For the past two days, I've been to a training provided by the company and this morning, I saw a miss-call notification from my student. I couldn't call back due to the training and I didn't have sufficient credit to call back but I know there must be something wrong. A few minutes later, I received a whatsapp message from an ex-colleague saying that a dear friend of mine has passed away this morning at 9 am. I had a shock of my life.
I quickly went to the nearest kedai runcit to top-up and called a few friends just to be sure that the news that I heard. Everybody said the same thing and it was shocking for them too.
He was a good colleague to me. He has inspired many people through his love in music. He showed how music can actually speak for ourselves, the deepest emotions that we can never describe in our own words. We worked together as English language lecturer and Mentor for choir. I do respect how the way he handle things and get people to know his love towards music and songs.
P/s :"Grief is a solitary journey. No one but you knows how great the hurt is. No one but you can know the gaping hole left in your life when someone you know has died. And no one but you can mourn the silence that was once filled with laughter and song. It is the nature of love and death to touch every person in a totally unique way"
