Michael Jackson dead at 50.

This is a special post, a salutation and eulogy to one of the greatest figures in history.


"Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of creativity."
-Arnold Schwarzenegger.


"Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life! He made me believe in magic."
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs.


"The world has lost one of its greats, but his music will live on forever."
- Madonna.

"Life is not about how many breaths, but about how many moments in life that take your breath away. For anyone who has ever seen, felt or heard his art, we are all honoured to have been alive in this generation to experience the magic of Michael Jackson."
-Beyonce Knowles.



The nonpareil visage of this demigod will forever be known as "the king of pop" with his album Thriller being number one in my book. The world's most successful entertainer achieved ultimate stardom with his Album Thriller being the 'World's best selling Album of all time'. Not only has he captivate millions but inspired others with his charitable notations that heed jubilation but also by his bad-ass moves where in 1983 Mo Town 25th anniversary he unleashed the 'Moon Walk' where know becomes a symbolic dance move that insipered up coming Singers such as Neyo and Chris Brown.

Although being unparalled in notoriety, the absence of his childhood saddened me. Having not experiencing childlife brings great pain and reliance on a person. His music speaks for itself, as it conveys a much more meaning than words itself.

The twice inducted rock and role hall of famer acheived and won most successful entertainer of all time, 13 grammy awards, 13 number one singles and 750 million albums sold worldwide. His last concert This is it which was scheduled to start in 3 weeks time in London was sold out with 1 million tickets sold, where it was gradually cancelled.

The king of pop rearranged not only music but also the world. His influence will stay in our hearts. It greatly pains me that a great figure moved on, Michael Jackson will forever be known as the king of pop with the addition of being one of the most notable influential person in history.

"As long as your music is heard, you magic will too."

Rest In Peace Smooth Criminal.

freaky friday

"He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit."


Alhamdulilah, my mother now is on the road of recovery, with the addition of starting her physical and speech therapy this monday. Thank Allah, the wisest and chivalrous of all.

Friday was like a scene from home alone 2. Arriving at Changi at 9 with the mistake of looking at the arrivals under Brunei than Departures lead to the thinking that our plane was set to leave at 9.25. 'Breeze-walking' to gate E22 we arrived pratically an hour early, as the plane apparently leaves at 10.45!
so more unprotected money burning last minute shopping for me.

The afternoon was those splurge-money-on-useless-stuff kind of afternoon where, i practically went into every store in Kiulap. Ended up not using those stuff for prom :(

Prom was beyond words, it was more than a tummy sensation more than an average mind blowing event; it was literraly 'one of za best'. Clad in a white tux, with the 'fashionalbly late' sign plastered on my forehead i took the room by storm, photoshoots were preceeded latter. Performances ranging from Hafiz's amazing voice to Aneikan's TI impression, were admirably in need of standing ovations.
On the dance floor, new moves were performed with old ones gentrified. The food was amazingly great too, even with me insisting on trying the salad and also the missing out of the desserts. Having the dance floor sure does decrease your appetite for food :)
Dresses were gorgeous, Suits were you know suits. Badi Latif the photographer was present with hopefully good shots of me! Year 11 will surely be missed dearly.
Photos will be soon!

The death of Michael Jackson is shocking, Thriller will always remain the best album, i have Thriller set on repeat, savouring the King's amazing indescribably best songs. there will be a special post-tribute for the king.

off to empire

bon voyage

Q: Why did the chicken cross Orchard road?
A: Because of the chicken rice stall on the other side!

Bon Voyage, a french word borrowed into an English meaning; stands for either 'good trip' or 'have a good trip'.

Today should be commemorated, as it marks the end of all Year 11 exams! Three cheers for the year elevens, as not only have you endured the hardest parts of your lives but lived to tell the tale. commendations are required.

Prom; guys now is the right time to anticipate and be excited about prom. Not only has it been 'small-talk' throughout the start of the year, but also the beauty of year 11. Enough talk on exams, that's over! we have Prom to be worried about now :) The white shoes, since i couldn't get it in Brunei, It'll be hand-delivered from UK instead.
Everything's complete and ready for me!, How about you? ;)

Currently i am packing for Singapore tomorrow, 7:45 FLIGHT! early much! Now i realize how big my wardrobes are, and also the fact that i own a gazillion unused or 'one timer' clothes :S! I will be seeing Naqiyyah on the plane!

My mom finished her surgery and is now stable and conscious, alhamdulilah. Thanks to Allah for granting all our prayers, i hope she'll get a full recovery.
p.s i'll try updating in Singapore since Royal Plaza has WiFis everywhere.

watch out for swine flu, 2 confirmed cases already in Brunei

*Terminator accent* I'll be back.......on friday!

goodnight Brunei and readers :)

If those who knows that i had a rough weekend, i applaud you for your silence.
Very recently, my mother has been struck with a stroke and is now in Singapore for treatment.
I will be joining her after my exams on Monday, where i will miss the Sixth Form Orientation but not the prom since I'll be coming back to Brunei on Friday. I'll fly off again hopefully the next day, probably for a month.

Praying will indeed help. So guys i urge you to pray for my mom. She will get well soon, Amin.


I'm praying for you every second, every minute, every hour of my day. Hoping for the disease to recede.

p.s A confirmed case of Swine Flu in Brunei meaning precautions people!

you're everything

If i could give you diamonds
for every tear you cried for me
If i could give you sapphires
for each truth you've helped me see

If i could give you rubies
for the heartache that you've known
If i could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you've shown

Then you'll have a treasure, mother
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes

But i have no pearls, no diamonds
as I'm sure you're well aware
So I'll give you gifts more precious
my devotion, love and care.

To everyone who knows, please don't say anything.
prom is now a maybe.

Dear Readers, please respect my privacy prior to the events.

Abdul Osman.

On repeat: Millionaire - Kelis ft Andre 3000

Blog walking had never been so rip roaring. Either from careless grammar mistakes to very tempting and thought-provoking blogs. That's what 'having the house to yourself' does to you, being a nerd on the Internet with pure boredom that kills.

Today i finally achieved a milestone; that is Replying all of my Emails :) Its fascinating how many things can be completed before 11. On the other hand, my wireless is being stubborn, talk about slow service.

After a night's talk with Nazura, i finally found out that, almost or nearly all my conversations are linked or partially linked to food! a shocking revelation indeed!
shoot, look at the time.

I'll update tons later hopefully.
going out now, since i'm late already!

A Happy 17th to Mister Nestor Mendoza, don't party to hard my friend.

The rain today has been rather refreshing, inviting me to another hour of sleep.
Year 11 prom is on the 26th which is SOON!
Everything is nearly complete, from cuff lings to 20k watches. The only thing missing are SHOES! Everything for prom is from UK but we forgot about the SHOES! omg. i know right.
