Alright, this post actually was requested by a friend of mine. It's not a review. More like what I love the most of this book. So, shall we begin? Oh, I'm gonna write the rest of the post in Malay (with a little bit English :p).
[SPOILER ALERT]
Firstly, nak puji buku ni..sebab disusun dengan teratur. Start dengan early years of The Jacksons sampai la This Is It concert followed by the trial of Conrad Murray.
Apa yang aku discover daripada penulisan Jermaine ni? Aku found out yang Katherine (their mom) sangat sangat mementingkan kebersihan. Ye, memang kebersihan penting and almost semua orang pun suka benda bersih..tapi diorang punya bersih is on another level (bagi aku la). Tahap mana bersih diorg ni? Semua baju yang diorang pakai, tak boleh pakai dua kali. Bukan buang, maksudnya..mak dia akan basuh semua baju yang diorg pakai aritu..sama ada baju event atau baju apa pun, harus basuh dulu sebelum pakai semula, *aku pun x dak rajin macam tu* So, aku mcm "woooow!!! Bersih gila the jacksons ni" "patotla Michael slalu bawak perfume dgn dia, utk make sure dia always smells good especially bila dia nak peluk fans"
Next, the relationship between Jermaine and The Jacksons. As fans, nampak mcm Jermaine yg tinggalkan Jacksons 5 bila diorg decide untuk tukar recording label ke Epic Records dr Motown. Tapi di mata Jermaine, diorg yang tinggalkan Jermaine sebab bagi Jermaine, diorg bermula di Motown, so for him, they're supposed to stick with that label till the end.
Is it fun to be Michael Jackson? Hell no. sebab apa aku cakap cmtu? He lost his childhood to be a megastar. After being a household name with the Thriller video, guess what happened to him? Yes, dia mampu beli rumah dekat Los Angeles, which called Neverland sebab dia rasakan diri dia Peter Pan. Dia tak nak grow up. Dia nak enjoy hidup dia as innocent as child and as humble as newborn baby. Dia bukak Neverland secara percuma untuk kanak-kanak yang sakit (macam2 jenis sakit, kanser dan sebagainya) untuk diorg enjoy segala macam yang ada dalam Neverland tu. for those yang tak tahu apa yang ada kat Neverland, it's like a theme park. Ada ferris wheel, ada train, n macam2 jenis ride. You name it, he had almost all of them. Apa lagi yang ada kat Neverland? Ada movie theater. Yg ni paling best nak cter. Dekat dalam teater dia, ada dua bilik yg ada katil khas untuk kanak-kanak yg sakit teruk tp still nk enjoy the movie. And the big revealation by Jermaine, "if the cinema doesn't have that blockbuster, Michael have it". So, cakap je nk tgk cter ape.
oopps..excited plak cter pasal Neverland smpi ter'miss' nk cter knape tak 'fun' jd Michael ni. Ok, td dah cter kan byk kanak2 masuk Neverland, some simply just want to see Mike. Tapi...ada some of them yg parents dia mempunyai pikiran sebegini rupa, "kenapa kerja keras sedangkan kita boleh saman Michael atas tuduhan meliwat anak kita". Sumpah aku cakap, aku sedih gila sampai menangis. Aku terpaksa stop kejap sebelum sambung baca. Bayangkanlah dia ajak budak2 tu, just for healing process tp parents diorg take advantage sampai macam tu sekali.
Most of them thought they will win and walk away freely with some cash, but they are dead wrong. They don't know what the consequences for a long-time period. Yes, diorg mmg dapat cash tp bukan atas izin Michael. Michael nk trial untuk membuktikan dia tak bersalah tp pihak lain yg berkenaan just give them some money outside the court to settle down the issue. Kenapa aku mention pasal long-time period td? Lpas Michael mati, few months after that, salah seorg parents yg tuduh Michael bunuh diri. Dipercayai dihantui rasa bersalah. Mau ka tak rasa bersalah. Anak dia daripada sakit teruk, dapat jumpa Michael, nampak perubahan positif dan semakin sihat. Kalau aku pun, aku rasa bersalah.
Cukup dengan tuduhan2 tak berasas, Boleh baca buku tu untuk tahu lebih lanjut. Sekarang ni, nak cter pasal This Is It concert. The so called last concert of Mike. Jermaine gtau, Michael sebenarnya Michael dah plan beberapa lgi concert for next 5 years. Jadi kenapa Michael kata itu final concert? Let me remind you, dia dah dalam show biz sejak daripada umur 8. He's genius. He knew what exactly what people want and how to sell it to them. Bila dia cakap cmtu, for sure the fans akan beli tiket konsert thinking it is the last time we can see him LIVE.
There is a moment that excites me the most. One day, Jermaine n isteri dia, Halima g Senegal. N dekat Senegal tu, diorg g tempat yg plg remote. Tmpat yg media pun x boleh nk reach. Halima suruh translator tnya owner rumah yg diorg visit tu, "kenal tak Barrack Obama?" Owner tu ckap tak kenal. Halima suruh tnya lg sekali, tp kali ni, "kenal tak Michael Jackson?" Guess what?? Owner tu kenal!! N dia tnya translator tu, adakah org depan dia ni one of Michael's brothers. Translator kata ya. What happened next???? About 50 children come to that house shouting "MICHAEL JACKSON". This is how he should be remembered. His love reach everywhere, every human in this world.
Ok la..aku rasa je ni yang menarik perhatian aku. Yang pasal trial pun ada gak, Tapi...better baca sendiri kot :) baru feel.
next book: Remember The Time. Sapa nak aku share thought cmni untuk buku tu..sila la komen ye :)
