Honouring The King of Pop

The wrath of the King ended and departed after ministering a series of problems in the early 90s.

The first problem that significantly turned his life upside down was the alleged child abuse scandal. Almost immediately, the recording company dispel his contract leaving him idle for a very long time.

But even though the accusation reached the ears of the public, fans around the world still endorse his success as the most prominent artist in the music industry.

His album, Thriller, remains the world best-selling album of all time, while his other four albums rank's top in the list.

Even though he was well respected for being an excellent entertainer, he’s child sexual abuse scandal gradually brought out the worst of him.

Not only did he find it difficult to walk around at home (paparazzi), his panel of lawyers resorted to possible mental illness declaration as his last form of defence.

But thankfully, the judges decided to set him free after finding something amiss within the collected evidence. And from then on, there were no leads to his accusations.

When the controversy finally ended, health problems quickly took charged and left him in a serious financial crisis after spending millions on his bail.

He also made difficult choices to auction out his most prized Marvel and DC comic characters to the public in order to make ends meet. His trusted manager on the other hand attempted to leave him during his darkest hour.

But that wasn’t his biggest problem. He announced his poor childhood moments on The Opera Show in the early 90s and thoroughly explains how his father instil fear and loneliness in his life.

In the show, he states that his father’s action has caused years of trauma in his life and he constantly cried in his dad's presents.

Because of that, he made initiative and founded an organization called, Heal the World Foundation, and donated over 300 million dollars to charity centres affiliated to his company.

When he finally got through everything, he fell gently on the floor looking upwards to his children and left the world with his outstanding track record in charity and unbeatable album sale.

We miss him terribly.



In Memory's of Michael Jackson, the greatest artist of all time.

So you are in love...

“They do not love that do not show their love,” William Shakespeare. Literally mean that they (girls) do not love those who do not love them back. Or in another form, you might come across the saying “why should I love someone who doesn’t love me”. No matter how different women and men are, we must look through all angles with caution and not repeat the same mistake over and over, with the assumption that she's sooo into you.

Women are often seen as weak and unrealistic to the real world by men. But if you look at the bright side, we are finally embracing the fact that both men and women are different. And different people have different qualities in their respective field, prior to the book Men are from mars, Women are from Venus.

We all have our own definition on love but we tend to interpret that feeling based on what we belief, which could either go very right or very wrong, depending on the person you are dealing with. Some girls take physical attraction to heart and some requires genuinity, you will never know until you make effort to understand their true nature.

Regardless of which, end of the day, they just want to be that special person and not someone on par with your movie buddy. They want you to prove it genuinely under their terms and conditions. Well as for us, we only require a simple loyalty (not meeting other boys) and uncomplicated female companionship. But do remember, the key is to understand them and not call names after knowing their capabilities.

No matter what we think, there are still significant amount of women who only favours people with good looks and luxuries. “I like boys with fast cars, they turn me on,” I bet you hear that all the time. Girls must understand that Malaysia consist mostly of the average income group. And if one would to discriminate another over wealth, he or she will be loosing out to the 70% average crowd, which in my opinion, no one really thought about.

We can’t blame girls for being like that because most of them are born shopaholic and to pass time, money is needed. So end of the day, what do girls really need?

They need moderation, a little bit on the financial side, a little bit on the genuine side and a presentable look. But if you’re neither here nor there, you’ll have a tough time getting the girl you want. Just imagine a scenario where you don’t own a vehicle and the girl you like is 20 kilometres away.

Another interesting aspect to look at is the term, love at first sight, it is often overrated and overused. The term has nothing special embedded in it but a mere good first impression. Most of the time those feelings don't last.

The first thing a girl will note is your confidence through the outfit that you’re wearing. A neat and casual outfit is a good first impression but be careful not to overdress as it gives out an uneasy feeling.

Even though is ideal to leave a good first impression, you must understand that everything has a price. Because of your efforts, they have a fair share of high expectations from you in the future. And I bet you don't realise that.

Also, girls are attracted to boys who carry themselves well in the first five minutes conversation and often assume that you have certain amount of qualities that they desire. So be careful and try not to allow her to expect too much from you, in other words, be humble.

One of the most common misinterpretation of boy's comes from the physical acceptance of a girl. If she holds your hand and hug you, that doesn’t mean she loves you. If she cares about you, that doesn’t mean she loves you. If she hates you for no reason, that doesn’t mean she love you. The fact is, some girls are naturally seductive and it is essential to know them better before thinking too much or acting out hastily.

So end of the day, does girls really care about your inner self? The answer is half no. There are numerous boys next door who are born gentlemen and suave in their natural behaviour with average looks but that is not enough get the girl going gaga over him. You'll need to pass certain standards of physical attraction and financial capabilities to get them talking to you, so make sure the girl that you are trying to get is not obsessed with physical appearances. Unless you own a Maserati, if not, listen to what I'm telling you.

On a similar issue, we often hear the overly used phrase “We love bad boys”. It is extremely metaphoric and amateur to like a bad person. As boys, we are not blind. The bad boys tend to be filthy rich, annoyingly handsome and gruesomely talented. To prove my point, girls only tag along with bad boys if he has something for her to die for. And they often rationalized it by saying good guys are boring.

So after reading afar, you’ll be cracking your head on what is the best course of action to get a girl. The rule is simple, just save money, if you have none. We must look at how the media portray relationships, it is filled with flowers, dinners and gifts that are practically marketing strategy to fool young kids that girls love them.

But then again, if you don't provide enough, they might turn the situation around and jump to conclusion that you’re not sincere because there are millions of ways to earn money. They believe that you’re not trying hard enough to get them, sometimes.

Having said so, why do men still submit to their nonsense? Is it really true love? A one girl man? Well guess what, guys are not like that, no offence. They (girls) have something we need, which is sex, according to Maslow Hierarchy of needs. If the girls can work their charm on us, so can we. So why go through the trouble when the ending is always the same? or assuming something that ends the same. Well for that, we have to ask god. We're either too smart to do something simple or too stupid to choose a difficult path.

But hey! Even if the girl doesn't portray the need to spend, situation still force us to spend unrationally. Most guys are happy when do something good for their love ones. But of course, never turn the situation around and use it as a defence by saying "I spend a lot on you and I hope you show some gratitude".

So how should we approach girls? The best way to get a girl is to follow the tip in saving money and treat them with respect. But let me get it straight, respect doesn’t mean good and respect doesn’t mean showering her with sweet and caring words. Be confident in front of them and treat them accordingly based on manners, soft spoke-ness, and other suave personality. This will make them feel at home and not to categorize you as an annoying magnet sticking on their nerves. Moreover, your efforts are more than welcome to their idealistic boyfriend.

After you succeed in getting the person you want, you’ll be puzzle about maintenance. This is also another simple step that we often ignore. Just communicate more, be it a hobby or future prospect, this way both of you will understand each other more.

However, discussions come arguements, we all know that. But try not to lose your cool when she’s not being understanding, chances are that you are assuming something about her and she's assume something about you. Make sure both of you see each others point thoroughly before jumping into any conclusion.

Well, I can't nature you all the way, there are many aspect in a relationship that you have to learn it the hard way. And every girl is still a mystery. So absorb it positively and see if what I’ve said make any sense to you.

Best regards for wasting your fucking time with me,
Good bye.

Merry Christmas!

It never really cross my mind to believe astronomy until the prediction became reality. Despite the economy and political crisis that happened throughout the year, I'm pretty darn sure that everyone out there is having a tough time coping with the endless stress that 2008 has brought upon us.

As a freshman in degree, transition was the only potential issue. Nothing too serious, just the usual getting-used-to-the-environment excitement that everyone goes through, some would regard it as growing up pain. Unlike certain people, some of us have to endure layers of problems that prevent the transition process to move smoothly. Let us go back in time for a while.

Choosing the right course that matches our dream job is hard enough but choosing the right location based on your financial standing is harder. Just when you thought your miseries are over, the nerve wracking grades requirement kicks in with no mercy.

Well, not every colleges and universities out there are as lenient as to accept borderline passes into their institution, unless your parents intend to donate a brand new science lab or a few hundred thousand dollars in cash, then you might get in with your poor results, but not everyone is that fortunate out there. So sometimes I ask myself, is money everything to education? What happen to you if you’re poor with minimal passes on SPM?

Surely you would give up in education and submit to the harsh reality by working at a young age. IF only government recognizes the psychological impact on average students.

My question is who deserves education scholarship? Is it the poor with average/poor result or rich with outstanding results? Let’s face it; the rich can afford state of the art brain development institutions that motivate learning ability at a young age, while poor students rely on talents.

But let’s face it again, who are these talented people? The advantage goes to the rich again, uncontested. Well it’s really simple if you look closely, parents with talent are often rich and significantly prominent while the poor people get rich the hard way. But then again, that was last time when our country suffers the aftermath of British invasion. What about now?

The present doesn’t exactly permit one to learn the hard way, not because hard workers are insignificant but the fact that the opportunity out there is lessened. What I mean is without recommendations and strings to pull, you may never get the opportunity you deserve, unless you possess a skill and a talent.

But does the issues ends there? Well, not for everyone. This time the blame goes to the parents out there (read and understand if you’re a parent). Education isn’t a path just by sitting down hearing endless lectures and producing good result based on who can remember more. If one would to work in the field of interest first, they would have the edge over students without working experience. This will significantly guide students to what they really want and a thorough understanding of the career path that they choose and not get surprised later on in life.

The problem lies on the timeframe of our education journey. They think that working first will significantly jeopardize their dream of seeing us in higher institution. Moreover, they concur that working in-between education is a waste of time and conclude that only the unfortunate resort to such action. Ignorant.

Then again, how is education perceived these days? From my experience, education is only perceived as books and courses and not a place where one absorb knowledge. Working could be a stepping stone to many possibilities and also a vital experience that benefits students in their tertiary education. But does our parent’s see that? They often ignore that fact and expect us to finish our education at the fastest possible timeframe, so they can get on with their lives, screaming out loud – Mission Accomplished!

To prove my point, education is not as simple as one sees because there are other social conflict that some would face aside from coping with the program. That is why lecturers are easy on students these days because they understand that we have more important things in our hands to solve than a 50 marks assignment. If only our parent’s sees that.

Right now, I face a moment of solitude during the vital moment of Christmas, it never occur to me that one would celebrate the culture alone. Even though some would regard the celebration like any ordinary day, but nonetheless, the fact remains the same, you are here and they are out there having a good time.

Being alone on a day like Christmas is bad enough but having nothing to look forward after Christmas is worst. And for those who just broke up in a relationship I wish you well while Santa and god pledge their duties in churches. This is the part where religious followers manifest their beliefs by portraying god as a mysterious person who works in mysterious way, that’s arrogance if you ask me.

But what did I do in the end? I hit the clubs with a few close friends as planned but the situation got a little out of hand. This happen after I realise a devastating F on my result slip for one of the subjects. Mind you that this is the first I ever fail for a subject.

So, just like any teenager out there, I got myself really drunk, vomited countless amount of time and got my fabric stained with unimaginable bile.

Of course, initially, the outing was pre-planned with the purpose to cheer me up after my set back in life but the F was totally unexpected.

Okok! I'll stop whining. It is already the third day. Hangovers still kicks in but I’m through with 2008, life has so much to offer if only I'm patient.

But all I really wanted to say is Merry Christmas. All's well that ends well, 2009 is the year to look forward to and I really don’t know why I’m writing this piece of shit.


Thank you enough for wasting your time,
Good luck with everything.
