Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

If MJ's story was to be written, it would be a really thick book. I'll leave that to his Biographers. I do better with clay. Different phases of his life are represented here in Jumping Clay.


1990,Height of his fame

1990s, accusations of improper actions towards children

1990s - bizzare behaviour

2003 - hiding from media glare


June 25, 2009 - FARE THEE WELL

As i type, i hope he is in a better world as described here:

There's A Place In Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow...

A good way to see Malacca (I)

The river cruise did it for me. This family trip to Malacca is made memorable because of the cruise. Chugging down on the calm and relatively clean river on a sunny but warm day with intermittant breezes is a good way to see Malacca for me. The lack of trafic jam after Second Link was a great motivator. The shopping and the meals at Newton were good too. of course the time spent with the family topped it all up. Now for the pics:


The pre-trip check

The landmark

The Welcome sign

The streets of Malacca


The smiles after the thirst-quencher ;-)

HOPE

Did these two pieces some years ago. One is gone. The other, the smaller one, a sparrow, is still around. And the colour is still white. It is still unpainted. Somehow it represents life - still unfinished.

The story of my mother

A Funtastic Group of People

Well, i don't really blog about my work - i try to abide by regulations set on blogging about one's work. But i really blog about what i am passionate about and that's air-dry clay.
However, i wanna write about this group here. These are words and phrases that i would use to describe them:

*Fun
*Active
*Colourful
*Very diverse interests
*And Very United

Will see them again soon!

Saturday Night Fever !!!

This is one of my favourite movies and a great representative movie of the 70s - The Bee Gees songs, the mood, the disco tempo, the memories. Never forget it...
