Jordan on Jacko

Posted by Jeffrey on June 29, 2009

Last Friday night, my father-in-law treated us a late Father’s Day dinner and also my brother-in-law’s belated birthday. Then after the food, Jordan and his first-cousin Allyssa made friends with a girl and her brother from the next table.

Soon after the girl was playing with Jordan’s drawing gadget thingy on our table, then we heard Jordan said to the girl:

Do you know Michael Jackson died today?

That made all of us giggled, my father-in-law quipped: “wah, current news juga dia punya small talk“.

Well that morning (Malaysian time) Jacko died and Jordan, who started the day never heard of him, can’t escape Jacko’s music as it was a marathon of Jackson’s songs on the way to school. He also joined me in watching all of his videos on MTV before we went to dinner. His dance moves fascinated our little boy.

On the way to dinner, Jordan who likes to dance, told us:

Now I like Michael Jackson already… but now he already died. I’m sad.

Truly, the world has lost a truly amazing entertainer. We’re lucky we were alive when Jacko kept coming out with wonderful songs and amazing performances. Hope there will be someone at least half as good as him to entertain Jordan’s generation.

RIP Michael Jackson.
