A letter



From a friend who left us 2 years ago. A primary school friend whom I decided to write a random letter to after we got posted to different secondary schools. Been 2 years but the scenerio of receiving news of his death I can still recall clearly. His mum crying at his wake. My primary school friends sitting together. All of us just shocked upon knowing one of us is gone..

And it made me realise that life is really so fragile... People can be gone in an instance. News of people involved in accidents just happen everyday, to us they are just streams of news and reports, we feel pitiful for some and then get on with our lives, as if nothing has happened. But what if, just what if, one day, one of these "news" are actually people who are in our lives?

Several times I hear my friends getting into bike accidents and such, and it's really scary to even imagine losing any of them, like what happened to Eugin. Sometimes there is nothing we can do to avoid things like that from happening, which is why I always thought that if given a day to live, try and make the best out of it. Do things which you long to do, tell someone you love them, make birthday cards, celebrate festives, gather together, etc etc. Every single day is a day for you to do something. Don't waste it.

Going to visit Eugin this Sunday. :)
