Jade Goody passed away while in her sleep early this week. Although she was a nasty person in Big Brother, but I was touched by the things she did before her death. Omitting the constant media's attention and scrutiny, I felt for her..not of sympathy but of emphathy. She was still young you see and she was the only celebrity other than Princess Diana whom I tried to dig out of her past. Perhaps it is because of the year 1981..a special year which I remember. May she be happy in heaven and freed from the sufferings of mankind.

Late this week, I made a confession and blurted out the truth after I saw one my group member crying for the first time. Death - a topic which is of taboo to speak lightheartedly of and related to fear. I walked countless streets and pondered on their perspectives of me. Sometime in certain situation, you feel a sense of unexplained emptiness of losing something. More often it affects female more than male.

I am at the verge of insanity lol. My friends commented that I am so drama and hyper in discussions. I just could not sit still. For a record breaking, I was in the library till 1130pm. How nice~

Insanity at its best. A kind of deja vu too.

A dream to own Noah Art or to have an animal ranch.

I do not want to sound too paranoid or depressing but I do feel the global financial and economy situation really depressing and hitting us malignantly. Just few hours ago, the iconic Merlion head was damaged by a forceful lightning. On a superstitious ground, it is somehow a perilous predicament. It is such a rare incident that the probability of happening is 1 in after 30 years. Then you watched the news and the government mention that unemployment may reach a low of 5%. And GIC raises it stakes in Citigroup to 11%..converting from prefererd to a common stockholder. You scrurry to school each day to see people going to work early and leaving the office as early as 5pm. Families off their houses' lights as early as 1opm. What's happening to a our country? I feel the need to tighten my money seatbelt and prepare for a series of 'Great' depression or perhaps another AFC.

On a lighter note, I am pampering myself with a music and gardening therapy. I feel so guilty but my spirits are better. I realised I was not a good officer but I will try to learn from my own mistakes rather than blaming others.

Not sure whether anyone had watched the movie/musical Evita. It is such an old film that when it was first in cinema I was still in primary 2. Anyway our group watched it as our midnight movie for the sake of our project. I was so enthralled by the musical and characters of the film. Even our beng says the musical tracks from the film is nice lo. Madonna does a good job playing the character of Eva Peron..I am so dead in love with her character..she's a strong lady! Do listen to the lyrics of don't cry for me Argentina and you must love me.

But, I was also disturbed by people who are struck with terminal illness early this week. And that includes Jade Goody, I saw the picture of her dying marriage with her husband on the papers..the picture expresses such emotion that I couldn't explain. Nevermind that Goody is a racist in Big Brother show..but it seriously paints a sad picture of life. That life is such a fragile thing and fame and fortune is just a transient moment in life.

While doing some window shopping, I happened to pass by Gramaphone and bought this cd featuring Norah Jones and her producer - Peter Malick. It includes unrealeased tracks and remixes. I think is quite a good blend of blues jazz , bossa nova and tinge of DJ remix.
