I repeat.
Never.
Not even if the engine is off.
NEVER!!!
Heal the world, make in a better place.
I woke up this morning and read the news online. Found out about it waaaaay after everyone else.
You are not alone...
Goosebumps, especially during the acapella part. Gotta love the crowd too. ='(
After a few hours, I still can't properly digest the fact that the King of Pop is no longer around.
No matter how much some may despise the guy for the countless scandals and negativity surrounding him in recent years, nobody can deny the fact that he is probably the best entertainer of all-time. To be able to make such a HUGE difference in the world almost his entire life is not something another human being can achieve easily.
In every single talent show or competition, small or big scales, there will always be at least ONE person imitating Michael Jackson. For all you know, probably half of the world's dancers could have started dancing because of him. He inspired some of the world's greatest artists. Without him, POP may not have come around. Moonwalk might have been just another term used by astronauts.
Sometimes, it's sad when people forget what he brought to the world. You know it is bad when MJ is the first thing that comes to their minds when they hear the word 'plastic surgery'. o.O
If I remember correctly, I think he was the first singer that I knew. I bet this is the same case for many from this generation. Beat It, Billie Jean, Thriller, Black or White, and my favourite 'You Are Not Alone'. Sigh... if only I can find that old album my dad bought a looooong time ago! >.<
Like what Nabs told me, it feels really weird to say that Michael Jackson is dead. The world is probably in a greater state of shock than when Elvis Presley died. I heard that many websites crashed when the news broke out this morning. Record shops everywhere are selling out every last CD and concert album there is left.
*rushes to the nearest record shop*
If he had a concert here in Malaysia, I wonder how many people would turn up. Would you?
Now that I think about it, American Idol had a Michael Jackson theme this year. Hmmm...
Anyway, RIP MJ. You'll always and forever be the King of Pop. Condolences to the Jackson family and his kids as well.
You are not alone...
Goosebumps, especially during the acapella part. Gotta love the crowd too. ='(
Marathon.
I've basically been rotting at home for the past few days. Am still looking for an open intern position in magazines or broadcast stations. No luck so far. Media Prima STILL wants an official internship period, and this break is again, JUST A BREAK. Sigh. Looks like my only chance to work there would be after my degree!
So, for the past few days, I've been catching up on my favourite series, Smallville.
I have finally completed Season 8! It still amazes me how DVD sellers produce such high quality DVDs just months after the series officially aired its season finale. And my uncle never fails to get hold of every season's DVDs. LOL!
I'm not exactly a Superman fan, but the series is totally different. I loved its early seasons when Clark Kent was still a teenager, facing little villains in high school, helping his human parents run the family barn and slowly discovering his super powers.
After eight seasons, you would think that the story gets lamer and repetitive, but it gets more exciting! One part that got to me was when one of the characters referred to Clark Kent as the 'alien Jesus'. Apparently the creators of Superman did link the character to Jesus on purpose. Like how Clark Kent was born and raised among humans, how he was sent to earth to save mankind, how he always brings out the good in people, and so on. And apparently, Superman's death, burial, resurrection and second coming also show similarities. I can't wait for the coming seasons! We shall see if there really are similarities.

Just a little Superman trivia I just read, did you know that Superman and his father's real name are Kal-el and Jor-el? Most of you probably did. But did you know that 'el' actually means 'God' in Hebrew? The Kent's original names in TV shows and movies were actually Mary and Joseph. Cool!
Stephen Skelton wrote a book called 'The Gospel According to the World's Greatest Superhero'. It talks about similarities found between Jesus and Superman. Hmmm... I wonder where I can find this book. The book kinda tells us how about evangelism through entertainment. The author seems to be an expert in this field, revealing the Truth through secular entertainment and popular culture.
However, despite the similarities, people should always and only remember Superman as a popular icon created for entertainment, not a symbolic figure that portrays Jesus. People who may not know any better could get confused. We definitely don't want that to happen.
Now, if you follow Smallville and don't want Season 8 spoilers, DON'T READ the following!
The second half of Smallville has the most nerve-wrecking episodes in the series. I was practically biting my nails in every episode!
Lana Lang comes back after she went missing for seven months. She never planned to leave in the first place. The 'dead' Lex Luthor forced her to do it. She puts on an invisible suit embedded under her skin (Mirotic~) that gives her super powers. Now, she can finally walk alongside Clark. It's weird seeing her away from her usual vulnerable self.
The suit was originally created to bring back Lex Luthor from the 'dead'. That didn't happen. So he obviously got angry. He hires people to create a bomb that would destroy the whole city using Kryptonite. Lana, with her new powers, can somehow absorb it. The intelligent Luthor just had to break up the city's new power couple. Now, the only way to save the city is for Lana to absorb all the Kryptonite. But after doing that, she will have so much of it in her that Clark will never be able to go near her again. For the greater good, they both agreed to do it.
They both save the city. Oliver Queen saves everyone from Lex Luthor by killing him once and for all. This upsets Clark, because he doesn't believe in killing. As for Lana, knowing that she can never be together with Clark ever again, she leaves. Again. Noooo... Clark loses Lana once and for all. AGAIN. Nooooo... Now, Lois Lane finally comes into the picture, romantically. I like Lois more than Lana. Although Lana is nice and sweet, Lois's character is funnier and more exciting. LOL
Lois slowly develops a crush on the 'red-blue-blur' a.k.a. Clark, who is admired by everyone after Jimmy manages to capture a glimpse of the man in action. She tries every way possible to contact him. Of course, she doesn't know that the city's superhero is really Clark Kent, the person sitting right in front of her everyday at the Daily Planet. She gets so desperate to meet him that she even creates a superhero of her own, acting as a bait, Stiletto. Hilarious!!! LOL Clark finally gives in, calls her through the public phone booth from time to time to talk to her, disguising with a deeper voice. She is thrilled to finally be able to speak to him.
Another new character, Davis Bloome a.k.a. Doomsday, the other Kryptonian who was sent to earth to kill Clark. What no one else knew was that Davis also came down to earth at the same time as Clark during the meteor shower. Davis finds out his true destiny. He can no longer control the killer and beast (literally) in him. More and more people are brutally murdered and dismembered. He realises one day that Chloe, the woman she loves, in the only thing that can calm the beast in him.
After recovering from the beast's attack during their wedding, Jimmy finds Davis snooping around and suspects that he is the serial killer. Nobody believes him, not even Chloe. Everyone thinks that his hallucinations are probably the effects of his medication. He gets upset, and decides to leave her. Chloe is devastated. Davis slowly moves on with her, begging her to be with him because only she can make him stay human.
Chloe has no choice. In order to save Clark from this beast who is destined to kill him, she has to sacrifice everything. One day, Clark and Chloe plan to kill Davis using liquid Kryptonite, hoping for it to have the same effect as it usually does on Clark. Davis 'dies' in the container. Days later, he shows up at Chloe's place. He explains everything to Chloe, about how he has become stronger and he is immortal. In order to stop the beast from killing more innocent people, he talks Chloe into staying together with him. Chloe decides to hide him in her basement.
One day, Oliver and Clark find out that Davis is alive. They make Chloe stay away from him. Clark brings him to the fortress, planning to send him to the Phantom Zone. Chloe convinces him to give Davis a second chance and takes him away. They run away from Smallville.
In the season finale, Clark realises that he can use Black Kryptonite to split the Kryptonian from Davis' human side. He hopes to destroy Doomsday once and for all, and still give Davis a chance to move on with a normal life. Oliver warns him that humans do have a darker side as well. In a fight between Clark and Davis, Clark was on the verge of defeat. Chloe points the Black Kryptonite at Davis, the beast came out of him and goes into the city. Davis is now human.
Clark chases after the beast and brings him to a plant. A planned explosion kills Doomsday while Clark escapes just in time. Jimmy brings Chloe and the unconscious Davis to a watch tower as Clark suggested. The watch tower was originally a wedding present from Jimmy to Chloe. As Davis lies there unconscious, Jimmy finally opens up to Chloe, saying that he knows about Clark's super powers and how much she has sacrificed because of him. He was sorry for the way he treated Chloe before. Chloe also explains that the reason he ran away with Davis was to protect Clark. The only person she will ever love is Jimmy.
Davis wakes up. After hearing all that, he stabs Jimmy out of anger. He can't believe that the woman she was obsessed with, the woman whom he thought truly loves him. He confronts Chloe. She has no way of escaping. He corners her, on the verge of killing her as well. Jimmy comes to her rescue and pushes Davis against a sharp object. Davis dies. Jimmy says his last words to Chloe. And then he dies.
Nooooooo...
During the funeral, Clark is nowhere to be seen. Then, he appears at Chloe's watch tower, all filled with guilt. Chloe tells him that Lois is still missing. She was supposed to meet Clark at the phone booth on the day he defeats Doomsday. He obviously could not show up. And the phone booth was near the plant that exploded. Chloe is worried she is dead.
Clark thinks that none of this would have happened if it wasn't for him. He shouldn't have trusted that Davis would be any better as a human. He says his goodbye to Chloe. He plans to leave Metropolis once and for all to be himself. He thinks that he can never be the human he has always wanted to be. He has to fulfill his destiny without any human emotions holding him back. Chloe couldn't make him stay no matter what he said. He finally leaves.
On the other hand, Zod resurrects.
*cue dramatic music*
This is when the REAL battle begins!
End of season.
Okay. I finally got all that out of my system. Now, I need to find something else to do!
=________=
I love and hate holidays.
Blessed Fathers' Day!
Everyone at FGA USJ had a blast during the service today. Impact took over the service in conjunction with this special day. We took the congregation back to the 70's! At least we HOPE we pulled it off. =D
Last night's practice was truly Saturday Night Fever. You should have seen how hyper Pei Yi was! In between practices, we sang all kinds of songs, and we ended the night with a little Jay Chou medley with Pei Yi on the piano. LOL! On the way home, we couldn't help singing along to the songs from her CD. She has PLENTY of good songs in them. I miss the 90's! >.<
We had a lot of fun during the worship practices, putting a little old school twist to the praise songs. We did actions too! It was fun getting the church to do more moves during this morning's worship. The whole service went really well. We took a risk this year by adding a theme and everyone loved it! If only we could get everyone to dress up. The adults could REALLY go back to their younger days again. Hehe.
I LOVED the dance performance. They managed to do an old school medley of dance within a short period of time. The girls looked great with their outfits. So proud of them. Good job girls! Special appreciation to Tze Hui and Yan Shan for coming up with the choreography.
Jade, Tze Mien, Joy, Amanda and Jeremy performed 'That's what friends are for', changing 'friends' to 'dads'. The harmonising sounded really good. Go Jade! =P Towards the end of the song, the whole youth group came out to finish the song together. The swaying was a little messy, but we had fun doing it. Seeing all the fathers' smiling faces makes it all worth while. =)
I can't wait for our next event. FGA USJ is one of the best places to be. Thank You Lord for blessing us with a wonderful church and a great day!

BLESSED FATHERS' DAY!!!
Farewell.
Chunhee and Yejin are leaving Family Outing. Noooo... they're my favourite people on the show. The show wouldn't be the same without them. Sigh. I think I'm gonna cry watching the next two episodes.
*sniff sniff*
(Still not sure what to wear on Sunday. Help!!!)

(Still not sure what to wear on Sunday. Help!!!)
Back to the 70's!
It's 70's theme this Sunday at FGA USJ in conjunction with Father's Day. Dress up, people!
But here comes another dilemma. What to wear? Don't tell me bell bottoms because I don't have any.
Went out with Cheryl, Nabs and Qiki today to watch '17 Again'. It's a really nice movie!!! Zac Efron is so dreamy... =P
After the movie, we went in a few stores looking for something 70's. Found a really nice top in Nichii. It should fit the theme I guess. But I'm still deciding. Now I need big belts and accessories. Hmmm...
Better ask my mom's opinion. I don't have much time left!
Can't wait to see how everyone will look this Sunday. LOL!

Freedom tastes sweet.
I can't believe it. I've done all my assignments!!! My semester is DONE!
(I can't think straight right now. So, please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes. Thank you!)
I'm so glad I didn't take any business electives, because they still have an exam in two weeks' time. Oh well. =P
For the past few weeks, UniSA library catalogue, Taylor's library online databases, PDF files, Microsoft Word, and 'Ctrl+S' have been my best friends. I even find myself automatically Ctrl+S-ing after typing every sentence! =S My brain and eyes are certainly feeling the aftermath right now.
The second half of the semester was no doubt crazier than the first. Although we didn't have assignments due every single week like before, we had a few final assignments all due few days' in a row! The past two weeks have been pure torture. Rushing two essays in one week, dealing with CSS codes over the weekend, watching TEN current affairs talk shows and writing critiques on those shows. At this point, I wish we had exams instead!
And for those who are wondering, it does NOT take you two hours to write a 2000-word essay. If you think you can, prove it. =)
This semester is by far the most hectic one. I'm so glad I managed to survive the first half of my degree! Thank you Jesus for taking me through all these assignments. I definitely felt you guiding me when I was doing, especially while doing my website! I would never have figured out the CSS without Your help. I truly believe that. =D
Some of the best moments of this semester was the ones that brought me closer to my goal, our class trips to NTV7 and One in a Million live show, and Final Cut workshop with 8TV and Prime Studios. The one assignment I enjoyed doing was our video shooting. For the first time, I really felt like a movie director. LOL! But production is tiring. Now we kinda now how it feels like to produce a movie. I'll be learning more about that in my next semester. And this time, we heard we will be required to come up with our own storyboard, script and etc. I'm so excited!!! More about TV and film production. Weeee~! If only we could take Music and Sound Studios too. =(
I can finally sleep in peace after many, MANY late nights!!! I need my sleep, BADLY. The afternoon naps I took during the past few days weren't even close to enough. That's how bad it is. When I went to see Mr. Zul this morning, he asked what happened to me, I looked so tired. What do you think? =__="
And now, I can finally watch all those variety shows I downloaded. I've been putting them on hold for weeks! My mom is actually watching more Korean drama than me right now. I didn't even think it was possible!!! Because she never liked it when I watch dramas because it makes me stop doing what I am doing. But now, she's worst than me! She even asked me to watch with her. LOL!!!
I was rushing my work on Sunday, feeling all stressed out, she was shouting for me from downstairs. I thought she wanted me to do some chores for her. And it turned out Coffee Talk & Hawker Walk was on, with Gurmit Singh. =__________________=" But I really thank her for calling me. The funny Gurmit Singh helped me de-stress. LOL! Did you know that he is part Chinese AND Japanese? Apparently he just found out that his mom was part Japanese as well. Cool!
Anyway, I smell freedom. And I'm gonna savor every single moment before I start looking for an internship. I need one BADLY. Hmmm... should I try Prime Studios? =P
Thank You, Lord for a great semester!
I think I feel a fever coming ... ... ...

Baby Mason Moon.
My new found love! <3
I saw him on a couple of episodes on the variety show, 'Good Daddy'. He's super adorable. He's only two years old! Probably the cutest baby (after baby Jeremy) in my opinion. Or maybe cuter? =P
He has a Canadian father and Korean mother. ^_^
LOL! Isn't he cute??? ^_^

Beatbox Hitman says SORRY SORRY!
He did Super Junior's 'Sorry, sorry'! The song already has a lot of beats in it, he added a lot more. Cool! =D
On a different note, Ms. Adeline announced today that we'll be having new electives next semester. And I love them!!! We'll have Introduction to Film & TV Production and Music & Sound Studio. YAY!!! For IFTP, only those who have taken Introduction to Digital Media are allowed to move on with it.
I was really torn between those two because MSS sounds fun too! But Nabs was right. If I want to work towards production, I should go for IFTP. Maybe I'll just keep nosing around those who chose MSS and see what they're up too. Apparently they might have to compose some music for some of their exercises. >.<
Can't wait for Semester 4. But right now, I'll have to get over my final four assignment first.
Again, back to work!!!

Two more weeks!
This is gonna sound very cliche, but I'm gonna say it anyway. Time really flies! My third semester is ending soon. I'm almost done with the first half of my degree! But we all know that last couple of weeks in the semester are always the most chaotic ones. Everyone is rushing for assignments, burning the midnight oil every night and actually STOP procrastinating for once in the semester. I know. That's bad. But apparently, procrastination is every college student's best friend! I read that somewhere.
Right now, I have four assignments due in less than two weeks, three next Friday. One final major assignment for every subject. This time, I feel that our assignments this semester are the most interesting, especially for IDM. I have to create an online portfolio for my second assignment, video shooting. This requires dealing with CSS.
*cue dramatic music*
Noooo... I know a little HTML. But CSS? Qiki said she might puke looking at all the coding. Cause even HTML codes made her dizzy. LOL Mr. Anan taught us a little bit yesterday. Thank God he uploaded a tutorial for this! We're not allowed to use any software to create our webpage directly like DreamWeaver, Microsoft Frontpage and etc. We have to start everything from scratch using Notepad.
We did a little HTML coding yesterday during tutorial and it's actually pretty easy. Although the page I created was VERY simple. We played around with Photoshop too. And for once, I actually learned so much more than just sharpening and blurring images. Hahaha! We have to design a header for our webpage that follow specific requirements.
I'm kinda done with that. Now, I have to actually start on the webpage. o.O HEEEEELP! I hope my eyes won't fail me after completing this assignment. Like Qiki said, the codings are just... @_@
Besides this, I have two other research essays, one about journalists slowly becoming multimedia practitioners and another essay for advertising (which I haven't exactly decided on the question =S). And the final assignment for our FAVOURITE subject with our FAVOURITE lecturer, watching and doing critiques for ten different current affairs talk show. =_=
Why do I (together with everyone else) feel like we learn so much more doing the assignments by ourselves and going for class trips than in the classroom itself? We had an interesting time doing the course evaluation on this subject last week.
So, those are the updates about college so far.
Next, IMPACT is sponsoring a child!!! We're doing it through Compassion International, one of the largest Christian child sponsorship organisations. Everyone was really excited about this when Pastor Sue announced it last Friday. It only takes USD32 per month. That's not a lot, looking at how big our youth group is.
A few of us, together with Pastor Sue, finally selected one on Sunday. So, IMPACT-ers, wait for our next meeting when we will announce our new sister! =D
Finally, if you're tired. Here's something that will help de-stress you. =D
Emperor Qin invented beatbox? 'bu ci ke, da ci ke, ci ke bu da ci ke' LOL!
Not your regular beatbox, eh? LOL!
