Michael Jackson

Less than a month from his comeback, the King of Pop shockingly died of cardiac arrest on Thursday 25 June 2009 (Friday morning, Australian time). When I woke up to the "breaking news" on the TV, I thought it must have been another rumour cooked up by the tabloids. However, that sad news was confirmed before 8am AEST. His albums are all sold out by the time I got off work and were looking for them in a few stores.

I shed some tears from reading the news, articles and those tributes shown on TV. The memories of us performing his song "Heal the World" in a dinner after a competition, doing the Moonwalk (or attempting it back then), watching some of his music videos on a bus and singing some of his hits out of tune seems not too long ago! It's just that I was so looking forward to his comeback performance, new songs and the rumoured new dance move.

Invinsible was MJ's latest and least popular album that came out in 2001 with roughly about 10mil prior to his passing. I bought it when it first came out in 2001. By selling only 10mil copies, it's by far better than most artists' level but poor comparing to his standard.

The more popular he became, the more the public demand from him and the more privacy he lost. Michael Jackson is for sure very talented but also tormented in more ways than one.

I wish all the controversies died with Jacko but his legacy as the one and only King of Pop lives on forever.

Batsi & Peter

This is certainly one of the most interesting weddings that I have attended. I was intrigue by the cultures of both the Russian and Zimbabwean. There were 2 sets of traditional costumes by the newly-wed.

Truly a cultural night.......

Preview of Today's Winter Wedding

Here are some teasers for the wedding done today........I was trying out a wide-angle lens and let some creative juices in me run wild! It was a relaxing wedding

House-warming Pics

There were indeed plenty of leftovers. The food were of abundance and delicious but I was too pre-occupied. Thanks to all who made it, especially to the 2 youngest little girls, daughters of Mag & Eric.

I think I'm missing the interior shots of it after having the furniture arranged in my preferred locations. Rug was removed from the living during the night to avoid stains. I will certainly get to it this weekend after having some crazily hectic days/weeks.

Shots from a wedding and a corporate event in May too have been completed and I will definitely post them up here too.

While I'm at it, these are a couple of shots from my block.
