It was really bad. I wanted to find a friend whom I had lost contact for a good number of years now on facebook. The problem was that I spelt his surname with an extra 'e'. It was supposed to be 'chong' but I spelt it as 'cheong'. So to my horror, the next page showed a pic which being blurred looked similar to him. And it was a 'R.I.P' profile. From the brief moment I read the profile, apparently the person was brutally murdered in Amsterdam. He was shot a number of times in the head in a robbery or something. For the amount of time I mistook that person for my friend, I was utterly shocked. How could such a thing have happened?
Thank God I had enough sense to look up the church website he was featured since he serves as a pastor there presently. Then I realised that I had spelt his surname wrongly. Then I started to recover, so to speak. The whole episode was just so traumatising. Though I may not know the person, my heart goes out to him. Thinking bout the episode still gives me the creeps since the blurred photo really does look like my friend......
