Michael Jackson Reportedly Will Be Buried in Muslim Traditions
Michael Jackson's family reportedly is considering to have a traditional Muslim burial for the late music performer.
A source close to the Jacksons has exclusively revealed to X17 Online that family will likely have a traditional Muslim burial for late Michael Jackson. "The family is considering following the Muslim burial traditions because they believe Michael would have wanted to be laid to rest in keeping with his new-found religious beliefs," says the source.
"Michael's brother Jermaine is educating the family as to the special rites because he feels it's important to bury his brother according to the Muslim way," adds the source. Despite earlier reports that both public and private memorial services for the late music performer have been set to be held this week, there has been no official confirmation just yet from Michael's family on the location where his body will be laid to rest.
Michael Jackson was reported converting to Islam in late 2008, years after expressing his interest to join the faith. He later on changed his name into "Mikaeel", which was meant as a reference to the name of one of Allah's angels.
In Muslim burial, per X17 Online, someone's body "has to be cleaned, but ideally not embalmed, and wrapped in a white sheet, and it must be buried facing Mecca. The Koran also dictates that the body be buried as close to the place of death and as soon after death as possible. There should be no tombstone near the grave."

Real Mc
Jay-Z could just feel the music and spit out a verse.. His choice of music seems to escalate from his first album to the next.. from my interpretation of this video he's trying to differentiate his style to the other styles which seems to be "pop"ping out to day.. "

THE recent art exhibition organised by G4S at the Sheraton Hotel gave a glimpse of the world which many have not known existed.
The artworks displayed were magnificent but what it represented held greater impact. Ideas, emotions and social criticisms can be seen reflected in the various canvas, frames and sculptures.
General manager Ambrose Nathan of G4S, the company organising the exhibition, said: "Art can be a foundation in developing an individual's identity which can contribute to an individual's emotional development."
The art group consisted of two teachers, one Fine Arts graduate, and five IB Visual Art graduates.
IB Visual Art graduate Mark Chong said that his work was a reflection of his personality.
He added: "My artworks are often blunt and naturally convey an atmosphere of melancholy. I've taken influences from pop culture and the era that I live in; from the grim, foreboding atmospheres of horror films to the narrative and compelling stories of contemporary novels and comics."
He added: "The works are not only a chronicle of the rocky road taken from teenage to adulthood but also an insight into personal fears unbounded by age, class or race."
Adam Hanif was one who was not bounded by the limit of his abilities.
He said: "The artworks that I've done during my years in the International Baccalaureate course have been a journey based around my personality, lifestyle, events and influences that affected me in changes; a time of self discovery as it synchronises with my maturing age. By using photography as my most skilled medium, I am able to convey my perceptions of anything I encounter."
Ayeshah Ahmad's passion and belief for art helped her greatly in exploring and portraying her expressions, while taking a look at society as well as her inner self.
"Over the 18 months of doing the International Baccalaureate course, I have come to develop artworks mostly involving people around me and the different ways that they are perceived."
Art does not limit itself to capturing beauty; it is also about personal experiences and accounts of the artists themselves. Artist Isa chose to portray his emotions in the form of a sculpture personifying the negatives found in his life and displaying it for all to see.
Others, such as Khalisa Ahmad, chose to portray the subtle beauties that no one would ever notice with the naked eye. Her works of floral sketches is unique with detailed precision of intricate lines giving more depth and elegance in what people would normally see as a simple flower.
Jason Chung is an art teacher who graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) with a degree in art (fashion).
The former St Michael School student said that his passion for designing never ceased throughout his time managing his family's business. He has now found a way to express his love for art through imparting knowledge and experience as an art teacher.
The artwork he displayed at the exhibition showed his passion for fashion and love for art merged as one.
Ben Peacocke an art teacher for nine years in the Sultanate with a degree in Art Education had messages in his work, such as "A place in the sun", "But are you happy?" and "Primate" — all addressing the greed many have to make and spend money.
The "9 faces of heaven" is simply a celebration of nine Year 11 ISB girls that he had taught for the past five years and who reminded him of why he enjoyed teaching.
Clearly, art is not just a drawing, a picture or even a slab of material. It is part of who the artist is.

Masks....
Let's see how this goes.. with the current rise and threat of th H1N1 virus now in Brunei are we going to see people wearing these protective masks??
The answer would most probbly be yes but the real question is will it really help or is it just for show?
As i know that i am and probably most of the people here in Brunei are creatures of habits.
As seen above buying food expose to the open air that we are so afraid of so what's the point?
Even we do wear mask it'll just be another fad.. (reason here-->)especially if it is made compulsory in schools which is a highly splendid idea.. but if we don't change our habits and really follow the steps and precautions given to us by the MOH
Wearing a mask just wont cut it...
Especially if we still cant refrain ourselves from attending certain events and disregard certain procedures such as the newly introduced self quarantine.
I will end this post with a cliche' it is still significant
"We could only help to make a change If we change ourselves.."
(I based my arguments on general knowledge and i would like to state this is my own personal views and indeed have no intention in criticising any certain party as clearly stated in the contents above i myself have not taken any extra precautions as i was the one taking the pictures thus contradiciting with my own views that is why it will be labelled under ramblings)
Freeze!!!
Social experiment 'Freeze' a hit amongst the youths

THE public saw something unexpected on Sunday at The Mall. What they saw was something to behold, people walking and suddenly freezing in suspended animation.
The event was organised by a group of young people with a vision who call themselves "SomethingToDoWithBeans". Their objective was to provoke the minds of the public.
This random act of street performance arts is open to the general public's own interpretation. The whole public display of expression was the brain child of the initial five founders.
"We wanted to introduce Brunei to something different, a form of performance art and see the reaction given by the public," said Ben Stone, one of the founders, in an interview with The Brunei Times.
" It was our own private social experiment," he added.
What was more amazing was the huge number of volunteers who actually participated.
In just a short period of time (two weeks), more than a hundred people attended the briefing held at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Gadong and participated in the public display of self expression.
This was made possible with the use of the Internet especially social networking sites such as Facebook as well as the increasingly popular Twitter.
"We just invited close friends and the whole thing spread like wild fire,"said Ben.
Some of the participants informed the organisers that they heard about the event through forwarded emails, word of mouth and forwarded invites from Facebook which reached the people of Brunei all around the four districts.
Initially, the whole set up was organised out of the curiosity of the group wondering how people would react? Who would participate in such an extreme public display?
At the event, the volunteers spread themselves out around the target venue, in this case, the ground floor of The Mall and froze for a period of five minutes precisely at 3:20pm.
At that exact moment, groups of people (non-participants) crowded the human statues some taking pictures of the different poses and some actually recorded the whole thing which can be seen on another popular site YouTube—the official video is still in the editing process and will be uploaded once completed.
The group initially predicted that the number of participation would be roughly around 20 to 40 but the turn up on the day itself was beyond their expectation. Almost 200 people showed up comprising mostly of youths.
"Even senior citizens (joined)! I was surprised with the warm reception we got," said Ben.
As for the initial objective of the event, it quickly developed into something more than just a random act of public performance.
A group of participants took the opportunity to spread the H1N1 awareness by donning on protective masks and in their "freeze pose" displaying a sign that read " H1N1 Help Us!".
With that notion more and more volunteers suggested ideas and supported the group for organising the whole unique event.
"Other groups sometimes focus on only talking but we emphasise more on action and with the suggestions and response from the volunteers who participated in the mass display of public expression (and in a way a bit of performing arts), we will organise another unexpected activity so look out for updates soon," said Ben.
