Tuesday, September 22, 2009 12:23 AM
wow. that is really good! :) and seeing janet jackson, who looks so much like MJ himself, stunned me for a minute. I mean, of course since she's his sister and I've seen her on album covers and stuff.. but in the vid, wow. just felt sth tug at my heart. haha okay shall not go there
btw VMA's so entertaining! there's the kenye west dissing taylor swift and stealing her mic(what's his problem), lady gaga's performance for Paparazzi where blood gushed out of her chest at the last part, taylor swift rocking out in the subway train before going on stage... haha so cool
ytd when jo weijie shuwei matthew and I were walking to rivervale mall at night, jo suddenly exclaimed to me,'smooth criminal's on 987!' so we immediately tuned in and actually started singing along. at the part where we sang loudly in unison, 'ARE YOU OKAY ANNIE!' I felt sooo shiok! hahaha one, because that line cracks me up so much how singlish it sounds and how cute when MJ sings it and two, I nv thought they'll sing along, and to hear it on radio too is awesome! woohoo! :D
and and and I wanna say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 thanks for all the encouragement and being there when I need it, you're a great friend:) and if anything A4 will be there too k! :) loves!

i dunno what to say. every word's so true. all that I find hard to express somehow slips easily through her speech and this familiar sense of heartache comes creeping back. maybe its hard to comprehend for some, but its something I feel strongly about and am glad I can share it with some of my friends who understands:)
on a totally unrelated note, Celia Ammerman and Fo Porter are now my facebook friends and I absolutely love them on antm! hahahahaha

by the way I just realised moments ago that I DID NOT COMPLETE WATCHING GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 2. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( AND ALL THESE WHILE(BY THAT I MEAN MONTHS) I THOUGHT I ALR WATCHED THE LAST EPISODE AND WAS GETTING IMPATIENT AS TO WHEN SEASON 3 IS GONNA PREMIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went to surf youtube and came across this vid of blair and chuck (omg I LOVE this couple) kissing at the side of a limo and one of the youtube comments was 'I love this episode!' I was all, 'HUH?! since when was there such an episode?' SO I YAHOO-ED 'WATCH GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 2' AND FOUND OUT I ONLY STOPPED AT EPISODE 9. YES IM AN IDIOT. I DIDNT EVEN QUESTION MYSELF WHY THE EPISODES ENDED SO FAST (strangely enough i didnt even realise that when i watched my IMCOMPLETE dvd) I feel so damn sucky right now. URRGGHHH I WILL CATCH UP WITH THE REST OF THE EPI SOON!!!! at least looking at the bright side, there is something exciting to look forward to now when i surf the net. hahahaha what the hell la!

This is the video Mr Sim wanted to show during GP lec, Man In The Mirror by MJ:)
Gotta make a change For once in my life It's gonna feel real good Gonna make a difference Gonna make it right
As I turned up the collar on A favorite winter coat This wind is blowin' my mind I see the kids in the street With not enough to eat Who am I to be blind Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard A broken bottle top And a one man's soul They follow each other On the wind ya' know 'Cause they got nowhere to go That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of A selfish kinda love It's time that I realize There are some with no home Not a nickel to loan Could it be really pretending that they're not alone
A willow deeply scarred Somebody's broken heart And a washed out dream (Washed out dream) They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see 'Cause they got no place to be That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change
it's a beautiful song, teaching us how to love. something easily forgotten sometimes
again, those mix of emotions and words I cant find to describe.
SO, I was out out OUT with jo, shan and tommy today! shan and tom left earlier, so jo and I went to indulge in White Tangerine for dinner:) yummy and cheap! haha

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.
