- Fate is decided by God but destiny is the path you choose to get there -
It`s weird...really really weird...like a sign, or pure coincidence...I really dont noe. Went online today while I am in school...checked my hotmail add and found out that Junrong had left me a comment in Friendster. Went to check friendster and while waiting for it to load, read some news off Channel News Asia site...didnt really go into the details except that someone had died in a marathon event. And so when the friendster page fully loaded, I saw "New Messeges" and I happily clicked it.
The contents of the messege was from Cindy, one of my poly mate...and she wrote Derek have left us this morning. So immediately I "Alt Tab" the keys to switch back to the news page and there was his name, Ho Si Qiu.
Derek was the name he was known to us and he was a fellow poly mate from the next class. Though I do not know indepth about him, still he was someone that I had went out with, dine in school and crash at parties with. Jesus...I uttered to myself as Derek was the second guy from that class to pass on. The first was Wei Liang who left abruptly due to a bike accident some years back and now Derek, whose sudden departure was totally uncalled for. He didnt smoke and I do not remmeber him living off alcohol and he`s definitely not a junkie. He was pretty healthy and fit...and smart too. So still today, I wonder why does God have to summon those talented and young people to his sacred santuary so often...I really have absolutely no idea and I will probably never be able to get my answer in this lifetime.
Go in peace but remember Derek, you will never fade away and till we see each other again in God`s santuary. Yeo I know it`s sucky to have people whom I have not met in a while leaving one after another...where people who should have been taken off and have no reason be even given life to walk on Earth are still roaming around, committing henious and unforgivable crimes.
Where the hell is justice and fairness where they fatous legacy are nothing more than mere words...
Good people die young and that phrase seems to have a deeper implication that just simple words.
I cannot explain and express the amount of condolences that I have for all those love ones around Derek but to say to them, "Perhaps God really had better use for him up there and it`s never goodbye but rather till we meet again someday, somewhere..."
It`S funny how living people all around have always taken the things around them for granted and only when they lose it, then they learn how to treasure it. To all my friends going to Derek`s wake, God bless and so sorry I cant be there to send him off his final journey...from the bottom of my heart, I am really happy that I still have those memories with Derek to accompany me till I meet him again.
See you again Derek...
