MJ-A year apart

Without me realising, its been a year....

I used to listen to hitz fm, and today, for the whole day, it played late Jacko's songs. But it seems, it never got me bored.

Bizarre, but it still hurts each time I'd listen to 'You're Not Alone', 'Ben' and 'I'll Be There'.

One year after pop legend Michael Jackson died suddenly of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 50, mourning fans around the world are marking the anniversary in unique ways.

In Tokyo, 50 Japanese admirers -- one for each year of his life – have been picked to spend a night at Tokyo Tower among the singer's possessions in the Neverland Collection, the only official Michael Jackson exhibition. They were chosen from among 10,000 applicants who vied for the honour.

Across the Pacific in Los Angeles, thousands of fans are expected to descend on Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where the pop star's remains and his golden casket lay entombed in a mausoleum.

The Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y., where a young Michael Jackson and his brothers won an amateur night contest decades ago, plans to host a commemoration Friday of Jackson's life in front of the recently installed plaque honouring him.

Later in the afternoon in Harlem, Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network will hold a moment of silence around the hour of Jackson's death.

"He meant a lot to us of all races in terms of bringing us together in another kind of spirit," Sharpton said. "I wanted to make sure that we showed that in the middle of all this that is going on in the world that Michael is someone that we would all stop for... He was more than just a singer; he was a social force and a sense of inspiration."

Jackson died from a prescription drug overdose at a rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25 last year, as he was in the midst of rehearsals for a series of London concerts aimed at reviving his shattered career.

The L.A. County coroner's office later determined the cause of death was "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with the use of sedatives. Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, was charged in February with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death.
One year later, the pop star whose finances were disarray at this death, is enjoying new fortunes -- or at least, his estate is.

Music industry trade paper Billboard recently estimated that Jackson's earnings in the past year have hit US$1 billion. That includes album sales of $383 million. As well, revenue from the film "This Is It" hit nearly $400 million.

***********

One thing forsure, he was now, even more famous after his death.

Just imagine, even my kids now can even humm & know his songs by hard, & I believe, the same as other kids,.. and thats the magic of him.

...well said MJ, u're still dearly missed...

The Falling Giant

There goes italia....

First time ever in my life, Italy has been eliminated during the first round, what a history.

The last time was 36 years ago.

And this round, they accompany France, which was eliminated few days earlier.

And with this, its the first time I'd ever seen the World Champ & runner-up got eliminated in first round...history been created again....

Slovakia edge and eliminate Italy

Slovakia survived a late onslaught to beat Italy 3-2, which sent them into the Round of 16 and eliminated their illustrious opponents. A Robert Vittek double and a stoppage-time lob from substitute Kamil Kopunek (lucah tul nama mamat ni) proved enough for Vladimir Weiss’s team to advance as Group F runners-up, after late goals from Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella had ensured the tensest of finishes to a thrilling contest in Johannesburg.

The mission for the two sides at Ellis Park was simple: Italy needed a win to guarantee a place in the knockout phase, while Slovakia required victory to advance. The pressure was, therefore, on the four-time world champions, who had been finding goals hard to come by in their opening two matches, and it showed in their play. Disappointingly for the Italians, the visionary Andrea Pirlo was only fit enough to make the bench for this vital encounter, but Gennaro Gattuso and Di Natale were handed starts.

Vladimir Weiss had urged his side to be bold but rational against Marcello Lippi's men, and Slovakia were clearly enjoying the better of the play in the initial exchanges. They could certainly claim to have had the better chances. In the sixth minute, Vittek nodded a long ball into the path of Marek Hamsik, although the latter could only drag his volley wide. And the two exchanged roles six minutes later, with Hamsik squaring the ball to Vittek, but Italy goalkeeper Federico Marchetti was quickest to react.

So, perhaps, it came as no surprise when, in the 25th minute, Marchetti found himself picking the ball out of the back of the net. The pressure of the occasion clearly got to De Rossi, whose pass was easily intercepted by Erik Jendrisek just outside of the Italian box. He promptly found Vittek and the Slovakian fired into the bottom corner to give his side a deserved lead.
Marcello Lippi's men had failed to get going in their previous two matches, and they were lacking inspiration here, too. Di Natale, Daniele De Rossi and Simone Pepe all found themselves in potential scoring positions, but were unable to make them count.

Gattuso's threatening cross was headed over by Martin Skrtel as Vincenzo Iaquinta looked to profit, but there was no real punch to the Italy attack. The AC Milan veteran was, typically, terrier-like in midfield, looking to knock the Slovakians out of their stride, but it was Weiss's side that continued to look the more likely scorers - Zdenko Strba forced Marchetti to palm his 35-yard drive off target, Miroslav Stoch had a shot blocked, and Juraj Kucka watched his long-range effort flash inches wide deep into first-half stoppage time.

Lippi reshuffled his side at the break, with Christian Maggio and Quagliarella coming on in place of Gattuso and Domenico Criscito, as they searched for a crucial goal. Iaquinta almost the found the target five minutes in but his header lacked direction. The same could be said for his team as a whole, who were lacking the required creativity – which explained why the Italian fans, at last, found their voice when Pirlo was introduced to the game in the 56th minute, shortly after a woeful finish from Di Natale.

As Pirlo begin to guide proceedings from the centre of the park, Di Natale almost made up for his miss but Jan Mucha was equal to his curling shot. Italy were, at last, stepping up a gear and when Pepe's cross was beaten away by the Slovakia goalkeeper, Quagliarella could only look on in dismay as his left-footed shot was hooked off the line by Skrtel.

Slovakia, however, remained a match for Italy and minutes after Stoch's drive had fizzed a yard over, Vittek thought he had put the game out of Gli Azzurri's reach when he beat Giorgio Chiellini to Hamsik's squared ball. However, Di Natale was able to pull one back ten minutes from time, before Kopunek restored the two-goal advantage. Quagliarella's late strike set up a thrilling finish, but it was not enough for Lippi's men, who were left to contemplate a disastrous FIFA World Cup campaign.
