Gone too soon..

It has been a sad year for me.. I've lost 2 friends so far..
Sylvester Liew Kah Hoe and Shobaanthiran Pillai..

----------Sylvester---------- | -----------Shobaan----------

Sylvester passed away about a month ago due to sickness. I knew him when i was in TARC. I was taking STPM while he was taking A-levels. We knew each other through Science and Mathematics Society. We were both committee members. He left TARC after the first semester. He was a really nice guy. He was a gentleman and he was nice to everyone and he always offer his help to those in need. I really regret that i found out about his death so late and never got the chance to see him for the last time. Yesterday i went to his facebook profile and saw a slideshow of his funeral photos posted up by his relative. I cried as i was watching the slideshow. It is really unfair that a guy like him had to go so soon.



As for Shobaan, he passed away yesterday morning at 5.30am due to a car accident in Bangsar. I've heard many version of stories on how the accident happened but i dont know which is the real one. I went to his funeral today and i managed to see him for one last time. I am really not used to Shobaan being so calm and peaceful. He came to out class in Form 5. He was always all over the place and making jokes to make everyone around him happy. The only time he was quiet in class was when he fall asleep, but it usually ends with teacher scolding him then he making jokes about it.

Many of his friends came for his funeral today. A few of them said that this is like a gathering but not the type of gathering that we are hoping for. I totally agree. If this is the kinda occassion that can gather everyone together, then i would rather have no gathering at all. At times, was hoping that what Terri said in her blog will come true, that is:

" A little part of me is telling me not to make a fool of myself saying all these sweet gushy things about you because tomorrow you'll pop out of nowhere and yell, "GOTCHA!! I punk'd the whole damn class of '06 of both Wesley Methodist AND frickin' VI yo!!!! And this shit went international. Suckers!" And you'll smirk in that infuriatingly arrogant way of yours while all your friends angrily plot your REAL demise. Because that's just the sort of thing you would do. "

However, after i spend the whole afternoon at his house, i realised that what i hope for is not gonna happen. He is really gone. I saw many of his friends crying and i tried to hold my tears.

Both of them had gone too soon. They should have the chance to enjoy life to the fullest. However, God must have something good planned for you guys. You will be missed.
