yes, 6a gathering at sentosa today. =) People who turned up: Felicia. Hui Ting. Sophia. Alicia. Dawn. Nithiya. Edwin. Zheng Xiang. ZCX. Justin.
Not much, but okay la.(: And on msn ytd, I made a bet with justin to see who will be later to reach the meeting place. And I remembered someone saying confidently,'aiya comfirm is you want what!' and he came last. LOl too bad I didn't bring a pink paper bag to cover his head like I promised if he's late. =( hahaha..
We met at Vivo instead. First time there, for me. And yes, everything seemed so ex! haiz. Only rich people like alan or lingyu will go there. haha so anw, surprise surprise! We saw some zhonghua people there. Small world, like boon hao said. haha.. So while waiting for JUSTIN *uhem*, we girls went arnd to find food cuz sophia was hungry. But it turns out The ChickenRice Place serves a plate of chicken rice for what, 5plus dollars? Lol so she had to settle for bread. aww.. haha.. and what's more, the bread sold in the BreadTalk there wasn't very hygenic. There were flying ants arnd and some were even crawling on the bread. =X
When justin finally came *uhem*[Lol okay la], we set off to sentosa palawang beach! the trees, the sun and the hunks! Lol okay minus the hunks. Lifeguard's a female. And the male lifeguard wore JEANS. As if he's gonna jump into the sea to save someone in his jeans. haha. For some reason, we didn't really want to soak ourselves into the water yet. And then it suddenly started to drizzle. So we went to seek shelter. But while we were walking past this small but cute store situated on the beach itself, the wind mercilessly blew it down! Like, all the racks, stacked with beach stuff, came tumbling down! Sunblocks, small bottles of shampoo and soap, bundles of towels, balls, floats, slippers and shoes, shorts and shirts... you know. and the person tending the shop is like trying to hold back the rack but it was too late. haha.. so kind us, THE GIRLS, went forward to help them pack everything back. And really very disappointing to say, the boys went inside the air-conditioned food centre to eat ice kachang. But whatever. This proves girls are more helpful then guys. LOL. Action speaks so much louder than words.
Okay so after doing our good deed[lols], we went to the food centre to seek shelter and also to eat abit. Hui Ting, Sophia, Nithiya and me shared a 5 dollars carrot cake! It was yummy! And it tempted Alicia, but she can't eat cuz she refused to share salivas. You know, sharing food=sharing saliva, in a way. haha and I'm admittedly quite shocked because I remember in primary school, she has already made a stand, saying she won't share food. And she has managed to keep it until now! This has somehow touched me, seriously. hahaha.. I mean, it's really kinda touching to know that some areas or characteristics of a friend whom you haven been keeping in touch for years, still remains the same. haha and she can really keep it it for so long! I SALUTE HER. hhahaa.. okay okay. After stuffing our faces, we went to sit below this shelter, next to the food centre, and played Truth Or Dare. It was the best Truth Or Dare I've ever played. Hahaha, I love the Dares! They were so fun! Hui Ting always was the one being tio-ed, and she likes to choose Dare. So we made her 1)Compliment the lady who fried us the carrot cake, saying that her carrot cake tasted delicious, to which she replied, translated in english, 'Wah really ar? Don't make me happy leh!' 2)Standing at the entrance of the food centre, bowing and saying,'Welcome' graciously to this angmoh entering. 3) Give a nice plucked flower to the lady mending the drink stall, saying 'Merry Christmas!' at the same time. 4) Telling this fat guy in bright orange shirt how orange colour suits him a lot. To which he replied,'...' 5)Plastering her face right up the glass pane where she is looking directly at a couple eating their lunch, for 10 seconds. They waved hello happily back to that lunatic. LOL! Totally cool ! Luckily we didn't pissed anybody off. And in fact, I think that fat guy was secretly glad that he received such a sincere and nice compliment, although he seemed amused and stunned at first. hahaha.. Lets see what other dares there are. Dawn had to pinch Justin's cheeks, exclaiming in this act-cute voice,'hao cute worrshs!!!' LOL! and she even used a tissue to wrap her hand cuz she dun wanna dirty her hands. hahhaha.. Nithiya had to go stand beside this weird-looking statue, to which was currently being 'admired' by two little kids, and start dancing. LOL! Sophia had to pole-dance around this fake trunk!xD haha Alicia didn't choose Dare, but she made me do this super lame dare!! Urgh.. haha. She's evil. She made me put my arms around Zx's shoulder, pat his cheek and say,'Wo de Bao Bei'. !!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha, but I was up for any Dare okay! I love dares, except if you ask me to risk my life doing a dare la, then I'll absolutely decline. Lol and I told Alicia she is so dead if she chooses dare cuz I'm planning on having my revenge. But she didn't choose dare but truth instead! EVIL! hahaha.. nvm next time will have chance de.xD mwahahaha..
And so, after exciting dares and some interesting truths, it was 6plus and we decided to go play in the sea abit. the guys were'nt being very sporty, made us quite pissed. because hello? You pay 3 dollars and you dun even wanna touch the water? ZX got wet though. hahaha..tads his revenge because he pushed sophia into the water and got her all wet from top to toe. She even swallowed some salty water. poor thing. Haha but she should be glad to see ZX all wet too, although not as drenched as her la. So played with the waves a little while, then Huiting, Sophia, Nithiya and I went to bath. And surprise surprise! I saw Mingli der! hahaha.. she was der with Xinyi and this girl from basketball.. eh forgot her name, plus another girl whom I dun really know but seen before in Zhonghua. After bathing, met up with vivien. Everyone then took the mrt to Bishan to eat dinner except for Hui Ting and I, who stopped at Compasspoint to settle our dinner[because of favourable travel distance back to our house]. And so we parted!
=D And this concludes our day in/at Sentosa. Not terrible, not extremely good, but just really nice. fun too, of course. Hopefully more people will go the next time, and we can all play lame games like ' Listen carefully. Joe's father died. Did he die?' LOL. That's what Zx was testing ZCZ, and cuz we knew the trick behind it, and he doesn't, so he's quite mad. hahaha..Hint is: Listen Carefully. But still he doesn't get it. Lol. So ZX has to repeat and repeat until we got so sick of it. -.- haha..
P.S Edwin remember to send us the nice group photo hor!
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.
