3 Years On, With Lots of Misses
Together with Eugene and Jimmy, we finally made a trip down to Bright Hill Temple (Guang Ming Shan) to pay our respects to a dear friend; Te Seng. Its been quite a long time since we went back to the temple to pay our respects to him.
I always wanted to go to the temple to pay a visit alone but didnt have the time to do so. It was a few days ago, after a movie with Jimmy and Yun Ting, when Jimmy reminded me about Te Seng that I decided to organize a trip this time round. The last time we went over to the temple, we could not find the correct alter that Te Seng was placed.
Upon reaching the temple, we went to make a search at the area and with 3 pair of eyes, searching high and low, we managed to locate the urn of Te Seng. If any of my mates here do not know where exactly is Te Seng's urn, the following serial no states so.
Level 1 - L1 0904
I cant remind myself all the time of this serial number of Te Seng's urn but of course, I did the most brilliant way to take note of it; via my MSN message. I had put it since Te Seng's death to remind myself to make a visit annually.
With the help of the uncles from the temple, the 3 of us offered our prayers for Te Seng before we made our way to Ang Mo Kio hub for lunch. Think again, Te Seng had passed on since 17 February 2008, which means 3 years and counting. I still miss him alot, so does the other boys.
His laughter, his voice, his unique spectacles with that cranky look. I miss the way he always called me whenever we have gatherings. "Mr Singapore Idiot", that was what he said (he knows I like to sing).
Before the group break for their respective activities, I posted this online at Facebook, which states "Finally, we managed to locate and pray our respects to you. Dearest friend, it's been 3 years plus since you've gone and we still miss you. Rest in peace, Ah Seng."
There were a couple of 'likes' on the comment, mainly from the class of 5N3. I could say, everyone still miss him. No one expects such a thing had happened to him, to his family, and to us.
I was quite moody the entire afternoon. I did some work-related stuff but was not as energetic as before. I wanted to shop with friends but I rejected them. It was that moment where you want to be alone for a couple of hours, to refreshen the mood.
I felt much better now. Apologies to Ping Ding for not meeting you for shopping at H&M. I just want to chill a little but not telling you the reason.
Life goes on. Ah Seng, Rest in peace while the class moves on.
