One month ago…. he passed away on the 25th June 2009.
When I heard the news – I was shocked, later sad but after that happy for him…
Shocked – The King of pop is dead ? So sudden.
Sad – The world has lost one of the best entertainer.
Relieved / Happy – for him… finally…he can rest in peace.
As usual, when I need the “push” to work (during peak) I’ll listen to “hot” songs – some includes Michael’s. In fact, just the other day, I recalled the conversation with DJ Orlando during our last year’s peak – “No Michael Jackson’s song meh?” I asked. He said, “No lah, you want ….beat it…. beat it…?” and laughed teasingly…
I was born in the 70’s. During my school years in the 80’s, everyone know and love MJ’s famous songs. Those youngsters born in the 80’s are still in their diapers when we were happily listening and singing along to “Beat It” and “Billie Jean”. What do they (the babies in diapers) know? Do you know that at Standard 3, I can and love to sing “Beat It”. I not only sang it in the bathroom but also in the bus on the way home from school (standing by the window, enjoying the breeze and letting the wind ‘blow the song away’). Ha ha ha... those were the days. A secondary school ‘kakak’ even praised me – “Wah, you pandai nyanyi ya”. Ha ha ha. Memories…
He was such a great singer, dancer, artist… a great entertainer. He has a great voice, he can dance so well, he has so many ideas to entertain his audience. He is really one of a kind.
He wrote and sang some meaningful songs. If you really listen to the lyrics – you’ll understand what I mean. He really communicates through his songs. Also, when he sings them - he sings from HIS HEART.

Heard of “Heal the World”? It is so famous that it is impossible not to know the song.
I am glad I had the chance to be in Michael Jackson’s “era” – especially the bad and thriller era.
I’ll definitely remember him and his music.
Though I am too young when he first sang the song …. One Day In Your Life……in the 70’s and only first heard of it years later, I instantly fell in love with it….
Hope you’ll enjoy it too… listen to it here….

One day in your life
you'll remember a place
Someone's touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...
One day in your life
When you find that you're always longing
for the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
(Ohh...)
