OKOK. =) i went to the Children's Aid Society(Melrose)today. as part of CE. As we reached there,we saw orphans in the playground.. running about and playing.. we were all in those oh-look-how-cute mode when we saw them but it immediately become a oh-how-rude mode soon as we stepped closer. haha becuz they,althou much younger dan us,kinda initally refused to talk to us. screaming 'SHUT UP!' at us. so much for 'cute little orphans'. But of course tads not gonna bring us down,althou abit surprised and irritated. lols. After hearing a briefing about the children's home and a mini tour arnd the home,looking at the dormitories(its like snow white and seven dwarfs!cuz the beds were lined two rows down,the the fairytale,except of cause der were more beds in the room.),we were then allowed to mingle with the kids. the guys were to go up the hill to play soccer with the young boy kids while the girls play with them at the playground..arnd the table.. we were all pretty 'shy' at first..but we took the first step to go and talk to them in those big 'sisterly' tone(haha)and volunteering to play games with them. but apparently,the tone wasnt of much use. haha..dey were all so playful! they were scurrying arnd the playground,kicking things and climbing up and down so much tad we found ourselves wincing at their actions and busy saying 'careful' to them.. hahaha...they are so active! then after many failed attempts to get them to play 'lao ying zhua xiao ji'(lols!), i decided to go walk arnd with mingli and jiaming.. we proceeded up the hill to see the guys play soccer.. but i ended up playing soccer with them while mingli and jiaming cheered for us. hahaha.. i got to know goalkeeper derrick aka the HULK,(becuz it is displayed across his shirt),he's i think..primary two?three? ,is very hyperactive and does not have much frens. aso got to know jonathan the blue-shirt guy.. and some other kids..=) they very funny! they refer justin quek as 'the short one'. hahahaha..so suay. at first my team keep losing.. they joshua and jeffrey started bucking up and kicking the ball away when it came close to the net. hahaa.. and i helped my team score a goal lor! wahahaha.. but later on,when carine.yee en and peiying came to join us, yee en scored two goals for us! but the kids are really quite pro leh.. cannot xiao kan ta men.. after playing soccer,we went down the hill to rest,drink some water and stuff. then when i was walking alongside derrick(who was holding jeffrey's hand),he smacked my butt! how...astrocious? haha.. then jeffrey immediately told him tads its very wrong and rude of him to do tad, while i jokingly said if he do tad one more time,im gonna scream molest. haha..but i feel so weird... and of cuz embarrassed. =S poor huiyun,imagine how she feel. huiyun,calm down..he's just a kid after all. haha..
we went to the table and started helping the kids draw stuff on big pieces of paper.. i met this primary two girl call li ting and her big sister,li jun. li ting told me a secret.. which i will not tell you. hahaha..okok. anyway,she let me see this drawing of a witch she drew..and its really very nice. and becuz its her birthday today, nice joshua went to help her draw two comic couples in their wedding costumes,above written'happy birthday'.. haha the i bet she likes it alot cuz he drew the comic couples really nice. i aso got to know vishnu,who likes to go arnd asking us to write our name down on his paper,and then reading out loud each alphabet to us.. haha.. i played with him tic tac toe..and he keeps losing.. i mean,he can actually win cuz i pave a VERY obvious way for him to win..but he didnt see it. so he starts whining a bit..with his frens arnd him saying he will nv win.. den i let him win by actually telling him where his next move shld be.. and he's happy. and i think this can actually improve his self-esteem a bit. so its good. =) alan and a few other ppl went to ang mo kio to buy plants so tad dey can bring it back to the home to do gardening. but when dey came back.. we all didnt get a chance to do the gardening. but i dun really mind cuz i'll rather talk to the kids instead. haha.. i asked li ting wad she usually eat for lunch and she said 'vegetables,chicken and rice.' i told her i have eaten stingrey before and it taste really delicous. she didnt belive tad a stingrey can be eaten.. haha.. she told me bout her family and said her bdae wish is to go back home. she can only go home during public hols.. her relatives will come see her and her sister every sunday.. she can be a nice girl if she want to,by stop saying bad things.. i think im gonna go back next sat to see them all again.. play soccer aso.. hahaha.. and i think im gonna bring some sweets or toys.. becuz we found out dey like sweets alot(duh.all kids does).. haha.. ok i gtg. staring at the comp too long gets my eyes blurry.

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.
