I’m a person that will pay tickets to cinema for movies that i think well-worth. That usually occurs with big production or cool stunts such as, Matrix, the LOTR, transformers, …etc. Otherwise i rather download or wait for someone to have them and grab from them.
Somehow i know the movie: This is it, is not something i mentioned above, but as i’m curious of what Michael is like at backstage and of course i’m a big fan of his songs and dance and still will be, i just went to watch last night.
Surprisingly, there were quite some people in the same theater room. Normally, not many people would go for a movie in Adelaide as the tickets are considerably expensive if without any discount. This mean there are quite a lot of MJ fans who are same as me, willing to pay a ticket just to watch MJ.
It turned out that i like the movie quite a lot. Shed some tears twice, haha. Although it looks a bit like documentary style or the making of a movie, but it is through this movie, that i’ve seen MJ more closely, his character, his attitude, the person behind screen. In this movie, i really found out that MJ is such a music talented person, he knows all his songs so well, the keys, he arrange the songs the way he wish audience would like to hear, change the song plays, he direct the stage and the dance. Also, you’ll found that MJ has a kind side in which he always thank people, bless people, appreciate what people have done. One can see that he really worked hard for the concert, train and train, try n try again. He has hopes for the world, for planet earth, telling of the dangers of Global Warming and the lack of reversible time left.
MJ's concepts are often jaw-droppingly impressive. Even by just watching the snippets of the concert intended to be, i can imagine how grand and massive the concert will be. In the concert,
Thriller was to involve a 3-D sequence, with all the different mummies which looks really awesome, effects footage for
Smooth Criminal blends Jackson into film noir classics opposite Humphrey Bogart and Rita Hayworth showing MJ escaping again and his slow version of
The Way You Make Me Feel looks like a super-sized tribute to Old Hollywood musicals. I REALLY LOVE this jazzy version of
The way you make me feel. Unfortunately it was not in the accompanying album of this is it.
There’s also a new video sequence for
Earth song, featuring a small girl who wanders through an abundant forest, falls asleep, and wakes up to find the forest destroyed by man. The progressively lost of Amazon forest caused him to write this beautiful song.
Shed tears as i knew it was regrettable that i won’t have any more chance in my life to see this person, king of pop live in concert anymore. haha.
The movie is not GREAT as in movies you would have seen for all the other action-thriller movies, but i think it’s really well-worth and you get to listen to those all time favourite MJ songs and watch all the cool dance again!!!If you are a MJ fan, i'm sure this movie will entertain and amaze you!!!!
He will always be the KING OF POP!!! no doubt!!!

I’m beginning to like FOOTBALL!!! (i shud said football here is NOT soccer)
All due to this awesome opportunity offered by Greg (my supervisor) to watch the CROWS (one of the Adelaide team) vs Hawthorn (from Victoria) when the game was held in Adelaide :). Prepared myself, went to the game v Greg.
Football is one the major sport in Australia, same like tennis and cricket. Everyone is into them. Either they watch LIVE when they got the chance or at home LIVE. The tickets for the season are quick to be sold out. One can buy seasonal tickets for your favourite team which cost ~ 100-200$ or a bit more(cant remember exact) and you get to watch every match LIVE when they play home!!
The experience is AWESOME and FANSTATIC. Everyone (when i meant everyone, i meant kids, families, gals and guys!!) in the stadium just cheers and ROAR and HIGH when their favourite team score a direct goal (8points compared to side goal = 1 or 2 point). And all the “
#@#$$^%$%@!@#@$%#%*” vulgar sentences and complaints when their favourite team player got tackle and did not get the right justification or “BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” all the way or “wat is he doing??? Pass the ball!!! RUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! “, all the high and low emotional stimulation and adrenaline pumping was a good experience. You don’t felt like you are the only one shouting or cheering crazily, everyone is crazy here!!! haha. Some shout or cheer so loud as if they are screaming on top of their lungs directly into my ear!!!
As i mentioned earlier, football is a huge topic in Adelaide when the season start. You can bump into a stranger and talk bout football as if you knew him/her for ages!!! Ppl predict and bet who is going to win…etc. There’s a saying that : “Everyone in Adelaide got merrier the next day if the Adelaide team won the game against their rival”. It’s that influential to them!!!!
This is the team i watched, they played pretty well. And slowly i gained a bit of knowledge of how the game play and the Crows became the team i supported, haha. Here, young kids were already trained for football at an early age. So you’ll see when the game have a break, kids coming out into the field playing football which is kinda Cute, haha.
But football is SUCH A BRUTAL game, i just duno how those players got into it, hahha. One knock down to me, i think, i will masuk hospital with fractures here and there. Really dun understand how those boys would get themselves into such brutal game although it 's nice to watch, haha. But certainly not for play!!! Obviously not all are very well built, and energy is not the only winning factor , strategy, team effort, heights and speed are the other winning factors.
When the game ends, huge crowds just get off their bum. A huge traffic jam, luckily Greg parked his car at a spot that can easily hit the road back. ALl in all, an AMAZING experience!!!!
THX GREG!!!

“Gentle reminder: heaps of photos in this post :)”
The arrival of the fall between April and May has brought with it warm colours but chilly mornings and cold nights.
I must say one of my most awesome trip in Adelaide so far was in April – the season of Autumn :)
Autumn colours have always been very fascinating and vibrant, never thought that i would see them in Adelaide, all i can say is i felt like a part of my life fulfilled and dream came true :). This trip to the Adelaide hills – Mount Lofty botanic garden has been one my most anticipated trip because this garden has a collection of many different deciduous autumn foliaged trees and the colours of this garden changes with season. It was one of happiest day here although i went on this trip alone, the colours of autumn just brighten my day no matter what sorrows or hardships i face the day before. JUST FASCINATING!!!!
Have been wondering when would be the best time to visit Adelaide hills, when would the leaves turn its colours, and if yes, how long they last, will i be too late or too early. The trees in the city gave no sign of when is the best time of autumn as the trees planted here don’t change much. Even though, one species of maple tree is planted around the city, that species sadly do not change its leaves colour, all it does is turn brownish, dry and drop-off.
The best time to capture the colours of autumn is when the colours start appearing. The time frame between the best of the autumn colour and bare branches can be very short. A brief thunderstorm or burst of strong wind is all that separates a beautiful tree laden with autumn colour from being a pile of leaves on the ground. It's all too easy to wait too long for the perfect day that never comes and, along the way, miss out on some great shots.
I picked one of the weekend which is supposed to be somewhere in the mid of Autumn season, and prepared myself very early as i knew i need a whole day, i don’t want to be rushing and ended up taking shit/blur photos, haha. Once i reached the foothill of my destination, excitement filled me thoroughly. Bz enjoying the early morning and taking photos. Signs of colourful autumn can be seen at the foothill, just AMAZING!!! Couldn’t wait to get to Mt.Lofty botanic garden!!!!
Foggy roads uphill everywhere as Mt.Lofty botanic garden is located in the hills. The whole place looked empty, chill weather (i was there by 8sthg am) but peaceful. Enjoying the crisp fresh air :)
The whole garden was filled with mist everywhere, which make shots a bit harder due to the fog. But it was at the same time good as the sun is still pretty much asleep meaning i can good shots with soft lights without worrying bout irritating bright over-exposed sun light.
My 1st beautiful signs of russet and gold yellow fallen autumn leaves decorating the floor bed of the trails!!!!
As most of the deciduous plants are planted as patches on certain area or path, i have to walk a fair distance to get to that AMAZING trail. Words just can’t describe my feelings when i saw all these AMAZING work of nature, those striking colourful of autumn leaves and trees. My mood just swing from normal to HIGH, smiling and WOW all the way as if i saw money hanging on those trees. Just amazed and stunt!!! One can really see the transformation from green to yellow, amber, crimson and purple along the trail. The only thing i felt sad is that i SHOULD have a DSLR with polarized filters to shoot these photos, as the sun rise higher, the sunlight is so annoying that i can’t get a good shot.
Here are some of the photos that i hope to share with whoever reading this, feel the vibrant warm colours of autumn :) Hope u guys enjoy :)
