Rest in peace James Khor

Just few weeks back, I received a news from the old friends, saying that our beloved primary school 4J-6J class teacher had passed away.

It was a saddening news, although I just attended her class for 2 years. Her dedication, passion on producing a well discipline and independent students, and every single act of her, we appreciate it since the time we stepping in to high school and getting matured.

Thanks to the keep developing technology, it's amazing how these things like MSN and facebook able to link all the long lost friends together again. I feel lucky for my generation, we stepped into the right train on the very last minute.

Besides of that, it's fascinating to have great chats with old friends via msn and facebook. To be frank, some of them even still complaining how he/she being tortured by the teacher. And at the end, in the class photo with the teacher passed away update, even those people,starting to talk about how great the teacher was, how much we miss her and so and so on.

That time, I really wish everyone can appreciate someone precious around you with a truth heart. Do not wait until they die, only trying to do something.

Those above are just some collected feeling in me.
The main thing I'm talking about, is that this morning, saw some updates from friends, and googled it a lil bit, get to know that James Khor, one of my primary schoolmate, had passed away, in an nature accident.

Life is just so fragile, isn't it?
I never really know this dude, I would say. I never be in the same class with him at all. The only thing I know about him was, during the time I was in 5J and 6J. His class was very close to me, I think it was 5H or 6H if I'm not mistaken.

It is really a great lost to his friends, his family, and all the people that know him, I would say. He supposed to be a shining star with bright future soon. Everything came to an end in just a blink. An unpredictable one.

Even me, his image vividly and in high speed floating in my mind the time I saw the full name James Khor Wan Kai. What about his friends and family? I really feel sorry and sad for them. Since young, he's already a person with great influence. What were the memory I have about him?

  • Always coming out from class and having fun, some fool stuffs with friends, between the lessons' gaps.
  • When few of us from different classed bumped into one another at the urinals there inside the toilet, out of the blue, James suggested see who can pee higher and faster and back to the class. Of course he won. He was already tall and fast.

And a lot of funny acts, always with 2-5 friends around. There were time, seeing him from the next class, as one of the joker, I really wish I can be in the same class with him at least once, and get to know this joker. Now I think about it, I can't imagine how haunting the terrible news will be if I knew him. Because this news already haunting enough, since the early morning of 4am.

I can imagine an ordinary teacher passed away, and the students are sad for her.

But for a person, with bright future, great influence in social circle, to just passed away like that. How the friends and family feel about that? And, what the teachers that taught him before, feel?

It's seriously a great lost. From friends, from some blogs, his own blog, articles, his name is already wide spread in UTAR since he enrolled in the University months ago. Looking at the person like him, you just have a feeling, he's is going to do well in the future, his social skill gonna lead him to the peak of his life, faster than a lot of us.

Overall, it's strange, that James didn't know me at all, yet I have so much thing to talk about him. It's strange.
