I still remember the first time I met him was rather funny. Before I get to know his existence, I have this crazy idea that next time in future, if I happen to give birth to a baby boy, I will name him Joash. Little did I know that this person with the exact same name I plan to give to my future baby boy actually exist, and he was one of the committee's in CF back then when we were still stuck in Taylor's PJ Campus. The day when I first met him, things was pretty awkward as I find this charming guy came into the picture with the same name as my future baby boy. Haha yes, that's how we first met each other :)
Though we did not know each other well, it's been a blessing for me to be able to know someone like him. A passionate Christian himself, who so happens to be my senior of the same course. He just graduated not too long ago and the CF people threw a farewell for both him and Sean. I wasn't there at that time during the farewell as I wasn't feeling too well at that time. Now, I felt really bad that I wasn't there for the farewell few weeks ago. He and a few of his family members met a car accident this morning and only his mom and another sister survived. When Lyon send me the message, I was utterly shock to hear about the news and I quickly did a simple prayer of protection upon the family's life. When I got back from gym, immediately I went and check my Twitter, with updates on the lost of the family and he himself. I tried to deny the fact that I might have interpret it wrongly, so I send Lyon a text message to get an update. Few seconds later, he called. I immediately broke down in tears when the information I got from Twitter was actually right.
Though him and I were never close friends, but in my entire life, I have never encounter anyone that I know of pass away. Most of the time, the news I heard of are people I do not know. This time, he became the first. At this point of time, I really felt bad that I did not get to spend more time with him, even though we study in the same campus. I regretted that I did not get to know more of him and hang out with him when he was still breathing. I just could not believe that he was one of the unlucky ones to have his life taken away. Quoting from what Miss T said when I saw what Nicole posted on Facebook,
"God needed an angel, so He picked one of His best work.."
You will be missed, dear Joash. I really hope you can see this, even if you and your family has already went up and meet the Lord. Will be praying for the rest of your family who survived this tragic accident.
Yes Joash. Though we may not be close, but this tears shed for you was real and it comes from the bottom of my heart. To be honest, I still can't accept the fact that you've passed away. I just can't accept it.
Blessings & Peace Out,
