goodbye to you

Woke up today with extremely tragic news. EXTREMELY sad tragic news. One of the greatest pop icons of all times passed away today. And no other news in the world today can come close.

It's so tragic. It took awhile for me to grasp the fact that he's gone but he is gone. I never liked Michael but his music and his influence, now that I like. He was truly a force in the music industry and I personally think he has changed and enriched so many of our lives.

I know his music was always blaring in my house when I was growing up. All the countless albums and songs. My sister was a huge fan and so were alot of my cousins and friends. Could never escape him wherever you went. Especially for those of us growing up in the 80s and 90s. It was either BAD or BEAT IT or THRILLER or HEAL THE WORLD. And say what you want, but he had amazing kick ass videos that kept pushing the boundaries of music videos. Every video was a statement in itself and I know people always anticipated the coming of a new MJ video. Just typing this is making my eyes all teary thinking back about the good times I had.

I am very happy to say that I have attended one of his concerts when he was in Malaysia and it was an event to remember forever. I was spellbound and I knew that was the day I fell in love with the music industry and the powers it held.

Rest in peace Michael. You are indeed a legend and will always be cherished.

Another news that saddened me was the passing of my favourite angel, Farrah Fawcett..

Such a beauty, such a stunner, such a smile. She was the epitome of Charlie's Angels. Always liked her, not so much for her acting but more for her personality and her charms. And her hair of course!!

I think she was the first blonde I fell in love with. And as we are all aware, we always remember our first love ;)

Goodbye Farrah.. Rest in peace.

A very wise man I know had this to say about today's passings.. "God's gift of life is such, we r all so inter-connected. I thank God for the gift of entertainers who so enriched our lives..." So true MV. So true!

I finally got to do one of my lifelong dreams. It was not an easy thing to do but I did it. And I'm happy to say I lived to see another day. That's right boys and girls, I bungy jumped!!

B U N G Y J U M P ! ! ! ! !

How freaking amazing is that?

Did it in Phuket with my best girls. The moment Phuket was on our travel plans, I knew I had to try out their bungy jump and fulfill my lifelong dream and let me tell you it was not at an easy thing to do. When you're up on that platform about to leap off, nothing is going thru your mind. You can hear the attendant telling you to jump and just lean forward and let gravity do it's job. And i'm like, "GRAVITY DO IT'S JOB?!" Aaahhh... It took awhile before I managed to jump but jump I did. Did it with Nutzy. A tandem jump. It was insane. Seriously the most insane thing I've done in my life thus far. The feeling of standing up there looking down over the edge was the worst feeling on earth. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. The first few seconds after jumping off is total madness. There is no feeling except panic. Then euphoria takes over followed by insanity and of course the screams!

I'm so glad I did and will definitely do it again. One of life's best adrenaline rushes. The first thing we did when we there was sign the insurance forms and then get measured for our weight and height so that they can do the necessary precautions.

Then they proceeded to tie up our feet which had us hopping to the bungy booth. Once on the bungy booth, we were given a short briefing on what to do and not to do during the jump.

Of course there was time for some camera whoring ;)

And away we go up and up and up and away. If you look closely you can see us on the edge of the platform trying to build up the courage to jump.

This gorgeous pic was taken by my hunnybunny PYkins.

This was the moment of truth. To jump or not to jump. The attendant kept telling us that no matter what we do, we must not let go of each other as we fell or the result would be a serious head trauma. I kept telling Nutzy, "whatever happens, do not let go of me. I'll scream for the both of us"

It seriously took alot for us to finally jump.

And jump we did. There we go!!!

I screamed and kept asking God why do we do this to ourselves? The sheer rush of blood and life flashing before your eyes not to mention everything becoming a blur.

This amazing shot was snapped by the photogenius PYkins. Such an amazing shot. The reflection in the water.. Us hanging upside down..

And finally they come to save us. First extending a stick and me frantically grabbing it and then pulling us to safety.

And we were back on ground. Greatful and giddy with laughter and most of all happy.

There we are SkyDancer and Nutzy, bungy jumpers so glad to be back on solid ground

It was indeed a good great thing for me and I truly enjoyed it. I'm glad I had my BFFs there with me to share the moment. Thanks PYkins and Nutzy!!

heartbreak make me a dancer

I cannot stand desperation in stupid people. I cannot stand stupid people. Shallow I like. But stupidity.. is a whole different story. And it's worst when stupid people do stupid things that make you go WTF?

Seriously, if you cannot handle rejection, do not put yourself in a position where you will be rejected. Think ahead and brace yourself for the fall. Don't keep thinking that life is peachy and fun when you look like crap. If you look like crap, life is never gonna be peachy and fun for you cos you DO NOT deserve it. Make an effort and go dress yourself up and do something about that personality. Or better yet, why not put us all out of misery and go hang yourself.

And I don't think I'll ever understand people who demand an instant sms reply. Yes, I understand if it's stuff that's vital but not when it's random stuff.. Things like, "How's your day?" or "Let's plan to meet up next week", these don't require instant replies!! Which leads me to another thing I can't stand. People that reply smses 2 or 3 days later when the sms you first sent them no longer seems valid. Seriously people, isn't an sms' validity only for like 24hours? After that, it doesn't matter whether you reply it or not. So the key is here, smses should be replied in a period of 24hours or else don't bother replying. Cos I've found myself in situations when I receive an sms and I'm like, what is this guy talking about then I realize I asked him something 3 or 4 days ago. And it's not like they'll start the sms with, "to answer your question.." or "regarding my.." Oh no, instead they'll just go "Ok" or "Yup, I'm cool with that" or the worst, "definitely!" DEFINITELY WHAT DUMB ASS?!

And the worst thing I can't stand are people who think the world owes them. People who think that just because they're alive and have contributed used up space to the world that everyone and the universe has to give them something in return. Well wake up and smell the freaking acid rain losers, the world does not owe you anything. Everyone around you makes an effort to make things work for them. You are a fucked up moron if you think you can just sit around and wait for things to happen just because you smiled today. Bastards..
