Michael Jackson dies at the age of 50



Michael Jackson dies at the age of 50. The King of Pop, who was scheduled to do his last performance this coming July, dies from cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at 2.26pm, Thursday, Los Angeles.

When I heard the news, I was out participating a bowling competition, and the bowling alley played MJ songs all night. No doubt he was a great entertainer. His moves will always be a classic and will be copied by many. His songs were great and will be remixed, reedited, etc by other music artist.

The most memorable music video of him to me was from the song 'Beat It'. I remember watching that for the first time, and I so loved the choreography and the bad boy image in the video. It was so cool and I tried copying his moves when I watched it then. He still had his original skin color tone then, the wavy curly like hair and he was really good looking. And the trademark red jacket he wore, I don't think you can find much of those kind of jackets nowadays.

Whatever those anti-MJs may say. I say Beat It! He is no doubt the King of Pop. He grew up a different life than ours and he did try his best to help others. I do not think he is a child molester, and I seriously think it is just some people using an opportunity to take advantage of him.

It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It



Ebony Magazine:

"25th anniversary of Thriller album, has revealed his days of dancing are behind him - because he doesn't want to kill himself on stage like his hero, soul singer James Brown, who died On December 25th 2006 from congestive heart failure. When asked if he thinks he'll grow old in the music industry, Michael, 49, explained: "Not the way James Brown did or Jackie Wilson did. "They just kept going, running, killing themselves. "I wish he (James Brown) could have slowed down and relaxed and enjoyed his hard work.

Pencilled in for release in 2008, Jackson unveiled the plans for the album during a rare interview with Ebony Magazine. Despite admitting that he was working on new material, Jackson said that he has no plans to extend his career into old age, like other artists. "Not the way James Brown or Jackie Wilson did, where they just killed themselves," Jackson admitted. "I wish James Brown could have slowed down and been more relaxed and enjoyed his hard work."

Every neighbourhood has the guy who you don't see, so you gossip about him," Jackson told Ebony magazine. Jackson, 49, also revealed he doesn't plan to keep performing for the rest of his life. "Not the way James Brown or Jackie Wilson did, where they just killed themselves. I wish James Brown could have slowed down and been more relaxed and enjoyed his hard work."

Submitting your MC does not make you weak

If you are sick, see a doctor. If you got an MC, just submit it. Whether it was because you had sprains, headaches, breathing difficulty or even a toothache, just submit your MC.

Click here to read more about NSman who died recently.


Sad to hear another of our Singaporean sons died serving his NS. No one really knows why he didn't submit his MC, probably he felt he was ok, or he didn't want to be perceived as weak. It happens in the NS. When I had bowel problems during my days in BMT and was given MC, one of the Sargents there was being bloody sarcastic. "Oh, small stomach problem also got light duty eh? Then might as well don't serve la, stay home with your mummy", Needless to say I was pissed at him, if I had a gun I would have shot him..... well not literally, the idea just went pass through my head at tat moment.

Yes, NS life can really mess with your head sometimes. And some ppl can't take, and depending on the individual, they all have different ways of handling it. Some laugh it off, some become vengeful, some become suicidal,.... Let's face it, it is a whole new world in NS. And if you are like me, who has lived on that tiny island which seems to be a degree hotter than Singapore, you know what I am talking about.

The heat, the screaming, the endless push ups, the 'wayangs', ok well, it is all not that bad. The food was good, the bunk mates were great, the view was fantastic, the air was fresh.... except for that occasional stench when the tide goes down.

For those of you guys out there preparing to go for NS. My advice is to precondition yourself. Not just in body but also in mind. Involve yourself in outdoor activities that require you to be away from home for a period of time. You'll learn to be more independent and prepared.

And if you are sick or unwell. Just see a doctor and if it requires you to rest, you better rest! You may feel fine, but disregarding a doctor's advice is just playing a gamble with your life.

48 million views later and it is still funny!



I remember posting this video some time late last year. YouTube just made this guy a lot more famous now. Over 48 million views later and people are still commenting on his comedy act.

Who would have thought hearing someone say "I Kill You!" would break us into laughter. Reminds me of the time when Russell Peters used the words "Be A Man!" in his act.
