Deepest Condolences
last night i was still happily chatting with tika and dedicating a song to her and all my very dear friends. however, this morning a piece of bad news was received at our end. her dad had passed away this morning. i dont know how or why but all i can say is that it hit me quite bad.
i dont know why but i cried when i heard the news. maybe because i know what kind of family she grew up in.
i feel that since the beginning of last year there are quite a lot of sad news about death. i dont know why but all of it made me grew up a lot. i got to say very much too.
jan 07 --- Beatrice Hsu Wei Lun passed in a car crash. i have to admit i didnt really like her when she was alive but her accident caught my attention. i clearly remember the day i heard this piece of news i was on my way to S.H.E's concert in s'pore. i dont know what made me so attracted to the news but i followed it. her incident made me learn something: tell someone how much you love them before it's too late. (i have been using a lot of 'i love you', 'dear' and all those things around as i type but i got to say i havent say it out of my mouth yet. maybe i'm still shy about it i dont know)
oct 07 --- Darrel Yang Jun En passed away in an accident in Canada. one of my dearest friend which i never really treasured when he was alive. actually i or should i say we never knew about his death until a month later. this came as even shocking isnt it? a lesson learnt: dont take your friends for granted. tell them how important they are to you. (i'm slowly learning this and my friends around the world and beside me you know who you are. i just want to say i treasure all of your friendships. even though sometimes i dont say it but you guys are always the best!)
aug 08 --- sudden departure of tika's father. its really sudden cause he left in the wee hours of dawn. just had a short chat with her and she seems to be coping well. she has to be strong too for herself and her sister. dont wish to talk too much about it cause tears are still threatening to fall as i'm typing this. lesson learnt: treasure your family. there might be fights but when they are gone then you will realize how much you miss them. (i never tell my parents this but i love them, i really do. although i might be stubborn at times and throw my temper but after all they are my family.)
will end here before i go and hide in the toilet and cry again.
note to my dear Tika (if you are seeing this): i know you are strong and tomorrow you will be all right again but if you ever need anyone around. we are here for you. you cant be weak in front of your sister but you can be weak in front of us. we will never laugh at you because we will be crying with you. like i have said, we might not be within walking distance or a phone call away but we will always be there for you to pour your woes to.
