Remember the scenes in 2012 movie? Today I experienced a little mini version of it. Lol. I was having lunch with Aik Leng, Jonathan and Atlantis when suddenly there was a heavy downpour. We thought that the rain might stop or get smaller as time goes by but it ended up getting heavier and heavier till an extend that it poured really heavily. So we stayed at the food centre till it was really late, we had no choice but to call cab so as to not get late for lessons.
As we called cab, we got a shock. It was flooded everywhere. People had difficulty passing through. Even smaller cars was half submerged under water. The market place and shops below together with the toilet, was flooded. Shop owners had no choice but to use the pubic bins to scoop water out. It was truly a sight worth seeing. How often do we get to see this in Singapore? Fortunately to say, very rarely. 2012, Singapore style.
Cab fare from school to bukit timah? $4. Cab fare from bukit timah back to school? $10. Lol. Thanks to the flood and downpour. Anyway lessons went on as usual. Noone except the 4 of us remembered the little "adventure" we had. (",)
Anyway, it's Carol's birthday tomorrow. I typed and wanted to wish her tonight midnight but end up pressing the send button instead. Lol. Still, here's wishing you another advanced Happy Birthday mei mei! Remember the day we met at Chinatown? The day we sang together at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre? You and Daniel were the first two memebers of EME. I'm so happy to have known you. Best wishes to you k! (",)
Zhi Hao's body will be flown back this weekend. He had a state military funeral in a chapel in US and will be holding his wake here in Singapore during the weekends. I'll be attending the wake. RIP Bro.
Tuesday marks the end of Maths lecture and tutorial. Means no more Mr Syed. :(
It's sad because we all like him. He's really a great teacher. Someone who can impart knowledge with so much patience and dedication, and also tries his very best to make what supposed to be a super boring subject into something so interesting and funny. It makes me want to learn and not to say, I scored a high 92% for my Maths test. We took a picture after our last tutorial lesson and he is so funny! He told us, "Eh, wait awhile ah." then he went to pour water into his hands he started styling his hair. He said, "Faster take picture before the water effect wear off and my hair starts to fall." HAHA. So here we go, snap snap.
With the class. (",)
I managed to get a solo picture with him. Good memories.
Thank you Mr Syed for everything that you have given and contributed. You are a great teacher! Take care!
On the other hand, today's the beginning of Statistics lecture. It's ok, not as interesting as Maths, but I'll still try my best to work hard and score.
My house is almost done. New furniture arriving in the weekends. Cant wait!
I'm sure some of you would have heard of the passing on of a RSAF regular in an accident in USA two days ago. I wish I didnt have to blog about this, but I have to. He is my friend.
Before you guys read on, I would like to do a dedication.
A Song Dedicated to Zhi Hao (affectionately known as) Cheeseman. Zhi Hao aspired to be a pilot since school days. He made it. Hope you fly high, to some place where you find your own happiness. This song is for you.
Read on.
It's the 2nd time in two months I received news of a friend passing on. I dont understand why such cruelty must bestow on such a nice person. I mean, no offence to anybody, the other two passengers survived the crash. He was the only fatality.
A relatively close friend of mine, Zhi Hao was a great man who has everything a friend needs. I knew him since 13, when I was in Secondary 1. But we didnt really get to know each other until Secondary 4 where we were in the same class. We started forming a clique. Me, Sabai, Terence and him, we all used to hang out together alot. We been to many places, did alot of wild things. He was a daring person and he's someone who would dare to do almost anything. As a result, he and I would often make fun of Sabai. Not forgetting getting into trouble together. Lol. What a silly friend.
I remembered a night in Sec 4, Zhi Hao's dad offered us a free trip to Night Safari. So almost the entire class went.
After that, we went to the same JC. Coincidentally, we were in neighbouring class. And so because of that, we get to meet often. During break time, we would hang out in the canteen or the hall where there's a grand piano which I would play.
Zhi Hao's a smart person. He's always teaching me maths and physics, which I sucked completely at. Lol.
Sad thing was we both graduated and left to serve the nation. He went on the sign on the Air Force and was on his way on fulfilling his ambition of being a pilot. He succeeded. I'm proud of him.
Due to his oversea training stint, we sort of lost contact. However during his birthday on the 22nd Oct, I wished him happy birthday. That was the last time we contacted.
Yesterday, on a sad Monday morning, at 0910am (Singapore time), he left us, suddenly. Just like that. Sigh.
There are many things about Zhi Hao that I can write and share, but I just cant do it now. My heart hurts. I wanna cry now.
I'll never forget his distinct laughter. He has brought us many joy and happiness with his great company.
To Amanda his gf: I hope you stay strong. I know it's hard but we will always be there for you.
To Zhi Hao's family: My deepest heartfelt condolences to everybody in the Chee family. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful friend. It's been great knowing him.
If there is anything that we can do for you all (amanda and zh's family), do let me know. We are all here with you.
Goodbye, my friend of 9 years. May you find peace in a better place now.
Rest In Peace.
