Music anyone?

Hm.. Questions: Why do we create music? And why do we listen to music? I believe music is some sort of medium, like poems and stories, a medium for self expression. The many personalities of people, give birth to genres in music. Music is in fact a melodious way to share your feelings and thoughts to others. And we listen to music to enjoy them. If you ask me, what sort of music do I listen to, I find it kind of hard to choose a particular genre. I listen to all sorts of music. From baroque to downright heavy metal. I never really stick to just one genre at particular times, because I just go with what I want to listen. My playlist is a mix of Bach's, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, Nobuo Uematsu, Within Temptation, Slipknot, Metallica, and some others. Some believe that we can analyze the person's personality through the genre of music he listens to. Well, what that makes of me then? Sometimes I got too absorbed into 'Toccata & Fugue in D Minor' and sometimes I got all happy with Sum 41's 'In too Deep'. But sometimes, it's not the lyrics that important, but the melodies. Ever get the chills of listening to tunes or the 'bridge' in a song? I have. Even listening to instrumentals can give me chills. Good music is when the music can touch the listener's very soul. It differs to every people. Like me, when I listen to 'Toomba' by Saaien Zahoor, I didn't get the vibe. I tried listening to it a couple of times more, but failed to grasp the feel like it did to Dr Jaya. It made me wonder whether I was a deaf tone or something. But I realized the acceptance is different to every people. (and I'm still listening to Saaein Zahoor, because I realize 'Toomba' is seriously a great song. It does have a soothing effect..)

New semester, JK again..

NO, I'm not regretting the fact JK's teaching us for this sem, again. Frankly, I'm glad, really glad. JK means fun. I mean, where else can you find anyone like him? Coz he's the one and only. Truthfully, I NEVER get anyone like him to teach me in class. I was a sad kid. Same old teachers, treating the students like they own the world, work our butts off to finish the syllabus, no fun at all. I learned things, yes, but never enjoy the lessons as much as during JK's classes. Well I could pick up a few things from him as well, like how to be a fun teacher, without neglecting the lesson, of course. I don't know if you'll read this or not Dr Jaya, but I want to say thank you, for really making our lives easier. It's because of your generosity that we're able to 'breathe' throughout the semester. Sometimes knowledge is not only achieved through books... At least learning from you means not staring at bunch of notes which we'll forget right after the exams..
