couple of nights ago, i received some shocking news. a friend of mine has passed away. another friend called and said she saw the news of this friend's death in the alumni newsletter. further search has revealed that this friend passed away on July 1 after a 10-k run. he was 30 years old.

 

a tribute video was posted on the net. pictures of his life was shown, including pictures taken on the last day of his life. there were 2 pictures taken on July 1. he looked happy, excited about the run. he was quite healthy. shockingly, autopsy showed no defects of his heart. he didn't die of a heart attack. his death was unexplained....

 

it kept me up all night to think that a friend of mine, who was so young, can be gone forever. i have my chances of contacting him but now it's no more. maybe i should enjoy life more. one cannot take anything for granted.

 

farewell, Perry. hope that you are in a good place.
