Death of My Heroes

Patrick Swayze, someone I watched growing up has passed on at the age of 57, after his battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a well known dancer and actor, who can ever forget his moves in Dirty Dancing and romantic persona alongside actess Demi Moore, in Ghost. I was 17 when I watched Ghost with the 1st love of my life. I remember it was my 17th birthday, he waited ouside my school n presented me a bear when I walked out of the gate. I searched high and low for the movie 'Ghost' after he passed on in 2007. My cousin would drag me away when i went into the shops to ask for that movie, can't believe I looked for it in S'pore, JB and Jakarta, but didnt get it in the end. Maybe I should look for it in Melbourne heh :-)In 1991, Patrick was named in People's magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive", he is definitely every womens' dream, a combination of masculinity and grace!

Micheal Jackson is another one I grew up watching and hearing. My brother was crazy about him and had his initials engaved on his comb. The 'King of Pop' had a song for souls young and old. He was a true legend, he wears no mask in public and was known for his cute sense of humour. I loved Micheal best when he was 26, he was so cute. He had a slight nose job done and his brows thinned and he looked amazing. My personal favourite will always be the single "Heal The World"
