I have been a reader in the citizen’s blog (CB) of the star online for quite sometime. Most of the time I love to see the bloggers bash each other and with their childish comments. Some have very strong opinions and some have lovely poems and life experience to share.
Today I was browsing through the blog reading the entries when I came across an entry. It was by a daughter of a blogger I use to read. His last entry to the blog was on 23/5/10. That entry was special, that entry was personal. I still remember I was in the airport reading the entry and tears started falling down. It was a blog entry of peace and farewells. Basically he was apologizing to his fellow peers of the wrongs he did on the net and all the tails he stepped on. He was straightening everything and saying his peace. As I read the entry, I learned that he had cancer and was scheduled for surgery. He was worried that he wouldn’t make it through the operation hence the blog entry. That was the last I heard (read) of him.
Today it was an entry from his daughter. Introducing herself to her father’s peers. As far as I know, the surgery when well. The entry was a sad one. Her father passed on. It was a shocker. Then I begin to search her father’s pass entry. Very very very interesting. He was a man of moderate standards. He really when through a eventful life. Life wasn’t a bed of roses or served on a silver platter for him. He had been through so many ordeals. Yet he turned out okay. (love the one that he taught how to cook prawn mee)
Reading his entry, his life experience, I can't help reflecting on mine. One thing what struck me was he was a traveled man and well learned person given his background. His was a person who was able to survive in many any situation. He was a cook, hawker vendor, an electrician, sound technician, guide, scuba training, boat shop owner and so on. He faced financial turmoil, family issues, so many stuff. Yet he lived. Yet he lived. Amazing!
I am not going to say much. Just that. I don’t really know him but I know he lived, that’s what ‘s important. Most of us don’t. You shall be missed “sjzhuang”
