RIP

After spending a whole Saturday at home, I did pretty much what one could do on a Saturday, enjoy my 360, sing, work out, snack, nap etc. I surfed the internet and was checking through my friendster when I came upon the account of Ishi from Soul, the guy who had commited suicide, while I was away in Brunei. I missed all the media coverage on the news so I thought probably it was a good time to do some catching up since I’m still awake at 3am. I’m momentarily interrupted by this guy on TV who swallows roaches on Ripley’s, disgusting, followed by this cup stacking kid, amazing! Back to our topic, probably a few of you guys knew him personally, I think it is certainly too late to alter anything now, although few of those who were close to him still think that you could have done something to change the course. It’s sad, even for someone like myself, who hadn’t heard of him as an individual. From all those comments on him, he was probably someone I would like, definitely talented in performing arts, and to sum things up, he wasn’t your average joe. What drove him to it? I don’t know. What I know is that sometimes in life, there are moments where we feel the most vulnerable, be it how successful you are, when these moments come, they tumble on you all the same, all logics thrown out of the window! It all boils down to choice; To take route A or Path B, to stay or leave, to embrace life or to waste it. And the single most important guiding principle to this decision should be, if it is going to hurt your family. I will remember them in my next prayer coz only God can ease these kind of pain. To Ishi whom I never knew, rest in peace.
