In memory of MJ, Gone too soon...

We are still in mourning, hubby and I. Managed to catch the memorial service repeat last night on Channel V. I was moved to tears, I actually couldn’t control my tears. Sobbing away till my head ached!!! Honestly!

I cried when this guy said to the kids how their father was not a strange man, it was how people treated him that was strange!! How true!!

The best was of course Brooke Shield's eulogy. I quote from the web here: In her moving tribute to her friend, entertainer Michael Jackson, at the Michael Jackson Memorial in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009, actor Brooke Shields quoted from the novel The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Expurey. After saying that Michael Jackson was often referred to as "the King," she indicated that what he reminded her of was The Little Prince. Here is the passage she read from the novel:

"What moves me so deeply, about this sleeping prince...is his loyalty to a flower--the image of a rose shining within him like a flame within a lamp, even when he's asleep. And I realized he was even more fragile than I had thought. Lamps must be protected. A gust of wind can blow them out."

Isn't this so true??? I think so. Sob! Sob!!

She continued reading from the story a bit later in her remarks:

"Eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart. What's most important is invisible."
She said that her friend, Michael Jackson, always looked at everything with his heart.

For those out there who might be interested in reading the book and/or watching a version of the story in movie form, The Little Prince has been adapted to film. A live-action film was released in 1974 directed by Stanley Donen. An animated TV series also exists; its pilot aired in 1982.

Even Usher had difficulty singing Gone too Soon...

After the memorial service, we also managed to catch on MTV, MTV presents Michael Jackson: The King of Pop, which featured all his music videos from his debut till his final concert. That guy was brilliant right till his last day on earth.

He is THE Artist of the Millennium and he is Gone too Soon. Love you MJ and I know God must Love you more. God Bless!

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

Can't get enough of cook shows.

I have always been a big fan of the AFC, as in the Asian Food Channel. I enjoy watching the differents chefs at work, the different ingredients that they use in their cooking, the utensils that they use, even the knives, the chopping boards, strainers, leomn squeezers, the food processors and even the mixing bowls. I would notice everything, the hobs, the ovens, the counter top even the kitchen sink or sinks for some shows!

The latest that I have started following is the French Food at Home with Laura Calder. It started early this month, every Mondays at 9 p.m and weekend repeats at 6p.m on Saturday I think. I am not that familiar with French Food, the closest I got to really experiencing the full course French meal was during one of our Company Dinners, many years ago, probabaly before I even started blogging. I loved it, and still talk about it. Hmm, about time, I learn a bit more about French Food and perhaps start learning how to prepare it too. So far I have only watched two episodes.

I like her style. Simple and relax, Last night, was about Morroccon Inspired dishes that can be found in Paris. The blog describes her as witty and charming, I totally agree. Looking forward to learn about French Food. Keep coming back and check out my updates, you never know, there might be some on French Food cooked by yours truly soon. Au Revoir!

PGMtM III

As expected PGMtM Season III was superb!!! Nayli enjoyed every minute of it. So did I actually. All the new touches were excellent. The props, the musical score, the scenes, the "special-effects" all worked out well. I'm glad I managed to catch this season 3. My only and deepest regret is that I forgot to bring my camera. Can you believe it??? I was soo upset, I guess, it's because I didn't plan to wait for the autograph session, but then again, it really is so not me to have forgotten my camera. Anyhow, managed some blurry pics from my camera phone, for remembrance sake. We were there, my girl and I.

Before the show.

at the seat, very very excited little girl here.

the programme book

curtain call, Tiara was in tears, the crowd were estatic!!! this was before the standing ovation.

the CD.

PGL the musical.

I will be going to the Puteri Gunung Ledang the musical tomorrow. Can't wait. Even though I have seen it twice already during the 1st season. This time I am going with Nayli. She is already 8 so she is allowed in the theater. She has been curious about the musical ever since I went to the first show, and brought back the programme book and bought the CD, coffee mug and T-shirt! Ha!ha! Yes, I am a fan of musicals. The shopaholic that I am, I would always make sure that I come home with something after watching a musical. Tomorrow would be awesome, just the two of us. The boys (Dad and Zarif) will be hanging out together doing their own thing while waiting for us. Poor little Zaim, well 8:30 p.m is already bedtime my dear, hope he has no problem sleeping without me tomorrow night.
