How can strangers be friends ? I asked again, how can friendship builds over a period of time with nothing but total distance ?
It all started way back in year 2003, that was the year when one fateful incident has made me pick up the phone and called to complain the service of a local securities firm. A guy picked up my call, and next thing I know, we were arguing about something so silly that I could not even remember what it was about. That was the moment, I came to know a stranger by the name of Wilson Sng.
Throughout the years, we have worked together but apart. He is a brilliant broker and I am sure, a person with great charisma, and a person who values his life, family and loved ones. There was never a necessity for us to meet, and even if there was, we told ourselves.., we could always have tea some other time. Some other time, and the period lingered on until today.
Little do I know that God has His plans for Wilson. On October 9th, 2006, Wilson was called to rest by the Lord, and I was shocked to my very soul. I was sad, so sad. We won’t get a chance for our tea now…and.... there will never be a chance. It is already too late.
If eternity is where he is heading, I wish him a sacred place next to the Lord. I may not know this guy deep enough, but know him enough to feel his lost and saddened over his demise. I can still hear his voice in my little head, and I know that I will hold on to that memory for as long as live.
When you know strangers like how I do.., a friendship can build over a million miles. This ship may not have a destination now, but it will always have a place.. deep in my heart. May you rest in peace.., Wilson Sng. You will truly be missed !
