Goodbye MJ, Goodbye the King of Pop
Goodbye Michael Jackson, goodbye, the King of Pop.
I had a shock on Friday when my mother told me of the news of MJ's departure. It was so sudden I didn't even know how to react.
Memories of my childhood came back to me. I remember fighting over the casette tape of Bad and Dangerous with my brother. I also remember listening to his tapes all day long, hearing him belt out numbers like Bad, Thriller, Black or White and Heal The World. Everyone was into MJ in those days and it included children like us. Young as we were, we knew how to sing his songs and that knowledge remains in me until this day.
We were so into MJ I remember my brother and I playing a MJ arcade game at Genting Highlands. Somehow or other as we grew up, the MJ fanatic in us died down but I always remembered the King of Pop.
Just a year before or so, I showed a younger cousin of mine who was not born into the MJ era a Youtube clip of the legendary Moonwalk. At that time, I was marvelling at how smooth his moonwalk was and that nobody could ever take his place as the King of Pop. His slick dance moves stay etched in my mind after all these years.
Who can forget his music videos. I vaguely remember Bad and Thriller, but who can forget Scream, the most expensive video in history? For many years, I was seeing this video top the list on Most Expensive Videos on MTV.
Then came all the bad publicity. Child molestation, the infamous Neverland and what not only increased his appearance in the media. For people like me, I was grieving the fall of the King of Pop and was inwardly sighing how fame could have corrupted a person.
I actually wished that he will not release another album again. I was afraid it would become a failure it would taint his reputation. I wanted to be left with the best from the King. However, I certainly did not hope he would leave behind his legacy like that.
Time will pass and people will probably forget about MJ. But I know I never will.
There is just one word to describe him.
Legendary.
Goodbye Michael Jackson.
Goodbye the King of Pop.

What hurts the most
Most of the time, people hurt others with clear intent. It may be painful for a while, but knowing it was on purpose makes it easier to get on with. What hurts the most if when people hurt others without knowing how much pain they are causing.
Not knowing what they are causing others and happily go on like nothing ever happened, the hurt is even more intense. If only they knew. But even if they knew, would it change anything?
Yes, things would change, but not in a good way. The relationship would now become awkward and in time, look all superficial and hypocritical.
Relationships are fragile and easily broken. After going through so much, I wish that relationships were not so important in this world. AS-syndrome would seem normal to me now, seeing how much pain can come out of relations.

It is all about superficiality and money
I wonder if the world is made up of these same things, superficiality and money. Everything is money, money, money. What is loyalty? Not even worth a dime, or should I say, a cent, if it makes it easier to understand.
Cristiano Ronaldo happily waved goodbye to Man U for Real after a world record bid. All that nonsense about him staying with Man U and become another Giggs. I knew from a long time ago his loyalty wasn't with Man U. I knew it. I kind of expected this to happen, only not that fast. To be frank, I wasn't a single bit surprised. He has finally shed the angelic mask he put on all this time while salivating for the offer from Real. Fergie groomed him from a relatively unknown player then to a superstar today. What loyalty is there? Just superficiality and money.
I am kind of glad he is gone. Apparently he doesn't show much respect to Fergie. Fergie is the one that keeps the club going, disciplining his players and letting them grow up to become better players and better men. I hope he also doesn't forget that players that move from Man U to Real at the prime of their careers do NOT do well later. With his eye for money and pretty women, I can pretty much imagine what will happen down the road. Man U now has 80m for new players and I daresay they are going to rebuild their team and make it much better than the one with him in it.
It saddens me to know that loyalty can be bought and some people view everything in financial terms. The magnitude may be different in the 2 cases, but I have to say that I am sorely disappointed. The big M drives the world as well as corrupts the world. I have seen my fair share of those being corrupted by money and I am tired. Very tired. One thing after another, and it all concerns money.
If loyalty and friendship can be bought with money, I rather not have any of those at all.

This world
I am starting to become afraid of this world. Very afraid. I know this world isn't such a simple place, but I wanted to believe some things are just strong enough to go against the tide.
My belief was shattered and now I stand, disappointed and afraid. For I have seen, with my very own eyes how people have fallen at the mercy of the hidden arms of sin of adulthood, tainted and soiled to the point beyond recognition.
I wonder why things have to turn out this way. How it came to this point is a mystery to me. All this while I believed some things will never change. This trust has been broken and the bond that holds the most important together is on the verge of damage beyond repair. Disappointment may be too meagre a word to describe it all. No matter what I do, I can't forget about it, and I think I never will.
I'm scared, because I have seen with my very eyes the tainted innocence. I'm scared that one day I will succumb to it all. When that day comes, won't it be hypocritical that I am writing this?
The only fortunate thing out of this is probably the fact that I have seen and experienced the undesirable so it will all act as a very important lesson for me. So that it serves as a reminder for me not to turn out that way. So that I will remember not to put my trust so easily in someone.
