Death

Death is inevitable. Shobaan's death is the second death related news I've received for this year. The first one is the death of the person that gives me the support and encouragement during my conflict with my family when I was sweet 16- my "kai goh" William Goh.

Last two weeks, I received a call from an old friend. She informed me about my kai-goh met with an accident while working. He is in the air conditioning servicing industry. One fine day, he went over to his regular customer's house to service his aircon. While tending the outdoor unit, he slipped and fell 7 stories down. He died of massive bleeding and head trauma. I was only being told about his death 2 months later. At first, I was shocked and couldn't believe what I heard but soon, I accepted it.

Then comes another landslide. Just a few moments ago, I was informed through MSN that the friend I knew since I was in Secondary school has passed away. Although he used to be a bully, but he was a smart person and I am impressed with his chess skills. It was him that gives me the encouragement to play chess. I never defeated him before in chess. Now that he's gone, I will never have the chance to beat him anymore.

Why so fast? Life is indeed short.

Rest In Peace Shobaan Pillai 04/04/89 - 10/09/09
May God bless you and forgive all your sins.
