I found a photo of my school mate with the late Michael Jackson himself in person. This happened on 1st Jan 97. A day after his new year eve concert in Jerudong, he visited Nur Rita and her new baby. According to her, he was really nice person n humble.

On an IT note, if you receive an email entitled Remembering Michael Jackson, best not to open it as it is a spam and contain virus!

Just got an invitation on my SMS. Beracun is celebrating his birthday. I wonder what he has in store for his celebrations. In case some of you do not who I am referring to, check out the video on SimpurTV. LOL!

The comedic duo were performing at my cousin's wedding recently and their dialogue stuck in our heads now.. I LIKE TOH! haha

An interesting social experiment initiated by Ben Stone took place at the Mall today at exactly 3.20 pm. For 5 minutes, some 150 participants joined in a flash mob to be frozen like a mannequin on the Ground, 1st and 2nd Floors. Amazing....as The Mall was busy with people with the B Mobile promotion.

Hyperclicks caught some of the participants on the 1st Floor! Thanks for the photos bro!

Frozen!!!

I like this one.. The guy was folding his sinjang!

Congrats to Ben Stone and the team for the success of today's event. It would be interesting to see future events bearing messages on environmetal preservation, prevention against the H1N1 flu or AIDS awareness campaign. Awesome!

Expansys, one of the IT incubatees at the iCentre launched a Facebook application at the Mall on Saturday. This application is intended for Facebook users to sell their uploaded photos to those that requested them. I thought this is a great idea. Although most of us like to tag our photos of families and friends but when we wanted to print them, it was too small byte for it to produce a clear photo. So by downloading the application and joining YouGotSnapped, you can sell the photos for a small fee and still earn some revenue for it. You can download the application here.

If you were at the Mall this weekend, you could have seen their booth and a photo session that the team made. It was fun really...For 40 seconds you got to choose your props and costume and got a snapshot. There are prizes for the Best Picture – determined by most number of ‘likes’ on the YouGotSnapped Fan Page on Facebook!

1st $500.00 cash
2nd $200.00 cash
3rd $100.00 cash


According to Andy,

The SnapShot Competition's photos will be upload on Monday or Tuesday, so please check our Fan Page for update and remember to "Tag" yourself. Thanks

So, I'm counting on your votes for my snapshot! LOL!

News of the extended holidays for school children seem to bring joy to the kids but I salute the seriousness of the relevant authorities in breaking down the chain of local transmission for the swine flu virus. So, the kids will have another week of home stay.

On a lighter note, the kids may have to put up with one another for the next week. I don't think they have a problem with that as I can see their humourous interactions at times. For example, the following story......

Jellybeans = Medication??

Funboy: Bang, apa kan tu, Jellybeans kah? Irfan mau sikit.
Fez: Bukan, ani ubat abang ni. Untuk skin abang. Irfan tahu kan, skin abang macam messed up?
Funboy: Ia andangnya colourful kah?
Fez: Yeah. Andangnya ia macam atu.
Funboy: Ahhh, okay.
*After eating alot*
Funboy: Banyak jua abang makan ubat abang atu.
Fez: Andang mesti makan banyak. Supaya cepat sihat.
Funboy: Ahhh, okay.


*A few days later*
Marshmallow Boy: Bang, minta satu jellybean.
Fez: Bah, agatah, satu saja.
*Funboy enters the room*
Funboy: Nya abang ubat abang jua tu. Abang tipu kah?

hahaaaaa.... Funboy is just ever so cute and smart too ;) Taken from Fez's Tumblr

The news of the death of Michael Jackson came to a shock to everyone. I woke up with reading news on Twitter and confirming it on CNN on his demise. It took a while for the news to sink in my head, wishing it is a hoax. Upon hearing the press conference made by his brother Jermaine Jackson then it began to ponder upon me that the King of POP is really gone! Gone too soon, I’m afraid! It was interesting to note Jermaine's final words, "May Allah be with you, Michael, always." There was a debate if Michael is really a Muslim. There is a report that he did convert secretly.

Who can ever forget the person who make ‘Moonwalk’ dance moves fashionable? No one can forget how Michael made HISTORY with having many number one hits albums. His music, performances and concerts were a real THRILLER that one would keeping saying to him, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough and keep going Rock with you, Michael!

Some may say..... Beat it when listening to his songs cos he may sound Bad or Dangerous or the fact that he is a Smooth Criminal or a Speed Demon. Remember the Time when he dangled his baby from the hotel room in Germany? Controversies aside, everyone wants to Remember the times when his music touches all our hearts, how his music influences anti-rascism messages through Black or White and the strong message in They don’t care about us. No doubt his music also carry important messages of caring our own Earth when he sang Heal The World.

But I will not forget the infatuation that Michael has with the ladies such as Billie Jean, Dirty Diana and the Liberian Girl! He shared through his music how much the Girl is mine, he said!, his admiration for P.Y.T ( Pretty Young Thing). We can see how happy Michael is being with her as he described his feelings on The Way you make me feel and I just can’t stop loving you.

But what I am really happy to hear from local Radio stations and MTV that everyone is playing or requesting for his songs/videos. It sounds like everyone is wanna be startin something!

Gone but will never be forgotten! That is what I feel! Lastly Michael, You are not alone. There are fans out there who would Come Together, truly adore your music and performances and believed that you are the King of POP, no matter that you are no longer with us. Your music will still be alive in us. We pray that your soul will rest in peace, Michael.

It will be interesting to see his real life story in a movie or written in a book. That way we can understand what really happened in his life!.

I'm going to leave you with one of his performances at the Jerudong Amphitheater. My kids were not around at that time to appreciate it and neither was I in the country.

* red denotes his hits songs!
