SO MUCH STUFF.
Monday, April 21, 2008 7:49 PM

omg this few weeks has been reeeeally crazy!
cramped with so many stuff going on!
but weirdly for some reason, I still look forward to school.
(omg did i just say that?)
hahaha. so anyway, something funny happened a few weeks back.
shannon was telling me about profanities, and she started imitating one of her friends.
so when i opened the door to LT2 and wanted to enter[to find my lost water bottle], shan happened to say 'F***!' really loud, and we both realised that there's a lecture in progress!
so I was having one hand at the door handle with the door wide open, shan said the F word, the students stared at her, and I abruptly closed the door.
LOL!!!!!!
we could'nt stop laughing, I almost cried la!
hahaha. funny scenario man!

alrighty! here's some of the stuff that's been happening to me lately! :D

Firstly..

MY PUBLIC-SPEAKING TRAINING AT SMU FOR PRE-U SEM!















with dinosaur janet and candice!













really cool people.
eric's our trainer, and he was listed as one of the top 25 alternate achievers under 25 on Straits Times! we all got a free copy of his book[the one janet's holding] called 'The FAQ book on Public Speaking.' which I really like! :D


he said he's feeling shy.
haha man, I think I look shy!
LOL. ok seriously. he did inspired me and I believe, almost every single one of us who attended the training, to be a better public speaker!
I've really learnt quite a lot during the two days spent mostly at SMU, from him and also the other trainers as well. :) a good experience!






one sad thing about being chosen to be attending the pre-university seminar in may is that i will
miss my outdoor adventure camp.
i'm really really really sad about that. :'( i so so so want to go!
ohwells.
It's Campaign Week for the counsellors-to-be[well,some of them]!
everywhere! you can see posters, stickers, badges, speeches...all in an effort to win votes from the student body so as to enter council!
rousing speeches during lunch.
here are some of the candidates..


Ashok! who really no kidding, looks like Mr Bean.
with a dark tan.
HAHA.








Jun Qiang. dont really know him.










Linh! she's vietnamese and i met her through the public speaking training. she speaks
really well!

two mas-selamat wannabes.
and last but not least....

my dear jolyn! the lean meat machine!
ahahaha. i'll vote for you girl dont worry! :)
Next!
A LONG LONG TIME AGO a guy named william adiputra persuaded me to join P.O.P[pursuit of passion], a talent showcase event held every year by our school, with him.
we both went for the auditions[I sang bu xiang dong de by angela zhang, and willie sang some english song which i forgot the name..sth like 'waiting for the world to change'?], and we both got in.
actually i think we got in because the no. of solo singers were not much, and so other than us, 6 more solo singers also got in. and then there's the band category too..
ok so anyway, NOW, I see my face and hear myself singing in the big plasma tv in our school every time they play everyone's audition tapes[to get votes from the student body]. LIKE WHAT.THE.HECK.
man i really think i look freaking unflattering in this wide plasma tv. i look real spastic man!
yes go on and laugh all you want.

that's willie. HAHAHA i dunno why but everytime i see his face on tv i start to laugh.
LOL not trying to be mean la. it just cracks me up. hahaha.
LOL another funny thing. when i was standing there my bag accidentally hit the knobs behind me, and this 'diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii' sound started going on, and me and shannon freaked out.
cuz it was'nt stopping and no matter which knob i try to press to stop it, it doesn't.
so shan was like,'quick felicia run run run!'
and so i ran!
HAHAHHA. i seriously thought i was gonna get into trouble man!
such lame things actually happen to me.
-.-















my performance in front of the ENTIRE SCHOOL at the hall is this wed[OMG you cant imagine the stress im feeling].
i'm like really scared!! I hope i dont go off-key man!!
my confidence of winning isn't so high, just hope i dun make a fool of myself?
hahaha. CHOI CHOI! that would be so embarrassing.
i'm gonna sing wo men de ai by F.I.R. and willie says he's gonna sing mariah carey's 'byebye'.
everyone tells him not to sing that but he wants to, the notes are high dude!
haha. nvm maybe he can pull it off who knows? :)
shit shit shit. one more day. I need all the moral support i can get!!!!
hahahah..yes im starting to freak out again.
okay okay moving on yea!

you are not alone
I love him all the same

saturday, july 18th, 2009. 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.
