It was 2:45 a.m. at Batu Tiga toll plaza

The girl who drops by regularly, who quietly asked me for assurance before having a tumor in her breast removed, who actually shares lame jokes... she is...


On the front page of Malay Mail were the details of the call that Kelvin received last night. Rashween is really gone. Jagdeep is still in Intensive Care Unit, in coma.

Jagdeep has always been the butt of all jokes at MGS Taekwondo. We called him black, we called him Singh, we called him long pole... and he laughs along. When my brother Kelvin fell into a manhole, Jagdeep did not hesitate to jump in so that his friend would not have to be alone down there. It didn't really occur to him to shout for help first but yeah, Jagdeep's like that.

Pray for his physical recovery and later for mental strength so he can accept his girlfriend's passing. Yes, he was the driver. All three passengers died.

And friends, don't speed.
