Okaaaaay, it's final: I can stand the song now[I think] and in fact, I think it is not that bad after all. [For those who are clueless please refer to previous post]
Well, what can I say other than people change and so does their taste in music! Okay I'm not saying that I'm going to listen to more HI-5 songs from now on[spare me!] but I conclude this: Keep singing the song you hate and it will soon be the song you like/love. For example, you hate guo mei mei's new hit, 'Merry merry christmas baby...' hahaha okok shall not go on further.. So you just sing it repeatedly and repeatedly until BAM! It suddenly strikes you.. that the song is not so bad after all! =D LOL. If you try it and it doesn't work even though you hum or sang the used-to-hate song more than 20 times, then treat it as I'm talking rubbish because waddhya know? Maybe I am. xD
And so! I went to school today, got requested to sit further up front so I can hear oswell's melodious voice clearer, and started doing cheers such as Gako[the frog]. hahaha and thus, I became oswell'sdisappointment. Because I refuse to be more enthusiastic, to shout at the top of my lungs, to wave my hands wildly in the air and shout 'Father Abraham has seven children!'. LOL okay no I'm just kidding. I know whatyou mean la, to be more hyped up and have more energy flowing inside me right.. haha maybe it would'nt happen now but when sec1 orientation comes, I assure you that all my shouting will end up, as always, with a bad sore throat and a 'sexy' or zero voice. xD So dun worry bout the 'enthu' part k! Worry about.. about.. what happens if all of us facils are down with sore throats and can't shout anymore, and it's only the first day of orientation?!? Okay. That most likely is not going to happen. So worry about your sore throat instead, it sounds bad. Take more strepsils and drink lots of honey water!=)
Still, oswell sucks because when we were playing 'A thousand-legged worms', he put me in between two guys, who according to him, is 'spastic but nice.' haha.. actually nothing's wrong with them except that one of them kept imitating a dog barking and showing off his sweets, and the other prefers to replace his facial expressions with paper plates drawn with smileys and other emotion faces! Very normal. yeah.
LOL okay, enough suan-ing. I mean no harm ! It's just a bo-liao way to pass the time.(: And there's this other issue I need to cover.
I refer to oswell's 'SAVE MAGICAL REINDEERS FROM EXTINCTION' post. Which is quite interesting la. BUT![there's always the but] HE FORGOT THE ELVES! YES THEE ELVES!!!!!!! The ears-pointed sharpened-eyes magical little creatures who helps to wrap all our gifts and presents efficiently!
Santa is switching to advanced tech now for all his works such as delivery of presents, the usage of reindeers and also not to forget, the wraping and packaging of presents we all get every year! Machine replaces hand-made work, doing the job even neater and proper, and the elves, like the reindeers, also find themselves jobless. It is so unfair. They spent effort and time ensuring each present is fully-covered and beautifully-wrapped, but at the end they know we mortals are just gonna rip away the entire wrapping packet without the blink of an eye. The days where they hum a tune as they wrap and package the presents, dividing the job of producing a nicely-wrapped gift equally to everyone and dutifully placing a pink ribbon on top of every single colourful presents are gone! What's left, is machines, machines and machines.
The elves, like the reindeers, are utterly demoralised and feel no need to reproduce more baby magical elves. As such, the numbers of magical elves are dwindling fast.
SO DO YOUR PART! Show your appreciation for these poor magical elves by wishing everyone a MERRY MAGICAL ELVES DAY. The elves are counting on you.

P.S I mentioned oswell's name four times. haha don't be too honoured k. It only happens once. =D
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.
