it is an old cliche, what do you want people to say in the papers, after your death, or at a funeral, if you never end up famous enough. the (somewhat) shocking death of mj has taken the world by storm - he will be missed, for all his eccentricity, creativity and music that remains hip, surprisingly so in this day and age where people clamour for change. and yet his songs are still well-loved 20 (or more) years later. and so we have the passing of another icon, an icon much remembered by people across generations, testament to the strong appeal of his songs. reading through all the stuff about him though, there's so much i dont know about this man, aside from all his eccentricities in his later years, and that he used to be black (who wouldnt when a drink neither black nor white is named after him) of course. and what a life he had, it makes me feel like i am wasting my time, when i should be singing and performing at the age of 5. haha of course, i dont have any talent to speak of (and not to mention am tone deaf), and i should remain an average joe, going to uni, joining the working world and be like millions of people who dream of fame and success sometimes. only sometimes. since we all know what happened to mj, and the sacrifices celebrities make.

and so back to my boring life, i feel like i am not doing anything meaningful, but i guess i have been having fun the past couple of weeks, so that's always a good thing. there were of course club med and law camp, both of which were loads of fun, especially since i went for both with some apprehension. club med because our intel suggests that it was like a resort and there werent sights to see and all - should we have just gone to sentosa, or have a staycation, which is so bloody in these days. of course the cost didnt do much to allay those concerns. it was mostly are we going to get our money worth? and then nobody bothered to tell us there was a 50% off for 2nd adult if we went in july! but we decided we had to get away and so we went to tmft with our fingers crossed, hoping it wasnt going to be a wasted trip. and it was a great vacation, we sweated it out, enjoyed the nightly entertainment, tried out the trapeze, saw jonathan on the trapeze, snorkeled. i think i wouldnt mind just checking into club med when i am rich and successful, with some spare cash and just going there to chill. when i am rich and successful i would need that dont you think. and the place is beautiful. with a couple of eyecandies which no one would mind would they haha. nothing much happened there, no scandalous getting laid stories you would hear but wild jocks going on an eurotrip, or getting drunk and dancing on the bartop, but for some reason we all needed to get away, and that was in a way perfect. i hope it wont be the last time we're travelling, perhaps the next time round backpacking and going to various sights would be ideal haha.

and after a series of camp fatigue post army, law camp was surprisingly fun! i had perhaps expected somewhat of a tighter schedule, wake up early all that stuff, but it was all about getting to know more people, with not so much as forced setting (minus the secret pal thing of course haha). night court was pretty awesome, one of the best tradition-based activities i must say. it helped too that we had proper beds to sleep on! haha. of course the people were great, and it helps that the leadership was all enthusiastic and rara. and we were all ready to talk, make conversations and all. much unlike situations where people just sat and refused to talk cos everyone was ugly. haha i jest. we all had fun, and it's always a great prelude (to school) to get to know who your batchmates are going to be. although orientation groups tend to break up without the

school's about to start, i am suffering from somewhat of a 21yo crisis i think. increasingly singers and actors are like my age, waiters and stewardesses too, i am old! even my classmates are younger than me! ah the things ns do to you.

i cant believe after 20 days, all i can come up with is an inane entry. another sign of me getting old. haha
