Friendster just underwent an overhaul for its interface and now we could upload up to 25 pics to our profile..cool.. Came across this new alert feature which informs us of who had uploaded new photos.. saw one of my friend had loaded new pics so just surfed in to take a look.. all the pics were the same till I scrolled to the last pic. It was a solo pic, not of himself, but his good friend. Caption said " a friend who will always be in my heart".. a chill went down my spine as I read it a few times over. Sent him a message to reconfirm what I guessed.. and yes, his friend just passed away on Tuesday.
His friend collapsed while playing street soccer in camp. Nobody knows why coz he had always been really fit and healthy and he’s only 23 years old. Recently there had been a surge in such accidents of young people who died while exercising…scary.. I dunno Perry personally and knew him through my ex and his friends. Never kept in contact and my only last impression of him was at a chalet, of him strumming the guitar and singing along.
Couldn’t get to sleep as I suddenly began to reflect on people whom I’ve taken for granted and the cliché it may sound, learn to cherish the people around you when they’re still around. Don’t wait till you’ve lost them.
To live everyday as if it is your last… a newfound meaning to that phrase, for me.
