising. So, I turn to acoustic music, that is music without lyrics, that usually come in the form of soundtracks.

My interests in soundtracks can be traced back to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack which I have already written to death here. For those who want to know though, the third Return of the King Complete Recordings is going to be released in the midst of our A-Levels on November 6. For some kind souls who have spare cash, please consider a Christmas gift for me with all three complete recordings

So far, there has only been five “entertainment” (mixture of movies, TV Show and anime) that has wow’d me with their soundtracks:
– Lord of the Rings (duh!)
– Lost
– Eureka seveN
– Death Note
– Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Of course, there is also the once in a while song or two that sounds good but these are my top five in no order. As again, here are some of my selected songs for your listening pleasure. A mix of upbeat, majestic and soft music.

Well, in case you were wondering about the seemingly music themed entries nowadays, let’s just say that I’m in this mood right now to write these kind of posts.

I have been tracking my mobile phone usage statistics since the start of this year and i thought perhaps it’s time to publish a three-quarter report! I shall comment on the general trend and account for them!

First up: talk time. This includes any voice calls and video calls.

There is a general decreasing trend in the number of minutes I spend on the phone. I account this for my increasingly isolation from the WORLD into my own little corner of the universe. Jokes aside, I don’t usually make much calls anyway so this trend doesn’t really mean much. It might spike up again any time soon. Anyway, the huge spike during May was due to the organizing of VICOMP which took up a lot of my time and energy.

There is a general stable trend in the SMS usage hovering around the upper end of 300. That’s a good sign though because I can keep to my free SMS limit. The spike during May is of the same origin as above. The high count in January is probably an after-effect of the December holidays.

And that’s the end of the report. If you are bored, here is the excel file used.
