16 Vendetta - In Memory of Mr. Daniel Phua
The man with the pink piggies tie.
I'll always remeber Mr Daniel Phua. He was my lecturer at Shatec and taught me 3 subjects (I think?).....
He was the lecturer without anger or attitude. Even though he was fat, he was never conscious about his weight issues and always wore a pink tie full of piggies. The was only one time my class got told off by him but it was our fault actually. He was a "ladies' man".
When he passed away, we were all under attachment at hotels. I remember when Cindy called me (sobbing and choking) and told me Mr Phua had passed away, I told her off and said "Haha, it's not funny, don't joke ok!!". Then when Jonathan, Zach, Nelson, Jes, Naz, Clarence, Irene, Cheryl, Serena, Ju (If anyone of you are reading this, I know you have never forgotten him) started calling, you know it's true.
(It's ironic isn't it, you won't believe the truth the 1st time you hear a shocking news?)
At the funeral, there were lots of shatec students. Mostly those whom he taught. We got to see him 1 last time at Mt Vernon. When he was cremated, 2 of my female classmates fainted (of course, lots of female students from other classes also fainted). He left behind a wife and 2 children.
He was less than 39 years old when he had this one heart attack that took his life.
His incident made me realise that I should just cherish what I have now and be glad everyday when I open my eyes in the morning. At least, a new day has arrived.
Dear Mr. Phua , you will forever remain in our hearts. 10 years have gone since you passed away, but it still seems like I've talked to you just yesterday. Till I see you again........)
