an otherwise happy day

well school finally brought back the pm cup after
a 4 year wait and i must say i'm really happy for
the guys. all the hard work paid off and i'm sure
they have found it every bit as fulfilling as they
had imagined. could have been happier but i guess
i ought to temper my delight with the memory of
this mornings funeral.

it hits hard and close to home when someone you
know whos your age gets his attendance marked in
the afterlife. what resonates even more was the
the fact that he was on two wheels. a motorbike.
its not too far from being a cyclist. having
ridden all the way up to KL you can say that he
was experienced. but getting hit by a lorry? well,
who would have thought of that.

it was said that he was well known for getting
into scrapes the past few months. could it be
increased recklessness? it was still i high price
to pay. funny thing that the last thing on his
facebook was " pain heals, chicks dig scars,
glory is forever" i wouldnt know if you would
have defined your passing as glory but i know you
lived a life being true to yourself and doing
what you have wanted to do.

you will be missed because while the pain subsides,
the dull ache of a missing friend will always
stay. despite the smiles and maybe the loss of
memory in future, the tremors of your passing
will be felt even in the realms of the subconscious.

rest in peace.
