  5. Yosh!

    My university's name was not there. I wonder why...maybe because our university is more on Engineering and doesnt have a lot of courses...

    hahaha...

  11. Its ok dear...

    BTW, the first song in my list is "HERE IN MY HOME" by MALAYSIAN ARTISTE FOR UNITY...

    I can tell you that the song is really awesome, in fact, I kept listening to it everyday~

    Jay Chou's songs are in the tracks as well. Maybe not from this album, but he has a good voice and really talented.

    I hope I can post about it later, but u can try to find those in YouTube.

    This is the link for MALAYSIAN ARTISTE FOR UNITY.
