received a news today which was kinda shocking.
gary came to me early in the morning and tell me that derek had passed away.
was like so sudden.
well, this is life.
everyone has to die.
is just a matter of time.
but for derek, i may be better for him cause we all know he is suffering through all those surgery and chemotherapy.
went to the wake with weibin, gary, hana, xingtian and marco after school.
his wake was quite near to our school.
burn a joss stick for him and went in to see him for the last time.
it was really a heartbreaking moment for us.
shouldn't go into details about it.
then took a cab home from there cause i'm running late.
bath and get changed immediately upon reaching home.
then dad fetch me to the esplanade.
homer was already there setting up.
the performance was at the concourse.
waited for quite a long time.
but is alright.
they're having soundcheck before the performance.
it was about 6 plus going 7 at that time.
homer had to get in and get prepared.
then for me, i dashed though the crowds to go to raffles city to get my granola bars at the marketplace.
saw some sushi along the way and bought some to share with homer during his break.
after that, dashed back to esplanade again to watch homer performing.
was kinda late by 10mins.
and the performances had started when i reached there.
but i already tried my best to dash back from raffles city.
sorry homer.
ate the sushi with homer during the first 30mins break.
then he went back to perform and i stand at the side to watch him playing.
he trained real hard for this performance i know.
and it came out well.
hahas.
then sat down at the seats behind and chatted with him during his second break.
after which he went back to perform and i got myself a seat at the side and watch him.
to me, he played real good.
is not because of his skills but the effort he put in.
hahas.
then after the last performances, he went in and i went downstairs to wait for his call.
he asked me to wait for him at the loading bay.
and he send me home instead of following them back to NYP.
we walked to bugis from esplanade to take bus 2 home.
reached home at 11 plus.
was so tired.
but i guess homer was even more tired cause he was still having his hangover.
after which, we departed and we went home.

homer, you're the best to elmo.
loves and hugs homer.
