"Another day has gone~"
I was awake at 640am on 25th June 2009 when I heard a voice on CNA reading out " The King of Pop, Michael Jackson is reported to be dead." Shock was soon accompanied by grief as 15 minutes later, all major television networks in US confirmed that MJ had indeed left us.
I was 7 when I came across MJ. Watching him on my grandpa's tv, he mesmerized me with his dance moves and that unique aura. At that point, I know I am a fan. Of course, I thought he's a white, until I watched his Thriller MTV. (though I thought he might be a zombie too).
I even went as far as borrowing the Sega Moonwalker game from my Primary 6 friend just to realise that it was not compatible with my set. Fortunately, I managed to find an adapter and I spent days playing the game.
Throughout the years, MJ had been entertaining the masses with his moonwalks, crotch grabs, pelvic thrusts and of course, his songs. Yes, he was indeed controversial, but honestly, who cares? He was controversial because he is the King of Pop, and do you think anyone cares if you or me slept with children, went for plastic surgery, bought the remains of the Elephant Man?
Michael, thanks for making my childhood colorful, despite having an unhappy one for yourself. You've rocked my world, and last but not least, I will miss you dearly.
You are legend.
