I woke up early this morning to rush to the Airport to send my friend off...
It was my 1st time sending a friend off and i really don't know what to say to him.
Feeling sad but at the same time happy for him. Home-Sweet-Home.
Bon Voyage!!
After lunch, we made our long journey back home. As it was raining heavily, we decided to go somewhere else to walk-walk first... so we went JP. While shopping i happened to see my long lost Pri sch classmate! Really happy to see her and she had changed alot alot alot... Hee, i'm quite impressed cos i still managed to recognise her after so many years. In fact she was only my classamate for about 2 years, which means we haven't come into contact for 9 yrs so to speak...
At that mmt, plenty of memories flashed back to me and i just can't stop smiling at her as we talk abt ourselves back in those days...
Felt bad cos i had no recollection of the many names she recalled. How bad a friend i am huh?
Finally she asked: Do U still remember Doreem?
D.T: Ya!! Finally i remember one of them!!! Hahaha! Finally man!
She: Do you know?? She...
D.T: I dunno... (Act, i wanna say: Don't tell me she's married.... Luckily i didn't)
She: Huh sure or not?
Without saying a word, she bend her pointer finger twice...
No. She didn't mean to curse me or whatever...
My ex-classmate, Doreen has passed away.
She had Leukaemia aft she entered Sec Sch, and what she told me was she had Jaundice too. (Sorry BMS mates and friends, i didn't mean to talk abt our course here but seriously think abt it, they are connected, and i think u guys know y liao...)
D.T: So when did she... (I couldn't force myself to say "passed away".)
She: December last yr.
She must have suffered alot, from sec sch until last yr, how many yrs? Almost 7 yrs of struggling and fighting for her life, having to undergo Chemotherapy and being an immunocompromised patient...
Finally, she lost the battle and left us.
Doreem, although you may not be ablt to see this still i want to tell you this: I am sorry that i was not able to see you off for the last time. I still have the photos which all of us took together, but i had no courage to look at it yet. Prob i need more time... All the times we used to have shall always be remembered in my heart and may you rest in peace.
