"A MOTORCYCLIST died after colliding with a taxi on Wednesday morning.
They were travelling towards one another in opposite directions when the incident occurred at the signalised T-junction at Expo Drive.
The motorcyclist, a 33 year-old Singaporean man, was riding along Upper Changi Road East towards New Upper Changi Road, while the taxi driver was trying to make a right turn onto Expo Drive when the accident took place.
The motorcyclist sustained head and bodily injuries. He was sent to Changi General Hospital and died later that evening.
Police are appealing for eyewitnesses to call them at 1800-547-1818. "

Sad; but I know this man. He was a colleague, not a close one but we do talk on few occasions.
It was only last week when he came over to our office and he cheekily said that he's waiting for me to marry him. (He was just teasing me yea)
But now, a week later, this man, this very guy is no longer on this earth.
He's such a cheerful & easy going fella. I couldn't believe that he left, just like that.
I heard the news on wed but later dismissed as a joke cos my other colleague was smiling when he told my manager.
But when I checked with manager this morning, Vincent was already gone.
It's kindda hard to accept isn't it, that someone that you know just suddenly pass on.
You can't avoid when Death comes knocking your your door.
Although his death may have no/slight impact on some of our everyday life but still......

You can never see him climbing up the stairs again,
Will never hear him shout "hello" to you,
Will never hear him trying to promote his friend's phone to you......
Never anymore.
His departure had me really realized that living life to the fullest each day is as important as oxygen is to blood. You'll never know when you are going to leave this world.
Not all of us are lucky to live till you're married or see your kids or maybe even, till you take your CPF fund. For all you know, you might be in somewhere unfamiliar tomorrow.
So, show appreciations to those you love and live/work/play like there's no tomorrow.
Lastly, Farewell Vincent.
May You Rest In Peace.
You will be miss, by me, by fellow colleagues, by TNT.
