I had been thinking about the subject of death lately. Might be linked to the recent demise of Micheal Jackson. Death usually occur in a sudden way. It will be nice if there were some ways to predict it. It will be nice to say goodbye to my loved ones before leaving them forever.
For example, would MJ still be rehearsing hard for his come back shows if he were to know that he was going to pass away on that fateful Tues night? What will you be doing if you know that you are going to leave this world soon?
Baby was playing Sims 3 at my home the other day. For the unknown, Sims 3 is a PC based game where you get to be a character and live a virtual life till you die. One thing that strike me was the sadness feel by her other half when he was the one left behind by the woman he loved the most.
All of a sudden, I felt frighten. What if the same was to happen to me? Would I have live the last moments with Baby differently?
That's why I am constantly reminding myself to be nice to my friends and loved ones. Life is real fragile. One can never predict when is the goodbye you just spoken be the last one heard by the other party.
I tried not to bear grudges now. In some way, age had mellow me. I am not as hot headed as before. I tried to appreciate all the little things in life. Things like a morning message from the lady of my life, a glass of water from mum, a message asking for a game of Dota from my friends, a simple dinner with my friends etc.
If I were to move on suddenly, I hope that it will be a celebration of my life. I do hope that I had made a difference in the lives of my friends. Hopefully, the difference is in a positive manner. If it is not to be, do forgive me. It is not easy to have played a part in someone's life when there are billions of people out there in this world.
Tears will definitely be shed. We are human after all. Death is a way frighten and engross me at the same time. Do we really go to heaven and join our loved ones or we have to go through the cycle of life again? I don't think we can ever get an answer.
Time for my bed. Just want to let all those who read this that I want to say a big thank you for being part of my life. Be it used to or an active role now. I give thanks for the blessing that I had gotten from all of you. Especially for Baby and my beloved Mum. For I will be nothing without her.

If you are living in planet Earth, I am quite sure that you would had read news that Micheal Jackson had passed on due to cardiac arrest. I was in shock on that morning when I read about the news on Channel News Asia. Sadness seep in after the initial shock as I had lost someone whom I idolized greatly when I was a child.
I remembering standing in awe in front of electronic stores selling television sets that were showing his MTV. Hits like Smooth Criminal and Thriller were two Mtvs that left an indelible mar on my childhood. I tried dancing like him but failed ultimately as my body is simply not make for dancing.
God had given him a talent to create great music that can break down all barriers. Be it race, language or religion. You just can't help but to groove along with his songs or stand still there watching his Mtvs. It is just sad that with the talent came along the unwanted baggage of having a lonely life.
People don't normally realize what greatness is until it had left us. I don't think there will ever be another King of Pop. I am just glad that people of my generation had the great privilege of seeing him when he was in his prime. Rest in peace. Sad I might be but all party must come to an end. I am just glad that you had left a great legacy of music to all of us.
