FINAL FAREWELL
All hail the king of pop. I think, and it has been repeated a thousand times over, that his death was his ultimate publicity. Not only for him but for the whole Jackson family. However last night, after watching the This Is It movie, i know why thousands, maybe even millions were aghast and saddened when he died. The world had indeed lost a genius, a musical genius. He may not have composed concertos, or wrote symphonies but what he contributed to the music industry was as profound as the former. I would definitely deem him as THE ultimate performer, always wanting to push the boundaries of everything imaginable. His concert, if it did happen would definitely not have been a let down. Despite ridden with many illnesses and being very weak, he could still move like he did at his peak. He was as fluid, vibrant and spontaneous as ever. His need for perfection was also what made everything sparkle. There were no slip ups, and one could tell that everyone was definitely pushed to their limit. I have absolutely no regrets in watching the movie, even the audience was really spontaneous! Cheering when a particular song was good, clapping after every single song, it was a very different movie experience.

Now i know why i dread going to work. Firstly cause its just so damn freaking cold. Second cause i have to speak in chinese more than 50 % of the time. Third cause i'm a lone fox who works alone so it can get quite lonely. Fourth cause i have to work on weekends. I do get weekdays off but its just not the same, it just doesn't really feel like a break, maybe cause i am just too used to the concept of having a break on the weekend. Fifth cause time passes really really extremely slowly, like EXTREMELY SLOWLY. I definitely won't quit, cause the ultimate prize is too good to pass up, but i don't think i'll enjoy it much! If i could make one request it'd just be to work with someone else.

What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things,
That you said we were to gain...
What about killings fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The cry earth the weeping shores?
