We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
-Mitch Albom
caught this is it last wkend. was expecting to see the theater filled up but it wasnt too crowded.
i am not a fan of mj to start with and recent reports leading up to his death were nt favorable with nicknames like wackojacko. so i didnt think much of the movie much less want to watch the movie.
having being introduced to mj at pri 1, i've always liked his earlier collection of songs. i remember my music teacher miss siti made us sing heal the world. and i went hm and gt my daddy to buy the cd titled 'dangerous' which cost $40 at that time and we also gt his concert LD.
so by chance i watched 'This is it' as my sisters keeper was for a later timing which didnt fit my schedule. but what i saw in the movie totally blows me away. it changed my conception of mj and that he is indeed human like one of us. in fact the movie showed how much he have matured and grew music wise and human wise.
he was the most hands on musician i've seen and he knew his music realli well to the beat and each tune etc to the point that he knew where to pause to have the WOW factor for the audience.
in the movie he was also seen to having coach fellow musicians such as the guitarist by letting her have time to shine. not to mention the fact that a 50 yr old man like him having the stamina to dance as agile as his dancers half his age!
movies openings aside, this is the only movie where the audience actually clapped when the credits start to roll. now i hope i gt the this is it tshirt! =)
the past wkend has bn a mad rush. first met krissy and liang liang at ulu ulu vanilla pod all the way at mandai orchid garden. we gt lost a few times and ended up keep making u-turns and it didnt help tt it was raining cats n dogs. the sky cleared up a little when we reached. so heres the restaurant and the maincourses we ordered. the pizza and the pasta is yummy. the pork knuckle is somewhat like our chinese shao rou but its supposed to be their speciality and we had to pre-order it when we make out reservations.
after dinner, it was chillax with nic n p over soccer and we went to the fright night at acm. its pretty cool. it's my first time there and we managed to cover each exhibition hall. pity that there was no more free barcardi when we reached =\ then we headed for supper at 2 at esplanade and tried the satay nic strongly recommended. the sambal chilli is super power! it tasted harmless initially but the sensation comes as an aftertaste and it bugs u totally! nic and i had 2 serving of drinks to quell the spiciness!
i realli love dogs. and i was randomly surfing and saw these pix from a dog show held in the us!

my blog is so dusty from disuse! everyday i go hm. i juz wanna eat my tomyam mamee, watch lame shows on chU and read then slp and the process repeats itself. so alot happened in Oct!
At the start of the mth, i bot my cam!! Whee!!
so people always say that they do alot of research before settling on the desired camera and i have the luxury of saying that alot of ppl did research and i bot the cam based on their research! the cam is so cool, almost vintagey looking and i gt the most funky camera case to match! i'm so excited abt it.
that very same wkend, p and i watched cloudy with a chance of meatbals i was intrigued by the movie title and poster and it proves to be a great choice. in my opinion its better than up!
i think i juz love food! bah!
then it's the hk trip! The trip was super fun but tiring cos we wake up early and retire late everyday. we managed to cover most of the places we wanted to go cep a few outdoorsy stuff which will prob be left for the nxt trip. the rest of the photos are on fb cos its juz difficult to summarize 9day in 1 entry =)
after the trip the first food i had was claypot rice at clementi with the gang. i love the claypot rice there so much! i also caught julie & julia which was a sweet heartwarming movie! made me so wanna buy the cookbk and starting cooking recipe by recipe too!!
