I never thought my next entry after my previous post was another death news of my dear friend, Razi.
Razi, the cheeky guy whom I got to know in Marina Mandarin. Being the youngest in Concierge team, he was keen in learning and always being pampered by everyone.
I didnt get a chance to really work and talk with him till I was down at the reception for 1 month. We became quite close and started making fun at each other whenever we see other. Soon after, he left the hotel for his NS.
I am not sure when did he leave for Brunei training, guess it should be late last year cause he couldnt make it when I invited him to my wedding last December. But I remembered promising that I will attend his wedding with Iffah.
It came as a shock that Sunday evening when ahpiao texted me about his missing news. My first reaction was "Not him la!!" I didnt know his full name. And maybe a part of me was in denial state as well till ahpiao app me his photo in his army uniform showing his full name. That moment was the beginning of a 2-day ordeal. I prayed and wished hard that he will be saved, and that he would be alright, coming back to celebrate Hari Raya with all his loved ones.
No, it didnt came true. The next morning when I woke, news of him missing has already spread like fire. All of the MM colleagues started praying and hoping for the best. I keep telling myself no news is good news. But by the end of the day, I could no longer hold on to the hope anymore. It has been more than 24 hours. How could anyone have survived in the river, with crocodiles threats some more, for close to 36 hours? If he had been swept to shores, I am sure the rescue team would have found him. I was prepared for the worst. Part of me wished that he wasnt eaten by the crocodiles, another part of me wished that he was still alive.
That night, I am sure everyone went to bed with a heavy heart. I prayed to all kind of gods that I know to keep him alive, safe and sound.
The next morning when I opened my eyes, I received a text from Siti.. "His body has been found. But he has left us.."
My heart dropped to the ultimate. Tears started flowing out, I dunno what to do. I lost a friend. Just like that. And I haven even recover from the loss of moffy from last month. Why is all these happening?
Attended his funeral yesterday. I couldnt control my tears when I saw him being buried. He's only 20, why take him away?
Ｉ love this photo of him. But I couldnt stop tearing whenever I see it. Razi, I'll definitely miss you. Im glad we met each other in our lives. You are a hero. Now bring strength to Iffah and your family. Always in my heart.
RIP LCP Muhammad Fahrurrazi Bin Salim
