Sombre weekend...

The Perak-Penang Bar Games were held in Ipoh this past weekend. I was the organising chairman of the games this time round... It was supposed to be a fun time with meeting friends and having games and drinking non stop... but something happened which threw everything awry.

Whilst we were playing futsal, a friend collapsed face first unto the court... I did all I could... One of the Penang girls and I performed CPR to try to revive him but it was not to be... He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

I just can't believe it... Its surreal... All I know is that his demise is a tragic loss to the bar and to his friends. He was by all accounts a penultimate gentleman and a great sportsman. A great friend and a wonderful family man...

We will miss him...

Rest In Peace Thina...
