Its really sad to hear that so many innocent people died. And all because of some guy who had manic depression. I mean if you're sad and depress then kill yourself lar...ok i take that back! No one should kill themselves for whatever reasons, but he shouldnt have gone on a killing spree. I mean what did these other people do to deserve such deaths?
Its so tragic whenever i hear of such horrible events and somehow it just reminds me that "LIFE IS SHORT!". I mean imagine if you're sitting at your office desk and suddenly next thing you know your very own colleague takes up a gun and BANG!!! shoots you in the head. But of course being in Singapore or Malaysia, chances of that happening is rare unless you're some blood and money sucking politician then perhaps you might get shot. But i think more so to happen are accidents.
And speaking of accidents, i just cannot forget my dear friend who was also my colleague; Michael Yang......................................................................................................... I dont know why but suddenly after typing his name on this blog i immediately started crying. I had to take a few minutes off just to cry before i can continue on writting. Oh gosh! I really cant believe i just cried.
Anyway, Michael passed away in a road accident unexpectedly end last year. I remembered that i just came back to KL after a meeting in Singapore together with Michael and it was a Friday. Then the next day on Saturday evening about 4pm, i got an sms from Estee (another colleague of mine) saying; "Michael just passed away". The first thing i thought was that it was a joke because i just could not believe it. Then of course i quickly called Estee directly. She was crying when she picked up the phone and it was then that i realised the reality that Michael is really gone.
The next couple of days later was just more crying and a complete blur. The story of his death was really tragic. Michael was actually driving down with his BF (he's gay) to pick up his mother from Kluang, Johor back to KL. The reason why he's traveling all the way back to get his mom is that he's finally taking his mom from Kluang to KL to live with him for good. Before he can actually reach his mom, his car suddenly flipped and he was thrown out. There are many other details after what happened but Michael did not die on the spot. Instead he suffered.
It really breaks my heart to remember the details of his death!
I really do not know why Michael's death has affected me so much. Maybe it was his life and his character that I really really liked.
Michael was a man that was really really different. He's the biggest Gay guy that i know ever! And he's such a Diva! He is so entertaining that he makes me laugh all the time. He's even damn "HEOW", i mean i've never met a woman or even a man that can bat their eyelids and release 'electricity' like he can. He's extremely open about his Sex life ...telling me all kind of tricks and tales to seduce your man. And he's just such a people person. He can be annoying but yet somehow you just cant hate him because he's just sooooooooooo lovable. Once you look at that face all anger just leaves. At work, he's such a people person. He knows almost everyone in the Sports and Fashion industry. Don't ask me how he does it but he's just great with people. But i think the best part about him is that he loves to eat. I remember him, Estee and myself was on a working road trip togetherto Penang and boy did we stuff ourselves with food.
There is so much more that i can talk about Michael but its painful right now just to write about him. He celebrated life and i celebrated our friendship. I guess thats why i miss him so much.
But "Life is Short" and not only that... its fragile. Thinking of Michael, it just makes me appreciate the other friendships that i have with my other friends. You dont know when Death will come knocking at your door but when it does just make sure that you've said your I Love You's to your loved ones and your Sorry's and your Thank You's every day.
PS: A note to my friend Zewt who's mother just passed away, my heart goes out to you!
