Went and watched MJ's "This Is It" yesterday. I couldn't wait any longer!! I just HAD TO see him!!

The movie didn't disappoint. In the beginning when i saw him...i dunno what i was feeling. Sadness? Wonder? Dread? I dunno. But i knew i went really quiet at the beginnning...but as the movie rolls on and the familiar songs came on, i slowly drowned myself in the movie.


Boy, if he had lived and performed these concerts, it'll be the BEST concert ever. Musically and stage-wise.


The effort and hard work put into the concerts by everyone, especially Michael himself, is highly regarded. I admired the professionalism everyone showed. What's most important is i got to see how a genius works. The way Michael involved himself in everything, i really have respect for his work ethic. His perfectionist nature(a Virgo!! =D ) is partly why everything in the concert looks so amazing.

Another bright new star is of course one Ms. Orianthi Panagasis, who is an AMAZING female guitarist. I swear she won my heart already just by holding the guitar. O.o  Hell man i wanna play like that!

I remember asking Dad if 'that blonde girl in "This Is It"' is the same guitarist as the one in MJ's concerts years ago(he had a blonde guitarist too, and her hair i shall never forget xD  Her name is Jennifer if i'm not mistaken) My dad said yes...but after i found out that she actually isn't, i began to read on why MJ hired Orianthi to be his guitarist. One must be quite good if able to pass Michael's test...

And she IS good.  xD

Another thing i came to understand from the movie is the 'hand-shake' movement MJ seems to always do in his concerts(yes i do watch his concerts lmao)...i always wondered why he did that. I knew there must be a reason(everything he does, from dancing to singing, is his way of expressing SOMETHING. When he sings or dances he feels it and expresses it out. Watch the movie and u'll understand.) why he did that...but i couldnt guess until i saw the movie. The moment i realised it i felt like smacking my head!

For a 50year old guy who has health problems(weak lungs among others) he sure can dance and keep up to his dancers half his age. AMAZING. Another thing is, when he sang, he sounded JUST LIKE how he sounds on official releases of his songs. For a guy whose voice is distinctly different to how it sounded 20 years ago, he really is amazing for managing to 'nail it'. This just shows what a gifted vocalist he is.

New clips to accompany his songs on stage are absolutely *stunning*. "Thriller" and "Earth Song" are top-notch. Wonderful. Marvellous. Its really such a shame it all didn't and won't happen! =(

All the while i was thinking, "he looked SO THIN...." I wonder if the last ever rehearsal was in the movie, i mean just the last one before he died..sighs. Whatever it is, MJ is the world's BEST EVER PERFORMER & ENTERTAINER. Ever. No one can beat him nor replace him.

"This Is It" is also the first ever movie that i sat till the credits rolled out fully. Not that i never wanted to stay behind, but usually the credits either got cut out really early by the workers or my friends wanted to leave or everyone left and the workers are staring at me silently asking me to leave =.=""  But this is the first time i stayed till it fully ended, praises to MBO. Nice.


I'm DEFINITELY buying the DVD when it's released next year. Even if it'll cost me an arm and a leg. It's WORTH it. "This Is It" is simply AMAZING.


Trivia : MJ is the one who first invented the 'robot' dance. Cool eh? Genius.

Yeah and another month to the end of 2009. WHOA!! Time flies.... xD

Semester gonna end soon...but i have a test on early December...sighs...can't really holiday early. But i can't wait  for this sem to be over seriously!!

I wanna look for new place to stay. I am going to be evicted xP  Does anyone know where got room to rent? I have a few suggestions already...but still, keeping my eyes out for more. If u know sumwhere just suggest to me ya! Anywhere the area near campus is fine. Easier that way...THANKS IN ADVANCE. xD

Hmm assignments still alot..but soon gonna be finished. Rushed my 2D for 3 days now left with the sound department. LOL. ZOmbie mode these days. Supa unhealthy...sighs.

Ohh ya the typography exhibition is up!! I helped out a bit in the exhibition, nothing much, but it was a GREAT experience....i really enjoyed that.

Hmm..what else ah?? Sighs. I need inspiration and motivation. Gambatte~~

As you can see, I've changed the skin/theme for my blog.

If u came to my page like, everyday(LOL!), u'd notice i change my skin quite a few times using the default templates. But i wanna try different skins...so i looked for some and found a few...

This current layout i edited abit of the HTML code, nothing drastic, just some deletion and tweaking. It still has problems though; i wanted my header to read "Dork Ducca's Corner" but if i did the 'Corner' will be moved down instead. And that doesnt look good at all.

So i spent all my time looking at the HTML trying to find where to tweak it. I can't find it. So i proceeded to change the font. Looked and previewed so many fonts, yet none can give me "Dork Ducca's Corner." So i suppose i should use "Dork's Corner" only then...

Something new: U can now go directly to my Facebook and Twitter page by clicking on the icons at the top right of my blog. For Facebook though *only* logged-in users and friends in my list can see my profile. I'm sorry but privacy is important to me and i don't want strangers snooping around my profile page. =.=""  However, my Twitter is very public, just set it up recently...

I'm still unsure whether to use the font Necropol or Berlin MD. Necropol looks better...sighh..

OK suddenly i thought of changing the name again, from "Dork's Corner" to "Dork Domain". HAHAHA!!! Why 'Dork' u ask. Well, cos i'm one. LOL. Simple as that. xDD

Anyway, i should go back to my assignments liao. Did nothing productive the whole day. Feel so useless. Ciao~

On 20/10/09 we came, we saw and we conquered. The 7th, 8th and 9th floor of G Building. LOL.

Ok obviously the previous blog i saved it as a draft..that's why the date was 10th when i only posted now on 18th...LOL...

"The night is cool; the morning bright and sunny; the afternoon dark and stormy." Ducca, '09




That's how the weather is like these few days. This afternoon another wave of heavy rain and thunder came, only much worse. The rain was SO heavy, the wind SO strong, that i had all my room windows closed and there is this "wuu~wuu~" sound that appeared due to the wind. The cones on the road all fell; the trees(even the tall ones) swayed from left to right, and the intensity of everything is so strong that i couldnt see Spring and even G building clearly...






Anyway, today is VERY RANDOM, just like the weather.






Forced myself out of bed around 10am and got myself ready for basketball practice. While waiting for time to pass i continued reading my "Blabbermouth" comic until i got to page 88. LOL. Practice was okay, but alot were absent and in the end only 4 of us are playing. Played 2 2-on-2 match. Was out of breath and tired after each one, even though my team won. LOL. I really need to work on my stamina...


Still haven't choose teams officially for the tounament tho...hmm. Oh well. I'm looking forward to the next session already... =)


And then, of all ppl in my class, Kim was the first one to watch me play basketball. This i least expected. LOL. But it was good..shows how unpredictable life can be. You are the first, gal!! =) She was in campus to see lecturer and asked where i was. In the end i went lunch with her. Ate chicken rice from one of the new stalls in open air. Had an easygoing conversation with her before we parted ways.



******************************************************************************


I finished reading "Blabbermouth" and went to see lecturer for my assignment. After i finished i debated whether to go alone to Spring or not, as i bumped into Jacky in the open lab(another random moment) and he has class till 7.30pm...then cun cun that time Sharon text me if wanna go Spring. However plans kinda changed cos she felt wanna eat Hartz, so in the end me, Jacky, Sharon and Kathleen went to Hartz for dinner.


It was my first time there. Ever.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Did i mention before how much i love stuff that has anything to do with potato? Potato chips..baked potatoes..mashed potatoes....LOVE 'EM. And Hartz has GREAT whipped tomato. I love it very much...here's what we ate...

In Hartz, u pay rm18 for a buffet, and eat all u like(but u must finish what u ordered!)...i was SO FULL until i can't walk properly...and kinda worried i'll vomit due to overstuffing myself. But i felt better in the end while we walked around the S'wak Plaza & Waterfront perimeter. I always had a good time walking thru the city at nighttime. Made me emo abit. But dun worry, its GOOD emo. LOL. The night is cool and i took alot of pics...wanna apologise for taking pics here and there and they had to wait up for me >.<
