    Hi dear classmates:
    It is sad, sad sad, we need contribute our Nar Ye fund for his funeral and for supporting his family. It is the best we can do now.
    Another suggestion to our dear classmate to evaluate our balancing life.
    * The longer we stay, the more this kind of sad news will hear, the less of our classmate counting, so value our relationship and childhood friends.
    * Life is short, don’t stretch your exhaustion brain and still-healthy body working. Enough is enough, take the retirement at or before 65 years old.
    * You must know exactly to Love YOURSELF, it sounds selfish, but be practical. Don’t lie to yourself , be honest yourself.
