Death of A King and An Angel

Posted in Anything, Music and Songs at 7:51 am by acidict

I found out about the death of Michael Jackson through the radio this morning on my way to work. I was shocked as he was supposed to give a final concert next month in London. While looking for the news, I also found out that Farrah Fawcett of the original Charlie’s Angels fame(the series not the movie) has passed away earlier on the same day.
I grew up on Michael Jackson music. He was at his peak during that time (the 80s). Too bad he was hit by so many controversies during the final years of his life. Regardless what a lot of people have to say about him, he’s a great musician and performer. His moonwalk has been forever immoratlised by his fans and impersonators.
I’ve watched a lot of Charlie’s Angels when I was in UK. Eventhough I am not that big of a fan but its sad to hear about someone’s departure from the living world.
R.I.P. you two.

Today I lost my Grandma

Posted in Anything, Life at 9:36 am by acidict

I last saw her last Friday and today she’s no more. I will surely miss her. But at least she don’t have to suffer anymore. Its sad to see her in the condition she was in. I could barely recognise her and I could see that she was having difficulty breathing. Every breath was like a struggle to her. Now her struggle is over.
There’s so many things that I would like to talk about her right now but then again I think I’ll save that for til later.

Twittering

Posted in Anything at 3:46 pm by acidict

Twittering is cool. I wasn’t really interested in its when it first came out as there were not much people that I know that uses it. So, all I did was to just to register for an account and that’s just it.

Of late, I don’t know what wind blew so hard that I can see more and more people twittering. It seems to be the in thing to do right now. I mean all the stars have it and so their fans have it to follow them around and then friends add friends and ask more friends to join in and kabooooooooom .. you see twitter here and there.

I get to follow interesting people who shares their daily routines or whatever that they do or think. I’d like to believe that its a shorter form of blogging - minus the formality of writing a nicely formatted grandmother story of my life post.
Twitter is good for other reasons as well. People use it to chat with each other through twitter. Events/functions/Lost pet/Announcements are also made on twitter so this is another way for people to get messages across. Lost dogs gets to find new owners.Traffic jams gets reported by frustrated twitterers via their phones. Even TTs gets announced there too. In fact, I’m blogging now because I saw ST complaining that itsucks to read blog that is not updated often, kinda reminded me of my blog :P

You see twitter everywhere you surf too. This new ‘addiction’ is so popular now, I’m pretty sure some smart alec is gonna come up with similar idea like twitter (i bet it already happened - can’t be bothered to go search) to compete with it. So what are you waiting for ?? LETS TWIT!! Follow me @ http://twitter.com/acidict

Vasakhi Fest 2009 - Penang

Posted in Anything, Photography at 10:47 am by acidict

I went for shoot shoot at this event recently held at Fort Cornwallis, Penang. It was quite interesting as this is the first time that i’m attending a Sikh festival. There are displays of the history of Sikh community in Penang, food demonstrations, cultural show and also everyone were treated to free Sikh cookings and drinks.

Vasakhi Day is a special day for Sikhs because on this day in 1699, the tenth and the last Sikh Guru incarnate, Gobind Singh Sahib initiated contemporary Sikh baptismal ceremony. This historical day marks the metamorphosis of the Sikhism into Khalsa Panth (Noble Nation) and re-definition of its role in the multi socio-religious and cultural society of India.(source )

These are some of the shots of the people who attended the festival taken using my new toy :D
