Depression can kill and it just took a friend away....
Sam was the ultimate guy... responsible, filial, kind and helpful
he was well like in camp.... the energizer we call him becoz he can run and run during basketball games and not get tired (even though he had some heart problems)...
i knew him b4 he came to the same unit as me.... and coincidentally he became my understudy..
it was with him.... that my army life become better.... things that were tasked by my superiors were not done until Sam came.. at times, i dun feel like doing and ask Sam to take it easy... but he will still continue to do... he was too responsible to slack too much.... during free time during working hours, we played ping pong with the technicians in our office, using 2 tables formed together.... after sometimes, another understudy came (the worst u can ever haf)... Sam moved to our OC's office to be OC personal assistant.... At times, he work late and cannot join us for games after office hours.. becoz he is responsible.....
also everybody like him, becoz he always help when asked....
at home.... Sam was the filial son and 2nd in the family of 4 brothers... his mum is sick and Sam has to bring his mum to hospital for checkups everytime... he once told another friend that he also wish to be like us; watch movie or go out walk walk etc during his free time... but he cant, becoz he have to be at home to look after his mum...
few mths ago... Sam ORDed....and now he has to enter the work force and support his family... our OC introduce him a job....he didnt stay long becoz he didnt like the job... he soon got another job... it was stressful and doesnt pay well....
a week ago, he tried to commit suicide at home....luckily he was stopped... he was warded at imh for depression....he could hear ppl toking to him.... last fri...his condition was better and he was warded at ttsh..... he occasionally had headaches and could hear ppl toking to him again... on sat... he couldnt take it anymore... he hanged himself...
maybe it is a release for him.....
hopefully he find a better afterlife...
