A TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON

1. I've just watched the news about the passing away of Michael Jackson for an hour. I flip-flop between CNN and BBC. It is shocking and like many, I couldn't believe it the first time I read about it.
   
   
2. I always refer myself to be raised in the Michael Jackson's era. His greatest album and one of the greatest in the world - Thriller released in 1982 with songs like Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller really revolutionise the way we look at things and how we perceived the world. Correct me if I'm wrong, Michael won multi platinum Emmy Awards in 1984 which was shown in the Malaysian TV (I remember it because I was with my family expecting my elder sister's first daughter - my first niece in Miri, Sarawak).
   
   
3. During school days, me and my buddy, Harith Harun (where the hell are you now, bro?) would sing `THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL' every time beautiful girls passes our class room (of course not during studying period). You know the words... the way you make me feel, you're really turned me on... And that's the only 2 lines that matters and it would be repeated over and over again until the girl left - with disguse!.
   
   
4. In the 90s, when Michael toured Asia and performed in Bangkok, my brother passed me Michael's shirt which was a present from his gf then. I wore it nonchalantly, until he teased me of wearing an image of a child molester. Well, this is one peculiar segment in Michael's short life. I'm not even want to touch about he's supposedly conversion into Islam. Just let him be.
   
   
5. I will remember Michael as a great artist, great performer who has brought magic into my generation. Rest In Peace, Jacko.
