R.I.P. Michael Jackson - The Icon, The Legend

as usual, i woke up, the first thing i'd do is to turn on the radio while i prepare myself for work.. the sound was soft.. i tot i heard it wrongly.. king of pop, passed away at the age of 50.. while getting ready, i waited for the 8am news on radio... yup... Michael Jackson was gone...

gosh.. we all grew up listening to his songs, watching him do his moves, breakdancing, moonwalk..

there were a lot of negative issues but it was no doubt he was an icon to the music industry and certainly a legend!

i still can remember when i was in kindergarten, teachers would make us sing 'We are the world, we are the children~'.. and how i used to sit in front of tv watching the MV of 'Billy Jean' where the pavement lights on when he walks on it and also the scary 'Thriller'...

i used to be a fan of his when his album 'Dangerous' was out.. a relative brought me to this event where Pepsi organized the Michael Jackson Dangerous dancing competition.. i was nuts over him then.. prolly oso bcoz it was then i found out his bday was juz 2 days after mine.. when he came for his world tour concert in 1996, i wanted to go.. but parents said i was too young.. sigh... there goes the legend....
