Truth in waiting

Sometimes I'm afraid I might one day forget what she sounded like, how she smiled, how she laughed, how she spoke, how she scolded us when she got back frm work, how she used to blow her nose like a trumpet every morn, the places she brought us to during spare time, the words she said... 

People say I look like her but I don't see that at all. She was fair with a radiant glow which went well with her good-nature, that attracted me to her.

"No man or woman can be too powerful or too beautiful without disaster befalling." [King Phillip to young Alexander, Alexander the movie]

or "Nothing is (or can be) perfect."

or maybe even "Good things never last."

Life needs the ups and downs. Seems that's how it maintains its balance. 

8 years gone, and she seems like another passing dream. Like I never met her, but the evidence is clear before my eyes when I look back at photographs. Everytime I have a memory of her, I plan to write it down.

What the world can't do without

Marine life.

Meet Ray. I wonder what happened to his fin.

(The Hoosiers - 'Worried About Ray'?)

I forgot his name but it's beautiful in its own scary way. 

That Japanese Spider crab. 

Sea Dragon. It moves slowly and gracefully with the water. And its sensitive to light, the only one on display with 'No Flashes' sign. But some tourists never read. 

The gelatinous beings with no heart. 

(The Killers -  I got Soul But I'm not a Soldier?)

3 lazy (or shy) sharks and a kepoh fish.

Dugong, he's cute in real life.

And the man we bumped into heehaw! Ghaz was doing an outdoor activity (sculpting) as part of his ADM class.

D'ohhhhhhhhh.

Stealing attention with their magnificence

No eyes, no heart. Meowww.

d-d-Disco Era

What stood out most for me about the disco era were the - roller skates!

The clip is from a film called Roll Bounce. A group of neighbourhood boys go to their local rink to skate (and practically rule it) just about everyday till one day it closes from running out of business. Heading to the Sweetwater Roller Rink, they realise their modest talents are not enough. 

The tricks and things in the show are wicked. But that's not why I wanna learn inline. Just that free willy feeling of cruising about. That is if I have (or can) learned doing it proper. 

Another tribute to them d-d-Disco days! A song originally sung by McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now.

Michael turns 50

Michael Jackson - Come Together (Beatles cover)

"Michael Jackson's 50th birthday, a milestone that will likely be feted bymany a newspaper in need of a holiday-weekend feature hole and a lot of morning-radio shows dredging up old jokes about plastic surgery and hyperbaric chambers. Thinking about Jackson hitting the big 5-0 has actually made me think about how the whole culture of celebrity has changed over the course of his fame... (etc.) " [idolator]

Think he still dances like he used to? Guess not. Maybe after he's died they'll saw off his feet and auction it off for 6 - 9 figure sum. Hmm talk about foot fetish. I still love you Michael!!!

And you know Pixar's done it again

I love you

All of you. The polar bears in the Mandai Zoo, my family, my friends, boyfriend, best friends, Knut, Ah Meng (bless his/her soul), Mirzan, Ronald MacDonald, Steve Jobs, Jared Leto, Roseminah Ali, the dolphins in Japan (my love goes out to you), the trees and creatures of the Amazon, Retro Rocket, Backstreet Boys, Ruzanna Jamil, Michael Phelps, Li Jia Wei, John Lennon (bless his soul), and the rest of the world. 

Sometimes you just need to cry a little, and everything is alright.
