I saw this piece of news on yahoo @ about 3.30am on Sat morning. Briefly read the news and my mind was saying "sad... another NSF passed away during his NS stint". This is the usual thought I would have whenever I saw such news.
On Saturday night, LC told us that she saw the news about the death of the NSF. Anyway, his name is Nicholas. We briefly talked about it.
On Monday, KJ sent me an SMS indicating that the guy was chief's daughter's bf! I was like "ar?" and in my mind I was "but the daughter is only 13 years old".
When I was back to office today, KJ filled me up with all the details - his "Chief" refers to "Chief Clerk". OMG!!! Isn't that her 2nd daughter's boyfriend?
According to KJ, CC received a call from one of the warrant from Gombak Base to inform her about Nicholas' death. She was shocked and didn't believe it initially. Immediately, she called a few person to confirm and quickly called her husband for advice. She wanted to inform her 2nd daughter but was told by her elder daughter that she had gotten the news and rushed to the hospital. I guess CC was too shocked and lost that she broke down in office on Friday. MA was shocked with her reaction and thought what had happened.
CC took leave for the whole of this week to accompany her daughter. I felt sorry for her daughter. At the age of 21 years old, she had to accept the death of her partner, someone whom she had spent 6 years with. Someone whom she had shared dreams with. It's not gonna be easy to get over it.
Her daughter's 21st b'day is a week or so away. The family had already made reservation to celebrate her b'day for her, together with their daughters' boyfriends. Nicholas had also made plans and reserved a hotel room to celebrate her 21st b'day but now the b'day gal had to call up to cancel the reservation etc. That is even terrible!
The daughter was at the wake to accompany him for the last few days. Heard that she talks to him frequently and bought McDonalds for him.
Who would have expected their love ones to leave just like that? I overheard this sentence yesterday "when you die, you just die. it's the people whom are left behind that suffer". I had to agree whole-heartedly to this statement.
I ever told beary this - if he were to die before me and we hadn't married, i would probably asked for a marriage thru those creepy ceremony. and i am serious.
If given a choice, I would rather die before my love one because it's terrible to miss them but then if I die, I must make sure I have already prepared well for my mom and my gal, otherwise, who would take care of them when I died.
Therefore, we should be mindful and conscious to appreciate people around us, rather than after they had left us for good.
