It came to a sudden shock this afternoon on hearing the news of MC King's Death. Although we were not very close friend, somehow or rather, we do acknowledge the presence of each other. I still remember the time when he was a DJ with RadioHeart 1003. I would always go to the satellite station with ken to rally our support for him.
And because of that, we get to know him better. That time, there was also Yongmei who has now moved over to love 972. During those days, MC King was known as "Fei Fei Fu Xin". How could we ever forget all the laughter he had brought with Youfa. I would always listen to their morning program even in class. That was like in 1996-1999. On the way to school or even to SR, i would tune in to Youfa and MC program - Xin Tao Hua Yuan! I tell you the jokes he shared on air really make u laugh, it's not those low class kind of dirty jokes.
Just 2 weeks ago, i met him at Bro John wedding. He was still joking and said, do you know why wasnt i invited to Star Awards? Well, its because i am not a star, i am an artise. During the whole ceremony, he was joking from head to toe. We exchanged eye contact and still acknowledged each other. When i heard news of him passing away, i was stunned.
I was in PF this afternoon while waiting for dearie. As usual, i would switched on radio for songs. Then, i heard leng kee making sombre comments. I was like who passed away. Then as i listen i realised it was MC. I got a shock and called to friends of MC and to my office. True indeed! I couldnt believe it. I stood speechless for a few seconds and try to calm myself.
I couldnt take it. Tears started to form but i told myself to remain as calm as possible. Well, to me, it was more of a sudden news that i find it so hard to accept. He is only 40, still young and kicking. I met him 2 wks ago and he just passed away all of a sudden. I called 1003 and spoke of him with leng kee. Know wat, i was choking as i speak on national radio. Now i fully understand when sudden death came, pple couldnt accept and find it hard to speak properly. I had the same feeling too. Leng kee was cool. She asked if i had anything to say to him, i said "MC rest in peace"
She continued and asked if i have anything to say to my love ones. I said yep! I will cherish my love and love my dearie even more! ha! On radio.... I was emotionally affected. When i met dearie, i broke down. Realli. Cos i have been trying hard to control. I just needed a hug and the emotion came naturally. I hope my reaction doesnt come shocking to her. ha... Well, its a feeling and i have nothing to hide. I was hugging her so tightly and tears just flow. I tot pple might think we quarrelled or something. hahahha... Nonetheless, i felt so much better after tat.
I came home and do a google search. Read articles of him. I have accepted the fact that he is gone. Although still upset, i am now more stable than it was when i first heard of the news. We have lost a comedian, someone who is so dedicated to his job. My respect to you MC! I do hope his close friends and family members will pull together during this period. It is only day 4 into the new year and such an unexpected turn of event happen. Life is really "wu chang"...
