The legendary Michael Jackson ( 1958 - 2009 )

In loving memory of my King Of Dance And PoP Michael Jackson ( 1958 - 2009 )




words of Michael :

"Think about the generations and to make it a better place for a children and a childrens , children . so that they know its a better world for them. Thinking they can make it a better place."

since i heard the news i could not stop but cry . Michael Jackson to me and many others was and still is known as the king of pop and to me the king of dance . Those white gloves , that shoes , and that moon walk ! boy !! i loved him . i never felt ashamed when it came to doing the dance of Michael Jackson in public even being a girl . ( i know another friend of mine mel who does it super well too and we proud of it ) the legendary king of pop was nothing but the meaning of talented .

Despite the things people said about him , only he knew the truth and people like us who knew he was innocent because there was no prove . it was so easy to pay a kid and tell him what to say . even if he did it , who are we to judge . Michael was only human if he made mistakes who were we to condemn , did not we make our own set of mistakes .. What about the things he did for the world like breaking the barrier of black and white on TV he shows that music did not have a colour but only unity . Before Obama , or Oprah . Michael spread the truth through music . what about the life he gave children the childhood he never had. he did good but people twisted it and made it theirs. At such a young age he was on stage

Usher once said . i don't believe in the media till they Prove his innocents. were are people like that on earth . But i have come to realise as said NMSNBC Michael once said he was treated unfairly in the music industry BUT today we see millions mourning his death. for instance me , the first sms of the day was from jasmine a good friend of mine telling me MJ has passed on . i could not believe it as i was looking forward to his London come back tour .

God truly loved his more that we did and took him from us for peace in Michael cause i think he has don't alot here on earth . Angels come in many forms and Michael was one of them . the world can say whatever they want but i know what Michael did for us . HE changed the perception of people . he thought us to accept people who are different .

A word from Sharpton on MSNBC " Michael Jackson made culture ACCEPT a person of colour way before tiger woods , Oprah and Obama . Michael did in music like they did in sports , politics and tv . and no controversy will erase the historic impact. He learn how to sing and dance . pass unfair criticism . he learn how to create even beyond his own shortcomings . he knew how to build his strength , how to help the world . WE are the world would not have happen without Michael Jackson ( talking on behalf of the black people ) from we are the world came live 8 and other organizations. he was a historic figure that people will measure the music and industry by . He sold more single products than any other artist and no one can drag him down for that . i remember he once said to me , can you believe they are showing on tV the cell they want to put me in . I said they did not crown you the king and they cant take the crown off your head"

Michale will always live forever because as legend he leave his legacy . A legacy we all can live by . for the young people out there . Just remember the reason you see people like Usher , Akon and many others on MTV is thanks to Michael Jackson . When you see live 8 and RED remember it was Michael Jackson who started it . Whenever you see people donating they toys , food and cloths to children who cant afford it remember it was Michael Jackson who started it . Whenever you see someone do the moon walk . Remember it was Michael Jackson who started it . The best of all when you hear someone scream ( the famous MJ scream hee hee ) Remember it was Michael Jackson . And to dances of all kinds out there remember The king of dance himself Michael Jackson .

Michael may you Rest in Peace and may the world now learn of the person you always were and the person you always will be :)

love you Michael Jackson for you will always remain in my heart and i for the love of music and dance will educate my children of your music and dance and goodness you have done for the world. may you live on in out hearts , and our soul .

Michael where ever you are please know that :

You thought me that music has no COLOUR . You thought me dance has no boundaries . You thought me that fashion made me , ME . You thought me to have a heart for children despite of condititions . You thought me to CRY for the pain you knew the world is going through. You thought me to LOVE a complete stranger and CRY the moment i find out you are no more here on earth . You thought me to feel the pain of a song.

Like A Rose

And as i look into your eyes
i see an angel in disguise
sent from God above
for me to love
to hold and idolise

And as i hold your body near
i'll see this month throught to a year
and then forever on
till life is gone
i'll keep your loving near

And now i've finally found my way
to lead me down this lonely road
All i have to do
is follow you
to lighten off my load

you treat me like a rose
you give me room to grow
you shone the light of love on me
you gave me air so i can breath
you open doors i close
in a world where anything goes
you give me strength so i stand tall
just like a rose

And when i feel like hope is gone
you give me strength to carry on
each time i look at you
theres something new
to keep out loving strong.

i hear you whisper in my ear
all of the words i long to hear
and how you'll always be
here next to me
to wipe away my tears


and now i've finally found my way
to lead me down this lonely road
all i have to do
is follow you
to lighten off my load

......
Like a RoSe

Day 1 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory .

We all know what the movie was about. Lets take a stroll down memory lane . The famous Willy Wonker chocolates :) oh how they craved for it. 5 Lucky kids were given the chance to visit Willy Wonkers famous factory. based on the movie as i can remember Willy Wonker sold his chocolates to every end of the world. Ever realised something ? the 5 lucky kids were of the roughly the same "type" of people . Lets not get into details but something to thought. LOL

As far as i am concern , geographically speaking , the end of the world reached Africa , Asia , south America , Europe , and even Antarctica . oh well i guess this children were really really lucky because on the other hand , Willy Wonker just randomly slipped the 5 golden tickets without knowing where it went . how does this apply to us ?

Well think for a minute, we always blame people for being racist and not accepting one another . On the other hand have we ever thought it was just the way it is. We never asked for it , we never thought about it but it was just " fed" to us of a known fact ? Just like Willy Wonker Sending his famous chocolates out to the world and the 5 lucky winners just happened to be these 5 lucky kids ..


all In All for the Golden Ticket :)



a Scene of Willy Wonker showing his guest around the factory.

the first Lucky kid was mike . How similar is Mike as a kid to kids today in the real world. He's on his play station 24/7 , he hardly went out of the house. He used bad language, language he learn from the Tv games and never socialised . On the other hand, he was a very smart boy who knew about telekinesis and what it could do to make the world a better place :) now how is that similar to kids these days ? think about it. Yes Kids do not go out anymore, neither do they climb trees and ride bicycles like us anymore. But have they become smarter , more outspoken, more inquisitive then the kids before ? Think about it ...

Then we have Charlie the " sweetheart" of man kind, i would say . In the movie Charlie belonged to a family who barely met ends meat. They had Cabbage soup everyday for their meals, his dad got retrangged from work because of technology. When Charlie won the ticket, people around him were prepared to pay 500 for it. Charlie thought of giving it up for a moment to give his family a better life. He thought " we needed the money more than chocolates" Charlie only got one chocolate every year and that was on his birthday and when he got he decided to share with with everyone .A kid with a heart of Gold :) At the end he was the one that was not roughten to carry on the legend of Willy Wonkers's chocolate factory. Now we all know that. How similar is Charlie to a kid today. We have all heard of how some children have to quit school to help their family put bread and butter on the table daily. We have heard of how some kids are lucky enough to even have a decent meal without having to dig through any garbage bin . think about it ..........................................



On the other hand we have .. the rich girl who wants ponies for her birthdays . Just like the movie. Her dad Bought All the chocolate he could get his hands on just to give his daughter the golden ticket. She would wine and haul to the moon if she did not get what she wanted. Look, sometimes it takes hard work for someone to get what they want. Some just snap their fingers or in this case stomp their feet and they have what they want all laid down right in front of them. Life is unfair ? life is not just ? Well similar to the world we live in now is it ? The rich get richer , the poor get poorer. But in the end .. no amount of money can buy happiness now can it ??

back to the movie .... Oh how my imagination ran wild when watching the movie. i wonder are all chocolate factories like that ? LOL i think i would love to see the chocolate fountain for real haha


ah yes ... the fat kid . who ATE all the chocolate he could till he got the golden ticket. He just loved chocolates and food for that matter. He ate his way to the golden ticket. Greedy as a pig LOL. how is that similar to us ?? Does the word obesity hit your skull ? Willy Wonker had a factory full of chocolate and candy. it was everywhere and anywhere even to the very land you step on. someone went berserk till he got " sucked" up the chocolate fountain vacum LOL. Greediness lends you no where for the matter ...


and presenting Willy Wonker himself. As a boy Willy Wonker was the son of a famous dentist. Every year at Halloween he was allowed to go out trick or treat but come back getting his candies all burn up because they were "cavities on a stick" how his father had deprived his of his childhood . When he finally got the taste of chocolate one day he loved it so much he ran away from his father Indeed he because successful and all rounded . He had what he wanted But lost what everyone ever treasured .... family ... Now you dont need me to tell you how familiar is that to the real world no do we ? .......... give it a thought for a moment ...


Last but not least violet. The girl who always win. the girl who never quits and the girl who had her mother on her backside telling her . you need this , you need to win , you need to be number one, do whatever it takes . outbid them . A scene in the movie showed how violet immediately hugger Willy Wonker with her mum smiling in the back and telling him " oh she is always a winner" But at the end we all know what happen to violet .. she became .. violet. She possessed a new talent of being flexible but her mother only had one thing to say and one thing in mind " look mum i am flexible ... , yeah but you're blue " " you did not win " Some of feel that no matter how much good we have in us could never live up to the best in our mums eye. I for one am lucky that my parents never once denied what i wanted or what i am good at. but still only to a certain point , after that they is still disagreements and yelling over trying to keep an understanding between us........ ring a bell ??

See what i mean by somehow movies does play a role in representing what we live in today. Yes we may not have all the bad traits of what i mention but i am sure you can say YES to at least one of them .. can you ??

movie review

We all saw that movie now didn't we ? Some of us even got the book for our birthdays . I remember reading the book before the movie came out. Oh how i imagined the chocolate fountain and the trees made of candy , the grass of mint sweets :) Since i am on my holiday i have decided to watch a movie a day and blog about it. No i am not going to blog about The movie itself BUT more of what the movie reflects and how does it reflect US in the real world. Movies aren't made for fun. To a certain extend a movie has its trades and a movie has its messages . Lets take one day at a time and one movie at a time to see what movies today REALLY tell us and what do they REALLY mean.

VIVA LA SALSA

J.U.S.T D.A.N.C.E

GoOd LuCk GuYs !

Yasmin Ahmad's new movie Talentime. After watching yesterday i only have one thing to say WOW ok maybe not one thing, but i just dont know where to start. Firstly the movie was so honest. WHY ? watching the movie ,ade me real is THIS IS MALAYSIA these are MALAYSIANS . We may be chinese , indian and malays BUT this is what we go through . At the end of the day WE want the same things in life. We want happiness , we want love , we want joy, we want fun, we want friends , we want friends , and we want relationships.

YES we all look different BUT Yasmin portrayed how different we really are. secondly the generalizations and stereotypes we have about each race and how we fight to get on top not realizing that hey if we do it this way , ONE WAY , TOGETHER it just might work. Yasmin used high school kids in this show and you know why ? NO not because it is just a show about TALENTIME in a particular high school and about bringing out talents of the youth BUT its because THEY are the future generation that will shape our country for a better tomorrow.

Thirdly, i guess what yasmin was trying to say was also YES indeed we all have talents and dreams and hopes and passions but behind it all we still have problems , families and , life still takes place and goes on.Forth, Yasmin brought out certain culture practices that i have in my life seen and now i know OH this is the indian culture OH this is the chinese culture and OH this is the malay culture.

Even though i am mix i still never got the chance to see all of there. For example at when mahesh's uncles cremation took place The practice and culture of it if i am not mistaken is only the men are allowed to go and cremate while the ladies stay at home after the home funereal takes place .
NOW i actually got to see WHAT ACTUALLY happens in the cremation area and what are the practices and traditions done there.

ITS good to know ones culture and learn from it. as they said knowledge is power. NEXT , yasmin had the bravery and bring out certain generalizations and stereotypes that we tend to make on other races. BUT at the end of the day what Yasmin tried to say in the movie was... i think it is not US who make alll this generalizations about people but is other people that force us to make stereotypes about other people . i know i am making this sound very vague but pardon me for saying freedom of speech and writing is not something i believe in , in malaysia today . i am too young to end up anywhere , anytime ..

Talentime is a movie that when we watch , we can relate to .. YES it may be a form of entertainment to one level but to another , it may be realizations that we need to know and take notice off. Yasmin cannot do this on her own by making movies after movies we need to help one another . HELP make Malaysia a better place to live in..Todays generation of young people . you and me , we are all educated , we are all kowledgable . use what god gave us, help he help us make things better .

Yasmin also used new talents for talentime and i dare say some of them , are something for us to shout about . We have our very own holywood stars RIGHT under our noses. COME on tell you can actually act ass well as mahesh , pamela , syafie, jaclyn , and howard . We have every own peter jackson SHE IS YASMIN AHMAD HERSELF. we should start realising these people around us that we have today because they are the ones that will make Malaysia a better place to live in by education us , persuading us and teaching us THROUGH their god given TALENTS .

I know i am as guilty as hell when it comes to local talents . WE OVERLOOK THEM and take them for granted. GOSH we gota wake up Cause if we dont we are going to loose them to people who appreciates them ... ( mind you they are not malaysians the ones who appreciate them ) all the nominees that talentime got .... barely one was given to her on behalf of malaysia... whats happening to us . if we can notice and appreciate a bolywood actor which i think was a good thing i thing we should do the same for people like Yasmin .

what i say does not really matter la ... BUT please as a malaysian GO WATCH IT !!!
LAUGH with Harith Iskandar , Cry with Mahesh and jaclyn :)

ENJOY THE MOVIE
