OK im finally updating. like after a gazillion years.
so.. lets start on friday!=)
on friday, i was very pissed off. haha..becuz of those councillors who wanted to take away our four long stacks of newspapers. so it goes like these..
we were having our social studies lesson when fang jun the councillor knocked on the door and announced that she's gonna collect our newspapers now. and immediately we exclaimed NO. haha..the reason is becuz they DISQUALIFIED us just SIMPLY becos of a few folded newspapers tad dun even make up the majority of these four tall stacks!and they now still want to take our newspapers away? FAT CHANCE MAN. i mean,i noe its considered cheating but HELLO? even if you kukunuts go exclude the folded newspapers in yr count of height,we still win lor! i mean,c'mon la! we have like so many newspapers ok! and we so didnt STEAL can! we ASKED FOR PERMISSION for yr information. and dey act like dey disqualify us becos we steal the newspapers and sommor fold them. -.- we ran up and down the sec 1 and 2 classes,carrying the newspapers up and down the stairs,perspiring like hell but still feeling happy,got our fingers all black and in a totally messy and low-class unrefined state JUST TO GET DISQUALIFIED? HA! wad joke. we will not allow such unreasonable demands to meet. we must make a stand! and so our class and 36(they were disqualified too)were like discussing wad we shld do with the newspapers. and den we decided to carry them all to an empty field and start burning them like nobody's business,meanwhile dancing arnd the fire singing happy songs and aso video-ing down everything to let the councillors see to agitate them! imagine-
we: hey look at the beautiful video we took of our campfire last night! councillors: wow! wad did u use to burn ? we: oh,nth really. we just used the whole eight stacks of newspapers frm our class and e6 to create these wonderful and lovely effect! councillors: oh my! you all burned away the precious newspapers we were going to collect from u all! oh my poor poor newspapers! now the school can't get more money !! =((((( we : oh really? sorry! =D
hahahahaha..sweet. lols!! ok la..no lka we were got so evil(mwahahaha),we just decided to sell dem to the galang-guni man to earn bucks. tads the more constructive way.=) so when those councillors came our class to collect the newspapers, we got into a heated debate with them,telling them we already called the galang-guni man to come our school to collect the newspapers.(we really did) if dey did not disqualify us for petty and selfish reasons in the first place,nth would have happen. we spent so much time and effort and strength and manpower to stack up these four stacks and all our efforts had gone to waste just like that. by doing to do it tis way,dey killed all our interest in this kind of activity and we will not participate actively in the next cip project. tads what'll happen. so there. haha..we managed to shoo them away and they were like irritating flies, hovering outside our classrooms thinking of a way to lay hands on our newspapers . then after two unsuccessful attempts,dey resorted to using the authority of a teacher,mr yeo. so he came to our class and tried to persuade us to give up our newspapers. to say the truth,he really didnt hear the side of our story and like the councillors,thought tad we 'steal' the newspapers. it was really very unfair to all of us. but we all just kept quiet. later,when the galang-guni man came in his van, we all helped to carry the newspapers down.. and stacked evrything while the galang-guni man tied them up and placed it at the back of his van. hahaa..it was actually quite an experience. then the man gave us some money(cannot say how much becos who noes?maybe some councillor is readin my blog now and pans to reveal the amt)which we kept some and gave some to the school for the student needy fund. how nice of us,after all dey have done to us. but anyway, after this incident,i realised my class is quite united. in the area of newspaper collection. hhhahaa..=)
ok. so btw, alan wrote on our board that day regarding the chalet stuff. den as usual,there were spelling mistakes that huiyun happily pointed out to me. haha.. he spelled 3 STORY BUNGLOW instead of 3 storEy bungAlow. -.- hahaha.. and he spelled my name on the class list wrong too. pig. x)
after school tad day,i went to rehearse my cldds play for the competition on sat. from 2,we rehearse till 5plus. i like my play becos its different from last times,it is more sophisticated,more mysterious,more ppl,more fun and laughter. to put in simple,i like cldds.=P ha..tads mushy.
WELCOME:)

Michael Jackson, King of Pop
If I were to write this post one week ago I wouldn't have got past the first few lines, without crying so badly.
Admittedly, the news of his passing did not bothered, much less saddened me because my impression of him was vague and as a child I wasn;t exposed to any of this songs or videos, just news from the press every now and then. Till a few days after his death. I went on Youtube and before I knew it I was clicking videos after videos, watching and in awe of this man who not only served to entertain, but strived to serve the community with his enormous heart. And as I watched on and knew more, so much more about what he've been through his life, emotions started pouring in. And when I least expected it, tears started to come. I was never his fan, but now I regret not being one. It is not just one of those idol craze or whatever no, it was true sincere admiration for his works and humanitarianism that touched me, that made me look upon him as a role model.
Its hard to believe that since the media had portrayed him as some wacko freak, paedophile, child molester..etc. but may I say, BULLSHIT. he is none of that sort. Other than being the greatest entertainer of the time and coming up with the most original dance moves that many stars tried hard (but pale in comparison in my opinion) to imitate, Micheal Jackson shares the love he has, especially to children, to people around him. He was a philanthropist, donating millions of dollars to the record 39 charities he supported, and raising more through his own Heal the World Foundation. He built NeverLand Ranch, complete with amusement parks, fun rides, a place where children dreamed of going for fun and laughter. From young, Michael Jackson had a childhood very different from others, where had to perform at a very young age. When he made mistakes, his father used to beat him, and not only with a belt.
To make up for his lost childhood, Michael had always adored children and he himself is somehow like a child trapped in an adult body (watch his documentary, ignore the stupid bastard interviewer who was plain bias and selfish to see that such a nature still exists in a man so great he just had to bring him down. shall not waste time elaborating on this backstabbing ass because he's simply not worth it. If you're interested, watch the documentary Living with Michael Jackson on youtube. I could'nt get past to the last few parts because I got so fed up with his narrow-mindedness and ignorance that I closed the window). So back to the point. Michael Jackson brought orphans to NeverLand, where they play freely in the theme parks and find joy and laughter, which he himself derive more than anyone else' from the happy looks on their faces. Children were invited for sleepovers at his place, because it was safe, secure. But when news of him being a child paedophile arose after being charged by one of the kids who slept in his room, he ended up paying millions of dollars aside from being publicly humiliated and disgraced. because he did nothing disgraceful of that sort. because a few years later the kid owned up that it was his parents who made him to do, succumbed to the temptation of money, something which Micheal Jackson do not lacked. The father was tape-recorded discussing his intention to pursue charges, where he said, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". It was painful. Yet Michael still persisted, years later, in bringing less fortunate children to NeverLand, because that was more important to him. Even though the pain and hurt he had gone through had probably never healed. His strength is one of the reasons why I admire him so much.
Then there was another incident, this time of him 'dangling' his baby over the window. 'omg he's crazy he wants to throw the baby down!!!!' maybe that's what it seemed like on tv and on papers, but what they didn't show is the crowd of fans below the hotel he's staying, yelling his name and wanting to also see his baby. So Michael showed them his baby, his hands wrapped under his baby's arms so tight and pulled him back as fast as he could. But what did the viewers see? A slowed-down version of him apparently dangling his baby in mid-air like a bad father. Its ignorance if people believed he was going to actually throw his own baby down the building. And at that time, I was one of the ignorant ones. I remembered looking at the pictures on some gossip magazine and felt slightly freaked out. But now I realise how much he loved his children, and how hard he tried to protect them from the media. And again, all these negative press and biasness probably was too overwhelming....how much pain can a person take? we would never know because we're not him, its hard to understand. But maybe all these people will leave him alone now, since he's already gone.
I bought The Essential Michael Jackson cd, a compilation of hit songs by him. My dad and I watched his concerts and performances and music videos and we were more than in awe, in fact I think thats an understatement. Newfound respect and admiration for the man who was so creative and original, who dared to do things not commonly seen, creating dance steps while he sang at those times when most singers just stood there and sung. He thought of challenging and exciting music videos where people had never seen the injection of extra footage to create a kind of story. And not to mention those crazy vocals, coordinated dance moves, the famous moonwalk (I never get tired of it) and this amazing 45degree tilt he does which simply blows my mind away. It was all his signature style, the gloves, the crotch-grabbing whatever. Every single performance was done in class and so much more. He was an inspiration to people over the world, different races, and especially to African-Americans. He was an icon and also their pride.
I can rattle on and on because there's too many things about him that are truly inspiring and simply awesome but sometimes words just cant fully express it. And yes maybe I do seem a little bias but this is what I truly feel. My only regret is that I have and will never get the chance to attend one of his mind-blowing concerts and be one of those lucky fans who felt the presence of Michael Jackson, the most successful entertainer of all time, the King Of Pop.
'Smile, even though your heart is aching.'
This is one of the lyrics from his favourite song 'Smile', written by Charlie Chaplin and was sung during his memorial.
I remembered someone said something like this during the memorial, 'Even though we need him here, but I guess God needed him more'. Even though we miss him so much, Heaven is probably the place he needs to be, away from any pain, suffering or cruelty. (rhymes!) He has already achieved so much and left behind a wonderful legecy that will pass down to generations after generations.
Thank you Michael.
