MemoryLane Forgotten

I just come across an email.

It is an OUT OF OFFICE AUTO REPLY from Thomas Yip (HOD) last week. In the mail, it was stated that he was currently overseas n would be back today (15th April).

After reading the email, sadness filled me.

Thomas went to an overseas meeting last week. On Fri (11th April), we received the shocking news that he died in his hotel room peacefully. Oh My!!!

Today, it was supposed to be the day when he would be back. Yet, it was his wake today. OUCH!!!

Everyone esp the perm staff whom have worked several years here, they have been v solemn nowadays. Today seem to be even worse. The ambience of the office was v cloudy. Everyone face was so pale. Now they did not talk that much or loud to us. We need to try hard to catch hard what they were trying to say.

Everytime when i passed his empty room, i was reminded of him. He might be the HOD, he was friendly n nice to everybody. Furthermore, he was so young. He was only 47 with only a wife n such a successful career. Y do such bad thing occur?

Sigh...Mourning...
