I’m To Light Up The World

Hello everyone! Sorry for shamelessly abandoning my blog the past week. Heh. :p I have absolutely no excuses because I actually had the time to update my blog at least twice! Sorry! But I’m back and really, I PROMISE that this time, I will get some videos up over the weekend! :)

So anyway! One of the most talked about movies of the year was the behind the scenes footage from Michael Jackson’s This Is It tour.

I personally really really enjoyed it and wouldn’t mind watching it again. However, there were a number of people who said it was disappointing and that they expected more.

I think it was a mistake on the part of the promoters to call this a movie because this is by no means a movie, nor is it a concert. I know many people went into the theatre expecting a concert. So when I entered the theatre, I had already prepared myself and reminded myself many times that this was BEHIND THE SCENES footage so I wasn’t expecting impressive concert performances, professional camera footage, perfect dance sequences and the like.

That being said, after watching this, I feel so sad that this concert never happened because it looked like it would have been a great one. While his voice no longer has the range or the rich, velvety smoothness he once had, he is, in my opinion, STILL the world’s best performer. No one can bring it the way MJ can!

However, where he lacked in terms of his voice, he made up for it in dancing! His dancing, is still as incredible as it was, 10 years ago. Considering he has aged significantly and has faced a number of health problems, I thought he was amazing. The energy and precision that goes into every single move never fails to amaze me. You can FEEL the enthusiasm emanating of him!

And I have to say, he had an AMAZING team of dancers supporting him. Omg, seriously. If they were THAT amazing during rehearsals, I can only imagine how incredible the concerts would have been!

I think it was incredible to be able to see him work and to see how much effort he puts into his concerts to make them what they are because people are right, a Michael Jackson concert is not just a concert, it is an EXPERIENCE and I saw that in this movie.

Favourite scene in the movie? The Thriller bit! Gave me goosebumps, I swear! Thriller is one of my FAVOURITE songs and oh man, to see him and his dancers dance to Thriller on stage in costumes, AMAZING!

Didn’t like the way he changed the musical arrangement for The Way You Make Me Feel though. That’s my favourite MJ song of all time and I really just didn’t like what he did to it. Sorry MJ!

The only thing I found disappointing was that it was really short. 1.5 hours maybe? I thought it was going to be much longer and I would have liked to see more.

So! What did you think of the movie? Were you singing along to all the songs the way Bryan and I were? :p

RIP Michael Jackson. You are a legend and you will ALWAYS be the King of Pop.

Whatever Will Be, Will Be

Hello everyone! I’m absolutely exhausted right now. So little sleep the whole week + exams + stress + a whole day out with the girls today has really drained me but because I promised I’d update my blog, here I am! :D

So for those of you who enjoy watching my videos, you are going to LOVE this one! This is a haul video I did with my bestfriend! :D

It was her idea actually, she said we should do a haul together and I thought it was a brilliant idea! We had heaps of fun filming this video and we’re already planning our next one.

For those of you who don’t already read Ling’s blog, it’s http://www.khailing.com/

And the story about the earrings. Lol. We were at the counter paying and we noticed these earrings in someone else’s pile of stuff and we were like, “OMG, SO PRETTY!” But I thought, okay, this is definitely going to be super expensive because it LOOKS expensive. Then we looked at the price and it was only RM23 or RM21 or something non-expensive like that! How not to buy, you tell me?!? Lol. :D Ling and I were SO excited! Haha! But I literally bought another pair of earrings WHILE I was paying for my other stuff. :p

Okay, anyway, I’m super tired, I should be filming some new videos this weekend so look out for that! :)

When I Look Into Your Eyes, I Can See A Love Restrained

Hello everyone! :) My blog will be updated on Friday with something I have never done before! :D Whoooo! Are you excited? I am!

Until then, here’s a funny picture I received in an e-mail my mum sent me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Poor doggy. :p

And I love how he’s (the dog) just sleeping through it as if “Pshht, this happens twice a day, whatever” LOL!

Btw, if you’re wondering how it’s going with my finals, I’ve only finished my Chemistry papers so far and they were not as bad as I expected them to be. Tomorrow, I have Spanish and Math paper 1 and then on Friday, Math paper 2. Wish me luck ya’llz!

I hope this picture put a smile on your face the way it put a smile on mine.

See you on Friday! ;)
