I'm too busy being bored instead of studying for mock

As the title reads... yes I am too lazy to care about my future.... *gasp* dear God I've really got to hit the books. But for now, well..... maybe a little bit of venting and rambling on my blog will help curb my boredom.

I think I'll update on what I've been up to recently. Yesh that sounds good, since it's been ages since my last update. Well I'll just start with the next post....

Gone is the King of Pop

All bow your heads in the remembrance of the King of Pop. May you rest in peace Michael Jackson. Your songs will be remembered for years and years to come.


Michael Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Los Angeles. Jackson's personal physician attempted to resuscitate him. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a 911 call and arrived 9 minutes later. Jackson was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed. Jackson remained in a coma and died shortly after arrival at the UCLA Medical Centre. Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2:26 pm local time and the cause of death is currently believed to be cardiac arrest.

Jackson's death caused an outpouring grief among fans not seen since the death of Elvis Presley and John Lennon two other legends that have gone before him. Fans created a shrine at the old Motown headquarters now the Motown Museum, outside Hitsville U.S.A in Detroit.

A little tidbit about our dear King of Pop:

Michael Joseph Jackson, born August 29, 1958 and is the seventh child of the Jackson family. He debuted in the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of the Jackson 5. He's well known for his ever changing features from year to year and unbeatable dance moves. He popularized the dance moves that we call the moonwalk and the robot.

His songs like "Beat it", "Pretty young thing", "ABC (with the Jackson 5)", "Billie Jean", "Black or white" and "Smooth Criminal". His work and distinctive style has influenced many singers to date. He has 3 children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. (also known as "Prince"), a daughter, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II (also known as Blanket). He is the ultimate performer and the world might not see anything like him ever. His legacy shall live on.

The view from my Aunt's hotel room. Grand Margherita Hotel, view of the river from the window. In my opinion Hilton has a better river view, hehehe I'm gonna go find that pic I took from Hilton and post it up someday.

Watermark/copyright

Omigosh!! I finally figured out how to create a watermark/copymark (whichever you call it) and put it on my pictures. Haha.. yes, I know kinda lame, since I bet tons of people already knew how to ages ago. Thanks to google and a very good friend of mine, lol I won't mention names but you know who you are "cough, cough". But still I am proud of myself for not giving up too soon, as for some reason I am IT challenged. I fail at making IT stuff work sometimes. So anyways here it is, my first watermark/copyright.

This picture was taken with my baby, the Canon 1000D. Note that I did not edit anything. The only thing that is not in the original picture is the "Josey" watermark. Apart from all that, everything is original. All my friends know I suck at major editing, lol. I don't do anything other than crop my pictures and the occasional brightening. Ok more about the picture, it was taken at my Aunt's house in kampung Singgai Daun. I splashed some water on the flower to make it look cool. Honestly I never know what I'm doing when I'm taking a picture. What happens just happens. I can't even remember what I did to get that blurred effect in the background. I am 80% sure that it was sheer luck though. Haha, I don't know... don't ask :P

If you're reading this, whoever you are, lol. Would you mind leaving me a comment about this pic? Tips, if any, would be awesome and really really appreciated. Thanks a million in advance :P

Galaxie, oh dear Galaxie

Ok, as all of you know... Galaxie is back in the market after 2 months, and sporting a new look. I have nothing against them changing the look of the mag, but honestly I'm really not happy with the change. Here's why

1. They decreased the size of the mag.
Now why on earth would they do that? seriously their size before was just perfect. It made the mag stand out among all other mags. Now sadly they've changed to the normal boring A4 size; might even be slightly smaller than A4 for all I know. Saddening

2. The posters for the coming out issue ain't that great.
The posters featured in the new issue is not only smaller in size its also not that nice. Have you seen the posters featured before? Well, they were awesome, not so much in this issue though.

3. This isn't so important but, CHRIS BROWN is on the cover!!!
I mean excuse me! Hello.... anyone got a memo that he's a women beater?? Ok I admit that i know nothing about running a mag, but seriously.... I thought that only people you admire and respect should grace the cover of magazines. For crying out loud why is Chris Brown on the cover? if you want to make the theme CB and Rihanna then put Rihanna on the cover instead of CB. Instead CB is gracing the cover and Rihanna is a mere speck in the bottom right corner.

4. Where did the lyrics section go to??
Ok what happened to my favourite part of this mag? I used to look forward to the lyrics section in this mag all the time. I'm very disappointed to see that its not there anymore. I hope that this is only a major glitch and that the lyrics section will be back. Honestly why kill one of the best parts of the mag?

5. The increase in price.
Whoa I got ready the usual RM 4.50 to buy the new issue. When I saw it in the newsstands I grabbed it straight away, noting the size difference though. When I was gonna pay the guy looked at me and said "RM 7.00 dah naik harga dah" I was like wuuuutttt.... Whoa it went up a startling RM2.50. Seriously what happened to it being the cheapest and best magazine in the whole of Malaysia. Ok maybe they need to cover up for the whole changing their look thing, but seriously RM7.00 has it ever occurred to them that most students and adults alike love them because they're cheaper and way better than other mags. I'm one of those people but now I'm thinking twice.

That's all I can think of right now. The whole change is quite a disappointment. Saddening enough to make me hope and pray that they make slight minor changes to their whole "new look" GALAXIE what on earth have you become?

xoxo, babyJ

What has the world come to??

Jeez, seriously what has the world come to? Well for me, I have only one word to describe it...INSANITY!!!! I mean come on.... natural disasters, bombings, killings, AB-users (abusers), too much family planning (eh referring to that octo-mom. What is goin on???



Ok firstly, the bombings. Ok... for all those who know me well, you know that I really do not enjoy reading the newspaper. Why? ok that I do not know... well, I just don't nuff said. So I'm saying firstly, sorry for any mistakes that I might make and that I'm not blaming anyone, judging anyone, nor do I take credit for anything I say....what I'm saying is mainly for entertainment (mine) purposes only.



Well... there's a club notice board in school that has pictures of the victims of the recent tradegy in erm... India? Or was it Sri Lanka? Okay... so I do not know the facts, kick me. What I do know is... why would someone or anyone for that matter do something like that? The kids burried from neck to toe when they're still alive, men and women killed brutally, the scars, blood, cuts, bruises. Oh the horror when I paused for a second to look at all the pictures. I couldn't even bring myself to read the captions. Call me emo or whatever you want, but I felt sad and questions kept going through my head. Why them? Were they guilty of anything? Did it hurt when...? Do they deserve this? Does anyone deserve this? Shouldn't I be grateful it wasn't me or my family and friends? All these questions.... the cruel world, Is this the new generation? Do I want to live in this kind of generation?



Recently, I heard that there was a tsunami in Indonesia. I was like omg, seriously? That's so near to us and I didn't even know about it till someone told me. That's when I thought, okay... now I really got to take interest and read the papers more. I wonder how bad it was. Hmmm... Besides that, the bushfires in Australia and the snowing in London. Gosh London had the worst snow in years. My uncle's car got snowed in and that's like crazy.



The one news, that I do know about is the one about Rihanna. OMG, who would've guessed. Rihanna abused by Chris Brown thats like Malaysia snowing... Oh so we thought. I was really shocked when I heard bout what happened to Rihanna. I'm on her side no matter what. Thats cause, no matter what she did thats wrong or whatever,a guy should never hit a girl. That's like the golden rule of a relationship. I mean have u seen her pics after the brutal beating he gave her. I'd like to post it on here, but I dunno if I'm allowed to, legally I mean. Yeah take a look at the pics and you'll be like what the heck? Her beautiful face ain't that beautiful no more.

On a lighter note, there's an awesomely hilarious video by nigahiga on youtube. Seriously if you like comedy you really gotta check out nigahiga, Decimal brothers and Venetian princess on youtube. They are hilariously awesome. Back to the point, the video is suposedly on the real reason why Chris and Rihanna fought but really it isn't, it's just a funny video.

I'm all against women beating and violence of any kind. People, guns and beatings are never a solution to anything. They only cause more harm and nothing good comes out of it.

Doulos Mural Day

Mhmm... another late post. I'm ashamed but this is so far the only free time that I have. So here goes....

On the 11 of December 2008, Farrah, Sabrina, Bethany, Daniella and I joined the mural painting competition at Pending, Kuching, Sarawak.The murals we painted were supposedly meant to be a welcoming thing for Doulos but we weren't allowed to be there before the ship arrived. Something about letting teenagers with tins of paint on the loose. Therefore the competition was held on the opening day.

Lining up for registration

GBA stands for "Good Books for All"

I know this is weird, but I never knew Doulos was a Christian ship. Since I was a kid I always thought that Doulos was this big ship with loads of cool books on board. Little did I know..... I was amazed to learn that Doulos actually means "Servant" in Greek. It is also known as the floating UN. They're even young children on board and they go to school on the ship, I mean... how cool is that? They get to travel all round the world. Doulos's purpose, "BRINGING KNOWLEDGE, HELP AND HOPE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD". Their core values are, loving God, Esteeming people, working as a team, serving with excellence. You see, living onboard isn't just all fun and games and travelling, you have to work too. I actually am very touched by what those on board are doing. They devoted themselves and volunteered to help people in need all around the world. I wish I had the guts to leave everything behind and live for the greater good by helping others, but sadly I don't. It shames me to say this, but I love material stuff. I wouldn't last a week without a fan, my mp3 and a television with astro. Therefore I respect and admire those onboard the Doulos. For more information on Doulos check out their website at
http://www.mvdoulos.org

Well, my whole group thought that we were going to be painting on the ship. I thought that would be impossible but then again anything can happen. So we made our way onboard and went in search of the registration area. When we didn't find it we figured that the registration would be back on the port. So we went back down the steps. Whoah don't get me started on those steps, 10 times or more a day and I'd be slim in no time, hahaha.... no seriously they're killer steps. We found the registration area and since they were still packing the goody bags they told us to walk around first. So Beth, Dani and I headed for the shade. Thats when I noticed that the white painted plywood boards along the entrance was our canvas, 2 boards for each team.

Our "canvas" of white behind us

We, thinking that the theme was culture (due to bad judgement) had already planned what to do and thinking they were going to ask questions, hid most of the meanings in the mural to save us drawing it all out and saves time. For example, the colour trails to the hand represents all the cultures in Malaysia coming together as one nation. We got the shock of our lives when we saw everyone else drawing boats and waves and even Digi people (what the.... yeah Digi, Malaysia's mobile phone coverage) We went along with the original plan anyway, because it was too late to change and we did not join to win but to enjoy ourselves (although if we did win that would've been great) So Beth and Dani went ahead and drew the guy in the mural, whom Beth decided to call Bujang in the end, and Farrah and Sabrina went along and drew their cool looking tribal art. Farrah did the bottom and Sabrina did the right. I on the other hand, sharpened a pencil, then thinking that it was a total waste of time, went digging into bags and handed all of them mechanical pencils and lead, got ready some paint and started painting the background. So I merely painted the mural and did not draw anything. The whole mural turned out well though and I'm very proud of it. It was kinda the coolest day ever.

just after we finished painting

Oh Bujang, we're so proud of you

Us posing next to Bujang

Hopefully this isn't the end of the organisation but just the end of the ship. Doulos is retiring in 2010 and I hope that there will be another vessel that will carry on the good work of Doulos.

STS's Photography Club's 1st Annual Dinner.

Sorry for this is quite a late post. The dinner was ages ago, but I've only got the time now to blog about it. Ahaha the stress I remember like it was yesterday. Yikes, my hair came out in clumps everyday (i'm not joking).

The whole dinner went quite well. It didn't crash and burn (thank God) it wasn't that great either but that's ok. I am really blessed to have friends that stuck with me and Efa through thick and thin. With friends like these (Dani, Tilly, Fatin, Afiqah, Audi) we managed to pull through and made it a fun night.

Fatin, her cousin and friend jumping when the dinner ended

Apart for the wedding next door being so rowdy, with their yamseng. Shessh seriously, halfway through Mdm. Mary John's speech they started with the yamseng. It was quite funny though, because they were so loud and MJ looked shocked for a while. We can't help but laugh. Besides that, the 'Photographer of the night' contest kept the teachers and us entertained. Here's some of the contestants:

Neways, The dinner went splendidly and I'm really grateful to everyone who helped make it awesome. True friends is the best gift anyone can ask for.

Fatin, me, Tarina and Dani
