And i dont know if im even in Singapore. I wanna meet the peolple i miss.



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Mama, i love you from the bottom of my heart and i will always cherish the hard times youve gone through. And i will not forget those times when you almost suffered from depression. I understand the situation on your life now and i will do whatever it takes to make you happy after what happened.
I love you Mama Zulinda ;D

So, i gave her a Body Shop Rose Body Mist and her all time favourite perfume, Anais Anais. Fuyoohh, punyer lah susah nk buat decision. To total things up, everything cost around $80.
Only for the perfumes. Foooh, boleh pengsan. From DKNY to Anna Sui to Ralph Lauren to Escada to Bulberry to Victoria Secret, in the end, i found the perfume. That night, i lied down beside her and told her that i love her alot. Hohohoh, and everyone hugged her. Except for one ):

Phewwwww,
Plans for tmrw; Go to Anis's home to do Art in the Morning, meet the rest of the usuals to study.
So sorry for the lack of updates. Mid-Years are so stressing ya know. Hmmm. My sketching's not finished yet. So that means, my layouts are not even done. What a bore. Idk what ive been up to instead of onlining, taking quizes on facebook, doing art and talking otp. Other than that, ive been really killing time watching The Beatles on youtube. Which i should not be doing. But i just cant get away from the lappy. Hmmmm. I really need time-management. Thank god Monday's a public holiday. I can slowly catch up with Art and other revisions. Like MATHS, most importantly.




Ive been feeling very down these few days. Veryverydown.
Because of the fact that i kind of miss The Beatles.
I miss John Lennon and George Harrison, whos safely in God's hands right now.
I miss watching them happy before thier LSD days.
Eventually, i cried on Friday night, reading their history.




Do read their history.


Recreational Drug Use
In Hamburg, The Beatles used "prellies" (Preludin) both recreationally and to maintain their energy through all-night performances. McCartney would usually take one, but Lennon would often take four or five. Bob Dylan introduced them to cannabis during a 1964 visit to New York. McCartney remembered them all getting "very high" and giggling. The Beatles occasionally smoked a joint in the car on the way to the studio during the filming of Help!, which often made them forget their lines.In April 1965, Lennon and Harrison were introduced to LSD by an acquaintance, dentist John Riley, who slipped some into their coffees. McCartney was more reluctant to try the drug, but finally did so in 1966 and was the first Beatle to talk about it in the press, saying in June 1967 that he took it four times.


Breakup
In January 1969, The Beatles began a film project documenting the making of their next record, originally titled Get Back. During the recording sessions, the band undertook their final live performance on the rooftop of the Apple building at 3
Savile Road, London, on 30 January 1969. Most of the performance was filmed and later included in the film Let It Be
. The project was temporarily shelved

Post-Breakup
McCartney publicly announced the break-up on 10 April 1970, a week before releasing his first solo album, McCartney. Pre-release copies included a press release with a self-written interview explaining the end of The Beatles and his hopes for the future.Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again.

John Lennon's Death
John Lennon was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman on 8 December 1980 in New York City. Chapman went to New York in October 1980 planning to kill Lennon. He left the city for a short while in order to obtain ammunition from his unwitting friend Dana Reeves inAtlanta. Around 5:00 p.m., Lennon and Ono left The Dakota for a recording session at Record Plant Studios. As they walked towards their limousine on the curb, Chapman shook hands with Lennon and held out a copy of Lennon's new album, Double Fantasy, for him to sign. Photographer Paul Goresh was present when Lennon signed Chapman's album and took a photo of the event. Chapman reported that, "At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn't. I waited until he came back. He knew where the ducks went in winter, and I needed to know this" (a reference to The Catcher in the Rye).Around 10:49 p.m., the Lennons' limousine returned to the Dakota. Lennon and Ono passed by Chapman and walked toward the archway entrance of the building's courtyard. From the street, Chapman turned and fired five hollow point bullets from a Charter Arms . 38 Revolver that he had purchased in Hawaii, four of which hit Lennon's back and shoulder. One of the bullets pierced Lennon's aorta, the largest and most important artery in the human body, causing very severe blood loss by aortic dissection. There was an isolated newspaper claim at the time that, before firing, Chapman called out "Mr. Lennon" and dropped into a "combat scenee," though Chapman disputes this assertion.
Chapman remained at the scene, took out his copy of The Catcher in the Rye and read it until the police arrived. The New York Police department officers who first responded to the shooting recognized that Lennon's wounds were severe, and so they decided to transport him in their police car to Roosevelt Hospital. Chapman was arrested without incident. In his statement to police three hours later, Chapman stated, "I’m sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil
Lennon was pronounced dead at 11:07 p.m. at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital


Tribute to John Lennon

In May 1981, George Harrison released "
All Those Years Ago"; a single written about his time with The Beatles. It was recorded the month before Lennon's death, with Starr on drums, and was later overdubbed with new lyrics as a tribute to Lennon. In April 1982, Paul McCartney released his Tug of War album, containing his tribute song to John Lennon, titled "Here Today". In February 1994, the three surviving Beatles reunited to produce and record additional music for a few of Lennon's home recordings

George Harrison's Death

In the late 1990s, George Harrison was diagnosed with
lung cancer and he succumbed to the disease on 29 November 2001Harrison developed throat cancer, which was discovered in 1997 after a lump on his neck was analysed. He attributed it to his smoking in the 1960s. Despite radiotherapy the cancer spread, and he underwent an operation at the Mayo Clinic in the US during the early part of May 2001, to remove a growth from one of his lungs. Three months later, in July 2001, it was revealed that Harrison was receiving radiotherapy for a brain tumour at a clinic in Switzerland. In November 2001, Harrison began radiotherapy at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City. During his treatment there, Dr. Gilbert Lederman, a radiation oncologist, allegedly revealed confidential medical information to the public and forced Harrison to autograph a guitar. The incident led to a lawsuit, which was ultimately settled out of court under the condition that the guitar be "disposed of".Despite the treatments and operations, Harrison died on 29 November 2001 at his Hollywood Hills mansion that was once leased by McCartney and was previously owned by Courtney Love. His death was listed on his Los Angeles County death certificate as "metastatic non-small cell lung cancer". He was cremated at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and his ashes were scattered in the Ganges River by his close family in a private ceremony according to Hindu tradition. He left almost $155 (£105) million in his will.

John Lennon's death was really shocking. Yes, FUCK CHAPMAN. PSYCHOTIC LOSER.

And yes, i do agree to this:
John Lennon was more than Paul McCartney's best friend. He was his brother. He was his song writing soul mate. John and Paul are the most amazing song writing team to ever grace the planet, and they were more to each other than anybody could ever imagine. Paul didn't just lose his best friend -- he lost a part of himself.



If only all fab four were still alive. But im still glad they made History, till today.

May you rest in peace John Lennon and George Harrison.
