MJ - No Other Singer Comes Close

Don’t compare Justin Timberlake to Michael Jackson, especially at this time when Jackson has just left us. Timberlake is nowhere near Jackson.

When you say King of Pop, it’s not about who is dominating the pop music world right now. It’s about who made the pop music scene what it is today.

Before Jackson, there was no one person good at both singing and dancing. He came and artistes who came after him realized they have to do both to be a pop idol.

Billy Jean was the first music video from a black artist to get played on MTV. Jackson broke the color barrier in the music industry before Obama did in the politics. Give him credit for that!

He was also the first artiste to incorporate complex story lines and dance techniques into a music video, transforming it from a promotional tool into an art form.

Before him, a music video was a just a video showing the singer singing to the camera. Don’t forget his trademarks – the moonwalk, toe-stand, 45-degree lean, the spins, the crotch grabbing, the fedora, the glove, the armband. Jackson started them all.

Lastly, Jackson wrote and composed almost all of his songs. He co-produced his solo albums and he co-choreographed his dance routines. (Elvis Presley, who was called The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, did not compose or write his songs).
Michael Jackson has the best selling album of all time. No other artiste has ever come close to his fame and achievements.

MJ will always be legendary for the music he has brought to us and to our children.
He lives beyond his music realm.

Friends are too important not to have :)

MRT - Mass Rapid Transit

Image
New MRT facilities can be enjoyed by its passengers in Singapore, now in every door equipped with route display panel as a train direction, the red blinking light shows which station we are now (so, no more self question ... 'where are we now? What station is this?) and yellow light shows the train route. This changing is really helpful because the train direction is a bit confusing me sometimes, especially when you are in Dhoby Ghaut (read in Indonesia : ' Dobi Got ') or City Hall station with lots of train tunnel. And it is refreshing my eyes with it's fancy look, even though it is a bit costly i guess ... of course, with that much train operation everyday in this island wide, in each door installed this route panel display, just imagine how much money government spent for this fresh look in this monetary crisis. That is what common point of view, but if we take a look from other angle that we-our self also need to pamper our self with any (costless if possible) thing...

The way it's made almost as same as Yeolmu kimchi , we just need to coated radishes in salt and sugar mixture for one day in the room temperature , it will leave salty and sweet taste to the radishes.

Store in the refrigerator with self life about 1 week. It is nice to be served cool. Picture is courtesy of park.org/Cdrom/Pavilions/

Vinegar may be a fat buster

Image
The lasting fat-busting weapon may be found right in your kitchen. According to the health website WebMD, Japanese researchers said that ordinary household vinegars appear to turn on genes that help the body break down fats. This helps prevent fat buildup in the body, thwarting weight gain. Vinegar has been used in folk remedies since ancient times. In recent years, research has suggested that acetic acid, the organic chemical in vinegar which gives it its sour taste, can help control blood pressure and sugar. The Japanese researchers, led by Dr Tomoo Kondo from the Central Research Institute of the Mizkan Group Corporation, found that vinegar could influence genes link to fatty acid oxidation and heat-generating (energy-burning) proteins. They feed mice a high-fat diet. One group of mice was given vinegar through a stomach tube. Another group was given a lower dose – vinegar diluted with water – and a third group was not given vinegar. The experiment showed that all the vinegar-fed m...
