Happy Birthday to Great Khali, Nick Shen and Shulin
What could be worse than reaching the workplace late on Wednesday morning? Nearly being spotted by your ex-boss at the MOS Burger outlet at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Yep, that was exactly what happened yesterday morning. Fortunately, the big guy Jeff was too busy chatting with the employees of that outlet, and I was buying some buns from BreadTalk before I ran off to take the earliest bus. Seeing my ex-boss face-to-face was the last thing on my mind... I wonder if such occurrence would happen again in the near future. Not that it's a big problem whatsoever.
I saw the list of the Top 24 for Singapore Idol season 3, and even now I still couldn't find anyone to connect with, if I have to be honest. I'm not even gonna bother going for the first SI semi-finalists roadshow at the Cathay (or any of them for that matter), esp since I got work to do. Good thing is, about 95% of the finalists are younger than me (haha!!), save for a 28-yr-old data entry officer who is already married. Oh, and there's a fair share of beauties as well (more sweetie pies and less rock chicks)... the ones who caught my eye are Charlene, Samantha, Sylvia and Gabrielle (but I still ain't gonna add any of them on Facebook whatsoever, not counting fan pages). Yikes, and that Vickie Guerrero lookalike Frances Maria is among the Top 24 as well??? :-O
As most of us know, this coming Saturday is of great significance... it is what was to be Michael Jackson's 51st birthday, had he not left this world on June 25th (another day to be remembered, much like August 16th which is Elvis' death anniversary). There were recent reports that his demise is ruled as drug overdose homicide... that MJ's cardiologist Dr Conrad Murray had injected lots of sedatives into him between 1.30 am to 10.40 am... stuff like Valium, Ativan, Diprivan and the like. This obviously makes it most likely that criminal charges will be filed against Dr Murray. Whatever the verdict, the damage had already been done. The fateful day of MJ's passing is enough to burn a big hole within our hearts. The passing of an interntional pop star who inspired many of today's artistes, a megastar who led a brilliant yet troubled life.
As the MJ tribute song by The Game, Usher, Boyz II men, Diddy and many other artistes suggests, we look up in the sky and wonder why he had to go... and then that's when we know "it's better on the other side". As much as we needed him here, Heaven must have needed him more than ever. He will be laid to rest in Glendale Park come September 3rd, follwoing a private ceremony that is to be attended by family members.
While I'm looking forward to the MJ Dance Contest Finals at Orchard Central on Saturday evening, I would like to remind the rest of you who plan to stay at home to watch "MJ HIStory Tour LIVE in Munich" at 7 pm on Channel 5. But you can still watch the videos on Youtube ;-)
