Life is so unpredictable. I cannot agree more with this statement now.
I'm sure you've heard/read the news about local comedian MC King's death. I do not know him personally, but what made me so affected by his death is that I was supposed to make a call to him on the day he passed away. In fact, just hours before.
I got his contact from another colleague, and was supposed to make a business call to him for a potential business opportunity. I got his mobile number around 11.30am, hastily scribbled his number down on a piece of paper and left it aside. But because I was extremely pushed for time that day, I did not call him instantly then. It has now become a call that will never get through to him.
It was said that he collapsed between noon to 1pm. If I were to have made that call, I would probably be the last stranger he spoke on the phone with. His number's still on the piece of paper, and it's still sitting on my desk. May he rest in peace and continue being such a happy-go-lucky person, bringing laughter everywhere in his new world.
