Musical Extraordinaire, King of Pop, Michael Jackson

I guess most people of my age group especially in Malaysia and Singapore wouldn't connect with MJ's music.
We were born into an era of his contemporaries. Of Backstreet Boys and NSync and Usher and Black Eyed Peas and Green Day, Jay Chou, Wang Lee Hom, Mayday, JJ Lin and many many more.
We were born into an era of the beginning of his decline. I am sad that I never experienced his heyday. The 1980s days of Thriller and Bad or even the even earlier days of Motown and Jackson 5.
I read this Facebook post this afternoon of my friend thinking Michael Jackson had died some 10 years ago and wondering what was all the fuss about today. I was absolutely appalled by his nonchalent attitude towards this musical icon. He has done so much for the music industry, too much to mention. So much of what we are listening to today are imitations of his creative output. But then again, no blame on him as I guess we were born to late to taste the full package of The King of Pop.
Its odd for me that Michael Jackson has played such a significant part in my life. I remember tellling my friends that I enjoyed Michael Jackson and getting weird looks. I used to type Michael Jackson as one of my favourite artists under Friendster and Facebook.
I remember when I was much younger, I added this guy called Michael Jackson as my friend in ICQ. Never knewing if this was the real him or an impersonator. The innocent me even went as far as to send offline messages to him saying hi and introducing myself. His status was never online and he never replied my messages. Leaving me slightly disappointed.
In the days before Youtube, I used to buy those pirated VCDs of his music videos and concerts and for the first time in my life, I saw morbid fans screaming and crying and fainting during concerts.
From then, I kinda decided that I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to be famous and earn the adoration of so many people. Branching into music as a career.

Well, Michael Jackson, I hope that you will finally find peace in Heaven. Peace was never close to you when you were on Earth. Thank you for all your amazing and smashing creative output. Thank you for trying to Heal the World. Unite all Black and White. You rocked my world, you know you did. God bless ;-)

I can't get it out of my head

Big big thanks to meimei for drawing this for me. Haha... Oh and another big big thanks to Vui Yung for the Macs breakfast and accompanying me the whole morning.. Haha... (Sorry Mr X, borrow her for that morning) HAHAHAHA :P
Gosh, exciting times ahead... I'm rubbing my hands in glee and anticipation for Mr X.

Anyway, for some funny reason. These songs were replaying in my head over and over again the days I was in hospital.

Letting my thoughts be known through songs...

Weekend at the hospital

Well well well..
I'm back from the hospital after spending the weekend there.
It was rather exciting though. I guess it didn't really really that much on Friday until some idiot in the crowd mentioned something about amputation and that got me really scared. WALAO, I still want my toe!! No toe how to play soccer? Right toe some more. So I was like constantly wriggling my toe, make sure its still working.

Anyway, I learnt that the back of the ambulance actually has air con. Haha. Cos this cool wave of air hit me when they pushed me into ambulance.

Of course I would like to thank some people who showed so much care and concern over the period of time. So in no order of merit the Malaysian Scholars GANG, wah, ride bicycle to chase ambulance lah, argue with teacher about how to bandage me lah, telling me lame jokes lah, standing beside me and not making things any better la, you name it, they've done it. Haha. Thanks for making so much noise at the hospital and the Hokkien Mee though... Haha.. Though I had to chase this rowdy bunch of people away...
Of course to the hostel admin staff too. The teachers who came to visit me. The teachers who worried and fretted over me. The Mr Muscular dude. Haha. Aunty Linda and Aunty Stella too for all the concern and care and FOOD!!
To the brothers of Jar Jar Binks excluding LOW JI TENG...
To the mystery couple who visited me and gave me super sour green grapes (WHICH I FINISHED!!!) and red boxing gloves... ^_^ Haha...
To my family and last but not least the three guitar heros who came down to visit me despite their heavy mugging schedules. And Jenny, Geraldine who smsed. And Gomez and Bernard who also smsed.
WOOTS!! I'M AOKAY NOW!!!

Alive and kicking!!!
