Inspirations

 

I get inspired by these beautiful people. Most of the outfits above are very appropriate for Malaysian scorching hot weather. I wish it would rain more.

Fierce

 

I’m hyperventilating, because those shoes are to die for! They scream for attention, and boy, did they do an excellent job getting mine. Those hot mamas exude a mysterious edge. I wish I could elaborate more on how I feel towards them, but I just can’t seem to put my finger on it. Incredibly sexy and they bring out the rebel in you. That is the best I can do, for now. I need to unclutter my thoughts.

I want those shoes…

In Memory Of Michael Jackson

Watching
Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service
live on CNN.

Update :// The memorial service was truly one that was heartfelt and emotional. An outpouring of emotion, I believe, was felt during the service (even I couldn't hold back my tears), as Michael's closest friends and family members took the stage to perform and deliver their eulogies.

My favourite part was when Lionel Richie sang "Jesus Is Love" and Jermaine Jackson (MJ's brother) sang Michael's favourite song, "Smile", from the Charlie Chaplin movie "Modern Times".

Sheila Jackson Lee reminded the people that even though Michael Jackson had to deal with many allegations of child abuse and what not, but, "we understand the Constitution, and we understand laws, and we know that people are innocent until proven otherwise. That is what the Constitution stands for". The sad thing is, the media loves to focus on all the allegations and always fail to remember that MJ was acquitted of all charges.

Paris, MJ's daughter sealed the deal when she gave a short but heart-breaking statement. While choking back tears, Paris told the world that, "ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just want to say I love him so much".

The service ended with a final meaningful prayer said by Pastor Lucius Smith.

After so many years of scrutinizing and judging Michael Jackson, and now that he has passed on, it really is time the media stop spreading propaganda and rumors about him, lay their hands off his family, and allow them to grieve privately.

So sad.

Wedding Bells

Yesterday, my cousin Philip got married.
It was such a joyous occasion!

Daddy’s girls (yes, mum included).

Red nails and red lips! I took the opportunity
to wear my mum’s vintage white dress. Such
a lovely piece of garment. And oh, this dress
reminds me of Mel because she owns
something similar, but in black.

One of the scrumptious dishes.

With our cousin, William.

A Little Too Late

Went out with the best friend and we spent the entire night talking about Michael Jackson. Like I said before, I was never a big fan, until now. After his death and being constantly bombarded in the face with Michael Jackson news, I find myself downloading and listening to all his songs, watching all his music videos and reading news and updates on him.

I actually really really LIKE his music, especially a few of his big-time famous hits, namely, Billy Jean and Beat It and the not so popular ones like Man In The Mirror, Scream (he collaborated with his sister, Janet Jackson) and Earth Song.

It is so sad that only after his death, I’m beginning to appreciate his music. And oh boy, he was such an AMAZING dancer. He perfected the moonwalk (I attempted the moonwalk and failed, haha) and definitely took dance to a complete different level. Gosh, he is just so mighty brilliant when it comes to performing!

I can’t stop listening to his songs and watching his music videos! Above is a video of MJ executing the moonwalk and below is a video of him performing with full confidence at the tender age of ten! (I stole it from Dina’s blog)

I think many people have misunderstood Michael Jackson (thanks to the media). In my opinion, he was a grown man who was a child at heart, having been deprived of a childhood. He was confused and was constantly searching for greater meaning and purpose in life, but I guess he never found it. So sad and tragic. I love MJ. :(

Feast Your Eyes

   Oh, durians!

I can’t wait for homes tomorrow! So exciting! :)

Tragic

When Pastor Sivin Kit shared his message during the wedding, he said he read a message on twitter posted up by someone, and it read ;

“We not only mourn the death of Michael Jackson,
but we also mourn the culture that destroyed him.”

I was never a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I can’t help but feel sad as I watch the documentaries and news of him being showed on television. The constant pressure he was put under as a result from the all the media and public scrutiny, I believe, contributed to his fall from grace, and even his death.

Michael Jackson once had all the fame and fortune others can only dream of having, but none of those could buy him true happiness, peace and joy. It is so sad to know that a man who had so much to offer (he had immense talent) lived such a troubled, tragic and lonely life. Sigh.

Sizzling Hot

 

 

 

I went for a manicure and
pedicure session in the evening.
Hot red is the color I chose :)

Faith

Church was awesome yesterday. Pastor Kenneth preached a very powerful message regarding our faith. He said, “the greatest challenge in life are challenges that will try to take away your faith”.

And that is so very true. We need to run the race of life, and persevere through trials and hardships and keep the faith. As Paul have said ;

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7
