The following is from Carmen Chin's Blog. Since her blog is private, I'm posting her longer and more complete version of our outing. =D

This Is It! This Is REALLY It!!!

I did plan to write yesterday when I returned from tuition but I was too exhausted and my eyes half-closed. I hope after 9 hours of sleep, I could still recall what happen yesterday. I will break my post into several sub-topics which are:

1. First time driving to Gurney
2. The ladies who borrowed I-Lyn’s popular card
3. This Is It!
4. The two baboons.
5. Going home

1. This is my first time ever driving to Gurney and I would consider myself unlucky because I-Lyn and Angeline both prefer Gurney. I would personally prefer Queensbay! (because I know the route to Queensbay!) Lol. However, I sort of remember a bit on the route to Gurney as I went there with my family a few weeks ago and I took the initiative to analyse the roads. =D Or else, I would just sit and enjoy myself in the car. Lol. The part that I am most concern of is my parking. I am just a 1month plus driver and I still need to improve on my parking skills. I fetched I-Lyn there and we took quite some time to find a spot which is easy to park. You know me…=D We went through a ‘pintu rintangan’ to get into the mall. I was surprised that we were not the only students who were there. We brought clothes to change but other students actually walked with their school uniforms on. Oh well…

2. After changing, Angeline informed us that she would be reaching late and so we decided to go to Popular Bookstore as I-Lyn wanted to buy some books. I-Lyn was having a hard time choosing and couldn’t decide on which book to buy because all of them does not have much difference actually. However, she still managed to take… I guess 3 books? I couldn’t remember. As we were walking towards the counter, there were two Adventist hospital nurses who asked whether we could lend them the popular membership card. No offences but their acting were really bad when the counter lady told them that they were not supposed to borrow membership cards from people. Their reason is so lame saying that they brought us to Gurney during their lunch time and now they are rushing back to work as their time is almost over. My foot! We saw them outside Cold Storage half an hour later. =.=” I was telling myself that they wouldn’t have to act also if they just let I-Lyn pay everything together.

3. After having lunch at Wong Kok Kitchen, we went up to the cinema floor to get ready for the show. Since we were still a few minutes early, we went to the washroom first. When we were done, we proceed into our cinema hall and get our seats. It was really a big hall. If I am not mistaken I think that was my 1st time into such huge cinema hall. I was like…(Wow!) Hahaha!!! Angeline wanted to sit in the middle so me and I-Lyn each sat beside her. All I can say about the show is, Michael Jackson is fantastic, fabulous and tremendously great!!! I mean although it seemed to be just a rehearsal where we all would understand that he might not give all his best during practices but by watching how he planned and managed his stage, his dancers, his musics and etc., I can really imagine how grand his concert would be if he would have made it. During his rehearsal, it was shown that he put his whole heart and soul in perfecting every single small details during his concert. He wanted everything to be perfect, special, extraordinary and to look amazing in front of his fans from all over the world. If I were to make any comeback comparisons of Michael Jackson’s and other artistes, I would strongly say that his comeback will be the best among all. =D There were some funny parts throughout his work with his people also. It’s difficult to describe here in words about how superb his show was until really watched it, then you’ll probably understand. Even though he’s already 50 years old, it surprised me that he could still move and dance like how he did during his 30s to 40s. Of course his movements were not as much as last time but let’s think, how many 50 year old people can do what he’s doing? The important part is his energy is still there. His ‘semangat’. He was doing really great and it doesn’t seem as if he was a sick and was about to die. He still looked so healthy but thin. What can I say more? ‘This Is It!’ is really IT!

4. During the whole show, the three of us were so annoyed by some Chinese guys who were so uncivilized, as I would say to sing and shout throughout the show. I mean, don’t they have respect for other people? Everyone in the cinema hall came to watch and listen to Michael Jackson sing, NOT THEM or HIM!!! That bloody guy and his friend were so rude and treat the whole thing as a sing-a-long show, like some baboons that accidentally escaped from the zoo. Thank God I wasn’t sitting beside those baboons but I felt sorry for I-Lyn. Her blood was boiling throughout the whole show I bet. Right I-Lyn? Lol. We were complaining so much after the movie and I-Lyn said she should forgive them since those baboons were MJ’s fans and they love his so much. Oh, please! For me, I won’t forgive them. Because of them, I can’t get my 100% satisfaction of the show. They spoil my mood! Idiot dumbos! I mean, if it’s like in a public area, they wanna sing, go ahead. I might even sing along too. But I paid to watch the show, obviously I wouldn’t want to listen to their voices. Like shit only. I thought that was the worst part and it’s gonna be over soon when the show ended. Guess what? They stayed until the end and they sang even louder. Really like maniacs! They jumped right to the back and sing the other three songs played after the show. Some people might find their actions funny but to me, it was stupid, disturbing and disrespectful. If they were in love with MJ, why don’t they just go to red box and sing all they want? Heard they say maybe wanna rewatch the show in the next slot. *sigh* I pity the group of people there if he was really insane to watch it again at that particular day.

5. It was almost 5pm when we watch until the last bit of the show. For an RM 10 Michael Jackson movie, and since its MICHAEL JACKSON, I will make sure my ticket was worth watching! Lol. Before heading home, I bought some food for my sis in Mcd. There were so many empty parking spaces available when we were leaving. Under that condition, I was able get out of my lot easily. =D I fetch Angeline back to school and from there, her grandfather then fetched her home. Later, I dropped I-Lyn at Mcd in Greenlane for her dinner and she asked Ze Yin to fetch her at 7pm and they would go to tuition together. After that, I drove home alone. I was so sleepy yesterday. Maybe I wasn’t used to driving so much in a day. Hahaha!!!

Lastly, I would like to thank:
Angeline- for getting the tickets for us, paying for the car park ticket (make me feel so paiseh)

I-Lyn- assisting me on the way to Gurney and back to school, paying for the car park ticket (make me feel so paiseh)
* but I paid RM 0.40! Lol

Michael Jackson- for the great show he put on for us, his fans. Although he didn’t have the chance to make it but somehow, we still managed to see it and I truly appreciated everything that he had done.

Thank you, Michael Jackson!
