RIP

The title of my post says everything, rest in peace, not RI but RIP

Recently Steve Irwin, the mad croc hunter, died in Australia while filming a documentary. He was swimming over a stingray when its barb pierced his heart, and the venom simply hastened his demise. He was a nice guy, though a bit cranky. Nonetheless, he was a very inspirational figure to many of us, simply becos of his fearlessness, determination to preserve wildlife and his funny antics. I still remembered how i grew up watching his documentaries on snakes, crocs, etc etc. What an irony that he was not killed by a croc but by a normally harmless stingray. Mr. Irwin, rest in peace. Your life may be short, but it has been meaningful. You have entertained and inspired many of us.

Also, i heard from Zoulong today (during NRP) that Yew Zhi Hao, a sec 3 GEP also died recently. It was abrupt. It was shocking. I almost couldn't believe my ears. I had participated in a translation competition with Zhihao just this April. And during the competition, i was sitting beside him, and even asked him how to write zong jiao. And out of the blue, i received news of his death. Apparently he had a fatal brain virus which spread to his heart. And his conditions were aggravated when he played in rain just before teacher's day, causing him to be hospitalised. 5 days later, he died. I just feel so sad, so empty, jsut so shockingly stunned. I talked to zhenxuan just now, who's his sec 3 GEP gd friend.

If you are free, do attend his wake tomorrow. 37 sin ming drive 8.30

RIP people....

*silence*

~Rest in peace~
