Today, we all mourn for the passing of a legendary icon.
Michael Joseph Jackson.
My heart dropped when I opened Yahoo! as I came into the office, and saw the news about the cardiac arrest of Michael.
Him being officially dead. I swear for a moment that I could not digest the news.
I never realised how much Michael’s passing would impact on me.
His music ‘Heal the World’ played out of the shuffle mode in my MP3 playlist in the office now.
And damn, I just teared. No kidding!
I could not even explain my own feelings here.
I love his music. I grew up as a kid with it.
He inspire me much. Trying to narrow the gap between blacks and whites, and all the other races altogether.
That the world should just try to love each other, regardless of color.
I grew up to be very different with the community that I was brought up with, including my family.
You can call me the ‘black sheep’ somehow.
I am one with lotsa friends from all walks of life, all colors.
And because of that, perhaps I am perceived to be too liberal among my community and family.
My first boyfriend of 3 years is a Chinese, which at a point already caused a lil difficulty in my parents accepting it at first.
Came to a point where I was at my darkest period in life.
And came a man who pulled me up again on my feet.
And he’s black.
I tell myself somehow, at first, never fall for that person, coz I was somehow concerned over my parents’ acceptance.
But I still did.
To break the news to my parents then, wasnt the easiest thing I swear, but somehow we manage to convince them a lil. Gosh, we literally went through so much together… I shall not need to depict that again here.
Those who already know me, and read through my past blogs. Would know a period of time that I am just about to give up on life.
Circumstances has put us away, and led me to make foolish decisions. I must say that period I was in a battle with myself growing up to maturity.
I love that man. I will never forget the man who breathed air into me again then.
But look at it positively now, our separation has led to better learning in life for both of us. I have grown to be more mature in handling life, and he has got his career on track in Poland. I believed things always happen for a reason.
I love my parents alot, trust me. As much as the peeves sometimes I attain coz I am no way the same as their level of thinking on lotsa things. This oldest daughter of theirs just have her own set of thinking somehow.
And I love my younger siblings. I am very much protective of my younger siblings. Hurt them and you would see the worst of me that you never wanna see.
Anyway, back to Michael Jackson, he was a victim of the gist and glamor of a pop icon. The media that brought him up, also brings him down to naught.
That man accused of the child molest. He was never charged. We all never knew the truth. But it’s somehow bloody clear how these people are after the money.
He has set up Neverland. Kids play and sleep at his home for no charge. Kids love him. He donated so much to charities and humanatarian work.
But definitely the adults have more ulterior motive against him.
I think he is just a misunderstood person. Just because he’s different.
Fine, he had too much cosmetic surgeries gone wrong. But it’s entirely his body and he has the right to do whatever he freaking wants! He’s on the same level with those porn stars with the excessive boob jobs and botox!
I just really think he was a good human being. He has influenced the world, through his music.
RIP, the King of Pop.
You will be missed.
