today.

we were told a piece of grave news.

our fellow acsian, Tan Wei Yi has commited suicide.

i had mixed feelings about this. i was shocked, shaken, yet i was confused. i barely knew this guy! why was this? maybe cause i was just reminded how fragile life is, how anyone, maybe someone i know could just pass away suddenly like that. and when i say suddenly, i mean suddenly. no one. NO ONE suspected this. he was cheerful. he was the joker kind. he was loud. or at least. he appeared to be. then all of a sudden. wham bam.

just like that. a wave of silence had enshrouded the sec 3 level as they let the dread of the news slowly seep into their souls, each having a million thoughts racing through their head.

as for me. i didnt know what to feel. scared? sad? shocked? nothing? i shuddered as i thought of the possiblity of nick ng being the one who has passed on. or kenneth. or leon. or anyone else i know for that matter. even me.

i was suddenly faced with the fragility of death. how someone can just say goodbye like that. even at this very moment, someone i know could be halfway through his jump.

unbearable, the thought.

like, i swear if anyone in the inner "circle" passed on, i would just cry, i swear.
