Yesterday as I was in the cinema with Agnes catching a movie, the bad news of the passing of Uncle Ong filtered down to me. It came as a shock that just like that he was gone. It was only Thursday that I just saw him at work. Though he looked under the weather I did not notice anything that would forebode the turn of events. It seems that he fell in the bathroom on that fateful Friday morning and started to bleed from the mouth. He was rushed to the hospital and admitted to ICU. By 4 pm he passed on.
