A/N: I'm moving to my blog at Tumblr now but I'm not going to delete my old blog at Blogger. It's got a priceless value and I'll leave it here for me, you and anybody who would want to read it in future.

"Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone."
- Marlon Jackson
I know all of you will kill me once you read this but I slept through practically the whole memorial. I wanted to try and watch all of it but at the beginning, the memorial might have been touching but it didn't speak to me. If anybody died, the only people who would be affected beyond depression could really only be the family. To tell you the truth, I only wanted to watch the memorial for the family's eurology. I am particularly touched by Marlon Jackson's eurology and his account on bumping into Michael in the store. ("You're my brother; I can recognise you anywhere regardless of what make up you wear.") And who can forget Paris? It's the shortest speech I've heard in my life but it carries a very big meaning and impact; a magnitude. In this whole memorial, what really mattered? To me, it's the family.

My blog is filled with entries about Michael Jackson. I should blog about my life more. How's life? Life is hard. When I go to school, I get a big headache thinking of how unprepared I am for the CTs and planning my study plan and how to finish all my homework on time. When I go home, my brothers would be fighting. 24/7. That's why I lock myself up in my room. It's much less chaotic there and I can concentrate better there too. And when I lock myself up in my room, I can tune out the world for a moment, try to let out all the bottled-up pressure and evaluate practically.
