Today is Michael Jackson's 51th birthday if he were still alive. My dad used to play his songs when i was young..when i was 4 or 5..back then when TV3's Muzik Muzik played chinese, english and malay songs. My dad recorded Billy Jean,Beat it, We are the World with the VCR and played them with loud speakers..:P
My favourite MJ's song is Billy Jean. Although at that time, i didnt know what's the lyrics about..i just hum to the rhythm..and i love the ryhthm..the drum beats..
If it wasnt for his untimely death, i think i wouldnt know what this song is about. 'Billy Jean , not my lover' is about a female fan who claimed that he has fathered her child.
His music transcends the language and cultural differences barrier. It doesnt matter you are black or white or asian, it's all bout dancing, humming and feeling good.
Michael Jackson, truly one of a kind.
Here's a 1983 video when he first introduced his moon walk to the world.
*Notice the glove on his left hand, which was hastily made from a golf glove decorated with rhinestone for this performance.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
I got two wisdom teeth removed last saturday.
When i got to the dental clinic(Chais Dental Clinic) in Jalan Bangkung, the front desk lady gave me several pills to take...4 painkillers, 1 oral sedation pill (to make u drowsy but still conscious) and 3 other pills which i just swallowed without thinking much.
I took an xray last year at Kok Dental Clinic at pudu but decided not to have my extraction there coz the clinic doesnt look appealing to me. It felt like a government hospital, everyone is in the same room with different dentists doing their jobs with just a small partition..no privacy watsoever.
So, after about half an hour or so...i kinda lost track of time. I went to the room and was greeted by a young doctor - Dr Raymond Chai...surprisingly young and pleasant looking. I thot my dentist was going to be someone middle aged and very experienced.
He told me that i would have to remove both upper and lower wisdom teeth. So i said okie..no worries..hahaha.
He was a very polite gentleman. Each time he asked me to open my mouth bigger, he would say please and thank you. Each time, without fail!
First, he checked my teeth..then he started to inject the local anesthesia into the gums...it was painless..he injected bout 4- 5 times to numb the upper and lower site..i just close my eyes.. Soon after, my right jaw and tongue started to feel numb. I realized now the importance of tongue..hahaha..i cant spit out the bitter taste of the anaestasia due to my numbed tongue.
The suction tube was inserted to drain the excess blood. I could hear the sound of drilling and cutting..but i didnt feel any pain except that when the suction tube hit on my lower and upper lips.
I think the surgery lasted more than an hour coz my jaw was opened for that long. That was the only pain i felt.
He did some stitching and then gave me a gauze to bite on to stop the bleeding.
After the extraction, i was asked to do another xray. i asked the nurse, has the upper wisdom tooth been removed?She said yes..wow,thank god coz my jaw hurt from opening too long..
The front desk lady, i supposed is the boss, showed me the video on the after care of wisdom tooth removal and gave me some painkillers,antibiotics, swelling reducing pills, and diazepam for better sleep. They even gave me ice pack to put on my face.
Overall, the surgery went well and i didnt have to eat anything for dinner coz i had something before the surgery.
After the anaesthetic started to wear off, i felt the jaw pretty swollen and blood still coming out.
I was too tired..i went to sleep after i got home and it was indeed a good sleep..
I was given 2 days mc too..hahaha.
Total Damage : RM1400

yawn
Yawning is highly contagious. As i m writing this, i have yawned a couple of times.
Yawn! If you read this boring but proven to be a true statement, you may yawn..coz it happens to me every time. When you see someone yawn, more likely than not that you will yawn too. I dont know why but it has been happening to me since young and i cant control it..yawning is insurpressable! Highly contagious...
Are you yawning now? If not, then probably i fail to make u yawn..hahaha...
Happy Yawning!

Happy New Year 2009!!
I wish everyone a very happy,properous and memorable new year!!
Well,I think I made a pretty absurd resolution last year which I have no intention of fulfilling -to reach office by 930am..hahah..Punctuality is not my forte. Not that i dislike my job. I do like going to work but the career path just isn't there. I can't see where i am 3-5 years down the road if i continue to stay at this company. But then again it's my comfort zone. Sorta like a double edged sword.
Stay -> u become lazy, u stop growing.

Dont stay -> prepare for challenges and uncertainties.
I admired my boss for her passion in her job. She never complains and it gives her that satisfaction. When you have passion for the thing you do, it gives you the motivation to do better.
Anyway, the resolution thingey for year 2009 :
1. Change to a better job
- that means updating my resume and applying jobs.
2. Embrace a new hobby
- this time probably mahjong..hahah it's so interesting but i haven't quite mastered it..got kaki?
3. Be happy
- this is the simplest thing yet tend to forget sometimes.
4. Watch fireworks
- I missed the fireworks last year but i promise myself that i wont miss it this year end!!i forget how much i love to see fireworks until i heard the thumping sound of fireworks..
6. Backpacking to New Zealand
- It gotta be this year!!hahah..so excited and with the low current exchange rate, it seems even more attractive to go there..
7. Hitting the Gym
- at least twice a month!Yes!Sweat it all out. There are some pple who are surprised as to why i go to gym since im so 'fit'(thin is what they mean..hahah) but exercise do make me happy..releasing endorphins- the euphoria hormone..:)
8. Save money
- 30% of my pay will be pretty decent.
So what's your New Year's resolution for 2009?
I hope everyone has a wonderful Year with alot of Abundance.
