On the 13th of June 2009, my colleague, Francis (one of the only 5 chinese in my office) passed away. [some of u may know him as sergeant leong's son look-alike.] this morning was his funeral. It was a shocking news to everyone in the office.
although i have only known him for around a month, i could feel that he's a responsible man, nice colleague and loving father.
almost everyone in the office went to the wake on mon. he left behind two sons and his wife. his sons each gave a speech about their beloved father, about how helpless they felt when they watched their dad struggle for oxygen, and about how they feel they have taken their wonderful dad for granted. it was so heartbreaking. francis just bought his son a new handphone and a laptop before he suddenly fainted when they came home from the shopping mall. because his death was a really sudden one, it was even more difficult for his family to believe that he's gone for good. hope that his family will be strong..
life is so precious. it's always when u lose someone then you see his/her importance. i urge everyone to love your family, your friends, and be nice to people around you.
francis was always 'bullied' by the other staffs from what i understand. one of them even quarrelled with him on fri, and francis told her 'i will tell u why on monday'. she cried when she heard the news of his death on mon. i think she's gonna feel guilty for life.
so, be nice to everyone! (i know it's tough, but try!)
receiving alot of sad news recently. yingying's dad died of cancer, bobby's grandma passed away, eugene's grandma unconcious in hospital and doctor said the expected lifespan is around a week, and now, francis' death. feel very sad for all these people. =(
life is precious! i must love my family, my friends, and everyone around me!
lastly, francis will always be remembered as a nice colleague, diligent worker, loving father, nice husband, and a good friend to have. as he's a christian, i believe he's already with god in heaven!
hipper-p
