A tribute to my friend and ex-colleague

 


Gabriel Goh has passed away a few weeks ago. May RIP. He was working as a catering officer/supervisor with SIA/SATS before his retirement. He was a nice guy who was very generous with his friends. In the photo above Gabriel with the black/white checked short sleeves shirt bought us dinner at the same place twice in 2017. Each dinner with drinks cost him around $500 but he gladly paid for it. Besides being generous, Gabriel was also a pleasant person to be with. He was a positive and cheerful friend. I did not have the chance to see him when he was ill as I am still in Japan. However, we communicated quite often via WhatsApp before he passed away. I am writing this post as a tribute to him.

How come quite a number of people you know are dropping like flies?

Because we are old and Gabriel was around my age. Don't worry because your time will come 😂

Dignity intact when invited to the house of the Lord.Lots of angels sing,and melodies along too.However,those unbless,unlove and who does evils to fellow men,unlikely ,they got the early pass ,to know where,barely a footnote in live,only a cuss under the nostrils,like a bad breath.A time to repent,karma is real,be blessed rather than not,the path to righteous starts very far back in ones life.Amen

All of us will die.

Only the manner & time of death is unknown...
No one should fear dying.
We fear pain & suffering.
Best way to die is heart attack.. fast, clean, neat.
But prepare your last will & testament.
It makes it much easier for those left behind
Please do not leave a mess.
As a parting gift, leave a neat & tidy estate.
( its ok to leave the dishes & laundry unwashed )


If illness is removed, the older ones will die first.

It is as natural as pang sai.

Its either ascend to heaven via fife and harpsichord,angels guide,in white to meet St Peter at the Gate.Griefed and missed dearly by those left behind.Those unbless,unlove,unprayed by Dante's,Inferno,gloating by all who done wrong,fire and brimstone,to descend into Hell.Its enough to ask for forgiveness and repence while one is alive,acknowledged,for the sins committed,for all have sinned,but truly seeks forgiveness. Everyone passed,but prayed for ascend to heaven,thats the difference.Let us pray.
