He's Gone....

He’s gone…MJ, the King of Pop is gone.
Received the news via FB this morning. First it was Farrah Fawcett and hours later it was the shocking news of MJ’s passing.

Michael Jackson is so synonym with the 80s and my days in UW – Madison. I remember queuing at a record store the moment his Thriller album was released. There were just a few left and I managed to get one of them. Both Abe and I have a few songs of his that hit us right in the heart. “Wanna be startin’ sumthing…wanna be startin’ sumthin” and the rest is HISTORY.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Muni,

Indeed he is. Very talented, no matter what others say about him, he's still THE Michael J.

I recall those hot summer days of listening to his songs. MTV release of his videos, the moonwalk and the sold out concerts. We sort of grew up with him eh?

What I cannot forget is the stunt MrZ did. Think is fresh in Jupe's mind too. Nasib baik tak pecah coffee table kat rumah kita di Spring Street tu kan :D

Dear All,

Sad, shocked and heart-wrenching, but this is all His doing. May Allah bless his soul and it be placed amongst those with iman. Ameen..

Aku tengah main netball, terus jadi tak tentu arah when got the news. My favourite is Man in the Mirror. RIP MJ. You will be missed.
