the road was alternated by bms and mercs. park vehicles lined-up in an orderly single file along jln simpang bedok. the time was 2040. i was waiting for clarence and his parents. soon a car honk cld be heard. got into the car, and got off again as there was difficulty in parking an empty lot. the wake was extended onto the road, surrounded by perhaps a couple of hundred of wreaths and flowers presented by sympathetic contacts. had a handshake with a man in white top, whom i presume is the husband. went to the coffin area, sort of paid my respect and made a round into the table areas. found out that there were many familiar faces occupying a table. grace lim, michelle wong, serene lim, gideon, yvonne, david chew, joshua ong, richard, samuel bey, joanne and even charmaine(whose leaving for hawaii where she belong). St Hilda's PA. They were my seniors, cause they doubled up as prefects. I seem so in-place, esp cause ppl like mich and serene were my seniors in band. and the prefects back then sortof maintained a close relationship. especialy in 1999, when i was in sec one. talked for awhile, talked to yc. then left. but then dropped by jermaine's place to say hi. they stay next to each other. so ahuh. took bus home. i didnt know what to tell yc. But i remembered, less is more. she might appear happy, but deep inside, the loss is undescribable and could only be felt by a person who loses it. I hope she remains strong....
