many mistake me as a very athletic person - not sure if I really do look the part (doubt so)
the truth is, I'm the total opposite. Don't get me wrong, I love sports. I like the sweating, the teamwork, winning or losing doesn't really matter to me. There's only one thing that's keeping me away from it. Many think I'm making it up psychologically - maybe I really am - but I'm pretty determined that it's one of the biggest factor.
My bone structure from the knees to my toes is, uhm, a little distorted.
My kneecaps, unlike others, are slightly facing outwards and that causes my calves to kick in the same direction resulting both of my kneeheel to collide which each other everytime I walk/run. I only stand by pressuring my body weight on both end sides of my feet causing me to lose much balance, if compared to others.
 and thats why I cant jump or squat.on the better days, they would ask if I was a ballerina.on other days, they would comment that I walk like a frog.but I'm already all used to it and not ashamed.this was also on of the better reasons/excuses to why I never took part in the running competitions in school. now my run is called "The Penguin Run". Do you have an animal run? :P아직도 믿어지지않은다. 어린시절 부터 감탄하던 그 무대카리스마 그가 위해서 유감한다.

The trip back to Sri Garden was horrible. Security was abusively tight, it ripped of the rights of visitors (especially ex students, apparently) to tour the school compound. This meant none of the students were allowed to visit their ex-teachers, the canteen, not even the school hall.
The last time we were allowed to walk in from the front gate (I.U Day 2009), it was so funny because we weren't allowed to visit the washrooms in pairs (?) nor were we allowed to walk around the compound, even before the event started. I love the school, but only for the times and memories it gave me.
Luckily I was there for a reason, and didn't unsuspiciously drop by like I wanted to before. Had to help Sam out with her documentation and to pass Hor Yin his college notes two days due before his finals. Woops.
After that it was Pavillion for some er, catching up.
 I never thought of taking pictures of the mall but Sam was all excited to see her homeland after all that overrated departmental stores in Seoul so there. This reminded me of the little Einstein's in Night at the Museum II.  Remember the "idol" I talked about few posts back pfft.  This was a total con! The display of this beef kuay teow was flooded with ingredients but the real one turned out totally different.  Krispy Kreme Er, and a picture I said I would definitely post no matter if it turns out really ugly in all that haste. And so it did turn out.....weird .  So scary la think of it already 6 years ini Bruce Lee jadi kawan saya.tapi dalam gambar ini he berkelookinglike dia manyak menakuti I. |

Many must have been sick of all the limelight that the late MJ has been receiving for the past few days, but I hope you would take the time and read through this post whole heartedly because I have a point to prove. It is especially for the anti's of Michael who only nodded heads to all allegations pushed to this man with no significant proof despite the decision that the High Court made, proving he was NOT guilty due to insufficient proof of anything he was accused for.  My Encounter With Him
I was seven.
It was the first and only time he stood infront of my eyes, but I know that that single chance would be valuable to many who never got a glimpse at him. As a child, I don't have many vivid memories of him rocking the stage but what I do remember is the fact that there were two screaming young men sitting at the row right next to me few minutes before Michael made his grand entrance and that about 13 of our family members occupied the seats, jumping for him to perform. Nick was there too, only in my mom's wombs.
Everything about Michael Jackson was grand. After the concert, there was a conversation about how his costumes had airconditioners plugged to it. Ever since that day, I have always kept an eye on MJ's costumes whenever I saw him on TV because I never saw the mentioned airconditioners. I never kept up with his music but I knew I loved him as an artist; his accomplishments were more than applaudable.
Nick was then borned and when he turned about 3-4 he started shuffling all the things in the CD rack, ignored everything but amazingly only picked out all of Michael's albums that my parents bought back then. His laser CD's, music video collections, CD's and cassettes were handpicked. He watched it once, twice and started watching it every single day without fail, the moment he opened his eyes. I always sat next to him, mesmerized all over again every time I saw him by this friendly charisma that executed from Michael.
That was how I learnt the lyrics to Michael's most popular hits.
It's really rare to locate a singer whose songs all lasts an entire lifetime. Evergreen.
I loved Thriller - the music video was a masterpiece. All of Michael's songs had a morale value instilled in them but I wonder why did all that evolve into air. The media never seemed to eccentuate on what good he did, and only bothered to push allegations at this poor man. I don't know if its because I'm a pro MJ but all I know is that all these harsh remarks never did leave a stain in my pure memory of this music legend. These people are pressured all because they are top hit celebrities and people want to make money out of them.
On His Appearance
I was on CNN and the anchors were interviewing one of Michale's close friend and she asked him about Michael's reason to his distorted face. No wait, she used the word "undescribable". The friend then proceeded to assume that Michael did it because he didn't want to look like his father whom he hated. I believe Michael did have a good reason to his surgery. Why are we discriminating somebody just because of how they look and if they have performed plastic surgery. Michael needed it due to health reasons or for psychological issues like having a low self esteem. Why aren't celebrities allowed self esteem issues?
Many only nodded and took in the facts that the media fed them so I took abit of angsty research because I knew there must be a reason to all his doings
His Skin Colour
Michael suffered from a rare skin disease called the vitiligo that rips the pigmentations off the skin. Only 2 percent of the people in the world suffer from this and as a top listing celebrity would you expect him to walk around in white spots? It was only natural for Michael to bleach himself white so he could continue performing and making performances.
So hey, all these while they have been laughing at Michael for having a skin disease? Good to know.
Michael's Plastic Jon
Michael lived his childhood with his abusive father who always referred to his nose as BIG. So what would you do if you had alot of money, and you grew up hearing people tell you that you have a BIG NOSE all your life if compared to others?
Good morning, Big Nose. Eat your lunch, Big Nose.
Felt good, didn't it.
And I would definitely take his friend's opinion to him agreeing to plastic surgery to because he definitely didn't want to look like his father, but if I were allowed an opinion - I would say he was trying to earn a recognition from his dad by proving to him that he could have a smaller, thinner nose.
His "Wrongdoings"
I'm angry at his death.
I'm angry because he didn't leave as a happy innocent man. I know he deserved all the happiness he could get. Dangling a baby out of a balcony, molesting children. Yeah big deal, but hey on second thought, isn't it the people, the media, that put him into such psychological state. None of us knows if the statement about him molesting the kids were true, and the way they described him to be a beast for luring the kids into the park was just plain rubbish in my frank opinion.Would you imagine Michael Jackson walking out to the streets and saying "Hi, would you like to come to my park?". The parents were the one who took their kids their for goodness sake and for being all angsty and deep disbelief that MJ "molested" their child, they shut up after MJ gave then a sum of money.
So why did MJ give them the money? Because he was guilty? If it was so simple, and if it was true and the parents were REALLY upset, no amount of money could have replaced their child's loss. Nobody knew if he really did molest the kids - if touching LITTLE CHILDREN was considered as molest, then all parents in the world would have been top notch molesters.
But the truth remains unrevealed.
His Contribution
Everybody of different races and age in this planet knows Michael Jackson. His scheduled concerts might have been planned to revive him ecomically after all that loss, but really, 50 concerts? Isn't that a little too much? I can't think of another reason but to accomodate more of his fans from around the world because he is aware that he is no longer capable of doing this few years later.
The cause of his death is unknown but if I was allowed two opinions, one would be that he had taken an overdose of drugs for health reasons and the other being over exhausted because of all that practice for his fans. If he really didn't care, he would have just gone on stage belt a few songs and leave damn.
Being Forgotten
They say you don't learn to appreciate until you have lost it.
Many seem to have forget that Michael is no doubt the best performer and he was the first of all trends in the dance world today. He was possible the best singer who never overdid things unlike the many lot now.
Michael also donated to 36 charity organisations and was also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for his contributions as the Most CharitableHumanitarians Of All Times and that makes him sweetest person for putting actions into words. He never came out and held press confrences declaring his contributions. What did people say about this?
All of Michael's song had a unity value instilled in them
I can go on and on about this but I hope people would just stop making bad remarks about Michael Jackson. There are drinks named after him, he was the legend of music and Black and White. Anyways, here's a song that I totally loved from Michael - "Heal the World".

today my real favorite childhood idol passed away.I'm glad I was there at his concert, only a few rows away from stage. I was only 7 then, but I know I loved the show.I'd love to write a tribute, how I grew up with MJ and how I thought all those allegations led to nothing but a lonely man -- but the day will not be today.
Your candle burned out long before. Your legend never did

It has been a classic story.Approximately 15 years back, there was a young girl. Her parents would always bring her to the wet market in the morning so that she can get her stickers that sold for RM 1 each. She was very fond of stickers and was always on the hunt for new Sailormoon editions. Her grandmother and mother would leave her at the store with her dad so that she can look around while they do their grocery shopping. The girl was always a happy girl on mornings like these for two reasons.1) Because she could get her stickers2) Because there was always a white van that always played her favorite local singer's music videos. The uncle that owned the van could recognize her after a few visits and if by any chance he was playing some other CD's, he would change it to her favorite singers'. She always stood there for at least 4-5 music videos until her mother came to pick her up. The singers were as young as her, if not the same age, and she was mesmerized by their popularity and their catchy tunes that sounded perfect to her ears (back then).Few years later, after she grew old enough and stopped getting stickers, the little girl forgot about the wet market - and the group of singers as well. One fine day, when it was the first day of school her friends were running around telling each other that someone famous has been enrolled and that the person was going to be in the same year as she was. The moment she heard it she was slightly dumbfounded.It was one of the four members of the group that she spent time watching at the wet market few years back.How could this happen? "Is she going to be my friend, is she going to look at me? Maybe even if we don't become friends, I can get her to sign my tapes ", she thought.Later that day during recess, when her friends and her were playing in the garden, picking out honey flowers, the person came. She wasn't very well versed in English but we could understand that she wanted to join us. That was the very first time she met eyes with her childhood idol. They decided to play Pepsi Cola, where we would have to hold hands and form a circle. The little girl was allocated right next to her then idol coincidentally and the first thing she blurted out of being nervous was"Hi, who are you? Whats your name?"Very smart.
She must have noticed that the girl has been staring at her for ages and now shes asking what her name is. "I'm Kai Chee"The girl was a little surprised because she didn't remember Kai Chee as her name in the albums and music videos. It was something else."Oh, Im Natalie"Natalie thought she acted like she was in total darkness perfectly infront of her childhood idol. Little did she know that Kai Chee kept that memory of Natalie until today. She knew that Natalie was totally aware of who she was but still proceeded to ask for an introduction. Natalie and Kai Chee became fast friends and the rest was history. She gave Kai Chee an English name called Samantha because she loved giving names to her friends that had Chinese names, she spat cincau flakes all over Kai Chee because they were having a funny conversation, they went through secondary together and finally, went to Korea to pursue their education. Enrolled in different universities, they seldom met but the friendship has always been strong.I, was that Natalie.The only difference back now and then, is that I am no longer aware that Samantha is a singer (unless we go for karaoke). I also try hard to forget the fact that I was a fan (if not an avid one) but she never forgets to remind me by telling me how we met from top to toe. Two days ago, my friends and I went for a karaoke session and was browsing through the singers when we saw Four Golden Princess. We then decided to sing Sam's song but we didn't know the lyrics/rhythm to it so we just took a picture with her just to say our hellos.This, is Kai Chee.I have to admit she looks the ugliest of all members on prints and camera. Ugly is the right word although she appears entirely different (definitely better looking in real life. alot better looking)But if I would have to choose the best out of her group today, it would be her because er...she has outgrown her dark phase of life pfft.

Sam and I went on a dimsum craze one night after finding out that we are attracted by dimsum partly because of the mango pudding that comes after. After much discussion we decided that we really should go out and have dimsum for breakfast. We didn't forget about it but it just didn't happen for about a month or so (or was it few months pfft. 8 months ago still feels like weeks ago) and now finally we have made it. We have finally made it!
We have made it to dimsum............all thanks to Aaron pfft.
Well since he is leaving in about a weeks time we decided to take this opportunity to like gather pfft.
  Gin who bothered to dress decently even if only just for breakfast with our very own Bruce Lee! Doesn't he look like Bruce Lee!  D1S1 (inside joke) and mata sepit aku. After that we hung around Gin's place for awhile after Aaron picked his girlfriend and ate rotten mangosteens. Oh and we realised alot of snacks and other stuff in her house are all either expired or very near the expiry date.
Warning : Do Not Eat Anything In Ginny's House Because...
Later, I had to head down(or up pfft) to Kepong for some fitting session for the shoot tomorrow so Bruce Lee memandu aku there. Thanks banyak and sorry for the trouble! The whole time we were looking for the place it was on my left but I kept looking right pfft.
 Siew Wan and Joey who was there to hang around with Moon.  Moon Yee's car aircond decided to break down so we had roller coaster ride at 120kmph  Has been REALLY long since we did one of these and we started to realise we didn't do anything like the classic peace sign or lips purk! Isn't this just like a perfect normal state of mind picture!\ Oh anyways, Moon was commenting about my hair (how thin it has become etc) then started to do something to my head (which I forgot) when Siew Wan exclaimed "DONT DO ANYTHING TO HER HAIR! HER HAIR IS THINNING LAREADY!!" After that she started doubting her words and was trying to prove to me it wasn't that bad so she stroke her hands through my hair and was welcomed with er...more hair. She eye wided and blurted in disbelief then proceeded to avoid touching my head anymore pfft. I was a litte shocked so I decided to stroke it myself and found this at the end of my stroking.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
 Not alot. But isn't this amount of hair you get when you're conditioning your hair after a long time? Well I got them when I just lightly stroked it PFFT Siew Wan's latter reaction after seeing that bug of hair was..
"WAH ON THE FLOOR ALSO SO MANY!!!"

Hello.
I'm having a SERIOUS hairfall problem. I used to have really thick long hair but now its thinned down to the extend that I can tie them with the cheap economical thin black bands. I have been tying them up for the past few months to prevent them from falling but it just won't do!
It's almost bed time and I let my hair go so that it could catch some "fresh air" but I can feel them falling every 10 seconds onto my shoulders and laps, I am not kidding. At this rate I'll be bald in no time.I was going to chop them off coming Monday because it did stop the hairfalling for awhile when it wasn't this serious back then but something came in schedule on Wednesday so I have to hold till then.
I'm pretty sure its not because of what I eat because I am quite a round eater, except for peas, nuts, cakes, capsicums. Maybe I'm lacking of sugar, since I don't take sweet things almost at all, Coke's an exception but hey, since Coke is the sweetest of all shouldn't it neutralise my body PH a little bit? Well, I don't take it everyday or every week but I do get a sip occasionally. At least once in two weeks. =/
My right thigh is flooded with hair. T_______T
I think I just lost at least 30 hair strands while typing this.

Hello.
You know I'm really bad at giving examples when in the midst of conversation because I always tend to run away from the topic and new ideas of examples keep coming in so everytime I'm giving you an example I'm most of the time struggling trying to mix all the ideas together and put them all in one PFFT.
then at the end of the day, only two things can happen
one, the opposite party stares blankly for a few seconds and finally realises that I'm done with my example so s(he) nods in agreement despite not being able to understand
two, the opposite party just goes "what are you talking about?!"
T__________________________________________T
So the other day I was talking to Ivy at Fran about certain characters of different people, and there was this point of the conversation when I was trying to give examples but it turned out to be a little out of the coast pfft. "So for example Veronica is Veronica. But of course Veronica is Veronica lah." Both of them stared at me for awhile and bursted in laughter. I was wondering why for a few seconds then only I realised where went wrong pfft. This means along my sentence all I'm thinking of is Veronica. So this is how bad I am at giving examples PFFT.

2:10 AM
All I did was bend my back 45 degrees to screw off some letters from a humungous name plate that was 28 sizes of me (certain because we measured!) and only for perhaps 5 minutes.
I'm now stuck with a back muscle ache that has never been so bad before and its not hinting to leave any time soon!
I always get muscle aches most probably because I don't work out enough, or almost not at all. Well, that's why I need college. That is when I get to walk with a reason because if not I'd never get myself to move an inch.
Although in pain, choi choi choi first but I kind of like the feeling of having the backache! When you apply ointment and put pressure on it, the relaxing feeling is nothing but absolute kemarvelousness! Ini panggil ambil susah sendiri.
Tapi tidak apa. I am strong horse pfft.
My room is in a big mess, but I can't seem to make it stay clean for more than 48 hours everytime after dreadful housekeeping sessions! I cleaned it the night before yesterday right after I came back from dinner because I felt like doing it. Lifted the mattress off the and cleaned, wiped everything underneath, rearranged the boxes that has everything I don't need but cannot throw away.
Changed my bedsheets because they all ran up from position and I kept sleeping on the mattress with the bedsheets on top of me PFFT. Vacuumed and handpicked my hair thats literally everywhere - my bed, the floor, the cushion in the living room, the soap stand in the bathroom, the basin, the...you get my point. So its pretty freaky to live with me because you might suffer from suspicions of me being very sick to some fatal disease. choi choi choi.
Oh now I see the picture O.O
maybe it was from lifting the Queen size mattress - but it was alright before so I doubt the possiblities.
I am a lazy Natalie. I have a stack of clothes thats piled up as tall as my upper posture seated on the left corner of my bed but I have "no time" to put them back in the closet because it "takes alot of time" arranging them according to order.
Er
Tomorrow I take picture of the humungous board okay.
I know youre interested to see PFFT.
(edit : Eh, I have the muscle ache patch behind my back for like 2 hours already. Should I take it off or sleep with it pfft because the instruction never said anything about post-application.)\\
(edit edit : Oh, I just realised nobody's going to reply me in time before I go to bed. Goodnight, I'm going to sleep with it. Tomorrow fung sap pfft)

살다가 숨이 멈추는때가 있곤하다. 그럴때는 할수없이 쉬게해주고 머리속의 시계도 정지한다. 그래서 그런지 내가 현실에 흐르는 세월에 밀리고 뒤에 쫓아가곤했다. 아니, 하다. 아니, 할것이다. 내가 자기의 젤 큰 문제가 뚜렷하지만 해결은 잘 안되는게 혼란스럽다. 해결하나마 똑 같은데 뭐. 과거는 영구히 있을거고 지울수없는 추억들이다.
세월이참 빠르다. 세월이 참 빠르다.
닿지도 못했는데도 스쳐간 시간이 누구나 아끼진않고 냉정하게 떠나버린것이다.
시간이 금이라고해도 남의 감정을 가지고 흐르면 안되는거지.
나는 내 속이랑 인사도 못 했는데도 이렇게 흠쳐가나요?
가을이 곧 다가온다.
내가 이 계절이 아끼는 이유가 있었다. 곱게 떨어지는 나뭇잎들이 늙어서 그런거느냐 슬퍼서 죽거리를 선택한거느냐 늘 궁금했다. 떨어진후에 밟히고 짖여진다. 멀리서 지겨보기만해도 모아서 예뻐해주고싶다. 내눈에 나뭇잎들이 지치고 사랑해줄사람없기때문이다.
그럴때는 내가 뭔가 지겨줄수있다는 생각이드니까.
그러니까.
뒤돌아볼 이유가 없을만큼 나는 운명이랑 거슬지않게 나를위해서 일으킨 길이 쭉 갈것이다.
시간에 밀려도 끝까지, 한거름 한거름식 차지할것이다. 아무리 낯선해도 내 길이니까. 운명에 충분히 믿는 내가 길끝에 보답이 있을거란고 믿는다. 아니, 믿을것이다. 혼자서 가는길이라도.
내 사랑을 아직 못 만났지만 올 시간이 바람이와 내 앞에 나타나게 할것이다.
그때 쯤은 똑이 겠지?
아니.
그때는 바로 시작이지.
각마에서부터, 코, 벌, 입술, 턱, 목에 흐르는 한 방울.
그때는 시작이야.
그래서 그날이 하나도 기대하지않는다.
그네 타는 마음이 젤 편하다. 하늘로 보낼 느낌있으니까.
이런거 우울증이래. 나한테 그냥 스쳐가는 때지.
WOOHOO!
Classes resuming soon - more than delighted.
I love Post It Notes but those kind of notes are really not for me, so stop and save the environment pfft.

Hello!
I have no idea what this is.
 I found it in the Pictures folder named kjldfnnhnhtmhrtkljtmpyt;l,l[pukt[o-0ktrp which basically means its some art piece of the brother. He never names documents appropriately. Does this mean he's growing artistically or does this mean I still have a playful brother pfft.
On another note,
Do you come across people who greet you on Messenger/Facebook without saying their hello's firsthand before anything. Old fashioned you may say but I'm very particular about greetings be it amongst close friends, acquaintances, or total strangers. There are a few exceptions though, but not more than 1-2 of them are exempted from saying hellos - most probably because we're incredibly close, second because I know i'll never get them to, or maybe because it'd sound odd if they actually did say hello *insert MSN angel emoticon
I get disturbed when people come to you and start their conversations directly without greeting you first without a feedforeword. Imagine someone walking up to you in real life out of nowhere while you're grocery shopping and goes
So do you think the black or the blue one is the detergent?
You see my picture?
Well there are some people who greets funnily like OI, WOI, HOI etc. You know what I mean?
I mean seriously, if you actually do bother to type three letters why not change them to Hey instead of the above?
And you know what the funniest thing is? The funniest thing is when I get too irrated I actually ask for a proper greeting and they all go "woah touchy. it's just a greeting man"
Just a greeting?
Just a greeting?
JUST a greeting?
Well, it JUST a greeting to you but its A greeting to me.
So what do I do when people don't say their hellos. I don't reply.
Although fully aware that it's rude to do so, and may even drop a slight hint of snobbishness but draw the clear picture. The person may not mean it the rude way, and perhaps most of the time I take it a little too seriously. It's not because I'm irritated that I choose not to reply but most of the time I make excuses for myself to not acknowledge the message because it doesn't say my name nor says hello, hi, hey, hello there or whatsoever appropriate greeting there is.
I mean, hey I'm not exactly old fashioned.
I still take "Yo"
For instance :)

I only stand by pressuring my body weight on both end sides of my feet causing me to lose much balance, if compared to others.
and thats why I cant jump or squat.on the better days, they would ask if I was a ballerina.on other days, they would comment that I walk like a frog.but I'm already all used to it and not ashamed.this was also on of the better reasons/excuses to why I never took part in the running competitions in school. now my run is called "The Penguin Run". Do you have an animal run? :P아직도 믿어지지않은다. 어린시절 부터 감탄하던 그 무대카리스마 그가 위해서 유감한다.

The trip back to Sri Garden was horrible. Security was abusively tight, it ripped of the rights of visitors (especially ex students, apparently) to tour the school compound. This meant none of the students were allowed to visit their ex-teachers, the canteen, not even the school hall.
The last time we were allowed to walk in from the front gate (I.U Day 2009), it was so funny because we weren't allowed to visit the washrooms in pairs (?) nor were we allowed to walk around the compound, even before the event started. I love the school, but only for the times and memories it gave me.
Luckily I was there for a reason, and didn't unsuspiciously drop by like I wanted to before. Had to help Sam out with her documentation and to pass Hor Yin his college notes two days due before his finals. Woops.
After that it was Pavillion for some er, catching up.
I never thought of taking pictures of the mall but Sam was all excited to see her homeland after all that overrated departmental stores in Seoul so there.This reminded me of the little Einstein's in Night at the Museum II. Remember the "idol" I talked about few posts back pfft. This was a total con! The display of this beef kuay teow was flooded with ingredients but the real one turned out totally different.

I was seven.
It was the first and only time he stood infront of my eyes, but I know that that single chance would be valuable to many who never got a glimpse at him. As a child, I don't have many vivid memories of him rocking the stage but what I do remember is the fact that there were two screaming young men sitting at the row right next to me few minutes before Michael made his grand entrance and that about 13 of our family members occupied the seats, jumping for him to perform. Nick was there too, only in my mom's wombs.
Everything about Michael Jackson was grand. After the concert, there was a conversation about how his costumes had airconditioners plugged to it. Ever since that day, I have always kept an eye on MJ's costumes whenever I saw him on TV because I never saw the mentioned airconditioners. I never kept up with his music but I knew I loved him as an artist; his accomplishments were more than applaudable.
Nick was then borned and when he turned about 3-4 he started shuffling all the things in the CD rack, ignored everything but amazingly only picked out all of Michael's albums that my parents bought back then. His laser CD's, music video collections, CD's and cassettes were handpicked. He watched it once, twice and started watching it every single day without fail, the moment he opened his eyes. I always sat next to him, mesmerized all over again every time I saw him by this friendly charisma that executed from Michael.
That was how I learnt the lyrics to Michael's most popular hits.
It's really rare to locate a singer whose songs all lasts an entire lifetime. Evergreen.
I loved Thriller - the music video was a masterpiece. All of Michael's songs had a morale value instilled in them but I wonder why did all that evolve into air. The media never seemed to eccentuate on what good he did, and only bothered to push allegations at this poor man. I don't know if its because I'm a pro MJ but all I know is that all these harsh remarks never did leave a stain in my pure memory of this music legend. These people are pressured all because they are top hit celebrities and people want to make money out of them.
On His Appearance
I was on CNN and the anchors were interviewing one of Michale's close friend and she asked him about Michael's reason to his distorted face. No wait, she used the word "undescribable". The friend then proceeded to assume that Michael did it because he didn't want to look like his father whom he hated. I believe Michael did have a good reason to his surgery. Why are we discriminating somebody just because of how they look and if they have performed plastic surgery. Michael needed it due to health reasons or for psychological issues like having a low self esteem. Why aren't celebrities allowed self esteem issues?
Many only nodded and took in the facts that the media fed them so I took abit of angsty research because I knew there must be a reason to all his doings
His Skin Colour
Michael suffered from a rare skin disease called the vitiligo that rips the pigmentations off the skin. Only 2 percent of the people in the world suffer from this and as a top listing celebrity would you expect him to walk around in white spots? It was only natural for Michael to bleach himself white so he could continue performing and making performances.
So hey, all these while they have been laughing at Michael for having a skin disease? Good to know.
Michael's Plastic Jon
Michael lived his childhood with his abusive father who always referred to his nose as BIG. So what would you do if you had alot of money, and you grew up hearing people tell you that you have a BIG NOSE all your life if compared to others?
Good morning, Big Nose. Eat your lunch, Big Nose.
Felt good, didn't it.
And I would definitely take his friend's opinion to him agreeing to plastic surgery to because he definitely didn't want to look like his father, but if I were allowed an opinion - I would say he was trying to earn a recognition from his dad by proving to him that he could have a smaller, thinner nose.
His "Wrongdoings"
I'm angry at his death.
I'm angry because he didn't leave as a happy innocent man. I know he deserved all the happiness he could get. Dangling a baby out of a balcony, molesting children. Yeah big deal, but hey on second thought, isn't it the people, the media, that put him into such psychological state. None of us knows if the statement about him molesting the kids were true, and the way they described him to be a beast for luring the kids into the park was just plain rubbish in my frank opinion.Would you imagine Michael Jackson walking out to the streets and saying "Hi, would you like to come to my park?". The parents were the one who took their kids their for goodness sake and for being all angsty and deep disbelief that MJ "molested" their child, they shut up after MJ gave then a sum of money.
So why did MJ give them the money? Because he was guilty? If it was so simple, and if it was true and the parents were REALLY upset, no amount of money could have replaced their child's loss. Nobody knew if he really did molest the kids - if touching LITTLE CHILDREN was considered as molest, then all parents in the world would have been top notch molesters.
But the truth remains unrevealed.
His Contribution
Everybody of different races and age in this planet knows Michael Jackson. His scheduled concerts might have been planned to revive him ecomically after all that loss, but really, 50 concerts? Isn't that a little too much? I can't think of another reason but to accomodate more of his fans from around the world because he is aware that he is no longer capable of doing this few years later.
The cause of his death is unknown but if I was allowed two opinions, one would be that he had taken an overdose of drugs for health reasons and the other being over exhausted because of all that practice for his fans. If he really didn't care, he would have just gone on stage belt a few songs and leave damn.
Being Forgotten
They say you don't learn to appreciate until you have lost it.
Many seem to have forget that Michael is no doubt the best performer and he was the first of all trends in the dance world today. He was possible the best singer who never overdid things unlike the many lot now.
Michael also donated to 36 charity organisations and was also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for his contributions as the Most CharitableHumanitarians Of All Times and that makes him sweetest person for putting actions into words. He never came out and held press confrences declaring his contributions. What did people say about this?
All of Michael's song had a unity value instilled in them
I can go on and on about this but I hope people would just stop making bad remarks about Michael Jackson. There are drinks named after him, he was the legend of music and Black and White. Anyways, here's a song that I totally loved from Michael - "Heal the World".

today my real favorite childhood idol passed away.I'm glad I was there at his concert, only a few rows away from stage. I was only 7 then, but I know I loved the show.I'd love to write a tribute, how I grew up with MJ and how I thought all those allegations led to nothing but a lonely man -- but the day will not be today.
Your candle burned out long before. Your legend never did

It has been a classic story.Approximately 15 years back, there was a young girl. Her parents would always bring her to the wet market in the morning so that she can get her stickers that sold for RM 1 each. She was very fond of stickers and was always on the hunt for new Sailormoon editions. Her grandmother and mother would leave her at the store with her dad so that she can look around while they do their grocery shopping. The girl was always a happy girl on mornings like these for two reasons.1) Because she could get her stickers2) Because there was always a white van that always played her favorite local singer's music videos. The uncle that owned the van could recognize her after a few visits and if by any chance he was playing some other CD's, he would change it to her favorite singers'. She always stood there for at least 4-5 music videos until her mother came to pick her up. The singers were as young as her, if not the same age, and she was mesmerized by their popularity and their catchy tunes that sounded perfect to her ears (back then).Few years later, after she grew old enough and stopped getting stickers, the little girl forgot about the wet market - and the group of singers as well. One fine day, when it was the first day of school her friends were running around telling each other that someone famous has been enrolled and that the person was going to be in the same year as she was. The moment she heard it she was slightly dumbfounded.It was one of the four members of the group that she spent time watching at the wet market few years back.How could this happen? "Is she going to be my friend, is she going to look at me? Maybe even if we don't become friends, I can get her to sign my tapes ", she thought.Later that day during recess, when her friends and her were playing in the garden, picking out honey flowers, the person came. She wasn't very well versed in English but we could understand that she wanted to join us. That was the very first time she met eyes with her childhood idol. They decided to play Pepsi Cola, where we would have to hold hands and form a circle. The little girl was allocated right next to her then idol coincidentally and the first thing she blurted out of being nervous was"Hi, who are you? Whats your name?"Very smart.
She must have noticed that the girl has been staring at her for ages and now shes asking what her name is. "I'm Kai Chee"The girl was a little surprised because she didn't remember Kai Chee as her name in the albums and music videos. It was something else."Oh, Im Natalie"Natalie thought she acted like she was in total darkness perfectly infront of her childhood idol. Little did she know that Kai Chee kept that memory of Natalie until today. She knew that Natalie was totally aware of who she was but still proceeded to ask for an introduction. Natalie and Kai Chee became fast friends and the rest was history. She gave Kai Chee an English name called Samantha because she loved giving names to her friends that had Chinese names, she spat cincau flakes all over Kai Chee because they were having a funny conversation, they went through secondary together and finally, went to Korea to pursue their education. Enrolled in different universities, they seldom met but the friendship has always been strong.I, was that Natalie.The only difference back now and then, is that I am no longer aware that Samantha is a singer (unless we go for karaoke). I also try hard to forget the fact that I was a fan (if not an avid one) but she never forgets to remind me by telling me how we met from top to toe. Two days ago, my friends and I went for a karaoke session and was browsing through the singers when we saw Four Golden Princess. We then decided to sing Sam's song but we didn't know the lyrics/rhythm to it so we just took a picture with her just to say our hellos.This, is Kai Chee.I have to admit she looks the ugliest of all members on prints and camera. Ugly is the right word although she appears entirely different (definitely better looking in real life. alot better looking)But if I would have to choose the best out of her group today, it would be her because er...she has outgrown her dark phase of life pfft.

Sam and I went on a dimsum craze one night after finding out that we are attracted by dimsum partly because of the mango pudding that comes after. After much discussion we decided that we really should go out and have dimsum for breakfast. We didn't forget about it but it just didn't happen for about a month or so (or was it few months pfft. 8 months ago still feels like weeks ago) and now finally we have made it. We have finally made it!
We have made it to dimsum............all thanks to Aaron pfft.
Well since he is leaving in about a weeks time we decided to take this opportunity to like gather pfft.
Gin who bothered to dress decently even if only just for breakfast with our very own Bruce Lee! Doesn't he look like Bruce Lee! D1S1 (inside joke) and mata sepit aku. After that we hung around Gin's place for awhile after Aaron picked his girlfriend and ate rotten mangosteens. Oh and we realised alot of snacks and other stuff in her house are all either expired or very near the expiry date.
Warning : Do Not Eat Anything In Ginny's House Because...
Later, I had to head down(or up pfft) to Kepong for some fitting session for the shoot tomorrow so Bruce Lee memandu aku there. Thanks banyak and sorry for the trouble! The whole time we were looking for the place it was on my left but I kept looking right pfft.
Siew Wan and Joey who was there to hang around with Moon. Moon Yee's car aircond decided to break down so we had roller coaster ride at 120kmph Has been REALLY long since we did one of these and we started to realise we didn't do anything like the classic peace sign or lips purk! Isn't this just like a perfect normal state of mind picture!\ Oh anyways, Moon was commenting about my hair (how thin it has become etc) then started to do something to my head (which I forgot) when Siew Wan exclaimed "DONT DO ANYTHING TO HER HAIR! HER HAIR IS THINNING LAREADY!!" After that she started doubting her words and was trying to prove to me it wasn't that bad so she stroke her hands through my hair and was welcomed with er...more hair. She eye wided and blurted in disbelief then proceeded to avoid touching my head anymore pfft. I was a litte shocked so I decided to stroke it myself and found this at the end of my stroking.

Not alot. But isn't this amount of hair you get when you're conditioning your hair after a long time? Well I got them when I just lightly stroked it PFFT Siew Wan's latter reaction after seeing that bug of hair was..
"WAH ON THE FLOOR ALSO SO MANY!!!"

Hello.
I'm having a SERIOUS hairfall problem. I used to have really thick long hair but now its thinned down to the extend that I can tie them with the cheap economical thin black bands. I have been tying them up for the past few months to prevent them from falling but it just won't do!
It's almost bed time and I let my hair go so that it could catch some "fresh air" but I can feel them falling every 10 seconds onto my shoulders and laps, I am not kidding. At this rate I'll be bald in no time.I was going to chop them off coming Monday because it did stop the hairfalling for awhile when it wasn't this serious back then but something came in schedule on Wednesday so I have to hold till then.
I'm pretty sure its not because of what I eat because I am quite a round eater, except for peas, nuts, cakes, capsicums. Maybe I'm lacking of sugar, since I don't take sweet things almost at all, Coke's an exception but hey, since Coke is the sweetest of all shouldn't it neutralise my body PH a little bit? Well, I don't take it everyday or every week but I do get a sip occasionally. At least once in two weeks. =/
My right thigh is flooded with hair. T_______T
I think I just lost at least 30 hair strands while typing this.

Hello.
You know I'm really bad at giving examples when in the midst of conversation because I always tend to run away from the topic and new ideas of examples keep coming in so everytime I'm giving you an example I'm most of the time struggling trying to mix all the ideas together and put them all in one PFFT.
then at the end of the day, only two things can happen
one, the opposite party stares blankly for a few seconds and finally realises that I'm done with my example so s(he) nods in agreement despite not being able to understand
two, the opposite party just goes "what are you talking about?!"
T__________________________________________T
So the other day I was talking to Ivy at Fran about certain characters of different people, and there was this point of the conversation when I was trying to give examples but it turned out to be a little out of the coast pfft. "So for example Veronica is Veronica. But of course Veronica is Veronica lah." Both of them stared at me for awhile and bursted in laughter. I was wondering why for a few seconds then only I realised where went wrong pfft. This means along my sentence all I'm thinking of is Veronica. So this is how bad I am at giving examples PFFT.

All I did was bend my back 45 degrees to screw off some letters from a humungous name plate that was 28 sizes of me (certain because we measured!) and only for perhaps 5 minutes.
I'm now stuck with a back muscle ache that has never been so bad before and its not hinting to leave any time soon!
I always get muscle aches most probably because I don't work out enough, or almost not at all. Well, that's why I need college. That is when I get to walk with a reason because if not I'd never get myself to move an inch.
Although in pain, choi choi choi first but I kind of like the feeling of having the backache! When you apply ointment and put pressure on it, the relaxing feeling is nothing but absolute kemarvelousness! Ini panggil ambil susah sendiri.
Tapi tidak apa. I am strong horse pfft.
My room is in a big mess, but I can't seem to make it stay clean for more than 48 hours everytime after dreadful housekeeping sessions! I cleaned it the night before yesterday right after I came back from dinner because I felt like doing it. Lifted the mattress off the and cleaned, wiped everything underneath, rearranged the boxes that has everything I don't need but cannot throw away.
Changed my bedsheets because they all ran up from position and I kept sleeping on the mattress with the bedsheets on top of me PFFT. Vacuumed and handpicked my hair thats literally everywhere - my bed, the floor, the cushion in the living room, the soap stand in the bathroom, the basin, the...you get my point. So its pretty freaky to live with me because you might suffer from suspicions of me being very sick to some fatal disease. choi choi choi.
Oh now I see the picture O.O
maybe it was from lifting the Queen size mattress - but it was alright before so I doubt the possiblities.
I am a lazy Natalie. I have a stack of clothes thats piled up as tall as my upper posture seated on the left corner of my bed but I have "no time" to put them back in the closet because it "takes alot of time" arranging them according to order.
Er
Tomorrow I take picture of the humungous board okay.
I know youre interested to see PFFT.
(edit : Eh, I have the muscle ache patch behind my back for like 2 hours already. Should I take it off or sleep with it pfft because the instruction never said anything about post-application.)\\
(edit edit : Oh, I just realised nobody's going to reply me in time before I go to bed. Goodnight, I'm going to sleep with it. Tomorrow fung sap pfft)

살다가 숨이 멈추는때가 있곤하다. 그럴때는 할수없이 쉬게해주고 머리속의 시계도 정지한다. 그래서 그런지 내가 현실에 흐르는 세월에 밀리고 뒤에 쫓아가곤했다. 아니, 하다. 아니, 할것이다. 내가 자기의 젤 큰 문제가 뚜렷하지만 해결은 잘 안되는게 혼란스럽다. 해결하나마 똑 같은데 뭐. 과거는 영구히 있을거고 지울수없는 추억들이다.
세월이참 빠르다. 세월이 참 빠르다.
닿지도 못했는데도 스쳐간 시간이 누구나 아끼진않고 냉정하게 떠나버린것이다.
시간이 금이라고해도 남의 감정을 가지고 흐르면 안되는거지.
나는 내 속이랑 인사도 못 했는데도 이렇게 흠쳐가나요?
가을이 곧 다가온다.
내가 이 계절이 아끼는 이유가 있었다. 곱게 떨어지는 나뭇잎들이 늙어서 그런거느냐 슬퍼서 죽거리를 선택한거느냐 늘 궁금했다. 떨어진후에 밟히고 짖여진다. 멀리서 지겨보기만해도 모아서 예뻐해주고싶다. 내눈에 나뭇잎들이 지치고 사랑해줄사람없기때문이다.
그럴때는 내가 뭔가 지겨줄수있다는 생각이드니까.
그러니까.
뒤돌아볼 이유가 없을만큼 나는 운명이랑 거슬지않게 나를위해서 일으킨 길이 쭉 갈것이다.
시간에 밀려도 끝까지, 한거름 한거름식 차지할것이다. 아무리 낯선해도 내 길이니까. 운명에 충분히 믿는 내가 길끝에 보답이 있을거란고 믿는다. 아니, 믿을것이다. 혼자서 가는길이라도.
내 사랑을 아직 못 만났지만 올 시간이 바람이와 내 앞에 나타나게 할것이다.
그때 쯤은 똑이 겠지?
아니.
그때는 바로 시작이지.
각마에서부터, 코, 벌, 입술, 턱, 목에 흐르는 한 방울.
그때는 시작이야.
그래서 그날이 하나도 기대하지않는다.
그네 타는 마음이 젤 편하다. 하늘로 보낼 느낌있으니까.
이런거 우울증이래. 나한테 그냥 스쳐가는 때지.
WOOHOO!
Classes resuming soon - more than delighted.
I love Post It Notes but those kind of notes are really not for me, so stop and save the environment pfft.

Hello!
I have no idea what this is.
I found it in the Pictures folder named kjldfnnhnhtmhrtkljtmpyt;l,l[pukt[o-0ktrp which basically means its some art piece of the brother. He never names documents appropriately. Does this mean he's growing artistically or does this mean I still have a playful brother pfft.
On another note,
Do you come across people who greet you on Messenger/Facebook without saying their hello's firsthand before anything. Old fashioned you may say but I'm very particular about greetings be it amongst close friends, acquaintances, or total strangers. There are a few exceptions though, but not more than 1-2 of them are exempted from saying hellos - most probably because we're incredibly close, second because I know i'll never get them to, or maybe because it'd sound odd if they actually did say hello *insert MSN angel emoticon
I get disturbed when people come to you and start their conversations directly without greeting you first without a feedforeword. Imagine someone walking up to you in real life out of nowhere while you're grocery shopping and goes
So do you think the black or the blue one is the detergent?
You see my picture?
Well there are some people who greets funnily like OI, WOI, HOI etc. You know what I mean?
I mean seriously, if you actually do bother to type three letters why not change them to Hey instead of the above?
And you know what the funniest thing is? The funniest thing is when I get too irrated I actually ask for a proper greeting and they all go "woah touchy. it's just a greeting man"
Just a greeting?
Just a greeting?
JUST a greeting?
Well, it JUST a greeting to you but its A greeting to me.
So what do I do when people don't say their hellos. I don't reply.
Although fully aware that it's rude to do so, and may even drop a slight hint of snobbishness but draw the clear picture. The person may not mean it the rude way, and perhaps most of the time I take it a little too seriously. It's not because I'm irritated that I choose not to reply but most of the time I make excuses for myself to not acknowledge the message because it doesn't say my name nor says hello, hi, hey, hello there or whatsoever appropriate greeting there is.
I mean, hey I'm not exactly old fashioned.
I still take "Yo"
For instance :)

Profile
Hello. 
I'm Natalie Chai, started blogging since I was thirteen because I found writing to be very expressive. I wasn't born very outspoken about my personal thoughts and mostly choose to keep mum about my perspective of things unless necessary.
And oh. I have very short-term memory and only tend to remember things thats at least 5 years old. Unsuspectingly long winded, I appear alot more outgoing than I really am but it really all depends on my compatibility with the surrounding parties. I believe that everybody has many sides to themselves and that we are not obliged to keep up to expectations of others, which is ironic because that's what I find myself helplessly doing.
Also conservative, I am very traditional about a whole lot of things. Very fond of new culture and customs of various countries. I love arts - music, plays, photography etc. I am negative 30% more athletic that I appear to be, which comes in contrast with my usual casual attire. Many have asked me about my make up (surprisingly), but truth to be told, my only tool is the eyeliner and mascara. I have zilch knowledge about concealers, foundations and whatnots. I'm a little odd, or many may refer to as random or weird and I choose to blame the opinions to being born in the middle of the evolvement of horoscopes Scorpio to Sagittarius. Currently pursuing my Diploma in Mass Communication at Taylors College after spending roughly about a years time in Seoul, Korea majoring in the Korean language. Many assume me to be a maniac of Korean dramas but I truly am a maniac of Korean food. Watching the dramas do entertain me at times but when it comes to entertainment, I only truly enjoy Korean music and Youtube serves to my fetish. I don't understand the reason to the weird eye when it comes to Korean entertainment because it's only a biased racist perspective of the country. I don't see them going 'Eww' when we're talking about French movies.
My life evolves around a very limited number of things - mostly the people around me.
