Well according to chinese traditions, today is Ren Ri or Human Day, so.
should've bought myself a cake (and presents and flowers) as an excuse! hahaha
okay maybe that's pretty sad, but I did celebrate in a way by going to this awesomeeeeee flea at Sentosa! Wavehourse~ wooo hooo
Me Jo Shan Shine took the monorial and I got into a flurry of excitement after taking a lil sneak peek of Universal Studios interior!
omggggggg I am so eager to indulge myself in the world of imagination! dreams! fantasy! chimera! HAHAHA okay not exactly true, but still, you get the idea.
anyway, the flea was pretty big and I got my first experience of the waveboard thingy ride with man-made waves, i think i can find a picture..
thats me!
HAHA so fine there was no first experience, but im sure a professional talented wakeboarder lies inside me somewhere...
the flea was pretty big, and we went to visit ennoi's stall, which she set up with her friend. bought a top there, and got a free dress thanks to seow ennoi! hehehehe happy~ thanks babe!
AND i got good steals from other stalls too. seriously sastified! love fleas!
shan and jo had to leave, so I went for dinner at Hong Kong Kim Gary (had lunch there too) with shine. their curry baked rice/spaghetti and spicy noodles's yums! :)
shared medium cup yougurt with generous toppings, played UNO and I won! hahaha
btw yougurt = pure goodness in a cup!!!! LOVES
shine went home first, and I took the train back with fio ennoi and her friends.
it was funny, we had a little flea shopping in the train when fiona and I decided to ransack their bags and source for the leftover flea clothes and good buys!
hahaha we even tried them on, so i bet Stomp's gonna have a field day tmrw...
can you believe it ALL the best/front row seats are taken for BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!
urghhhhh very upset now!
but yea at least this eliminates the dilemma of whether to choose the front row seats or the second best ones which are of course cheaper.
haha and if i buy the front row seats for both concerts I'll totally end up bankrupt.
sighs howwww. the fans are in full force man! maybe when I wake up tmrw the second best seats are all unavailable already. end up no choice but to choose the ones most far back.
HAHA. must use binoculars to zoooooooom in on S.H.E and my teng teng's face. pathetic.
anyway guess i'll get the second best ones!? but i need to find ppl to go with me first!
the last time I actually went to S.H.E's previous concert ALONE.
hahaha yes i know right? but it was quite okay, would be better if I had someone to scream with la of course!!!!
WHO WNA GO S.H.E OR XIAO JING TENG'S CONCERT WITH ME?
or better yet, WHO WNA SPONSER ME GO ANY ONE/BOTH OF THE CONCERTS?
hahahahahahahahaha
ohwells i will find a way, wait for me teng teng! wait for me selina hebe ellaaa!
what? dont TSK me. im still young for idol crazes, which btw, isnt a heat-of-the-moment or temporary thing.
may not seem obvious, but have been a S.H.E for a total of 8 years(!) , bought their albums, been to concert, autograph sessions and sing/sometimes rap all their songs.
hahahahaha love them!
and as for xiaojingteng/jam/my tengteng, it all started with these 3 vids..

music is extraodinary. sometimes its all we need to get away from the madness and indulge in a world you imagined exist. away from the fuss, the noise, the berate and the bicker, just you and the melody. the intense visual and auditory imagery, the emotions it evokes/ ecstasy, affection, despair, inspiration, passion, melancholy.. the kind of thrill it gives. curl up on the sofa and have his songs fill the room. fill the heart. let it dive deep, infiltrate and unravel, to reveal an appreciation, liberation, with a smile nevertheless.
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though its breaking
you are the thunder and I am the lightning

gonna go meet zheng yuan chang later! (HAHA i say it as if its a date) mad excited, but wished I had the album tho :( haha and he's not just another pretty face, he's smart, talented and funny too. omgggg he better not be gay!
rushing down to fleaaaa at marina after that :D gna dig out the treasures and good finds wahahahaha =/= cheapskate! its called careful financial planning. HAHA
just a random thought, I think formalities are really important. manners and all, whether you're close to the person or not. cause it shows you're not taking him/her for granted. thankyous and sorrys matter alot to me actually and you'd think being really close to someone you can spare each other that but not really, to me la.
anywaaay, I'm down with the cough. and has since elevated to phlegm, and i am now practically lazy to speak. haha cause it will sound like some deep manly voice (transvesite alert) and my throat will kinda hurt abit too. not to mention ruining my angelic image. HAHAHAHA
okay byebye off for my date! :D hehehehe!
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.
