while at BVH today, i noticed the bed beside Mr Toh was empty. the worst case scenario flashed across my mind and it was confirmed when Mr Toh told us that the ah gong has passed away this afternoon. Although i dont even know him, i felt pangs of sadness. Pretty strong pangs, i would say. i am still feeling it now. On several ocassions, we exchanged eye contact. However, no words were spoken. i think he was too weak to hold a conversation but i could have tried. perhaps make his day a little better but i didnt. and i feel bad. i hope he's in a better place now, free from all the pain.

still, i wished i didnt hold back.
