So its been a year. I remember this morning vividly! -_-

sms from lea, checking twitter and double confirm with CNN.

Here’s to always remembering his awesome music.

My all time fave, Rock With You, by Michael Jackson

RIP Uncle Ben

He was my Sunday School Confirmation teacher and the spiritual adviser for YAC. He and Aunty Margaret, together with Aunty Sheila and the others def made an impact in my life and more importantly, my faith. Great man he is and may he rest in peace with God. My faith in God will not be the same, if it wasn’t for my confirmation class and what I gained and learned from them.

Aunty Margaret was so pulled together at the wake. She and Uncle Ben was inseparable! Wish her well.

I miss my fellowship with YAC. Gathering soon?

Teez, my dog, AKA Timtam boy is sick!

He was whining in the morning this past few days, I know because I wake up at 630am cos he whines so loud. So this morning, I googled, at 630am “why do dogs whine?” and they said, that they might be seeking attention or might be sick. Then I got worried

At first I just thought, nahh, he just manja la. Making noise for attention. So tonight I came home. My mum’s asleep, dad went out, bro’s not back yet, I was petting him while watching TV. Tired already, so I stopped. He started licking my hands. I mean, usually he does that, but this time, was excessively! I pet again, then he ok. When I stopped, he started licking my hand and you know, put his head on my hand, lick lick lick until sampai my elbow when I let him lick. -_- damn gross, but omg, it struck me.

He’s trying to tell me he’s sick!!!!

He was trying to tell us for a few days already… Then I checked him thoroughly. See what’s wrong, then I saw his eye. Got like an infection on it. I googled the symptoms of an eye infection. And tada, it matched

What are the Symptoms of an Eye Infection in a Dog?(Source)

A dog with an eye infection will show several symptoms, including the following signs which can affect one or both eyes:

• Eye discharge – In a dog with an eye infection, discharge is often thick and yellow or greenish in color.
• Red, swollen eyes – In the case of an eye infection, the eyelids and area around the dog’s eye will often become swollen and red.
• Bloodshot eyes – The dogs eyes may become bloodshot if an infection is present.
• Squinting – Dogs will often squint if they have developed an eye infection.
• Pawing the eye – A dog with an eye infection may paw at the affected eye.

So, on Monday I had this really LONG day in the sun. When I came home, my body broke down. like really. cannot take it. it was hurting and I took Panadol to sleep.

Then the next day. I already felt I was going to get sick. But I went to work anyways, as we had much to do for the next day. Another event. So I stuck paper into files, burnt CD’s till about 7pm. Then as I was driving home (It HAD TO rain lah!!) in a very long jam, my body was heating up already.

Then, went home. popped into bed and then it started. My fever. It was 38. Took Panadol and slept. Morning, it was 39!! wahh. so hot my gosh. I couldn’t sleep at all. twist and turn twist and turn. Of course, I’d miss my event. so sad. been looking forward to this event.

So the whole day I slept. sweat. slept. sweat. slept.

Then went to see doc in the evening. He said I’d have to check for Ah1n1 in 2 days if my fever persist and I don’t get well

its been so long since I’ve gotten sick. Don’t like how I feel at every moment.

Anyways, I have been wanting to join this contest for the longest time!

Thank you for your music, your humanitarian charity work, your childlike persona, your dream of making this world a better place, your constant plea to go green since before it was ever cool to be green now, your performances….everything else.

You’ve been a great inspiration and source of life for so many. You’ve been part of my life and I thank God for having me in the same era as you are in. Because then, I got to know the King of Pop..

The one who made a difference and made the world not care about whether they’re black or white. The one true LEGEND, king of Pop.

Stayed up tonight to watch the memorial. Seeing the casket being brought up to the middle of the stage by the Jackson brothers and the choir at the background, omg, so tear jerking already.

Even in his funeral, he had to go with a gold extravagant casket which really shows how extravagant his life was! Well suited for the King, I must say…

It was heartwarming listening to all the eulogies and music that were presented on the show. Brooke Shields made me tear……usher’s performance was also tear jerking…Until Marlon Jackson started talking….so emo already…..then when Paris Jackson said those last few words at the memorial, I couldn’t tahan anymore. Tears just rolled. nose clogged up.

Michael Jackson, you’ll be missed. I will share your music to my children and I hope they see you the way the world sees you today.

emo experience, but totally worth the staying up. You should watch it too.

Here in Malaysia and if you have ASTRO, watch the Michael Jackson memorial tribute repeats:

• 8am, 9pm on Channel [V]
• Now, 4am, 240pm, 610pm,930pm, 11.10pm on E!

I think 8tv is repeating at night also, at 10ish pm…

I should go sleep now, as watching the repeats/CNN makes me sad even more

I love this picture of him. So cute!

So this morning, I woke up to an annoying sms and 2 really sad smses.

“omg, michael Jackson died” – Lea

I’m like, all blurry eyed, rubbing eyes open browser and twitter, straightaway, the news got confirmed!

My reaction straightaway went from shocked to sad. I was looking forward to his comeback tour and Asia was in his itenary. I told my brother, I would beg borrow and steal to go watch him.

Michael Jackson IS and ALWAYS BE the King of Pop. He made so many awesome songs and songs which you can still remember until the day you die. He made awesome videos which have so much story and changed so many people’s lives.

Jackson 5

MJ with a dog..

and tiger!

The whole day I was listening to Michael Jackson’s songs. All the ballads made me all emo and teary eyed. It is such a sad news for a friday morning. I switch on CNN to triple confirm and so it was true. I don’t know him personally, but I think he’s an entertainer who has made a difference in pop music and his music is part of my life.

So screw you or whoever who thinks Michael Jackson dying has nothing to do with me, because it does and I am saddened by the news okay! Also to all you haters out there, nose jokes now is just plain disrespectful! He is an ICON and should be respected!

I remember when I was young, Thriller used to scare the shit outta me. My brother would threaten to play the song and I’d climb every table and chair to switch off the cassette player! haha.

A not so scary thriller picture! hahaha. Can’t put the scary one. Still get chills!

We had his cassette mostly. As in the 90′s CD’s were so mahal. We listened to his songs as we were growing up.We had videos of his History album. I remember watching people cry as his statue was launched/shown.

He was such an icon that we even played his video game on Nintendo. Funny I tell you, how he walked and held his crotch and it was the Smooth Criminal video. lols.The game’s aim was suppose to be like killing all the bad people, like in the video. He wore the exact white outfit. lols.

He came down in 1997 to Malaysia. I remember we begged our parents to take us there. But they didn’t as we had exams. DAMN YOU EXAMS!!! GAH! Because of exams I missed the legend’s concert here in KL. We were so devastated. haihs. sad sad.

Crotch holding, his fav past time:)

His dance moves were ICONIC. He practically inspired all the other artists to dance like him. Moonwalk? omg such lagendary move. Melody, a friend of mine, wondered if he is now teaching the angels in Heaven how to moonwalk! hahaha. Good one!

“Heal the World” was a song we sang like all the time in choir. I remember in form 1/2 we sand with our class. Had so much fun with my classmates and of course, singing this song was also my favourite as it is so meaningful and the melody is inspiring. Michael taught us to go green way before going green was cool!

I never thought Michael Jackson would pass on so fast! I mean, he was only 50! I feel sad for my children who will never get to live in the same era as Michael did. I hope his family is doing well and his music will always live on in many of our hearts!

I heart you MJ!

Michael Jackson

RIP 1958-2009
