i thought michael jackson would live forever.
my fondest memory of michael jackson was how my cousins and i would fight over to play his video arcade game; moonwalker in genting. Each time the family make their way to genting for holidays, the four of us would fight to play and hurdle around the video arcade machine. I have no idea why we were so crazy over the game. I guess there was magic in those dance moves made as his special powers in the video game - the moonwalk, him spinning and then with that signature pose, his hand pointing in the air and he goes "Ow".
I grew up listening to his songs, especially the "Dangerous" album which i still have it and the CD is quite scratched. The scratches indicate how often the CD was played. It is really strange that this day would have come so fast. I mean i thought he would live forever like die at an old age but nope, he died at the age of 50 when he was planning a comeback. If i could go for concert, i just might. I remembered my uncle went for his concert in Singapore at national stadium and complained how small MJ was on stage because he sat really far. I thought to myself then, if i could, i would attend the concert as well. He was the first singer i knew when it comes to english songs before I started listening to more english songs. With his passing, i suppose there won't be anyone would enjoy a success as huge as or create as huge influence as he did.
I guess michael jackson now is living forever, in his music; in our hearts.
you know, with mj's passing, i realised only in death(not love), you would learn what forever means.
today's wedding that i've attended has confirmed what i thought to be - you'll always be the prettiest bride, even if you are ugly/not so attractive/plain jane on other normal days, you'll still be the prettiest bride on your wedding day. make sure you'll be good friends with your make-up artist because he/she would be responsible for making you beautiful on your wedding day.
