Third week of school, work are piling up.
You won't be seeing much of me lately in the cyberspace due to various reasons.

Just as we were chatting, the bad news came, she cried. I was lost at words, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to console her. I read up on the net, and things seems negative, I didn't want to tell her the whole truth. Perhaps also to decieve myself, telling myself there's still hope.
That night before she left for Singapore, she cried really hard, all I could do was stand there and stroke her gently, I cried too.
Even until she left for Singapore, I still hold on to it, that he's not going to just leave like that. I called back, and was told a different story, but I choose not to believe, I was hoping for a miracle.

I called back again, and was told it's all over, I still didn't believe as they're still waiting for an independant doctor, and again, I still hope for a miracle.
He's still coming to perth to attend his son's graduation next march. I was still thinking the other day, after his son's graduation, they wouldn't have to worry anymore, all 3 children grown up, all graduated.

But on monday, I was told that my prayers were not heard, as it's all confirmed. He's gone. Just like that. Perhaps it's times up for him. He left so sudden that it's so hard for his family members to accept.

Up till now, I still couldn't believe what had happened. I wasn't really close to him, but I see him every week when I was back in Singapore. He was still complaining to me about the ache at his shoulder when I saw him at the shop the other day.

Life's so fragile
