cancelled my leave on 31st cos i wasnt feeling too settled with sch just starting in 2 day's time n i'm totally not prepared...the classroom wasnt prepared too....
early in the morning, my colleague came to me with a card...and asked me if i knew WZ's aunt....WZ is a potential 16 yr old student who is starting sch this coming jan...well, i've met him and the aunt during one of the parent support groups.... Me: yar...kind of...met her but din really talk to her...y? Colleague: cos WZ died.
i was stumped for words. Huh?? Died? She passed me a condolences card for me to sign on. Apparently this boy fell to his death in his flat on the 9th storey. it was a freak accident. And if it wasnt that she wanted to remind the aunt about his enrolment date, i guess we will only find out on the very dae...it's so unbelievable...too sudden...he was one of the rare high-functioning kids we were going to take in...once studied in mainstream...n during the parent support group he kept making eye contact wif me n yh, trying to disturb us cos he was too bored....
life is just so vulnerable. one day u happen to meet this someone, n the next minute you talk about him he has vanished from this world.
My sincere condolences to the family and loved ones. WZ, may you rest in peace.
