A needed day of rest

I took leave today to have a post holiday rest. See.. Thing is: Whenever you have a holiday, you will usually need another holiday to rest from the actual holiday. However, I am really glad to have this day off.

Other than the opportunity to rest, to play with dogs, to recollect the weekend, to have meals with parents, to do the Christmas video clip, I received bad news early in the morning when I woke up. I was really glad I had a day off.

An ex-colleague of mine passed away yesterday morning. That kind of set the mood for my day. However, it was only in the evening that I knew what happened. (Shan't blog what happened) I can't say that I know him well but we were good enough. Thing is - I was just thinking of him a few weeks back.. I was wondering how's life for him now, where's he working now. But because I lost his number, it just became a passing thought. For awhile when I heard the news, I wished for so many things. I wished I was a better friend. I wished that thought wasn't passing. I wished I had made the effort to find out his number from our common friends.

2nd death I know of this month. I guess.. if I am feeling the pain, the family must be feeling real bad.
