Caught some of Jackson's music videos on youtube.

Didn't know how a guy could dance so fantastically and yet not be seen as 'gay'.. Cos some moves really are 'gay' when performed by anyone else other than him.

I don't see Michael's dances as crude even though he does that hip jerk, crotch grabbing... that's how slick his dance moves are. Damn when I see anyone else dancing like that.. I'm like, eeww.

His moonwalk rocks!! Omg what a talent...

www.youtube.com/watch =-----> Michael Jackson - Bad

This one is Michael with his 'lighter black' skin, but his features starting to become what we know now. But his lips not as bian-looking yet.

But Michael looks like he's got a gentle soul. But seeing pictures of him when he was young (esp in the above video).. he kinda got that rebellious look. But I think must be the make-up and clothes and hair bah.

{In the previous entry, I must have been kidding myself. I have not seen Michael's moonwalk before. I'd only seen people doing his moonwalk.}

Jackson has passed on.

This is a great, great loss. I still am 'coming to terms' with it; even though I am a non-fan. It is such a shock since Jackson's presence has always been huge worldwide. He's a phenomenon in itself. He's perfect tabloid fodder. It's rather surreal to realise that never again will we read about his weird doings, weird goings-on in Neverland, his breakthroughs in music..

I haven't been following any news of Jackson (except of late), nor have I heard any of his songs. I only read stuff that comes out in our papers. 'wacko' and 'distressing' is what comes to mind when I think of him. 'waste of talent' and 'sad life' is what comes to mind - for now - when I think of him.

The only Jackson stuff I have seen is his MoonWalk and a short MTV of him from his early days, dancing with his back-up dancers like a zombie. (Thriller?) Even then, those were but vague memories.

This feels a tad reminiscent of the post-Leslie days, although I'm not infatuated with Jackson. Thoughts running through my head though, wonder why he left so early, wonder what's (related to him) going to happen in future. A part of me already 'misses' the fact that I'll no longer read about him, except of the memories of people who knew and/or loved him.

Tempted though I may be to search news on Jackson, to listen to his songs, to read more of his biography, I'd do well to steer clear of all these stuff for now.

I do so love men (humans) of talent. Can't resist them, for the life of me =(
RIP Jackson =)

What a sad life you must have led..to have driven you to do what you have done.

When one day I finally listen to your music and watch your videos, I believe you'll far surpass Presley. I believe you will not disappoint my expectations of you. ^^

Luck to Jackson's family and friends  <33
And fans.

Only days ago I was reading about Lady Gaga's granny-underpants-as-hot-pants story. And now, Jackson's.... But a long time seemed to have passed between these two stories. Although it was only a day or two..

Sometimes the longer you wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when you finally get it.

Can I try it just once?
( What's your puke factor?? )

Two words: SUSAN BOYLE!!!

You just HAVE to listen to her! She's amazing.

I don't know why. I keep going back to the same youtube link just to listen to her sing and watch Simon Cowell's expressions of stunned incredulity.

Simon Cowell: ''You are a little tiger.''

Piers Morgan (another meanie judge) said: ''This is the biggest 'YES' I have given.''

Here's the youtube link of the shy Scotswoman singing 'I dreamt a dream' from Les Miserables (read 'Lay Miseraque')

www.youtube.com/watch

She's amazing!! Much better than Welsh schoolboy Shaheen Jafargholi --> www.youtube.com/watch

Shaheen's performance wasn't unexpected as he played the young Michael Jackson in some music video. But Susan's was! She's been an unknown UNTIL NOW. 150 MILLION hits on her youtube video. That's gotta be sayin' somethin'.

You go, girl.

Kabei.

昨日の晩は友達と「kabei」をみったです。(Watched [kabei] last night with a friend)

Nice movie. Bring tissues. ^^

Quite heart-wrenching..

*blink blink*

A few things have happened at work, but somehow I'm happier now that it has happened..

The 'biggest' thing that happened is that we fell out with another colleague. 'We' are me and another Chinese girl. The colleague is a filipino girl.

What happened in the lab was all her fault. I mean even though yea, we mistakenly left her behind (more about that later), we apologised to her after that. And you know what? Her sms read "it's okay =))". But apparently it wasn't okay, because the next day she started ignoring us, from the very first time we saw her that morning, she just ignored us both. I already sensed she was gonna do something like this (it's not the first time she's showing that kind of stupid fucked-up attitude), so I didn't say or do anything, didn't even say 'hi' to her. Although I wouldn't have ignored her if she didn't ignore us first. And the other Chinese girl, she said 'hi' to the filipino. She got a dirty look in return. And, at lunch that day, the Chinese girl offered the filipino some of her lunch. And the latter gave her a dirty look.

I mean, "WTH?!" F-ed up larh.

My take on things is like that: whatever attitude someone gives me, I give back. If possible, double or even triple. So, I ignored her.

She's taking things another step further. Making it worse. In lab, whilst we are doing our work, she keeps making unnecessary noise, like singing damn loudly, talking damn loudly and 'happily' (?!), and talking to others (whom she's making use of) damn sweetly, the very annoyingly 'teh' (act-cute) way.

And she even kept kicking her table to make noise. The back of our table is a metal sheet, so kicking it is making annoying noises. Hell.

What was our 'fault'? Okay me and my Chinese friend were rushing to the MRT after getting off the bus after work. The filipino was following us. She was slow, and me and the Chinese girl rushed into the MRT train when we saw it, and turned back looking for her. Couldn't find her, cos there were so many people. It was only after the door closed that we saw her, and she saw us too. I caught that 'microexpression' of annoyance flitting across her face. Then she rearranged her features into a very fake smile and waved us goodbye. Afterwhich, my friend messaged her "sorry we left you behind, we didn't know you were so far away from us. Sorry, we see you tomorrow" or something to that effect. It was an apology!! And the next day my friend also apologised to her.

Gawd, what a childish person (the filipino). This isn't the first time she did something like this.

The first was, she ignored the filipino guy (used to be the 4 of us hanged out together, like talking during our free times, lunching together). And the reason being? "He didn't talk to me so I'm not talking to him." Argh, that day when she decided to start ignoring him, he was very very very busy. This 'cold' war lasted a month. They made up in the end. It was the guy who took the initiative. Not the girl. And, the girl was shouting so loudly "I miss him!! I want to go out with him, I want to sit with him." So fake.

The second? It was me who kena-ed the 'cold' war. Not my fault okay. The 4 of us arranged to go Sentosa on a Sunday. Then, on that day itself, when I reached HarbourFront, I was waiting for them. Then I got a message from my Chinese friend, saying she and the guy couldn't contact the filipino girl. So the trip off. And what, the filipino girl messaged me 30 MINUTES AFTER THE ARRANGED MEETUP TIME saying "outing cancelled. you know?" I replied, "no. what happened." Her message "I duno, they cancelled." She's blaming them! Without a word of sorry. I knew she just woke up. Because the day before (Saturday), she was supposed to entertain her visiting fellow countrymen and take them to Sentosa. No responsibility to message us the night before to at least say, "I'm tired, maybe tml not going with you guys."

Well the next day (Monday) she ignored me. I was pissed off and ignored her as well, cos I can't be bothered to go and por(mollycoddle) someone who's in the wrong. I heard from my Chinese friend that she took 2 days to persuade the filipino to talk to me. And how did the filipino 'apologise'? "Hey! Why you never talk to me for so long ah?" T_T she said it in a 'joking' manner to 'hint' that she's "not in the wrong". WAHHH

And I'm the type of person, when I know of something good, I'll tell my friends about it if I knew they were looking out for that. For eg, I told her about the IT fair cos she was asking around about it. And I told her, "if you know any sales, tell me! I want to buy stuff!" she said 'okay', but she didn't keep that promise. I know. I found out. I hate people like that. I already openly told her what I'm looking for, she had the info, couldn't be bothered to share.

Alot of times also, she 'made appointments' with me to go out, never keep them. And she never take responsibility to tell me, like even on that day itself. I knew she would break the appointment. But I just kept quiet for the whole day to see if she would tell me. She didn't. A whole day working in the SAME PLACE and she can't be bothered to tell me. So at the end of the day I said, 'we going out right?' she said 'no, sorry I going out with my BF'. I asked, 'when did you confirm you going out with him?'. She said 'yesterday'. Never apologised. T_T

Alot, alot of times. I gave her chanceS. (Note the plural) Normally my first impression of a person is right. I got the impression (When I first got to know her) that she wasn't good. There's no reason, just an instinct. But I chose to give her chances. Which she didn't treasure.

So okay, I give up. I'm happier now. I don't have to pretend I like her. It was tiring.

She's the type of person who'll bitch about others when she's in the wrong. I bet (and I have the feeling) she bitched about us to the Manager, saying it's our fault that caused the rift. (the manager noticed the 4 of us have now become 2-2) I know it, because that's how I'm like. Her behaviour and mine are the same, when we are annoyed. (I don't act as fake and as 'friendly' as she is though.) I know I'm annoying when I act like that. I just didn't know how bad. Now that I'v seen, I feel I really gotta change and be more aware of my behaviour.

I sound like such a bitch. But who wouldn't? If they had a 'friend' like that?

Damn funny

is it so bad to be a zombie when it is impossible to escape?

afterall, just a moment of pain, and you will be like the rest.

afterall, environment changes you.

why even bother to escape the madhouse? what's the point of running from the zombies? because even if you manage to escape, others will treat you as if something is wrong with you, even if there isn't

why run? why resist change?

it's hard to resist change; it's hard to be yourself when others are the opposite of you. i feel the strong urge to change just because. not because i want to, but because of peer pressure and the label others put on me.

Watched REC (Spanish) with WL yesterday. It was damn cool, man! Actually I wanted to watch it on Monday, but got driving lesson that couldn't be cancelled...well couldn't have been too soon, cos today's the last day for screening of REC. REC opened on 30October.. At that time didn't think it would be good, was more keen to watch The Coffin. But never did I expect The Coffin to suck THAT majorly. It was really sucky. The plot was lame, the acting mediocre, but the main cast was attractive.

REC is a zombie flick. Lol.. Didnt know that, until I heard from someone that REC is super gory, more so than SAW.. That word, GORY, made me interested in REC.. I love all things gore, gory, bloody and stuff though I cringed alot cos I can imagine and somehow 'feel' the pain.

In REC, the movie is filmed through the perspective of a TV camera man (people say its like The Blair Witch Project which I didnt watch so I'll just take their word for it), so yea, expect alot of shaking, scenes 'bouncing' up and down, static, and once in a while some blackouts. The blackouts were nerve-wracking, cos when it first happened, I was like "what the hell's going on? movie kena stopped ah?" Then all the shouting started. Lol. The worst blackout was somewhere towards the end, where the camera lightbulb got cracked after getting hit by....a zombie. Lol. The camera had a night vision light too, and it was damn eery, CAN. Everything was this eery green, and the girl's pupils were shiny, she looked like a zombie! Omg...

REC started off with this lady TV reporter introducing a new night programme, "Whilst you sleep", and filming firemen at work at night.. And lame stuff like that.. The movie was damn draggy for the first 10 minutes. Then, the firemen had a call to go to this apartment block to save someone trapped in her apartment. That was when the fun began. The apartment in question was real tiny, gave claustrophobic and bad vibes, with silly neighbours shouting themselves hoarse arguing about stupid things. I dont get why  people must stand around shouting when there are things to be done, but yea. Anyway, thank gawd for those loads of silly people, cos they are the ones that make this movie cool.

The story is this: when the police and firemen break into the apartment to save a deranged fat old woman, the woman starts attacking one of them (the policeman), going for his jugular. And it was damn gross. I could see a huge chunk of bloody flesh, loads of blood and stuff, and her nightie was stained with blood... After that, everyone except that zombie-hag rushed downstairs trying to save the policeman's life, and for some reason, the fireman was still upstairs. (by then the entire apartment block was sealed off by police from the outside, so everyone in the building couldnt get out. no reason was given at all - only about near halfway through the movie did the reason reveal itself) I didnt notice his absence until he fell from the stairwell looking like his head was smashed open. (amazingly, falling from such a height from the stairwell, only one chunk of flesh was gone from his face?? its retarded. there was so much blood)

Then, both the fireman and policeman were placed in some sick bay, with the doctor intern (one of the residents) trying to treat them, and everyone else panicking. A Health Officer was let into the building (stupid idiots - those outside the building - letting in ONE person when the entire apartment of people supposedly infected with the zombie virus?) and he tried to treat the two injured.. But yea, since they both were bitten, so obviously they were infected. The stupid guys gathered around the infected stayed so close to them, of course they would get bitten when the virus acts up.. One of them got bitten, and he got locked into the room cos once bitten, the person cant be saved.. Scary lah. So slowly every one of them got bitten and infected.

My personal favourite is the Jennifer-zombie. Jennifer is a little girl of about 6 who turned into a zombie. She was so cute! To see something so cute morph into something freaky.. Wow. First, she attacked her mum who was carrying her in her arms. She lunged at her mummy's eye and bit off something (couldnt see the wound) and loads of blood spurted out. Imagine a punctured oil pipeline spurting oil - that's how it was - except with blood spurting all over the place.. Then she ran off upstairs, with two of the guys chasing after her with the antidote. When she was found, the stupid guy squatted RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER and TURNED HIS HEAD AWAY FROM HER. Wah. Some dumbass humans. What did he expect, that this cute little freaky zombie wouldn't attack him when he let his guard down?? She attacked the person-in-charge (of the building), and he was my next favourite zombie. Cos even when he wasn't a zombie yet, he was so damn argumentative, those kind of take-charge egoistic person who can turn violent.. Zombies in that movie were naturally violent, so yea. You get my drift.

I want to watch REC again..this show is the best that I've ever seen =D Even WL loved it, haha. Btw, the American remake, Quarantine, will be out in theatres. But I'm not sure if I want to watch it cos I feel that American remakes suck (The Grudge is proof enough) Agreed, REC is so much more gory than the SAWs I watched, but I duno about SAW V. [Here I'm talking about someone who doesnt get that freaked out when seeing a guy saw off his own leg..]

The zombies in REC totally rock =)) I am Legend also had zombies, but, the zombies retreat in daylight. Dawn of the Dead also had zombies that retreated in daylight. And, in both zombie flicks, the zombies could be killed. Just keep whacking them with something heavy, or empty bullets into them. REC zombies are nigh impossible to kill, although whacking them with a mallet prove effective in bringing them down, but only for a while.. PLUS PLUS PLUS, SINCE THE WHOLE BUILDING IS SEALED OFF (IE WINDOWS ALSO COVERED WITH OPAQUE SHEETS), THERE'S NO WAY OF SEEING IF THEY RETREAT IN DAYLIGHT. The zombies DO NOT fear fluorescent light. In fact, they acted like normal human beings in this sense; when light is shone in their faces, they attack. Its freaky.

My heart beat so fast whenever the zombies attacked, and this movie elicited so many "oh my gawds" from me that I got pissed with myself. HAHA.

Ah, I have another good gory movie to recommend. (Although it isn't really gory..but, I think brain-sucking alien bugs qualify as eww movie material?) Starship Troopers -> the first movie is my favourite, must have watched it more than 10 times. The second one was not bad, still had nice bugs, but I miss my brain-sucking leader alien bug.! And the second one was more sex-based, as in the girls used sex to lure the guys.. T_T

Today was Deepavali. And I didn't do anything!!!!!!!!!

Which was like totally sad. I watched the Channel 8 7pm show today though. Somehow I had the urge to watch this guy again.. I think his character's name is Jia Kang.

But question is, why do I 'like' Jia Kang? I dunno lar.. I'm being weird again.. It's not like Jia Kang is handsome or anything..but............ This guy like seriously, seriously reminds me of someone. Although he doesn't look anything like that someone. Humph.

Why's the library closed on P.H.?! Not fair, kay. I went all the way down, den after that saw that the whole library interior lights were off.. And I went T_T okay back home NOW.

I was so looking forward to settling myself down in one of the comfy sofa chairs with a nice book and my Mr Bean peanut kuih.

And back to work tomorrow. Oh, the joy. And driving lessons too. At least driving lessons are getting better. My eighth one tomorrow.

Plus I have so many questions. Should I or shouldn't I? Can someone please tell me? I need help. PLEASEEEE~

A little tribute to Toma..for being my idol. It’s his birthday today! Plus some random rants. Toma-related, of course.

( For Toma & HanaKimi shippers..read on! )

Now that I have Japanese lessons and driving lessons, my time has been more meaningfully used, and I have less time to be depressed. Lol. At least they are excuses to get out of the house. These few years, I have associated being in the house as being 'trapped'; I don't enjoy being at home at all. (Well, except to sleep - I love my bed!) I don't enjoy being at home being nagged at, commanded to do things, getting yelled at, going to my room finding it trashed..

Leslie Cheung is my first idol.
 
PS: I have only ever liked actors/actresses because of their characters in movies and dramas. Well, now I have a second idol. But more about that on his birthday XD

I seriously started liking him when I was 15. Although I did notice him when I was 12. Only I didn't get the chance to get to know 'who this handsome guy is', because it was Chinese New Year then, and all the kids wanted to watch Jackie Chan movies.
