I first met Seng Liang during the Bizad orientation camp in 2005. We only had 4 guys in our OG, so we spent that week hanging around one another. Gradually, I faded away from the Bizaders as school progressed, and Seng Liang became just a casual friend. But I always thought he was one of the nicer guys. He was simple, unassuming and had a good nature.
This morning, I was shocked to receive a call from Su Ann. She was crying on the other end. When I went down to meet her, she told me that Seng Liang passed away last night. Just like that - he is lost forever. It was only hours before that I saw him in lecture. He smiled and waved at me. But on his way home last night, he lost his life in a traffic accident.
How do you go from being a breathing person one moment to dead the other. How unpredictable life can be. Sadness. I regret not knowing him better, because I am sure he was a great person. I hope his family gets by.
