Qi Yue Ban^Ghost Festival & Tragedy on 28 NOV'2007

This month is the chinese so call "Ghost Festival" month, especially on the 15th day is the exact day where most of the people "pai pai"...and those buddhist do ceremony for those " ho hia ti"!
Well, I personally dont bliv in this, becos i was a holy christian ...but now somehow bcome more to like free tinkle due to some unhappy & super duper unfortunate things happened among our frens...

This terrible incident happened last November, to b exact it's on the 28 NOv'2007!
to be brief - We lost 2 of our dearest friends - drowning !
Altho it has been 9 months ago, but it seems everything just happened yesterday and still so fresh in our mind (i guessed all our friends feel the same too!)

8 of them (2 gals 6 guys, the swinburners leng zai & leng lui) went Lundu for an overnight outing. But only 6 of them managed to survive and came back.
this is the lundu beach! seems nice but.....haiz!

The story was really long and sadden. It was WED evening when i received a phone call from my buddy - fenggy, she cried on d line tellin me sth like "no more, the 3 lost! " I was working and was thinking, wad d heck! dont joke wif me! & I want her to tell me again and be serious!

I was stunned when i received the news, they were in the sea and the wave suddenly "attacked" them and they were all so helpless and dragged to different directions...every1 was screaming for help and blur and almost unconcious for about an hour...those who could reached the shore also fortunately "pushed" by the wave de...they actually thot they were going to drown also.
In kch here, im so far the 1st one to get the news and i rushed to lodge police report simpang tiga here and rushed up to Lundu wif feng's mum after i informed them.
(now this moment as i was writing, bulu roma goose bump arh when recall of all this)

Along the way up to lundu (take ard 2 hours), the sky was pouring rain and i was praying hard helplessly, another sms came in, phoebe was found alive, 1 guy - ahsian found breathless, and XiaoMao - Tian Hao still missing. I dont know this is considered good news or bad news, becos pheebs was blessed BUT BUT BUT...how bout the other 2..??!!

Dwell the night off..xiao mao still not found, next day(thurs)..i drove up again and wif those guys (fred,chung, veslie them...) walked ard the beaches into sea to shout and look for him, hopefully alive.....WHILE THE STUPID FUCK UP RESCUE TEAM ACTION ACTION DO NTH THERE, SMOKING, CHIT-CHATTING and KENDURI SOMEMORE!!! I REALLY HATE THEM SO MUCH THAT I FEEL WANT TO SLAP THEM ON THEIR ANNOYING DARN FACE AND KICK THEIR F**KING ASS OFF!!

the day passed so fast and the sky was getting dark again, another day gone but xiao mao still out there in the sea. Hearts were really pain, we were all so cold up there due to the wet weather and was wondering, How bout him? he's alone out there in the sea (probably) without baju somemore, and so so so damn cold.
Thurs night was the ceremony held for Ah Sian, everyone was in deep shit, not knowing why all this can be happened? all these night, most of us din sleep well, we chat over d net through the nights and pray pray pray for the unfortunate one. Stil hoping to see him safe and sound.
Next day ,FRI, i went to work with a heavy heavy heart. ard 10am sth i received phone call which i really dont want to accept the bad news, Xiao Mao was found breathless on the other shore. I immediately broke down, knocked mysef on the wall and rushed out from office, got in car, shoot up to lundu. Thunders stroke me and its already totally hopeless! yelling and cryin in d car all d way but it did not help anything. Friends were informed and another ceremony was held for him. The next morning Xiao Mao was buried and the next day we sent him out to the sea....
Can you imagine we have to attend 2 funeral of our dearest friends in a week time??
There's too too too much to tell, I could not write every details how we all faced the tragedy especially their family members who lost their beloved sons. This is sth really worst that I personally never met in my life, things were too sudden and unexpected, a lot of things we havent say or havent do, totally no mental preparation for THE LOST at all. We Lost our BELOVED 2 FRIENDS @ ONE TIME. This is too far worse than breaking up wif bf or wad, becos this we know it is for FOREVER! not having them back wif us anymore, not hearing their giggling sound anymore, not seeing their funny expressive adorable face anymore, not appearing their nick when playing DOTA anymore, not popping out their MSN names signing in again! NO MORE! NEVER BE THE SAME ANYMORE!!
( phoebe got some post on these last year in her blog DEC 2007 after the incident! if you wana know more )

I used to love beaches and seas, but now...I hate sea and it can b very cruel..and i think most of them were persistent phobia towardz seas! Sea took away our dear friends!
Time flies really fast, it has been 9 months and thinking bout it sometimes really bring us down and moody, things were stil so clear in our mind like it just happened yesterday.

Hey! Those you people out there! Year end, pls lah! dont fool and risk ur own life out there playing in the sea arh! this is really a lesson to all..I bet u all are the same, I used to flipped through the newspaper last time and when we came to this kind of news, it is JUST PURELY A NEWS to us..and we din learn the lesson or feel the pain when things never happen to our ownself or ppl around us! NOW!! When i see such reports on losing the love ones in any kinds of accident, I will really feel sorry for them and recalled the pain when things happened last Nov.
***Another highlight ! I damn hate & Tulan the rescue team or police on duty that time, they are all SHIT! Dont know wad the government up to! Hiring those deadwood and not even having proper/functioning equipment to save life during emergency! ***

Sian & Hao...We still miss you 2..every now and then...the memories cannot be faded away..
hao & sian @ prom night
bye for now...... -Zz-
