michael jackson n I

When i woke up this morning, my mobile phone stated i have 8 unread messages and a missed call from my Grandma. all of the messages were about Michael Jackson being dead. i called my Grandma, and after saying "Good morning sayang" she also updated me on the shocking news.

Everybody have their own Michael Jackson stories. Mine is...a vague memory of watching tv after an afternoon nap. There was this person, with shoulder length curly hair in funny clothing, singing and dancing these crazy moves. I asked Mama whether it was a woman? She said the eccentric guy is Michael Jackson. I remember saying to myself, i wanna marry that guy.

This is my favorite outfit of Michael's


Now, that was even before i turn 10 years old. Over these years i listened to his songs n heard the gossips, rumours, news about him. I wasn't a fan of his that would go and strangle the people who said the bad things about MJ nor was i the type that would buy a red jacket and have my hair curled like his, but i was a fan nontheless. His songs, his voice n ability to dance those awesome moves...awesome!! Waking up to the news of his demise, it felt awfully surreal. but it was true.



I'm seeing and hearing Michael everywhere today. online, facebook, youtube, yahoo, msn, kennysia, on tv, on the radio, in my car...the radio stations were playing his songs today, it's MJ marathon on the radio. even CNN, BBC, etc were covering about him..there was a THS (True Hollywood Story) for Oprah (says Astro's Guide) that aired "THS: Michael Jackson" instead.

I am going to miss seeing him and his slightly over the top jackets, his surprisingly soft voice, and i cannot help but cringe to the thought of never again introduced to new songs of his.

We will miss you Michael! may Allah bless your soul.
