ThE DeMisE Of MJ

switched on the radio half-awake and the 1st thing i heard was the news tt michael jackson has passed away.

*

the last time i heard about him was the rumour that he'd contracted skin cancer.. and now.. juz like tt..

*

he's not my idol. he's not from my era. but he's sooo famous that u cannot dont know him.

*

actually, i think he's a very sad figure. i believe he must be someone who's super inferior and insecure given the series of plastic surgeries he'd underwent to 'perfect' himself.

*

yes, to me, pple who opt for plastic sugeries r inferior becuz u will only go for plastic sugeries when u think u dont look good enuff. and when u think u dont look gd enuff, u will have no confident and no confident = inferior. simple as that.

*

so to some extent, under my definition, everyone is inferior unless u dare to tell me ur perfectly satisfied with urself to the extent tt u dont need to make up, dont need to diet, dont need to put on nice clothes, dont need to trim ur brow, dont need to go for facial etc.

*

but of cuz, there's diff level of inferiority. and i think to the extent tt plastic sugeries have to come into the picture is truly quite extreme liao.

**

anyway, back to MJ, i think looking into the mirror, he already cannot recognise himself.. someone who has lost his true self..who has lost his original identity..

*

i used to wonder why celebrities can earn so much. but juz give it some tots and u'll know y..

*

• have to take care of physical appearance which means STRICT DIET and EXERCISING and if need be, PLASTIC SURGERIES. not forgetting THICK MAKE-UPS! at the end of the day, when the make ups r removed, i believe the stars themselves also cannot recognise themselves.
• high stress level - enuff exposure? enuff contracts? popularity? sales volumne? competitors??
• little sleeping time which adds to point 2 and make point 1 even more difficult to achieve becuz we all know little sleeping time = bad skin
• low privacy - all ur little moves r SCRUTINISED!!! the more popular ur, the worse it'll be!
• loss of personal time /space - u think they can juz go out and shop like any tom dick or harry?
• short shelf life - how many can be popular from 20 years old to 65 years old??
• high spending needs - u dont expect a star to sqz public transport or wear kuku brands or eat at hawker centres.... do u?

*

glamourous as they r.... i believe being a celeb is one of the toughest thing ever.. hence, they do deserve the amount of money they r getting. and celebs r definitely one of the poorest creatures in the world... losing the true selves behind the limelight..

*

that reminds me of the song - 小人物的心声.

*

im glad im a 小人物.
