A few days back, a friend lost his life in a car accident. When something like this happens, you can't help but feel a bit lost inside with emotions. Denial, sadness, uncertainty... it's all pretty hard to handle. If anything, I'd like to dedicate this blog to him and send him one of my final well wishes.
Most of my memories with Jeremy were during our days at Myer. He worked in menswear, I worked in ladieswear but we always managed to cross paths during our shifts. I remember so many times we'd talk for ages about things and then have to run off 'cause we were both afraid of getting into trouble. He'd always be getting up to mischief but he had such a great heart. Great sense of humour, cute smile, always so warm and friendly to everyone he knew. It saddened me when he quit work to focus on his med studies but I always knew he'd destined for great things. The last time I saw him was a few months ago when he came to visit work to see how everyone was doing. If I knew it was the last time I'd see him, I would've given him a great, big hug and told him what a great person he was and how grateful I am for having known him.
You were too young to be taken away. I'll always cherish the memories we had and remember all the good times. I'll miss you dearly. Rest in peace Jeremy.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way...
i've never been a big fan of the month August... i dunno if it's just coincidence but good things never happen to me during this month and this yr has been no exception... for those of u who dunno, my 婆婆
[maternal grandmother] passed away in early August and i was pretty upset by that... she's looked after me all my life and she was living with me for the past 7 yrs after my 公公
[maternal grandfather] passed away... in some ways, i regret not being closer to her in her last yrs... after hearing my sister's eulogy during her funeral, it just brought back memories of when i used to hang out with her heaps as a kid... i remember telling her a long time ago that i'd still be spending heaps of time with her when i grew up but as time went on, we drifted apart... i'm still pretty upset now not just 'cause she's gone but also 'cause she's not gonna be there when i turn 21 or when i graduate from uni... i'll miss u dearly 婆婆
=( Rest in Peace...
i wanted to say a special thank u to Kev for driving me to the hospital, coming to the funeral and continually checking up on me to make sure i was okies and also to Ketty who was there for me during the day of the funeral, as well as everyone else who offered support and their condolences... it was very much appreciated and really helped me through this hard time =)
another sad thing to happen this month was having to farewell Taiki, who left for Japan yesterday... i've known this guy for quite a while and we've had a lotta good times together... all the times we hung out at uni, at friends' places, at each other's places, pplz's parties, each other's parties, went clubbing together, will be sorely missed =( i'm sorry i didn't get to see u on ur last day in Brissy but i hope u had a safe flight to Japan and best of luck at ur new job... i'll try and visit as soon as i can =)
