Looking Back on 2009
Posted by Gallivanter in Personal on 28. Dec, 2009 | 9 Comments
To sum it up, it has been an eventful rollercoaster year, with a lot of ups in the end that made the earlier downs a worthwhile ride at the end.
Here’s a look back of 2009 through my favorite collection of posts.
It started out with my blog interview with the Malay Mail which was certainly a wonderful [...]
Michael Jackson’s This is It – My Thoughts
Posted by Gallivanter in Reviews, Rewind, Songs on 11. Nov, 2009 | 16 Comments
Before I venture on penning my sentiments, I want to state the obvious – this is NOT a movie review because “THIS IS IT” was never plotted to be a movie in the first place! I spent RM120 for a pair of tickets at the Gold Class just to see one of my favorite artist, Michael Jackson [...]
I Killed Santa at Michael Jackson’s Thrill the World Shah Alam
Posted by Gallivanter in Happenings on 26. Oct, 2009 | 18 Comments
Yes. I’m sorry dear bloggers. You will have to spend Christmas without Santa Claus. You see, I needed a costume, and I didn’t want to be just a zombie. Then eureka, after little over one hour make-up session in the morning thanks to Kadazanbonita, I joined a bunch of Malaysian zombies to thrill the world.
Here [...]

Dan Brown – The Lost Symbol (A Review)
Posted by Gallivanter in Books, Reviews on 06. Oct, 2009 | 15 Comments
Maybe I had high expectations after “Angels & Demons” and “Da Vinci Code” became my 2 favorite books of all time. I only have one word to describe Dan Brown’s latest book – lost! The book title regrettably summarizes the story, “The Lost Plot” would’ve been a better depiction.
Dan Brown is renowned for infusing facts into his [...]
Michael Jackson Turns 50 – What Went Wrong?
Posted by Gallivanter in Thoughts on 25. Sep, 2008 | 27 Comments
A middle-aged man donning pajamas in a wheelchair, looking haggard and fallible. His skin seems to be flaking beneath a surgical mask, covering the bottom half of his face. A pair of large sunglasses shields his resigned eyes. Welcome to the very sad world of MJ. Like most of us, I can’t help but to [...]
Michael Jackson ft Akon – Wanna Be Startin Something 2008

I checked out the album, mainly for the collaborations on MJ’s legendary tunes. Fergie, Kanye West, Will.I.Am and Akon are all featured in a handful of updated MJ tunes. THRILLER, till date, is the BIGGEST selling album of all time. This was Michael Jackson at his best. No one else came close to his legendary [...]
Michael Jackson – Thriller
Posted by Gallivanter in Songs on 09. Feb, 2008 | 2 Comments
It was the most expensive music video of its time. A horror spoof film with choreographed zombies with THAT dance. The climatic scene where MJ dances with the zombies – will be etched in our minds for eternity. Many may take a swipe at him for all his idiosyncrasies, but very few would disagree that [...]
