It is all about the British alternative rock band,Coldplay which formed in London, United Kingdom in 1997. The band comprises vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion.

                The band had released four successful albums, all of which debuted at #1 on the UK album chart. Coldplay have also achieved great success with their singles, such as Yellow and Speed for Sound, was the US and UK #1 single.

The story of Coldplay as the way they formed the rockband. In the beginning, Coldplay met in the mid-90s during their first week as students at University College London, and quickly became friends. Chris began writing songs with Jonny. Guy liked what he heard, and joined in on bass. Including Will, was so keen to be part of it that he moved from guitar to drums. All four shared a passion for music, and a quiet determination to be as good as they possibly could be. They rehearsed almost every night: 'We used to play in bathrooms, the basement, even in the park,' laughs Chris. 'Anywhere we could find to play.' They was having together.

The truth was that their earlier album was good but was not good enough. That was way more to trial release. Their first two years was going smoothly with their albums. At one part they plan to give more better albums with better songs. And so Coldplay did it with completely inspired, and felt they could do anything they liked. They didn't wanted to do the acoustic thing, they didn't even wanted to do a loud rock thing and also didn't wanted to react against anything. Coldplay started seeing a lot of Ian McCulloch and trying out more brilliant things. The result was songs like Daylight, The Whisper and The Scientist splurged out over two weeks, and they recorded them very quickly.

Although still recognizably Coldplay, this album is louder than the last, more uptempo and energetic. Coldplay says `the last two years, we've been like a cultural sponge. We've sucked it all in and now it's coming out on this record. A lot of it is meant to be about drive and confidence in the face of worry and insecurity.'

In that outstanding  rock band, I personally like Chris Martin. He was born on March 2, 1977 in Devon, England and he was in a band by the time he had turned 15. He studied Ancient World Studies at University College London and worked as a sign painter before joining Coldplay. He is today the frontman of Coldplay, providing lead vocals, piano, and rhythm guitar. I like the way he convey himself by putting effort to upgrading the band. Moreover his creativity in delivering all his song. Its all way to close to his fan’s heart.

Overall the Coldplay story is a story about ambition. About four people who formed a band not to become famous or provide fresh soundtracks for TV ads, but because they wanted to write great songs, to make music with real honesty and passion. 'We were trying to say that there is an alternative,' says singer Chris Martin. 'That you can try to be catchy without being slick, poppy without being pop, and you can be uplifting without being pompous. Because we're sometimes playing quieter stuff, it's hard to sound like we're trying to change things, but we wanted to be a reaction against soulless rubbish.' That what Coldplay is…!!

“We gonna party like, like it's 2012” is the lyrics of the song ‘2012’ owned by none other than Jay Sean. Yes, he is the fantastic singer of all and of course he is my very own favorite singer. When it comes to the industry of being as a singer there are artists and there are phenomenon. Jay Sean is all of the above. The proof is in the media, the sales, the fans and above all, the music.
Jay Sean was born as Kamaljit Singh Jhooti on March 26, 1981 in Harlesden, London, United Kingdom. He is the first British Asian Indian R&B singer. ‘Jay Sean’ is a stage name that he adapted because his family affectionately called him 'Shaan' and 'J' from his MC name (MC Nicky J). He grew up in Hounslow, which is located near London Heathrow Airport, west of London. Sean started his hobby of rapping at the age of 11, in a hip hop duo called "Compulsive Disorder" with his cousin Pritpal Ruprai. He went to a private boys school and won himself a place at the Barts & the London, Queen Mary's school of Medicine & Dentistry in London to train as a doctor. After two years, Sean secured a one million pounds record deal and so dropped out to pursue his Musical career.
To talk about Jay Sean’s achievements, ALL OR NOTHING is both he’s first American release and first for Cash Money/Universal Republic Records. But while it's his debut over here, the Pop and R&B singer, song writer and producer has been a major sensation and multi-platinum artist over there since 2004 by releasing two smash albums, scoring two top ten singles, nominated for Britain's heralded MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award twice and building a worldwide and also fervid fan-base that stretches from Russia to Australia to New York City. He grew up on a cocktail of music. He was surrounded by a lot of different influences from black, white and Asian friends.
On Me Vs Myself, one of the album’s stand-out tracks, Sean takes the opportunity to controversially attack himself. It's possibly the first time that an artist has attacked himself on single. That isn’t an easy task for anyone to do it but Sean had proved it. Sean's biggest strength includes not only his multitalented vocal talents, pitch-perfect delivery backed with on-point production but the fact that as a young Asian singer, he represents a demographic entirely under-served by the majority.

As a biggest fan of him, I really adore all of his songs and also he himself. He sings with full of heart and effort that boost me all the way. Personally all of his songs touch close to my heart. For now I am really addicted to the song “Break Ya Back”. The beat, the music and of course his voice in that song really make me hyper.
Most of all, he is such a good looking guy that I ever admired. Overall, Jay Sean is the perfect guy and he is the bestest singer on earth. I wish that his work is always as good as now.

Chinese New Year

Festivals are religion or cultural celebrations. They have been celebrated for thousands of years followers of certain religion or ethnic group. In Malaysia, due to its multicultural society, festivals are celebrated almost every month. Today I am going to talk about Chinese New year Celebration.

A time for family reunions, the lion dance, firecrackers, mahjong, mandarin oranges and giving/collecting ang pow, the Lunar New Year - or Chinese New Year (CNY), as it is more commonly known in Malaysia.

Its origin can be traced back thousands of years, to the legend which tells of a fearsome mythological creature known as Nian that is said to have once terrorised China, devouring people on the eve of CNY. To ward off the beast, red-paper couplets were pasted on doors, firecrackers were set off throughout the night, and huge fires were lit.

Today, the prevalence of the colour red, and firecrackers, form part of the CNY celebrations throughout the world, as a part of custom and tradition.

The festival, which once also marked the beginning of spring in China, begins on the first day of the lunar calendar year, the first day of the new moon, and ends on the 15th day, known as Chap Goh Meh, the last day of the full moon.

However, celebrations are normally confined to the first few days and the last day. In Malaysia, the first two days are gazetted as public holidays.

Preparing for celebrations

Just like other festivals, preparations tend to begin a month prior to the New Year, when people start buying new clothes, decorations and foodstuff, houses are cleaned from top to bottom, then decorated with red lanterns, plastic or paper firecrackers, panels decorated with calligraphic characters bearing themes of happiness, wealth and longevity; and greeting cards received from friends and relatives.

The eve of Chinese New Year is celebrate with family members from far and near will return home for the reunion dinner, to revive family ties and enjoy the spectacularly prepared meals. Dinner is usually made up of seafood and dumplings, delicacies include waxed duck, prawns, braised dried oysters, scallops and “prosperity vegetables”.

After the reunion feast, entire families will try to stay up all night in observance to shou sui, a practice which is believed to bring one's parents longevity. To while away the hours, it is common for many to gamble; the sound of mahjong chips clattering against each other throughout the night is not uncommon.

At the stroke of midnight, the New Year is ushered in. Firecrackers and fireworks are prohibited, so the necessary din to herald the New Year falls upon human voices and song, and modern “improvisations” such as the recorded sounds of exploding firecrackers.

With daylight, homes again become a buzz of activity. Ceremonial candles are lit, incense burned, new clothes (red is the custom) are put on.

As is common place among Malaysians during religious/cultural festivities, Chinese families invite their relatives and friends over to their homes during CNY. Guests arrive bearing gifts of mandarin oranges, which symbolizes gold or wealth.

It is also customary for married couples to give children and unmarried adults money inserted in red packets known as ang pow, as a gesture to mean that the recipient will enjoy a fruitful and wealthy life. I enjoy myself on this magnificent celebration.
