The King of Pop is dead

I grew up listening to Micheal Jackson during his Jackson 5 days. Those were the innocent like period of his career when he team up with his brothers to produce a number of hits. As he went on to become a very very successful solo artist, I also grew out of pop music and listen less and less. That was also about the time when he came out with his Thriller album that went on to be the most successful album of all time.
His death was unexpected. A legend is gone but his memories linger on.

Magic, illusion or trickery?

Watching the show that revealed the secrets of the magicians, I realised how gullible we can be. No wonder magicians are raking in millions by making us believed in their magic. One thing I must admit, the tricks are well thought out.
And no wonder people are losing money in their millions to fraud and the like. Sometimes you cannot believe the way people are being cheated out of their money. You can smell the rat miles away and yet some people still fall for it.

Back in KL

We reached home at about 5 pm from Johor Baru. A tiring but nevertheless, an enjoyable one. If time permits, should do more of this kind of trips. It rejuvenates you. Tomorrow, its back to work for me. A lot of things to complete and some new things coming up.

This person sleeping on the pavement caught our attention as we were driving through Melaka town heading for the hotel
I was on leave Monday and Tuesday. Went to Melaka and later to Johor Baru where my son had something to do. While in Melaka, decided to try some of the tourist attractions there.
