Passing of a gamer

Neilson Sim, used to be with our group of gamers (since 1990).... we were crazy backed during our sec and poly days... console gaming hangout at Super Mario (City Plaza), arcade gaming at Wywy (Marina Sq), movie at Shaw Lido, disco at Hard Rock Cafe... this 'routine' lasted a few years before we get enrolled into NS or settled down with family... those were the days, till now, we kept in contact once a year and our group would gather for dinner... with whatsapp, keeping in contact. becomes easier. 

Wenzhong (or Lao Gao - Monkey in Hokkien) passed on 4 Jun 2015 in a freak car accident... apparently, his wife survived... 

Its really fated that I came to know this accident when i visited his FB since his bday fell on 12 Jun... deja vu...

we had not kept in contact for almost 2 years plus since he started to borrow $$ from our group... we tried to message and call him but no pick up... 

he said he will be in Vietnam for work but we saw photos of him in Singapore and Australia. He said he was in law suit/court cases and this group of friends willing contribute to help him get by. he said he was almost in divorce. 

all this while, our group was happy-go-lucky... some of the gamers said he was a conman now... i dont care... what i am upset that our years of friendship was really worth this small amount of $$.... i told the others, it's probably something that we owe him in our past lives.

Life is so short.... say your love to that special one before it is too late. 

May you rest in peace.... and Buddha be with you.
