2008 has been one hell of a year man, and I am prepared(not)for more challenges ahead!!! hahaha okay crap.
Christmas was very nice. :) Miss Lice and Miss Mouse(HAHAHA) came over the day before and we had a movie marathon, followed by a little studying(its the guilt) and nail-polishing and shameless phototaking. hahaha! and then we had a very full Ajisen lunch the next day, plus big slices of logcake, then proceeded on to play some shiok mahjong and sang some good old chinese songs. :D oh ya and not to forget the nice pressies!!! hahaha thank you dears! at night I went to have dinner with my relatives..the food was good(sambal kangkang makes me very happy) and my baby cousin said my temporary tatoo is cool. HAHA. okay she didnt exactly say that cause her vocab range have'nt included words like 'cool' yet but she did nod her head when I asked her! lols. ahh she's so cute!! and I am not an ah lian. :D
anyway, I went to Desaru some while back and I got a kick out of playing with the waves. which are like 5TIMES bigger than spore's pathetic ones!!!! haha and there're huge rocks which I climbed on and found small hermit crabs and live clam shells. LOL. got a small cut on my finger as a result of me acting tough but it was still fun, it would be better if I could canoe!! haha have'nt been able to done that since OBS so I kinda miss it..but maybe because the tide's too high or something we were'nt allowed to kayak. oh well. another time then!
Did quite a lot of slacking these past few weeks man. I watched You Dont Mess With The Zohan (yes i know its long time ago!) and laughed like hell (that show is sick), and then I watched Mama Mia(here I go again, my my, how can I resist you!), followed by HanCock(Will Smith!!!). all I can say is, my hols hmk is starting to rust. :(
And now New Year's coming! please let me have the motivation of a mugger!! (shit I am feeling the stress already)

Hit by the Christmas bug yet? ;)
first thing we did after checking in was to EAT. haha!
ahahaha yea man bring it on!
INDOOR THEME PARK
Soaking in the festive atmosphere..
with cute xmas decos like this! :D
hahaha there's even Harry Potter.
didnt enter Ripley's Believe It or Not this time cause I already did so last year. and I remembered there was this mirror which naive victims like me and my brother started making some weird facial expression at and turns out other people can see you from the other side embarrassing yourself! HAHA. but actually other than that,I can only remember the other stuff were either weird or freaky. Displaying stuff like vampire-nabbing tools (I know you think thats cool because of Twilight and Robert Pattinson!)..and also real human hair? haha.
this guy's must really need the cash.
he was on display outside Ripley's and he had to keep saying stuff like 'hey whats happening' or something like that I think while people stare blankly at him or snap photos. Some guy even proudly announced to his friends that he knew its all fake and the illusion has gotta do with mirrors. like duh, then real meh.
thats not fish or glitter or whatsorts but actually coins! people treat the pond like some wishing well or sth.
OUTDOOR THEME PARK
Say hello to the friends from genting outdoor theme park!!! :D :O
random shots along the way...
lone survivor! persevere girl!!!
another one. I think they're very pretty. :)
it isnt as big as it looks. and thats because I didnt want to zoom in so I moved my hand as close to it as possible all the while chanting in my mind: pls dont jump pls dont jump pls dont jump!!!
hahahaha and it didnt! I think it wanted its picture taken so its posing for me. HAHAHA. very nice colour Mr Bug.
and now...
play time! :D
haha very noob ride compared to the previous picture. It is INCREDIBLY slooooooow, goes one big round around the theme park with breaks in-between for us to 'admire the scenery' I guess. But turns out its some technical glitch..no wonder, I thought what was so nice to admire about trees and grass everywhere when it stopped halfway..
we did see Energizer! tho. :D
I think I must be getting old! because I actually felt kinda dizzy after this ride but I didnt felt like that the last time! :(
its not a rollar coaster cause it just goes zig-zags, but its really fast and exciting! my brother complained that it hurt his butt. HAHAHA.
I was really excited when I saw 'Chocolate Factory' cause it wasnt there the last time I came and I thought there will be free yummy chocolate everywhere for me to eat like those children did in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory(Johnny Depp rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)where there are huge chocolate trees and long-flowing smooth nice-smelling chocolate fountain! ahh its heaven.... and apparently 'Chocolate Factory' is not.
at all.
there goes my fantasy. who cares about fake colourful mushrooms?? I try to look happy for the camera! can you feel my pain?? hahahaha.
this rollar coaster ride has an apt name.
hahaha okay I have no idea how the name came about. (like thats what'll happen if a dude rides it?) LOL then lucky for me!
the few seconds before the rush of adrenaline! My dad and I thought everyone will be rushing to take the front seats but turns out no one dared to! hahaha so we happily obliged.
here's how it looks sideways.
thats the 360degrees turn!
I know it looks scary and all, but seriously? it kinda sucks.
haha there wasnt really any steep slides and the whole being turn 360degrees upside down happened too fast to feel any overwhelming emotion. which is what you're suppose to feel when you ride rollar coasters right? right.
but nevermind! there's still the ONE and ONLY..
SPACE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAAHAHA!
its like the coolest thing in genting! I forget how many times I sat this already but my heart still pump like hell whenever im on it. esp. when I get to the top and all I see is clouds and maybe buildings and all I can feel is myself in mid-air with minimal support. Freak out 100%. Thrill also 100%!!! :D
we went to Dinosaur Island!
me: and so as I was saying...
tribe woman: ???
you must be thinking: where are the dinosaurs??? why do I only see old turtles, cute rabbits and YOU??
hahaha so here's presenting.....
the Dinos of Dinosaur Island!!!!
a bit lame than scary. haha!
I am more scary!!!! ROARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found my other half.. mwahahhaa!
how you doing bro'!
is that even a dinosaur?
who looks more shocked? ;)
the view from above. yup we went Go Kart too! I've always had a fear that I'll clash into the stacked tires when I make a turn or when I park my kart but THANK GOODNESS none of that happened!
and our last ride was on railway tracks! :)
and I also enjoyed shopping and leg message!! :D
so genting was fun, despite almost dying from secondhand smoke!
please Santa, dont let me suffer from the horrible effects in the future like a sudden heart disease or brain tumour or something!
And please make those inconsiderate smokers disappear so next year if I go I dont have to try so hard to avoid sniffing a whiff of nicotine every few minutes
But other than that everything's quite good, I almost got the chance to fly even!
but too bad we came too late, where its already fully booked. :(
nevermind next time then, flying must have to wait! :)
adios muchachos! :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.
