I received a bad news on Tuesday afternoon. A student in Changkat Changi Secondary Sch had send me a SMS saying that Vince, a student whom I had kept in touched with, had passed away. I thought it could be a mistake. I called up the school and checked with one of the teachers. It was confirmed. I was shocked. He was so young. I was still talking to him face to face a few months ago. I knew him for nearly 3 years. And I never get to know him better. As a friend, I'm not too sure if I had done enough. And I never get to share the good news to him. It's too sudden. And I am so busy this semester that I couldn't go to the school and I never got to speak to him. The last thing that I talked to him was about him having to go to work to get money to support himself. He also briefly mentioned abt his family problems. I simply gave him some advise and told him to call me if he needed any help. I wish I had done more. More than just opening that gap. I thank Vince that during the period when we regularly met, his joy and humour would never fail to brighten up others life.
Vince, you will always be remembered.
