WOOTS DID WE DANCED!!! hahaha! it was so much fun. and inca came in second which i think is still awesome! teddy bear screamed so much on the second day of orientation that he lost his voice ytd. but yet he still tried to lead us all into cheers again and again. haha he rocks man! :D and hippo[ j chung!] is in inca too. haha. crazy guy keeps making so much noise at the back. attention-seeking hor! hahaha. I also made two new friends-cindy and diyanah. haha they're both fun people and so I got to laugh alot! along with other friends i've made too..wanxin,kelvin,deborah[THEBRA],natasha and althea. :) if time could go back I would do everything again and again! yeahhh man INCA! :) [lols ok pardon me..still sufferring from post-orientation mood.]

you know if there's one thing I don't like, its being treated like a freaking answering machine. I mean it. I hate it when people expect me to shoot answers out while they ask me questions again and again in a rude and insensitive way. and this case is different from people who asks questions but they really care, they really want to know what's happening with you lately. It's really irritating to have to feed to some people's kapo-ness and ulterior motive when you're not even close with them or you clearly know they're faking it. so yeah.
btw, I.AM.SO.TIRED.!!!!!! I really think that all my sweat, if collected, will be able to fill a bucket! hahaha..but orientation's of course still fun fun fun! :D cheering and screaming..typical orientation stuff. :) and I learnt that being overly enthu will result in bruises, excessive sweating, and a sexy hoarse voice. LOL! okay la but I dont mind. 2moro's another looong day. cya!
random.

LOL now thats a plastic smile.

kay i'll blog while i'm still in the blogging mood[seriously not getting any these days].
happy cny everybody. :) have quite a number of cny pics waiting to be uploaded. but im not really in the mood so i'll do it in my next post. i'll just blog for now. :)
cny this year was a little different for me. lesser relatives[overseas for work..family..blah blah] from my father's side. so less festive too. but that's okay. at least I got to know my distant cousins better this year. last time we hardly talk but cuz they went to my house for steamboat on sat, i got to talk to a few of them and bond a little. with 'them' referring to seven children. like woah! seven! thats quite a lot right.. wonder how my father's cousin did it.. LOL. its amusing to see how each of them behave and look. and they range from pri 1 to poly? haha but yet i still cant manage to remember any of their names up till now. its hard to even rmb their faces when you suddenly got so many children running up and down in your house. but all to all, it was still quite fun. we ate steamboat, watched 'secret', snacked like nobody's business, played a little mahjong, played cards and build castles with them, and lastly, played snakes and ladders. woo. happy cny man. haha. im very sorry to bore you ppl with the details of my cny stuff but im just bored waiting for my dinner to come home. :)
have stopped working since last week and slacking around at home is great. but still it wont take my mind off some things. and it sucks that I let them bother me, not worth the time at all. so anyway, i watched cj7 alr. :D i really like stephen chow's originality and creativity. the movie was very animated but it got me laughing quite a lot of times and i even teared up at one part! heard that stephen chow once commented that if we, the audience, manage to tear up, then he considers the movie a success. haha even if we dont i still dont think the audience will think of the movie as a failure. just look at cloverfield. thats really sad. lols.
okay i think my dinner is back. bye!
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.
