-- monster war!

I just came back from the Michael Jackson tribute at 1 Utama at 7 PM! There was a lot of people there, so thank God Sarah and Rachel went there early. There were some seats, but not a lot, so I sat between Sarah and Rachel's chairs while my mum, two maids, and brothers went off who knows where (they stayed around for a while, then went to eat, then came back and sat on the floor in front to watch).

They showed a video called "Michael Jackson Ones" or something that hasn't been shown/released in Malaysia, and some of his music videos (awesome). Then they had some Malaysian MJ impersonators perform onstage, and some people came up to sing a song or dance to Michael Jackson.

There was a big board where we could write stuff on that they were going to send to America. To Michael's family, I think. And also a condolence book. While we were lining up to sign both of those, these two guys from 8TV came and "interviewed" us! They asked us how we found out about MJ's death (Sarah answered that), how we felt (me), what MJ means to us (Aunty Linda and Sean answered) and if we had any last words to say. We said, "We love you Michael" at the same time. Then we signed the book and the board.

Then people gave out candles in cups and we lit them, and they started playing Michael's songs and we held up the candles while singing along. It was so sad la. I can't believe we've lost a pop legend. I mean like, Michael Jackson -- there's no one like him.

They started playing his music videos again, but I had to leave by that time (about 10 PM) coz Jia Wei was getting sleepy (darn!).

Arghh! I feel so bad that I only started liking MJ after he died. I really wish I could have gone to one of his concerts! It would have been amazing. :( Coz actually, his songs are nice. I like Black or White, Billie Jean, Beat It, We are the World, Remember the Time, etc.

R.I.P. Michael.
