What a Tribute!


I didn't really get to watch the recent 2010 Grammy Awards in full because I just don't know what happen to my Astro's Starworld channel - poor signal that day (shucks!). But anyways, thanks to Youtube:) The best part is to watch the performance of 'The Earth Song' by Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson & Usher in 3D for the first time at the Grammys and of course watching the beautiful tribute for MJ by his kids, Prince Michael and Paris and to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their daddy. Although it was short but touching. Watch this:


"Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity.
Through all his hard work and dedication, he has helped through many charities and donated to all of them.
Through all his songs, the message was simple: love.
We will continue to spread his message and help the world.
Thank you.
We love you Daddy." -Prince Michael Jackson


'The Earth Song' performance (I wish I could sing this song up there with them...haha in my dreams lah)


Start now - share your love and help heal the world!

MJ's This Is It



A friend & also an MJ's fan, Kim and I had already purchase our tickets to watch MJ's 'This Is It' movie at the end of this month. In Sabah, the movie will be on theaters starting 29 Oct. But shucks! Suddenly my company's event which was scheduled to be held on 28 Oct will be rescheduled on 30 Oct (the movie day) as to coincide with another Budget Talk. Today, I'll try to check with the cinema staff if we can change the tickets to another date. Both of us look so forward to this show. And the new unreleased song 'This Is It' is great too..despite the controversy behind it. For more details, check out this video and here - MJ's official website.

Banging & Spining around

These two songs from the Jacksons 5 kept banging and spining around in my head at all times...I even sing or hum to its tunes whenever I'm in the shower. Just can't get enough of the Jacksons 5 songs...I just love them and Motown music! But these 2 songs are my ultimate favorites.

Goodbye to MJ

It was silly of me yesterday afternoon - for being confused of the time for the actual live coverage of MJ's Memorial Service both at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood and at the LA Staples Center. Mostly live interviews and remembering his extravagant life was aired online yesterday afternoon. But I did stayed up very late from 1am - 3am this morning to watch the ceremony live on E! It was pretty touching and I was in tears as well.


Michael Jackson's brothers carried the singer's gold-trimmed casket into the Staples Center sports arena in downtown Los Angeles for the memorial, the same place where Jackson rehearsed the day before his death for a highly-anticipated comeback tour.


The Memorial Service ended with MJ's daughter, Paris Jackson giving a very short speech "Ever since I was born, daddy was the best father you could have imagine" & crying "I love him so much" - just emotionally beautiful to watch.

Right now I'm lack of sleep but that's ok - since our office pantry is out of coffee, sipping tea is good enough.



Gone To Soon
Music by Larry Grossman
Lyrics by Buz Kohan ("Buzzie Wuzzie")

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon


This could be sort of my last tribute to MJ in here. Good bye Michael - we'll meet someday in Heaven!

Rest In Peace MJ!



MJ's Memorial Service was held today at the Los Angeles Staples Center at about 12 noon LA time & at about 1am M'sian time. But Shucks! Trying to watch it live online but the net was damned slow this afternoon - just to watch some live interviews and to remember how great MJ was. I guess millions of MJ fans are also watching the ceremony live online as well. I can't even view it through CNN & FB. Anyways, I'll watch it on E! tonight.



Macam-macam terjadilah (strange happenings) after MJ's death...such as this story which gave everyone goosebumps. Extracted out the article from the net and it's even on U-Tube already - see/read of 'MJ's Ghost' below.


"Michael Jackson loved publicity while he was alive, maybe the same is true now he’s dead.
The video shows a sequence filmed during CNN’s Inside Neverland program. The show took a look at the life of Michael Jackson, and included an interview with his brother Jermaine, as well as a tour around Neverland itself.
When the camera takes a look down one of the long corridors in Jacko’s private quarters, there’s a shot of what looks like a ghostly figure walking across it. Could it be Michael Jackson, come back as a ghost to tell us he’s OK?
Probably not. I do believe ghosts exist but it seems more likely this is just a trick of the light caught on camera. The apparition is probably nothing more than a member of the crew shooting the piece casting a shadow as they move.
However, I suppose it cannot be ruled out completely that this is Michael Jackson’s ghost. Stranger things have happened, such as prisoners dancing a Jacko tribute and the Queen of England’s guards playing a version of Thriller outside Buckingham Palace."


Michael, you are not alone now, you are in Heaven with God and Jesus while being surrounded with beautiful happy angels. Probably you'll meet Elvis Presley up there too.



"You Are Not Alone" Written and composed by R Kelly.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

All alone,
'Why, oh

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone.


Just love this video - it keeps playing on my mind till now!



Now rest in peace Michael!

No one understand him so well...

I was in tears when I watched this video - 'Have You Seen My Childhood', wrote, composed, produced and sang by Michael Jackson (from my personal MJ Music & Video Collections) and I thought of sharing how I love this song and the lyrics is just so touching & beautiful! I can feel the pain that MJ went through during his childhood. It seems like no one can and try to understand him that well. This month, you'll see me giving/sharing lots of personal tributes to the King of Pop through his amazing music and videos - so I hope you can bear with me or simply don't care.



Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates and adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
For the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood....


In his last interview he said if his fans had any questions about him, they just need to watch and listen to this song. People/fans has overlooked Michael Jackson's dark side - interesting read here.

Although he's gone now but he will always be in the HEARTS of all his fans and the people who loved him! I'm now looking forward to watch MJ's memorial ceremony this Tuesday - which will be aired live by NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC & E! Entertainment, set for 10am, (PDT 1700 GMT)at the Los Angeles Staples Center. For M'sian time, I think it will be in the evening. I'll be watching it on E!

My Personal Tribute to MJ



The song 'You Are My Life' is one of my fav MJ song ballad and I wanted to play it during my wedding reception in 2003 but not jadi. It's such a romantic song but I cried watching this fan-made video of MJ with this song - it's just too sad.


You Are My Life (from MJ's Invincible album)

Once all alone
I was lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
You suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it’s clear
You took away the fear
You brought me back to life

[CHORUS]
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You’re my daytime my nighttime
My world
You’re my life

Now I wake up everyday
With this smile upon my face
No more tears, no more pain
‘Cause you love me
You help me understand
That love is the answer to all that I am
And I’m a better man
You taught me by sharing your love

[CHORUS]

You gave me strength
When I wasn’t strong
You gave me hope when all hope is lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn’t see
Love was always here waiting for me


I penned a simple poem for MJ last night and maybe might turn it into a short song with no chorus (ha!). I tried a little bit of the melody on the piano this morning....It will be lovely and soft. I'm not that good so don't laugh ya but feel free to comment. Here goes...



A Poem/Song for Michael Jackson

Like an angel
Such a gentle and loving soul
Like a light
Shining through a hole
Giving hope to all the world
You bring happiness and love within

Just 50 and you're gone too soon
So unforgetable and irreplaceable
You've done so many so much
with love and full grace spirit
Just can't believe
You are here no longer

But remember...
You are not alone
The good Lord is with you
Now beside you in a place called
Heaven...
I see your smile now
May your soul rest in peace.

By Mama Rock/Donna, 2 July 2009.

Tadaa...that's all. Now I have all his songs and music videos as one of my precious collection.


If I ever meet him in person before - I think he's truly charming. I love that smile. Now I wanna learn how to do the Moonwalk. MJ legacy will live on forever! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL - 1958-2009 R.I.P!

Now I will have a good weekend - so happy weekend everyone!
