We journeyed via coach all the way to Kuala Lumpur & reached Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Airport Terminal

around 2.30 am..

While waiting to check in on our flight, my entire family spent a few hours of our time chit-chatting over coffee & snacks at their coffeehouse there..

We checked in on our flight around 5.30am..

We flew to Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia, via AirAsia..

We reached Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia around 7plus am in the morning..

Our Malaysian relatives came to pick us up from the airport & we went for breakfast at the nearby hawker centre before going to visit a pair of relatives..

Checked into Primula Beach Hotel

that afternoon at 12pm..

We had our steamboat dinner that evening at the nearby beach side seafood restaurant called Restaurant Ocean..

That's us having a family dinner..

Following which we went for a stroll in the nearby kampung & beach.. :)

That's my aunts & a villager from the kampung caught in the act of plucking fruits from a tree..

Tsk Tsk.. So unglam.. Hahaha! :p

This poor monkey was chained to a kampung house.. He even "posed" for me to take his photo.. ;)

The beach's just in front of our hotel.. :)

Here are several photos I took of the beautiful beach at dusk..

All the holiday photos were taken via my iPhone cos' my Canon camera "died" on me when I arrived in Kuala Terengganu.. :(

Saturday, 13th of February 2010

We woke up to a beautiful morning & here are several photos I took (via my iPhone) of the morning that was breaking..

Following that was early morning buffet breakfast at our hotel lobby cafe! :)

After a sumptuous breakfast, we rested in our hotel room for about 2 hours before we brought both our sons for a splashing good time at our hotel's beautiful swimming pool! :)

They were delighted! :)

The hotel's swimming pool and the beach beside it are so beautiful.. Check out the photos I took of both via my iPhone..


We spent most of the day resting in our hotel room after that.. Watching movies on cable tv.. :)

After which, a Malaysian relative of ours drove us to visit a relative..

After the visitation, that afternoon, all of us headed to Mydin Hypermarket

located in the Central district..

Mydin Hypermarkett was located right next to Giant Hypermart, however, the irony was the products sold in Mydin Hypermarket was much cheaper that products sold in Giant Hypermart..

Did a bit of shopping at Mydin Hypermarket & after which we had our lunch at the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet there.. :)

We took a taxi back to our hotel after that & we brought the boys to swim at the hotel's swimming pool again.. :)

Thursday, 29th of October 2009 & Friday, 30th of October 2009.. Michael Jackson's This Is It movie! :)

Finally... This Is It!!! :)

I booked 3 tickets online a month ago for Michael Jackson's This Is It movie..

Hubby & Clement went to watch the 29th of October 2009's screening at AMK Hub & I went to watch the 30th of October 2009's screening at The Grand Cathay (Digital) yesterday..

What can I say.. I'm so moved & impressed!

This is a movie unlike no other..

This is a must-see for every MJ fan and even non-fans to understand why he was so popular and deserved every bit of the title King of the Pop.

Forever an amazing & a very dedicated performer; entertainer, an extremely talented & consummate artiste, a perfectionist, and a visionary..

The film's overflowing with his energy, passion, and dedication.

I was completely blown away and entertained from beginning to end.

His voice and his dance moves are top form and timeless.

He sang most of his greatest hits, even from the Jackson 5 era.

His voice sometimes showed his age, but his dance moves do not, at all.

Together with his selected dancers, they were smashingly awesome!

The talent,from the dancers to the musicians to the lighting and effects crew were just first rate all the way!

The entire movie was like a little family making a big project come true..

The concert would have been nothing but awesome!

If the rehearsals could be this good and engaging, one could only imagine what the concerts would've been.

It makes me sad when I see what a fantastic production this could've been to know that the world never got a chance to see it.

The intimacy of this footage makes you feel, not like you're in a concert, but like you're witness to very private performances.

You get to see first hand how involved MJ was (to every little detail of production and planning).

Lots of MJ songs and practice sessions... (Got me singing along & tapping my feet to many of them) :)

There was so much creativity, sweetness, professionalism, understanding, effort, energy in the film!

The professionalism and patience of ortega was outstanding, he was perfect for this whole production, the cast was phenomenal, MJ was awesome!

The young female guitarist was not just good looking, but crazily good with the guitar as well.

So were the vocalists..

Smooth Criminal, Thriller, The Earth Songsegments, were brilliant! but again, they're all very excellent.

I don't feel the film is exploiting his death in any way.

It's simply paying the tribute and gives fans something they deserve to see.

This film easily re-ignited my appreciation for the man, who was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

Michael Jackson
was the greatest dancer in the history of mankind.

This documentary shows that hours before his death, he remained the greatest dancer in the history of mankind.

He was a revelation, pure and simple.

We see—for the first time—MJ without a mask. I won't attempt to characterize this complicated, insanely talented, person, but basically he's painfully shy.

And he excelled at one of the most public vocations there is: performing.

And what made him so admirable, was despite the fact of him being such an amazing; worldwide well-known pop icon of all time, he's such a humble guy..

And the greatest achievement in Kenny Ortega's simple, elegant and respectful tribute is that it allows the viewer, without a shred of distraction, to witness the process of an artist.

If you're concerned that the film will be an act of gross exploitation and an attempt to squeeze every last dime in the wake of Michael Jackson's death, know this: I haven't the slightest doubt that Michael would have wanted his fans to see this footage.

This is a film about the process, nothing more.

We're just lucky that this process happens to revolve around the finest entertainer of our time.

If you're even the slightest fan, this is a must see.

If you're not, I dare you not to be won over.

Also, if you're looking for signs of fatigue from Michael Jackson, you will be disappointed.

In fact, if there's one thing that bothered me about the film, it's that Michael was in such outrageously great shape that it's angering to think he died so close to the finish line.

We don't have many great entertainers left in the world. And the fact that at 50 years of age, Michael blows the top 10 pop singers of today out of the sky, is rather remarkable.

Prepare for an informative, emotional and downright exciting concert-film. This is it will show the world that with all the noise, all the distractions, all the craziness: Michael Jackson still had it.

A really great movie which is a must see for everyone!

Even though you aren't a fan of Michael, you should go watch it & really love the man!

To me, Michael Jackson, whether dead or alive, will always & forever be the reigning king of pop and music!

And I'm certain I'm speaking on behalf of all his fans from all over the world! :)

It's All For Love, 28 October 2009

Author: L Hooper from United Kingdom

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A strong feeling of love towards myself, everyone around me and planet Earth is what I left the cinema feeling. Michael was alive again for those two hours. This Is It showcases the King of Pop at his finest.

As the lights blackened and the Columbia Pictures animation played, the theatre erupted with cheers of "I love you Michael" and "God bless you Michael". After the chaos died down the audience sat in awe as the King did what he did best; he thrilled us.

From the rocking tunes of They Don't Care About Us and Beat It(which I was particularly impressed with) to those real toe tapping hits such as The Way You Make Me Feel, Billie Jean and Wanna Be Startin' Something to the beautifully emotional songs that really showcased Michael's ability as a singer such as Human Nature and I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Michael truly dominated the stage. Every single person in the theatre was singing along and clapping for and after every song. I was over the moon with the recreation of the Jackson Five seeing as The Love You Save is a touching one for me. The real fun came with the especially theatrical numbers that were Thriller and Smooth Criminal, both had me in fits of happiness. Then, after a dramatic and heart touching rendition of Earth Song, Man In The Mirror drew the whole show to its close, emanating love and Michael's passion for people to make a change.

I saw not one single thing, in my opinion, wrong with this film and I believe everyone will enjoy it. If you aren't a Michael Jackson fan, while you may not appreciate the significance of This Is It, you will sure as hell have a brilliant time. And if you are an MJ fan, you will truly appreciate the greatness and strong sense of meaning behind the final documentation of the true King of Pop's work, the legacy of Michael Jackson.

Loved it!!, 28 October 2009

I went to the early premiere on the 27th and took my four year old son who is a huge M.J fan and he just loved he was singing and dancing and clapping and screaming having a great time... As for me I thought that this moving was amazing... If you are a Michael fan it is a must see, you will see him in a whole new way and if you are a hater you need to see it because it may just make you change your opinion about this amazing, talented man. He is so talented and gracious and for as amazing and talented as he was he didn't even act all superior he was kind and loving... Oh and the guitarist are just wow.... You gotta see it in IMAX I know I wanna go back and see it in IMAX!!! At the end it was dedicated to his three kids....

Forever Michael, 28 October 2009

Author: Kristine (kristinedrama14@msn.com) from Chicago, Illinois

Fans around the world had a very sad day this year when the news of Michael Jackson's death was announced. Michael had inspired so many, wither it was dancing, singing, wardrobe, or just being a generous human. The thing that made Michael so special that many people don't realize why he was so special to so many, how many years Michael had been performing. Since he was a child, my grandparents, my parents and my sister and I were fans. 3 generations as I'm sure many families feel the same.

This Is It was supposed to be Michael's major comeback tour after years of hiding after all the child molestation trial drama. 50 sold out concerts in London, I was so excited and hoping he was going to possibly come back to the states for another world tour and was even looking up how much the tickets were. Unfortunately, Michael passed away just a few days away from performing.

This Is It documents the rehearsal footage of his future concerts. Ranging from a wide variety of his mega hits from his newest song This Is It going back to his roots singing "I Want You Back", "I'll Be There" and "State of Shock". Of course also performing all of the fan favorites from his Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous Albums as well. Watching this movie got me teary eyed as well as others in the theater when he performed both "Human Nature" and "I'll Be There", he still had his wonderful voice giving his all. Michael was an absolute perfectionist and his shows in this documentary as other describe how he knows his tune and his years of experience has helped them grow.

Also having little commentaries with the musicians and dancers, everyone so excited to work with Michael. You could tell this was the cherry on top of the sundae for them working with one of the world's greatest entertainers. The girl who was rocking out on the lead guitar was beyond awesome, my sister and I had our jaws dropped on how she just tickled those strings making those incredible sounds come out. The dancers were also just wonderful and had such energy and presence and would've done a terrific job.

All I can say is that This Is It would have been the ultimate concert. Michael really went all out for this concert with mini movies introducing his songs. He had a little Chicago gangsters clip with Humphrey Bogart and other gangsters chasing after Michael. Thriller was also such a show with the dancers rising from their graves and their costumes were awesome! Michael also did a very touching performance of Earth Song that would make anyone want to look at our Earth and want to make a difference.

To sum this up, this was a gift to Michael Jackson fans and was incredible to watch. Even if you're not a MJ fan like my boyfriend is, you'll still enjoy it, he was impressed on how dedicated everyone was and loved the music. This Is It should not be missed!

I DETEST rude people..

I DETEST people who speak sarcarstically.. (Want to speak that way, then jolly well have the guts to say it to my face!)

I DETEST people who think I owe them the whole world just because of the fact that they had done me a favour before..

I DETEST people who have faces that look like it's been soaked in pickled juice everyday..

I DETEST people who carry their "black" faces everywhere.. especially to work..

I DETEST people who are very temperamental & inconsistent in their moods.. Their moods change like the weather.. 1 minute they happy, they're in a good mood, the very next minute, they are in a foul mood..

I DETEST people who are also inconsistent in their words.. Say a thing 1 minute, but say another the next minute..

I DETEST people who say 1 thing but do another..

I DETEST people who "puts words in my mouth".. Things I never said, they say I did.. WTF???!!!

I DETEST people who "act smart".. Like the saying in the Hokkien dialect goes.. "Smart enough can already.. Don't try to "act smart"..

I DETEST people who talk without putting themselves in other people's shoes..

I DETEST people who assume EVERYTHING when they actually don't know ANYTHING..

I DETEST people who say "somebody" said this & that when actually that "somebody" is nobody but they themselves.. (which leads to my next point..)

I DETEST people who lie..

I DETEST people who talk behind my back when they say they don't..

I DETEST people who only want things done their way..

I DETEST people who always try to explain themselves & want people to accept their explanation, YET do not bother to give others a chance to explain themselves & accept their explanations..

I DETEST people who are not correctable..

I DETEST people who only think bad of others..

I DETEST people who are ungrateful..

I DETEST people who DETEST ME..

People I detest, I always make it a point to remain distant from them..

I choose not to be close to them even if we are related or have to be related in anyway..

They will always be nothing but just acquaintances to me..

Watched Michael Jackson's Memorial Service held at Staples Center, Los Angeles, on the 7th of July 2009 @ 1.30am (Singapore Time)

The two-and-a-half hour Michael Jackson's Memorial Service held at Staples Center, Los Angeles, on the 7th of July 2009, at 1.30am (Singapore time) was a very touching, inspiring & heart-wrenching one..

[For those who missed it, the memorial service can be watched on Youtube..]

A handout photo shows programs placed on seats before Michael Jackson's Public Memorial Service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles July 7, 2009. Michael Jackson's family and close friends held a private service at a Los Angeles cemetery on Tuesday as fans crowded into the city's downtown area for a star-packed public memorial to the "King of Pop."

Michael Jackson's casket is carried into the Staples Center during his public memorial service in Los Angeles July 7, 2009. A Gospel choir singing "We're going to see the king" launched an emotional public memorial for Michael Jackson on Tuesday as the music world and thousands of fans bade farewell to the singer known as the "King of Pop."

The tribute to the late singer ended after his family took to the stage to address the assembled crowd at Los Angeles' Staples Center, with his 11-year-old daughter, Paris, speaking about how much she loved her father.

The two-and-a-half hour service - which featured a mix of performances, tributes and recollections from those who knew the pop icon - was dominated by the presence of the star's coffin in the centre of the stage, reportedly due to Michael's parents Joe and Katherine Jackson's wish to have an occasion similar to the funeral of the late Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in 1997.

The 18-car motorcade accompanying the coffin from Joe and Katherine's house to the cemetery was given a police escort and forced major Los Angeles roads to shut.

Police roadblocks around the resting place prevented fans from approaching the private service.

R.I.P. Michael..

You will always be remembered as the awesomely, impressively, amazingly talented King of Pop forever..

No one could ever take your place ever since you made it into the entertainment scene in 1970 till this very day..

We will always love you & miss you..


Your music & legacy lives on..

Michael Jackson Memorial held at Staples Center, Los Angeles on the 7th of July 2009..

This is it!

A Michael Jackson memorial service will be held on the 7th July 2009 at Staples Center, Los Angeles.

A total of 1.6 million scrambled for the tickets..

However, many were disappointed as only 11,000 tickets were given out free to the selected lucky applicants..

The 90-minute event will be a celebration of the life of Jackson, who died on June 25 at age 50 of an apparent cardiac arrest.

Among the memorial participants will be Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Usher, Lionel Richie, Kobe Bryant, Jennifer Hudson, John Mayer and Martin Luther King III.

Fans wait in line to sign a large poster of Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Monday..

About 50 theaters across the country, from Los Angeles to Topeka, Kansas, to Washington, D.C., were planning to broadcast the memorial live, for free.

A motorcade has left the home of Michael Jackson's parents, apparently heading for a private service in advance of a star-studded memorial in downtown Los Angeles.

Numerous vehicles under California Highway Patrol escort headed out from the San Fernando Valley property shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday. The motorcade included five Rolls-Royces, three Cadillac Escalades and 10 identical black Range Rovers.

The motorcade is believed headed for Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills for a private ceremony where the body of Michael Jackson is rumoured to be laid to rest.

A freeway has been shut down amid Los Angeles' morning rush hour for the motorcade.

Los Angeles was the epicenter of Jackson-mania, but the outpouring of emotion was worldwide.

All around the world, countries are showing the event "live"..

Belgium's two national public broadcasters were to broadcast the memorial live later Tuesday and several hundred Jackson fans gathered at a Hong Kong mall late Tuesday.

Fans in Asia planned to stay up into the wee hours, bars across Europe were holding Michael Jackson theme nights and television stations from Sydney to Paris were clearing their schedules Tuesday to broadcast the King of Pop's star-studded memorial service live from Los Angeles.

In London, some fans planned to watch the event on a big screen outside the 02 Arena, where Jackson was to have performed 50 comeback shows starting next week. Others said they would watch at home after the BBC announced it would cancel scheduled programming and show the ceremony live.

Fans were gathering at Berlin's O2 World arena and at a restaurant just off Paris' Champs-Elysees, where screens were being erected and Parisians were invited to bring their own music to ensure a steady Jackson-only soundtrack for the event.

In Sweden, fans were planning candlelit gatherings in central squares in the three biggest cities: Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo. A sports bar in Oslo, Norway was hoping to put together a special Jackson-themed menu to accompany its celebration.

Several Australian TV stations also planned to carry the event live, and the memorial was being broadcast on a giant screen in the southern city of Melbourne at 3 a.m. local time.

In Hong Kong, a suburban mall planned to tune its TV screens to the event at 1 a.m. as part of a celebration featuring performances of Jackson's signature "moonwalk" and a nonstop broadcast of his videos.

In Japan, home to some of Jackson's most passionate fans, about 100 people gathered at a Tower Records store in downtown Tokyo to watch his videos on a big screen hours before the Los Angeles memorial. The store, which Jackson visited twice, displayed his hand print in a cement block and large posters celebrating his performances. Several shelves dedicated to the pop star were stacked with his CDs and DVDs.

In the Philippines, the country's longest running noontime television variety show, "Eat Bulaga," said it would hold a Jackson dance contest Wednesday in honor of the pop icon after the Los Angeles memorial.

Even in reclusive, military-controlled Myanmar, a dance group held a memorial service for Jackson and nearly 200 fans staged a candlelight vigil in a Yangon park last week, the local Weekly Eleven News journal reported.

It has become a global event!

Jackson's fans from all over the world are definitely not going to miss this global event..

Me included..

I'm one of them who's gonna stay up to watch the "live" telecast showing on Singapore Television, Mediacorp Channel 5 at 1.30am later!!!

How I wish I was 1 of the lucky 11,000 who were selected to have the free tickets to access into the Staples Center, Los Angeles to attend Michael Jackson's memorial service..
