Struggles

The two hearings are at 9.15am and 10.00am respectively. I almost attended one of them, which will be about J.

But I don't. I get back to office and compose this post. 

Well, I admit that it's nothing really noble for resisting my feti fulfillment. 

I was on medical leave yesterday, and getting another half-day off is just too obvious, although AL is considered an entitlement. 

If there are only media and family of J attending the hearing, the presence of a stranger like me might be very awkward. 

Also, I try to convince myself that it's not worth getting deep into a deceased's life. I shall focus on my own life instead. 

It is a tug of war between desire and sensibility. 

In the past, I would text PD regarding my struggle (since he is the only person on Earth who knows my nec feti), so that I would feel being heard by someone. However, I should start trying to stop my annoying and energy-draining acts. Instead, I vent everything here. 

Still, I do have the will to shout it out to a human, instead to the black hollow blog.

I choose not to attend and not to voice, but part of my mind seems rebellious right now. 

The tough and suffering double struggles.

Desire and Curiosity

Coroner hearing of J will be held in the morning later, presumably. His demise was one of the major cases that troubled me last year.

Since what he involved is quite relevant to me, I wish to know the closure on how the mishap happened. Although highly covered in newspaper last year, I am not sure whether the investigation findings will be reported tomorrow.

On the other hand, my nec devil has awaken again. I wonder what 'shirtless' means and how the condition was after almost 50 hours.

Well, I am still thinking whether to apply for morning leave or to sneak out of office just to confirm the queries which have haunting me for months.

大学生坠楼亡
母网上留言：永远想念你

去年才大学毕业的27岁男子昨坠楼身亡，母亲无法接受，今早上网留言“永远永远想念你”。
坠楼案发生在昨晚8时45左右，地点在宏茂桥10道第459座组屋15楼一个单位。
死者是27岁的梁健雄，据面簿资料，死者毕业自新加坡管理学院 - 皇家墨尔本理工大学（SIM-RMIT），修读商业管理。
他去年8月刚毕业。从照片来看，死者皮肤黝黑，比较健壮。
死者的母亲今早在亲友的陪同下到殓尸房认领遗体，泪流不止，另一名与死者年龄相近的女子抵达时更是大声痛哭。过后两人抱头哭成一团，令闻者辛酸。
死者家人因为悲伤过度，拒绝受访。
与死者一家住在宏茂桥同一组组屋的扬女士说，死者是一名推销员，时常出国公干。
杨女士说，事发时听见传来巨响，过后看到穿着深色上衣和浅色短裤的死者，面朝上倒在组屋底层。当时，有一群人赶紧上前帮忙，但相信为时已晚。
死者母亲今早7时在面簿留言悼念儿子，字字道出不舍。
她写道：“亲爱的儿子，你选择用这个方式离开我，让我无法接受，我们的母子情只有短短的27年，上帝太不公平了，为什么要你这么早去报到？现在我只希望你在上帝的身边。我永远永远都会想念你！”
事发原因还在调查中。

OCBC Cycle rider dies of head injuries
Avid cyclist excited about taking part in event; investigations still ongoing

By May Chen

IN THE build-up to Sunday's OCBC Cycle Singapore, all Mr Chia Wee Kiak could think about was his maiden ride in Singapore's biggest cycling event.

Having been an avid cyclist for about three years, his excitement was apparent on his Facebook page, where a post on the eve of the event read: "So excited! Can't wait for the race on Sunday."

Tragically, that was to be Mr Chia's last update.

The national serviceman died early yesterday morning, succumbing to the serious head injuries he suffered from a fall early on in the 59km Super Challenge event.

His cousin, Ms Angel Soo, told members of the media at the wake yesterday: "One happy thing from this is that he left doing something he enjoyed very much, and he left joining something that he had been wanting to take part in.

"We do not blame the organisers."

Event owner and organiser Spectrum Worldwide released a joint statement with title sponsor OCBC Bank, expressing their "deepest condolences to the family".

The event's official website and Facebook page also took on a greyscale colour scheme yesterday, expressing sympathies to Mr Chia's family across the site banners.

Investigations are still ongoing, but it is believed that Mr Chia - who eyewitnesses said was wearing a helmet - fell on his own about 20 minutes into his ride while descending the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.

The former Republic Polytechnic student fractured his skull, and the fall caused blood clots on the brain. He underwent 13 hours of surgery at the Singapore General Hospital and was warded in the hospital's intensive care unit until his death.

Said Miss Saffire Ng, 20, who has known Mr Chia for seven years: "His best friends weren't quite supportive of him joining the event because they felt it was dangerous, as it was his first time and he was joining the Super Challenge.

"He was a really nice guy to all his friends... and tried his very best to be there for them whenever they needed him."

Mr Chia's younger sister Jia Yin, 20, also took part in the OCBC Cycle Singapore event, although she did not ride abreast of him.

This is the first fatality in the six-year history of the event.

More than 11,500 riders took part this year, the bulk of them signing up for the mass participation rides on Sunday.
