Si Qiu's funeral
okie.. today's Si Qiu's funeral.. lots of stuff running around in my mind.. I thought of our time spent together at work.. off work.. during festive seasons and also during our comrades' weddings.. all turned into memories.. suddenly.. papers have wrote about him.. and i guess today serves as a form of closure to everyone of us that he had came across in the short span of his 25 years. Today, 29 August, he will be cremated at mandai.. 26th Aug is logged into my phone's calender, just like any other's birthday, as a reminder to me that 26th Aug is the day defector remembers Bro Ho..
His death was the 3rd I've encountered in my short career span of 6 years And I took this the hardest.. Maybe its because the other 2 was close acquaintance at work.. Si Qiu was different. He was a brother to us.. That's how we know him as at work. At work we always called him "Brother Ho", thats who he is to us.
Indeed his death taught me a lot of things these few days.. to understand that we are always at mercy of someone else..
It's a full military funeral that he is gonna have later in the afternoon.. and I hope this is the last time I have to attend a funeral in my uniform.. 3 is enough..
