I can't believe that you're seriously gone. That there's isn't a single possibility of me bumping into you like I did last year. That the last face I'd see of you is in that box, that the last picture of how you used to look like is in a flowered frame. Singapore is so small, the likelihood of meeting anyone by chance is amazingly high, but not with you anymore.
You were one of the first people I met before we even entered sports school. We talked so much when we were younger, like brothers & sisters. You gave me a ridiculous nickname "Banana Jie" cause of my yellow PL PE T-shirt. Then we drifted apart like people always do. But when we do meet, it's like its been the same all this while, you saying hi to me & giving me a hug. We'd do the usual small talk & catch up a little on each other. Somehow you'd manage to always bring a smile to my face. You seriously were an amazing person. Even though we've teased you, you never let it affect you and you just continued being who you are.
I never really knew how much you've actually made an impact on people till I went to your wake. I'm sad that you'd never get to say goodbye to all these people who loved you. I wondered what went through your mind in the last few minutes.
I think I'm only coming to terms with you being gone right now.
RIP Dom. I hope that wherever you are right now, you're making it a better place just like you did right here for all of us.
