Lester had passed on for about half a year. He never regained consciousness after getting into a massive accident along PLUS highway, near the Seremban stretch.
We still do not know what actually happened on that night. We will never know why he was on that route, how he drove head-on and in full speed into the back of another vehicle, and what the last thought on his mind was.
All I know is, Lester was such a nice person. At first, he seemed like the silent type, that is, until he started to warm up in a matter of seconds! He always had lots to share but never dominated the conversation. He was unassuming, understated and good-natured.
Lester. Wherever you are, may you be at a better place.
Like A Comet Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day Gone One Night
Like A Sunset Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Well, my mum and my O&G "Dr Jeremy Chuah" just passed away recently too. He was quite a good friend to my mum and we knew him personally.
When I thought of him, it reminded me that life is super short and I would never know when it is the last day.
I too remember Lester as being one of a great colleague in covering vytorin together.
Life is short, and why don't we take this opportunity to cherish moments before it is too late?
That's so true, dear. I was just re-reading an excerpt from the book Like the Flowing River by Paulo Coelho for it illustrates your point:
‘Do you know that bananas can teach you the meaning of life?’
The monk took out a rotten banana from the bag and threw it away.
‘That is the life that has been and gone and which was not used to the full and for which it is now too late.’
Then he drew out another banana which was still green. He put it back into the bag.
‘This is the life that has yet to happen and for which we need to wait till the moment is ripe.’
Finally he took out a ripe banana, peeled it and shared it with Isabella.
‘This is the present moment. Learn how to gobble it up without fear or guilt.’
Thanks for leaving notes for me here... you're really someone who lives in the present! :-)
Hey woman,
It's my pleasure to read your blogs. I do come in from time-to-time, to see if there is any update from you. I love reading blogs. It's part of my lifetime's pastime which I developed since college days. Blogging and blog-surfing. There are a lot of blogs especially from Malaysia which you can learn a lot.
Well, life is short, why not make full use of the time given to us?
After all, life is not only about earning a living. It's about gaining a LIFE!
