Went for Xian Liang's wake juz now...hmmzz every1 seemed to have prepared themselves for it le...not so many pple broke down...hopefully our presence will be a source of strength to his family...E 2 testimonials dedicated to him gave me a flitting impression of his last moments here...really inspired by his strength and his faith in the Almighty...he even dedicated a poem to his frenz to tell dem to be strong (hope I can get it from some1 to publish here)...I feel it's such a cruel fate...only 18...dere was so much he wanted to do, so much he needed to do, but yet time did not permit such luxuries...to think tt when I last left Dunman he was still a strong and healthy Scout wif bundles of energy to match...how much a year can change...but the worst pain felt has to be those that he has left behind...I hope they cope well...Xian Liang would have wished dem to...

"While some pple lie on their deathbeds fighting for their lives and the right to live, yet there r foolish others living who entertain the thought of death." Life is so porous and fragile...so pls treasure it...it's a privilege to live...and privileges can be taken away as easily as it can be bestowed upon...

Take care.
