I am seriously shocked and sadden by the news. I know we have not been in contact for years but he will forever be a very dear friend to me. I am very grateful for his friendship. We have been schoolmates since primary school but we were never close. We only became good friends when we have all grown up and reconnected in our late 20s when a few old schoolmates decided to have a small gathering at some mamak in Puchong. We then found out we actually stayed opposite each other in Kelana Jaya. So we lepak more - a lot of supper sessions together (since he usually work till late - life of a retailer). Only 2 of us, coz it was out of convenience due to proximity. We gradually became really good friends coz we have similar wavelengths and sense of humor. But our friendship was pretty seasonal. We can suddenly be hanging out with each other almost everyday and texting each other everyday to not chatting or meeting up for months or a few years. Then when we reconnect, there wasn't any awkwardness and we could just text each other everyday sharing our thoughts and stuffs. But he suddenly stop texting me and blocking me a few years ago because he told me his gf didn't like our friendship. I was seriously hurt. But i understand. The last time we chatted daily, we were telling each other how we will never get married and we jokingly made a pact that we will check in to the same nursing home and be each other’s wing person and help each other to hook up.
He always pop up in my mind every once in awhile. Then today suddenly i saw this notice on his FB page. Honestly, i cannot believe it. Coz truth to be told, i always hold on to the belief that he will eventually back in contact with me again - like how our friendship has always been. Seasonal. On off on off on off. Now, it is permanently off already.
Thank you for the friendship, Michael Fong. Guess we will never grow old together in a nursing home being each other’s wing person any more. Till we meet again in Heaven, Rest In Peace
