Merry Christmas, all!! =D

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas,
May the Yule tide gay...
From now on, our troubles will be miles away!

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us,
Gather near to us once more...

Merry Christmas to all..! I've just cam back from my graduation trip and I'm all tanned-up! This is what happens after swimming for 3 continuous days! =D

Well, anyway, I've had so much fun and I'll be missing all my friends for a long, long time. We must come out for a gathering some day!! We've been up and over the mountain, under the sea and also "ate up" the whole island in Penang!
  • I woke up at 5am on the bus and my breath was taken away by the starry night sky I can see from the bus and marveled at it the whole night!
  • I've saw about 5 or 6 shooting stars under the starry night sky in Langkawi.
  • I've waited, but unsuccessfully, for the sun to rise without sleeping the whole night with a bunch of friends by our hotel pool side and also the beach. =D
  • I've enjoyed waking people up in the middle of the night just for fun~ =P
  • I've went chocolate hunting in Langkawi.
  • I've played on a wheelchair in my hotel room because "someone" sprained her ankle just by walking on the streets in Penang... = =
  • I've also ate my Tang Yuan made by my classmates this year in Cameron Highlands.
  • I've saw the boys in my class go drunk in Langkawi because beer there is so darn cheap! =S Beer made the good boys go bad... Sigh!
  • I've met some old friends in Penang.
  • I saw baby sharks in the sea in Pulau Payar!
  • I've just realized that most of the boys in my class can't swim and only blame Gulu for not catching the ball when we play games in the pool. = =
  • I've had a few sips of beer but I still don't like it!
  • I felt a little seasick because of the waves...
  • I've waited for 3 hours just to be transported from the island to the boat which was about 10m away from the island because of the waves while crazily singing away with QF.
  • I've made a rock skipped 2 times on the surface of the water!
  • I've hugged my friends and cried before going home...
  • I'm beginning to miss my friends...

These 5 days and 7 nights was no doubt memorable and is deeply etched in my heart and my memories forever and always!

So until we meet again friends... May our futures collide so that we can meet again someday!

Go 5S2! Class of 2009... We've fought, succeeded together. What's next? Bring up the challenge! We can manage it, whatever it is!

A Lesson Learnt...

I've stayed over at Ling Wei's house on the last day of SPM and like before, her mum bought us a scrumptious meal. Pizza and KFC'S Cheezy Wedges~~ O.o But we've also cooked some spagetthi before that. FULL... So we decided to take a walk. And a long, long walk around Ling Wei's neighbourhood. Actually, we've decided to walk to my teacher's house, but after we reached her house, she told us that she wasn't home... = = So we took about 1 and a half hours to walk to and fro... That's not a bad thing! Burn off all those calories we've just taken in! =P

The next day, we've initially agreed to wake up at 8.30am and depart at 9.30am. But we were too worn out and slept till 9.15am.

Skip skip skip to the part we went skating and after that. Because the point of this post is not about that..

When we were skating, we met my friends who also went to skate and we had quite a blast. But there was too many people which made the 'fast skating' process hard... =P

After skating, we went to have our lunch. They've had Ramen and I've had McD and Aunty Anne's. This was because I have a tight budget... T__________T

So after eating, they went shopping and we went to a pet shop and marvelled over the chubby, tiny little dwarf hamsters.. Soooooo Kyute~

At about 5pm, they have to go. So I decided to take the bus to the train station and take the train back home. This is where my dumb luck begin.....

First, it was raining and I thought EVERY mini bus will go to the train station. So I thought I was lucky because there already was a mini bus waiting there already. So I just hopped on without looking at it's destinations... After that, I saw the bus going to Puchong and IOI Mall... @_@ How the heck did I end up here?! So I asked the bus driver if he is going back to Sunway. He said he will. So I just continued following the bus around for an hour and a half..

Ok, so I was back in Sunway and I've came back to the places before the bus drove to Puchong. I began to feel funny. After half an hour or so, I asked one of the passenger on the bus, is this the KTM station? She said, "Bus ini tak pergi ke KTM lah..." @_______@ I quickly hopped of the bus and waited for another.

Because of the heavy rain, there was also the heavy traffic, which caused me to wait for another hour for the next bus to come. It was raining and I was cold.. Luckily I was wearing my long-sleeved T-shirt. And my phone's battery has a remaining 23% left... So I waited in the dark and cold place, hiding under a shed that's not even a bus stop.

After an hour, the right bus finally came! Thank God! I thought I was gonna be stuck up here for who knows how long.

So I've safely reached the train station, bought the ticket and waited for the next train to come by reading Cecilia Ahern's "P.S. I Love You"... Awwww....

There was one train, which was pulled by a cargo. It looked like it was spoilt and there was a sign that said "Limited Stop only" and it will only stop until Shah Alam. Ok, so I waited...

After half and hour, another train came. Yes! So I boarded this train. And got back to Bkt Badak safely where my paremts were already waiting.. Hehe.

Reached my HOME SWEET HOME at 9.15pm after departing from Sunway at 5pm... Grrrrrreeeeeatttttt....

Hi~ I'm back!

It had been 4 months since I've blogged and tomorrow, I'll be having my longest holiday in my life!!

1 day to total freedom, 1 day to a brand new life, 1 day to the longest holiday in my life, 1 day to the last time I step into my high school this year, 1 day to a whole December of partying~ =DD

I'll be busy for the whole December, after my SPM. Two choirs to attend and 2 vacations to go to.. Haha! I'll be going to Langkawi, Penang and also Cameron Highlands for my Grad. Trip. I hope it won't be boring... =_____________= Because those were the places when I went for my primary school graduation trip. So there I will be adding more chocolate to my "vault" (my fridge) at home. =P My little brother had just came back from Langkawi last month and he bought quite a lot of chocolate and I'll be buying much much more..

After coming back from my trip on Christmas Eve, I think there's gonna be a Christmas party somewhere that I'll be attending.

Then, I'll be going for choir practices for 2 days then off to Singapore!!! =D

Hmmm.... I'm not really sure what to write anymore. Maybe because I stopped blogging for such a long time.

Anyway, I had been using the computer for these 4 months. =P Unable to keep my promise to myself...

Oh, right. Our graduation ceremony was, as usual, tearful. And we rocked out Neway after that!!! Hehe...

Remembering MJ...

I've heard of his name since I was like, 4 or 5?

This was because my dad bought his concert VCD and we played it like everyday! My dad, wasn't really into Chinese singers then, other than Teressa Teng. He knew more English songs and I've seen pictures of him when he was in his 20's. His hair was, maybe, the latest fashion then. But not the afro kinda hairstyle, which would look really scary! =P In the picture, he was posing next to a motorcycle or "jumping" with his buddies. And boy, could he dance! So I'm not surprised that he danced when someone pulled him out of the crowd to dance at a hotel Christmas Eve party.

So back to MJ. I have memories of watching his MV's on TV, or was it my dad's VCD?

I remembered the MV of Black or White where the little guy who acted in Home Alone was in the MV before the song started. His dad was calling him to turn off stereo because it was too loud and asked him to go to bed. But instead of turning it off, he pushed the larger stereo system into the living room, put on his sunshades, pulgged in his electric guitar, and tuned the amplifier to the loudest. When he played, his father who was sitting on the couch, flew off to Africa. And that was where MJ started singing. I also remembered the part where he was singing on top of the Statue of Liberty, dancing with the Thai's, the Indian, the Red Indians and the part where they took shots of people of various races singing and that was really funny! This was one of my favorite songs!

Thriller! I didn't remember much of the video but I remember the song. Scary MV even when I watch it now... There was the typical high pitched scream from a girl which became like the symbol of horror movies then. I saw those dance moves in 13 going on 30 and thought that it was really funny... Lol! But still, that was classic!

Then, there was Remember the Time. The Egyptian King (who I recently realized that it was Eddie Murphy) was looking for a entertainer to like cheer the Queen up, but no one impressed him. But then someone came in with a cape. He turned into golden sand and became MJ... That was what I remembered, but I'll watch the video again..

You Are Not Alone, I am here with you, though we're far apart, you're always in my heart... I remembered watching this MV too. But the only thing I remembered was he was singing in a pool with a waterfall and in a hall.

Heal the World and We are the World were two of my favorite songs by him. This showed how much he cared for the poor and needy around the world.

Michael Jackson held a World Record for the celebrity that donated to the most charities and also many more world records including, he most Grammy Awards won in a year, most hit singles in the UK charts in a year, best selling album of all time, longest span of No.1 hits by an R&B artist, best selling music video, highest annual earnings ever for a pop star, and most successful pop music family.

As a child, Michael Jackson was abused by his father who hit him with his belt whenever he did some wrong moves in rehearsals. He didn't have a happy and carefree childhood like every one else. Instead, he was always in the studio recording or filming.

Together with his brothers, Michael was like the lead singer in their group, the Jackson 5. My mum told me about this group when I first heard of Michael Jackson. They sang numerous classics such as, I'll Be There and ABC.

A fan or not, I give him my highest respects and feel sorry for his heartbreaking and tragic past. It's all behind him now and I hope that he is living life the way he wants now wherever he is. I give my deepest condolences to his family for such a loss. He will be forever missed.

May your soul Rest In Peace, the King of Pop.

Death of another King...

Michael Jackson
Aug. 29, 1958 - June. 25, 2009

Yesterday was my mum's birthday. But at the same time, it was also a very tragic day for everyone. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died at a young age of 50 due to cardiac arrest in his home in Los Angeles.

I heard about this from the news on the radio and I couldn't believe my ears! It felt so surreal as he was like, doing fine all this while. This news will leave girls all around the world crying and mourning his loss. I'm sure that his family, especially his brothers and little sister, Janet, will be heart-broken.

Michael Jackson was said to rank alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensation of all time. He was born into a family of singers. At a young age of 4, he started singing with his brothers in a group called, the Jackson 5. They sang timeless classics and the one which I loved the most was I'll Be There. His little sister, Janet Jackson, followed his brother's footsteps and became a star that shined on her own.

Michael Jackson was known for his dance moves, like the Moonwalk, and songs like, "Thriller", "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Black and White", " Heal the World" and also "You Are Not Alone", "Man in the Mirror" that dazzled the billboards at that time. His 1982 album, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold world wide.

Not only his songs and dance moves became an influence to people around the world, he even became a fashion icon. His red-leather jacket which was seen on the music video of Thriller had made everyone wanting to own a leather jacket like him. He was commonly seen in jackets sewed with glittering gemstones and sunshades. Also, he was often seen in a white t-shirt, which was always "flying", and glossy leather shoes which was ideal for his dance moves.

He married Lisa Marie Presley, the late Elvis Presley's only daughter. But they were divorced in 1996 after two years of marriage.

Jackson caused a furor in 2002 when he playfully dangled his infant son, Prince Michael II, over a hotel balcony in Berlin while a throng of fans watched from below.

In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him, and of engaging in strange and inappropriate behavior with other children.

I was not a huge fan of his but I respected him for making such a change to the music industry. Also, I do not know whether the rumors are true, but he was still a man of many talent.

The world had again lost a true musician after the death of Elvis Presley.

He bid us goodbye too soon and he will be deeply missed.

To the King of Pop, may your soul rest in peace... =(
