"You don't know what you've got until it's gone. "
Everyone should have heard of the death of Michael Jackson by now. If you have not, God bless you! You must be a really sad person who is deprived of entertainment and human contact. I am not exactly a hardcore fan of MJ nor do I listen to his song. Okay, I'll be very honest. If it wasn't because of his death, we wouldn't be listening to his songs on the radio channels. I wouldn't log on to Youtube and start searching for MJ's songs. I wouldn't even have given MJ some thought on an ordinary day what more listening to his songs. I'm actually disappointed with myself for not giving his songs a chance, for not giving MJ a chance. Underneath the artificial face is probably a real black man with feelings who truly cares for the welfare of troubled kids. What frustrates me the most is that why now? Why do I only see this now? Why is it that the world only see this side of him now when he is already dead? Why listen to his songs now but not before this? I guess it all balls down to the statement above. "You don't know what you've got until it's gone." True enough, right? Taking things for granted, taking your loved ones for granted. We're only humans.. I'm still figuring out how to be contented and not to take anything for granted. Michael Jackson is like a reminder to myself to appreciate my family and friends around me. Especially my grandfather whom will eventually leave me behind. For this, I would like to thank you, Michael Jackson for shedding some light and of course (!) , discovering pop music and the ever-so-famous-move, the moonwalk.
P/S: Finally a post after a month, huh? There were a lot to blog about in this one month but I guess I was too lazy to (?) I apologise for that. In the mean time, I'm trying to bond with Bio since I scored a C for mid year. See! I wasn't kidding about screwing Bio kau kau. Anyone out there that can knock some Bio in me? :D
