In Memories....

The day is here. Our 5 dragonboat rowers have been cremated and wat left are ashes. Their talents and future are gone with the wind. They died for their love. Their soul flow with the river. Left behind are their love ones, parents, friends and all who have met them. Everyone wept as they finally depart us. Short yet fulfilling life.

As i wrote, my heart teared. I have Reuben's song played as i wrote this entry. I dunno him personally but when i see the parents teared, my heart broke. No single parent can accept their child's death esp in a freak accident. Reuben's dad said, "Son, you are not in heaven yet. You are watching your dad crying n ur mother upset. You will not want to be in Heaven". I cried.

Watching the news on TV, watching Reuben's self recorded music video on you tube, i dunno why such young n fine talent left us. His video protrayed him as a inpirational young man, full of zest and music talent. What left will be his music. I dare not read their blogs or friendster. I know it will make me even upset. So did the remaining 4. They are very fine young man, son of Singapore. May the 5 rest in peace.

Life have to move on. Back to reality, why did such an unfortunate accident happen? Are they over confident? Are they only concern on winning? Why? There are so many unanswered questions that need to be answered. The 17 survivors are too upset to speak. Is tat true? Or are there more stories to it? As the investigation continue, many would want to know the answer.

The entire team need to explain to the nation what happen. They do not answer to the 5 rowers' parents only. The case has made public and everyone deserves to know the answer. I was very disturbed when i found out tat no one wish to speak openly. The deceased are sons of Singapore. Singaporeans want to know the answer. However, we will have to wait till the authorities conclude the investigation. Sad....
