i didnt turn up for training today.
last night i received a call from my best friend. on the phone, he sounded very unstable and was crying. thats probably one of the first time i saw him crying. he told me that his dad is in serious condition. i decided to go down with bert to accompany him.
meanwhile xianglin asked if i wanted to go swimming tml, i told him the situation. he advised me to give other reasons to skip training. i didnt see the point. i will lose my credibility if i lie. i dont care man. what others think of me.
so i stayed up till today morning and together with my friend, we went home together. when i woke up, its already 1 plus pm in the afternoon. idled for awhile till later evening.
received called from bert again that our friend's father condition worsen. we went down again. on our journey to the hospital, bert received a call from our friend. his dad passed away. suddenly we feel so .... i couldnt find any word to describe the feeling.
it reminded me of my uncle when i was young. i remember it was in the morning when i was about to leave for school, my mum told me that my uncle who doted me so much had pass away.
when we arrived in the hospital. our friend's eyes were red and puffy. he didnt sleep for 2 days. havent really eaten much food. he kept telling us things about his father. i realised that at that moment, i am helpless, i couldnt help him to relief his pain. seeing everyone there tearing made me super emotional.
i didnt speak any words throughout the journey back home.
