Im still exceedingly sad. I still can't believe it. I do feel lost. I've never felt like this, so deeply, before. But he IS the King of Pop. No doubt about that.

Good to know there are others affected and feeling the same, from whatever country. Doubt that it truly makes anyone feel better about it all though.

I won't say that Im a fan. I mean, there are so many others out there who have been supporting him throughout his life. Im just like a lot of the people, and feel guilty and bad that I didn't pay him all respects and attention while he was alive. I did like him. But took for granted that he'd always be there.

I've been listening to his CD Michael Jackson Number Ones that my brother got in 2003 in Singapore. The same time I bought Linkin Park's Meteora. Glad he got it. So glad.

Probably the Michael song that is most deeply embedded in my memory is Black or White, I remember that as a kid we had the Thriller LD and we played it on our LCD player. I can remember the MTV and song quite precisely. I also remember getting frightened by the zombies in the Thriller MTV.

Lastly, I think the media should stop producing nonsense speculations about his life. He has suffered a great deal under their hands. That's probably something that keeps making me sad.

However, I still jump at any news on TV, the internet...Something an old lady said that was caught on camera catches my attention. It was something like this:
"They say all these bad things about him (MJ). They said all these things about Jesus and yet he was perfect."

That he passed without being truly happy. I hope rehearsing for the London concerts did give him more happiness.

Michael Jackson, you are forever in our hearts. Rest in Peace.

I saw Rebekah today.
Got out of the house with dad today. He went to sort out some things, then I picked up lunch at Garden City food court. As I approached the KFC line I saw Rebekah. It took a while for her to register my face (as expected, my hair has changed a lot, and i got contacts just the other day). First thing she said was, "I haven't seen you in a loooooooong time!"
True. I hadn't seen her around since I transferred to QA at the end of Grade 10.
We chatted a little in the line, and found out that we're at the same university, just different campuses, and she'd got a day off from a busy week at work (toy sale, haha). Managed to grab each other's contact numbers before I had to grab McDonalds and rush off to work (QA), was really late today actually. It was 3pm when I finally got back to the car, and I reached school at about 3.30pm.

It made my day to bump into her. After all, she's the first friend I made on my first day of high school (Grade 9) in Australia. She'd come up to me while I was standing alone (quite petrified actually, and culture-shocked), and took me around to classes for the rest of the day...had lunch together, was introduced to her friends...
We were really good friends for quite a while (: Brings back the good times. Maybe we'll meet up during the holidays.

I didn't really keep in touch with my friends from Mansfield after I transferred. Don't know why, just not that strong a connection. I did meet up with some of them last year though, when a little barbeque changed venues to my verandah due to the bad weather. And even before that I remember going ice-skating with a couple of others. I guess I move on and adapt to new environments pretty quickly. It'll be good to organize something and relive those friendships this holidays though (:

Going to watch Transformers 2 tomorrow (: High school friends.

I miss my Singaporean friends you know (: That was my comfort zone.

Right after Psychology exam:
Yulian: Jess, when're you 18?
Me: December
Yulian: *big big groan*
Me: why?
Yulian: I thought we could go clubbing during the holidays!

oh and
Dad swears when I get old all the fat from the junk food I eat will come back and make me a really, really fat old woman. He says its in my genes (my paternal grandmother is very overweight).

Have started planning where to go and who to meet for the holidays!

Really need motivation to study for Psychology exam on Monday. Both exams are full of memorizing and its getting harder and harder to do that! Especially since Im surfing the net, read a novel faster than I learnt any content (The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones), and thinking and planning out my holidays at the same time. Whoops!

Just a couple more days and it'll be all over. End of semester. 5 weeks of holidays! (that's counting next week) Doesn't seem like I'm going overseas during the holidays...but both parents have raised the question. Not sure, not sure. I'd jump at any chance to fly away if there are bargain tickets, but if it still costs $1000+, chances are not likely?

Been putting off submitting my subject credit application form forever, just the thought of doing it makes me lazy.

Back to work yea?
I need to meet A, B and C during the holidays......I've got my outfits planned out from bag to shoes.......well, sort of!

Im also thinking of working my blog in one direction...e.g. music, fashion....
think about it later!
