Farewell To The King
Finally found time to update here. And not to mention I just have to. I believe this news is quite popular right now. Yeah, Michael Jackson had passed away due to heart attack.
Well, for people in my generation, he is indeed a pop icon. Even I should say a legend. He inspired many new artistes who tried to be on par with him and for us, we tried to mimic him. Like his fashion sense and of course, his dance moves. I did had my fair share of trying to perfect his moonwalk back then but don't ask me to do now...legs getting rusty. LOL
But we do not know him just because of his music and dance moves. We actually knew him. Through his music. Through his life. Unlike us, we grew up on MacDonald's french fries and cola, he didn't have much of a childhood. Remember the song "Childhood"? He started singing at the age of 8 with his brothers whom they were forced by their abusive father. He did make it big but unknown to others, he had to pay a price for it. His entire life is all about creating music for us and to tell his story.
He was indeed a strong person too. Despite able to survive countless facial surgeries to alter his face, he was still living strong. As a performer and as a person. He seemed unwillingly to remember his sad past so he felt he had to change physically. And for his strange behavour, I would say that he was plainly making up for his lost childhood. Every time we saw him, it was always his dazzling self. But we never remembered or thought how did he manage to get this far. It is a common norm that people put up a brave front to hide their weaknesses and I felt that MJ is a perfect example. No matter how much you can pretend to be happy, indifferent, ignorant or angry, you can't deny the fact that the past still matters a lot. It makes what we are now. Like my mother used to say this..."When you had your fun, remember to come back home." Think about it. ^^
Ironically, people started to talk about MJ after his death just like my friend said. When he was still around, no one did...only when his bad news surfaced. Why we have to start regretting or remembering when things had gone to a point of no return? We could have given enough chances. Like MJ, who was given another chance by doing comeback concerts after so much scandals. Sometimes, it is wise to ease up and let things go.
Well, the radio's blasting his songs 24/7. To me, MJ will be deeply remembered. For what he is and what he gave us. May you rest in peace, MJ.

The Flame Never Dies
Sometimes I really can't understand my actions. Why do I still have to take his feelings into consideration? I can do or say whatever I want...yet I hesitate. I still care about him in the end.
Well, I added a link to my Facebook account at the bottom. Scroll down to find it. Maybe I will change the blogskin soon. Hope things get better though.

Reprise
I shouldn't have walked past and saw them accidentally.
I know I should be strong but my tears just can't stop.
It hurts. It still hurts.

Too Much Cheese
I just came back from having dinner and a trip down to the arcade with Simon. We met up when he said he need to go to Kinokuniya at Liang Court to browse the Japanese magazines.
We settled dinner at this Japanese Italian restaurant called Saizeriya. The funny thing about this restaurant is that the items are priced ending with 8 cents. He ordered a cheese coated beef steak and Boria with meat sauce while I ordered a cheese coated chicken steak and Boria with shrimps. Well, Boria is actually cheese baked rice. I actually thought it was some soup...so I am quite full now. LOL. Then as usual, he shared with me his racist jokes he heard from reservist and we chatted.
Then I took him to a toy collectible store next to Funan which I just discovered recently. And it is like poison to him instantly. Haha! Guess I will see him frequenting there in future. LOL. Finally, we walked all the way to Bugis and took a peek at the arcade. Then home sweet home.
Seems like I must motivate myself to start the plan. No point admiring. Period.

Letting It Out
Well, people might say I look strong literally but in actual, I am quite weak mentally. I really don't know how long I can take this. So, if you are reading this, please give me one more chance again. I will make up to you all.
It appears that someone else is having a hard time too or so. Well, it's a norm that I am the only person in the group who will ask if anyone would want to sing. But yesterday, Stanley got us out to sing. In the end, only 3 of us went. And it got screwed up somehow. Well, there are 2 Kbox venues in Ang Mo Kio so I thought that they might go to the one at Big Mac Centre, thus I made a booking there. Then later, I received a call from Stanley saying he had arrived
BUT he was at the one at Broadway Plaza. I had to cancel the booking back at Big Mac Centre.
Throughout the session, Stanley sang furiously. As in, it was unusual for him to be so engrossed. And the songs he chose...well...love songs? And he had 2 glasses of beer while we filled ourselves up with warm honey lemon. For a moment, I thought he was drunk as he acted aggressively. For me, I sang the usual songs and a couple of English ballads. Then I jumped to the Japanese songs when our time was about up. LOL!
Well, I need to thank Stanley somehow for organising it. I definitely need to unwind. Sadly, our class outing seems to falter away...I think I better do something about it. Somehow...lol.
