The Lost of a True Legend


~The front gate to Michael Jackson's residence in Hollywood, LA. During the Hollywood tour, I noticed that his house was the only celebrity house which had fans waiting for him outside the gate. According to the tourist guide this happens practically everyday~

It has been thirteen days since Mikaeel or better known as Michael Jackson has left us. Fans or no fans, everyone including me, were shocked to receive the news of his tragic death. If I were to know that he was going to leave us for good, I would definitely climb the gate of his house in LA when I was there last month. I would run to his door in hoping to meet him in person, would request him to sign my autograph book or anything that I could possibly think of within that short period of time before his bodyguards could chuck me out of the house compound. I am not a big fan of MJ compared to others, but I truly appreciate some of his songs, the ones in the 80s especially.

Today, he will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn. I believe his family will respect his final wish that is to be buried the Muslim way. Mikaeel, you will always be remembered as a true legend. Hereafter, you shall bear no more pains and heartaches in this cruel world, due to the trials and accusations you faced for the past few years. I know deep down in your heart you are a genuine and true person. No matter what others say, to me you are a man with a heart of gold. May Allah bestow upon you His forgiveness and may you rest in peace by His side.

ALfatihah.

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama
