Jacko is dead... DEAD! Can you believe it? I can't. I grew up with him! All through his persecutions, I always held steadfast in his innocence. I really do. And I feel really sad for him. For the way he had to live and the things society put him through just because he is so famous.
If you take a moment to think about it, if a normal person with his condition, society feels sympathizes with him (mental condition, abusive childhood, etc) but becuase its him, everyone just wants to have a piece of his flesh. Is this what society has come down to?
In my opinion, probably it's better for him to pass on than to continue his life as a moving target for today's envious society. I don't believe he molested those kids. I perceive him as a very scared and lonely person who missed out on all his childhood due to his fame since he was a kid. Can you imagine living under the spotlight since you are 5 years old? With no chance for a normal life, going to school, have a best friend, have your first kiss? Everything you do is always under the scrutiny of the media, can you imagine that?
It seems to me that he has a very innocent mind, if you watch all his interviews. All he wanted was just for people to be happy and for peace amongst nations. Perhaps you can say, he is a true Utopian. If you take some time to go through most of his lyrics, you will find that is true. And he just wants to be friends and hoping that others want to be friends with him too. Why can't society take the fact that, it's not weird to feel joy upon a smile on someone else's face?
Perhaps that's what's wrong with today's society, perhaps that's why there's so many wars raging around the world, perhaps that's why there are people who live excessively while others are dying of starvation....
Just reflect on the words from one of his songs below, mayhap there's a lesson for us to learn from the world's most misunderstood personality....
Man In The Mirror
Michael Jackson
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
Mayhap we should look within ourselves before we start pointing fingers at others, you think?

Wedding Pics
Here are some wedding pics to share... to see more, just go to my profile on FB! =)
ps: trust me, it wasn't easy to keep the sarong in place... I had to use safety pins and periodically pull it, coz it's a traditional sarong that hasn't been tailored to suit. Lucky there wasn't any embarassing moments... *grin*

Things That Has Been Happening Since You Last Heard From Moi
Updates Updates....
What have I been doing since the last time you all heard from me? Hmm.. let's see, HEAPS! The past couple of months has been the most hectic time for me since I don't even know when! What, you might ask, have I been doing?!??!?! Quite a few things, actually.
1. Last minute wedding plan changes
2. Planning for the changes
3. Got my professional registration
4. Going through the MOST unorganised subject I have ever tutored in Uni of Melb
While I was busy organising the wedding, I was also busy attending classes for my professional registration exam. :S Yup, it's definitely hectic, to say the least! Imagine, I have my Part 2 exam on April 9, wedding on April 26 and Part 3 exam May 6.... :S and in between those things, my students had their thesis handed in as well. So between all those, I had to grade 40 x 2500-word thesis in a week!!!! All these on top of my full time work. Now I guess you can see why I have been absent since... :S
But the outcomes are all good. The wedding went really smoothly and memorable and I passed my exams! On my first try! :D Yay! No more awkward moments when people ask the most hated question for all pre-registration architects: So what do you do? URGH! Usually the typical answers would be:
a) I am SORT of an architect
b) I am not an architect YET but I do all the things an architect does
c) I am an architect, BUT I can't legally call myself that
After one of those answers, they will persist and ask: I thought you graduated with an architecture degree? *sigh* The typical public just don't really understand the rough path we architects have to go through. It's basically very much like a doctor where you have to do your internship. We have to do go through 2 degrees which takes up a whole 5-6 years. After that, you graduate and work, but not as an architect. They degrade you by giving you an extra 'GRADUATE' in front of the word ARCHITECT. :S
But all that is in the past... Now, when someone ask me that question, I can proudly say: I AM AN ARCHITECT!!!!! :D So what does that mean to me? It just means I am now in higher risk! hahhahahha....
