My Classmate

hi my secondary 3 and 4 classmate died yesterday night.

while i was idling, watching the serial 'perfect cut', she lay dying on the hospital bed.

i went for her cremation ceremony today. She lies in her coffin which lies on a metallic machine which goes 'di di di' in increasing intensity as it inches towards the door of the furnace.

someone cries out her name when the doors of the furnace closed.

we are both in the prime of our lives.

in her blog, i saw an entry posted on the 27th july 2007. she was expressing her joy of being cured of cancer. she need only to have a scan to double confirm and from then on closely monitor her body for 5 years. then everything would be fine.

and today she was cremated.today is the 25th of july 2008. why should she die, it hasn't been even one year. she was happy and hopeful then. she wouldn't know.who would have known that 2 days short of one year from that happy and optimistic entry she would be cremated. ashes ashes ashes.

pretty, cheery 18 years old girl.

she was still alive yesterday. and today she is ashes.

please rest in peace.
really, heaven makes a sport of people.
