Cambodia Incident

I think you guys must have heard about the Cambodia incident all over the news and the local newspapers.

The Singapore Dragon Boat Team participated in a race there and when they were about to reach the dock, the dragon boat capsized. All 22 dragon boaters on board dropped into the water. 17 of them were saved. 5 were missing and found dead days later.

Well, i happen to know 2 of the dragon boat team.
1 was rescued.
The other one was found dead.

Life is really really fragile.
We really don't know what is going to happen tml.
So, please my friends, treasure every moment and every minute and second of your life.
Treasure the things you have, your family, your friends!!!!
Never do anything that will make you regret.

The friend who passed away was from my BMT platoon.
We did chat, but didnt really talk that much and i was not really to him.
I remember there was this time when our platoon sergeants wanted us to write down the best and worst 5 members in your platoon.
I written his name as one of the best 5.
To me, he was a good leader and a guy with very good integrity.
His character is also very good and gets along well with everyone.
N i cant believe it, i just saw him last tues during some army career fair. But i didnt had a chance to say hi. N i guess i nv will.
Heard that his dad passed away last year.
Then now this happen.
I guess it must have been a major blow to his mum.
My Lord, i pray that you bless his mum and give her the strength to go through this period. Please help her through all the challenges ahead!!!
My Lord, i also pray that Wei Cheng could rest in peace and may you bring his soul along with you to the heavenly kingdom.

To my colleague who was rescued.
I am glad you are okay!!! Thank God you are!!!
But losing five of your beloved team mates must have been a devastating and shocking thing for you.
Well, i hope you can stay strong and hopefully you will regain your normal self soon.
You were always a happy go lucky person. I certainly hope you will stay that way.
I will also be praying for you.
