My deepest condolences to David Thong

Jeff messaged me last morning, only did I see the msg. R.I.P David aka Skywalker. I was stoned for 2 seconds. David has lost his fight against the long suffering cancerous battle. Sadness hovers over me until today.

I have not seen David for the last 5 years. The last time I bumped into him before I left the country, he said to me “We really should go for a drink or something. Before you leave.” I said ok but never really bothered to because I’m always too caught up with my own life.

David’s passing brought up all the memories of people around that has passed. I thought of Darren, who said the same thing to me during NYE 2004 at Barcode. He hugged me and said, “Meet up before you go again. Call me. Don’t make this the last time I see you.” I nodded and promised I will. But never did. It really did become the last time we saw each other.

It is sad, how I never treasure people around me, until it is too late.
It is sad, how unpredictable and fragile life can be.
It is sad, how one will not appreciate life, until one is running out of it.

May you find eternal joy, in your new found secret haven.
May you rest in peace, David. You fought bravely.
Your “from-ear-to-ear” smile will be remembered. Forever.
We will go for the drink, one day:)
