Michael Jackson Dies Today
So surprising but the King of Pop died today at about 2.30pm (US time) at his home. It's believed that he went to cardiac arrest but there are no confirmation till they do the autopsy as some believe it was due to prescription drugs.
What a total shocking news and he was only 50! Very, very shocked.

Car Accident
I was told last night by Mr's friend that the accident that was reported here involved a person we know, not a friend.
The person we knew, a 24 year old I believe, was drag racing with a motor cycle when his car clipped the median strip and he lost control and went onto oncoming traffic where he hit a 50 year old man, Father of four. It's unknown at this stage, but there was a 17 year old girl who was in one of the vehicles but at the time they thought that it was from the van but later believed she was a passenger from the S2000 (car racing).
The 50 year old man later died on the crash sight after awaiting 3 hours to be rescued out of the vehicle whilst the driver (racing) of the Honda S2000 is in critical condition at Liverpool Hospital and has undergone operation for internal injuries. The 17 year old woman has also undergone operation and is said to be in critical but stable condition.
It's appalling when I hear stories like this because I see so many idiots on the road. I've got a semi-sports vehicle (not performance enhanced but looks like a sports car) and I've always got hoodlums trying to race me...no thanks! I feel that if they want to kill themselves, fine but don't drag innocent people with your stupidity. I will leave it at that because I'm really angry about news reports like this.
The man who was drag racing also has 3 small children, they would most probably be left without a Father either way because if he survives he will be doing a long time in jail for manslaughter, to be honest, I would probably be more inclined to say I'd rather die if I'm in that situation because I don't know if I could live the rest of my life in jail and knowing I killed another person.

Colin; the baby whale
For those that are in Australia you will know all about Colin, the baby humpback whale that has plagued our news in the last few days.
The story of Colin begins when he came into view, dawdling at the bottom of nearby ships, seemingly looking for it's Mother that has apparently abandoned the baby whale.
Officials have decided not to feed him, stating that us humans shouldn't interfere with nature. Colin has now been starving for five days and keep trying to feed on these ships, assuming that's his Mother, it's quite a sad scene and one that has touched me.
Officials are debating on what to do and yet it never came to their minds to feed the poor whale, they are thinking of euthanasia thinking that this poor whale if released could encounter sharks and till it's Mother comes back for him, which is doubtful it seems that baby Colin's destiny is not bright to say the least.
Further info can be found in the Sydney Morning Herald Article, we could only hope that these officials make the right choice for this poor baby whale.

08-08-08
Today is the 08-08-08 and the first day of the Olympics in Beijing. The number 8 is a lucky number for the Chinese, and thus, the choice in date for the Olympics in China. I like such numbers but not for the aspect of luck, I believe we make our own, but more for the fact that it is so easy to remember. Therefore, I'd like to marry either 09-09-09 or 10-10-10, probably more 2010 as that's my partner's birthday October 10th. My dog's birthday is 04-04-04, now do you think any owners, despite how much they love their pets would remember their actual birthday? I think not, yet, I do...why? Cos it's a brilliant date that is easily remembered, so when I can help it, I will just try and make occasions on such dates.
Back to the 08-08-08, 96 Weddings took place today in the Local Registries, most being Asians ofcourse with the belief of a lucky day. 96 seems to be quite a high rate of weddings, and that's just at the registry, not including those that got married in an actual ceremony with a Registrar, I suppose will see shortly how lucky the date really is ;)
