Life is short - this is a phrase often heard but not felt often.
Saturday I went to pick my 黑人from the airport. As he got out of immigration, he called to ask if I wanted anything from DFS and mentioned that his former colleague "Major Lotus"got into an accident earlier and died. I couldn't believe my ears. Major Lotus was only in his 30s, have a wife and a young son. How can he die?
黑人look slightly shaken and distraught when he walked out of the arrival gates. His phone was beeping off the hook and he was talking to other friends, trying to get more information. But bless my 黑人's heart for he kept his spirits up and had nice late dinner with me before heading home.
Now, Ive met Major Lotus a few times and liked the man. Besides from 黑人's closer friends like Songtong and Rududy, Major Lotus was another whom I thought made the effort to get to know me. He was funny and friendly and had no airs even though he was ranked more superior than 黑人.
Noone deserves to die so young. Not when your whole life is ahead of you. Not when you have a son whose life you should see through, at least til he graduates and get married. Noone deserves to die so young.
So to Major Lotus. May you rest in peace and go to a place where luxury cars is at your disposal.

Today is 人日. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone...
The Blaecks had some guests over yesterday night. Sorta like a house-warming/CNY party for Hei's childhood friends. CR and Shar didn't managed to make it, which was a shame. The entire group hasnt gotten together for a long while.
Nonetheless, thanks for GP & ZY for their pizza and crispy duck. Thanks to Dav, FL & lil Maxy for their sushi and ice-cream and lastly, thanks to ZY2 and GY for their champagne and fish-head curry. With exception to Dav & family...no thanks to everyone that was late! =)
I am sorry though, to little Maxy. Our first Casualty of the House, whose forehead mark can still be seen on my glass door of my study room. You literally bounce off the door while screaming at your father not to play mahjong...shell-shocked for 5 seconds, you wailed for mummy who gave you the love and comfort you needed. Dont worry, you werent the only one shocked...the room was so quiet for that 5 seconds you could hear a pin drop!
With that I shall knight you. Little Maxy, Iron Head Warrior...
