Got the shock of my life when yesterday morning a friend called me and told me one of our golfing members Eugene passed away in SJMC of a heart attack.He was 58 years old,fit as a fiddle and such a good friend.We just could not believe it.It was so sudden and unexpected,never heard of him being sick or anything like that.He was so fit that he would fly back from Bangkok (he had his business there) on Saturday and was on the golf course with us early Sunday morning.
A nice guy,soft spoken,a true friend,a fierce golfer.why?why?
One would hardly expect this to a person like him.Heart attacks will strike anytime and anyone so we have to be on the alert all the time.It has been known to hit people in their twenties upwards and its good to learn more about this .For us older people we realise that we are living on bonus time and that we can go anytime through so many reasons.That is why when you are old enjoy life while you can, think no bad things about others,always count your blessings and be happy that you are alive and in good health.Good health is not automatic,it is something which you have to cultivate in order to get.Enough sleep,no over indulgence in anything,eat the right food ,exercise,regular check ups are all ingredients for good health.We all know this but how many of us practise it?
When someone you know suddenly passes away it sets you thinking.When is my turn?What should I do with the rest of my life?This I believe will make you a better person and look at the people around you with new perspectives.Life is short,its unpredictable so live it while you can.
RIP my good friend Eugene Tan.
