Rest in peace, Michael

26 Jun 09, Michael Jackson had passed away.

Until now i still cant believed what had just happen.
He was so young... 51 years old... and he was planning for concerts in London which was suppose to kick off in July 09.
What a great man he was, and yet he suffers so much because he was being perceived as weird. He had done many great things to help out the poor, the children, and people who were ill. I cant imagine someone like him would actually went to Iraq to visit the wounded during a time of war. It never did once crossed my mind.

Yet all those who were blinded by the press and those who cant accept people who are different, thinks that Michael is crazy, psycho, and a child molester. Because they cant accept or believe that anyone can be this great, selfless and remain child like through out their life. Micheal was not perfect, he had his problems. He never had a normal childhood since the age of 5. And he wasn't really emotion stable.

Granted, I'm not a hardcore fan and I didnt follow his news till he passed away. But I for one, never believe media's allegations towards him nor do i bad mouthed him. Because I believe that a man will remain innocent unless proven otherwise

But still I cant believe how evil a man can be.
To make money, press and media try to find ways to bring him down because gossip sells and everyone wants to dig dirt out of him even if it's non existence. Parents of the cancer children whom Michael open his home and heart to, turned against him by accusing him of child molestation. And now after he had passed on to the lights, the media starts making allegations that his children weren't his.

God, how hurtful these can be?
I dont know. And I hope I will never get to experience such injustice and betrayal through out my life. I only prayed that Michael will finally be able to rest in peace and hope that no harm will go to his family and children.


Here's one of the video that his fan made, and I really like how happy he seems to be.

Coldplay - Fix you



When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Cheerful and simple guy, but come across as somewhat slow...
however he's not someone to be belittled of...
(you will see...hehehehe)





Kirenenko:

Usually mind his own business.
A dangerous man that stops at nothing when he is being angered.
Virtually unstoppable...or so it seems

Cats - Musical

Finally bought the ticket and watched the musical~!!!
Lalalalala~
Ok.. so yes... as you guys know i was looking for pple to go with me to watch it... but drag here drag there.. =.=" i finally found Miss Hui Mian to join me :)

Synopsis:
The Jellicle Ball takes place once a year, and is a special night where all Jellicle cats get together in the junkyard and follow their urge to dance under the full moon. The antagonist of the show is Mcavity, a criminal (yet mysteriously irresistible) feline. At the end of the Ball, Old Deuteronomy, the leader of the cats, takes a selected cat to the Heaviside Layer (a sort of "cat-heaven") to be reborn.

Review:
Am happy about the show and also the seat too.. at first i thought i was at the 3rd row... apparently i'm at the 1st instead~! kinda fun having the cats crawling in and out of the "drain" which is placed right in front of me.. XD
all in all i must say the show is enjoyable.. had a fun time watching it.. :)
Would definitely recommend to go for the Category B seats.. the only thing sad is that i din really know the actors and actresses will have interaction during the intermission... should have brought along my digital camera... bleah..

Here are some photos that I have taken tat day :D
ps:cos it's taken using iphone hence some of the photos are not clear.



Jellicle cats gathered at the Ball..

WOOSH~! JOBLESS NO MORE

YES... just like wat you see on my header is wat i'm gonna write about... :D
hahahaha~ yay!~ am finally out of my jobless status... just in time before the uni pple flood the market... lucky i must say...
many thanks to those who prayed for me as well as those who sent potential job opportunities to me :)
hehehe... feeling the love~~~ ^-^
ok.. yes... let's tok about the job
this is a 1 yr contract job(renewable) in an MNC, job scope.. it's internal audit...
and nononono~ it's not account or anything to do with alot of figures... it's about making sure project teams follow the global procedure given. simple as tat..

Job prospect.... seriously dont think so.. from what i gathered from pple who work in the same company, this job will be forever a contract job there's no or VERY little chance of getting a perm in what i'm doing.. the only possibility is that i get to switch to a different department doing some other things. But given the current economy state.. i think this is good enough... maybe i can get to do some studying then move on to a better place(regardless within the same company or to another company :) )

hopefully my stay in this job will starts well ends well :)
