More specifically Im in DenMark :)

On an exchange programme if you're wondering why.

its very nerve wrecking coming all the way here from AmsterdaM (flight transit) Alone (well i have accompany before)

thank god ppl in the region speak good english otherwise i'll prolly end up

somewhere only hell know where it is....

Its cold out there, its running -5 d.c i think

it could be colder some time later, at least that was what i was told.

The ppl taking care of me are really nice ppl and they're kinda amazing too

its pretty chill and quiet, and peaceful too

and this is where im sleeping...

their daughter's room (she's 11... or 12 i guess) cute girl :D

Have fun guys, will have more some time later.

p.s my laptop is RUnning out of Battery!!!!

This is it, this is it!

my oh my, this is it -Michael Jackson

well i wouldn't say its the best show ever, But...

But IT really isn't that bad, not bad at all....

Basically, It's pretty much unadorned rehearsal footage, artfully stitched together,

presenting Michael behind the scene.

Although its not a movie, but it is a show.. well technically.

Frankly speaking, i wasn't much of a MJ fan,

but i really think he did a great job there.

and I must admit, his stagecraft was truly awesome!

I lost count how many goosebumps i had watching that show.

also, i was fascinated watching MJ control every nuance of the performance :D

the beat , the jazz, dancers cue, position , details in music, EVRYTHING! like a KING lol

oh there's this part of the show i really like about

when the film director told MJ that the cherry picker he's on was only on low setting

he laughs and says Kenny (film director) shouldn't have told him that coz he knew MJ would just wanna go higher~ :)

real sweet, reaaal sweeeet....

Even though i'd probably never get the chance to see Michael Jackson in a concert

but i think that's good enough for me, for a non MJ i mean.

And one thing for sure,

he sounded and moved pretty damn well for a 50 year old :D

so if you're not a MJ fan

GO watch it

coz THIS IS IT!

Eeeek!!!

I believe i can pull this off

I believe i can pull this off

I believe i can pull this off

I believe i can pull this off

I believe i can pull this off !

Perceptions;Priorities

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning. A man with a violin plays six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people passed through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin valued at $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the price of seats averaged $100.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities. The questions raised: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made… what else are we missing?
