My cousin, being only 35 years old, passed away...
I was shocked.
It was largely attributed to his lifestyle, not exercising, drinking with business friends, smoking (since secondary school now less), too much of work.
He passed away due to overwork... around middle of June, he just collapse while walking with his friends.
Earlier he complained to my aunt of heart pain at times, yet he did not go do a through checkup, instead just saw some sinsei and rely on Chinese medicine.
He just had a BMW not long, a new bungalow, and a wife he just married few years back. His wife care and supported for him much when he started the business... yet now he is no longer there to enjoy his hard earned toil..
I know about the 3 brother's life, the lives of my mum's sister (one of the many aunts), and she had worked at a nightclub before, and met this man who gave her the three children. Yet sadly, he wasn't serious and left her soon after. She had to struggle with an unsupportive grandma and finally moved out...even remarried later on only to have her 2nd hubby died in a car accident due to drunk and hitting the divider...
All 3 finished high school, without any degree or higher qualification. They had to work odd jobs, struggle. They were very bad kids when younger, as I used to hear stories where they cheated their mum off her money, sold off their bikes, cheat money for tuition fee and such. Only the eldest brother was the most successful, as he fought hard to become successful after he woke up from being spoiled one day.
I am happy for him and his 2nd brother, whom worked under him. They both were doing well (only the 3rd brother is still stubborn and remain his own way, yet with a job just that he like to dress up too much like some rich man and talk like he knows alot)... yet suddenly the eldest passed away with conditions of a heart attack, and suspected conditions due to his smoking habit last time (he smoked like packets a day of 20s when he was young)... it is just saddening and a waste...
I am sad for them... the mother cried with tears, much tears of pain and suffering and love for him...
I just hoped he got a longer time to live... yet I know things happen for a reason, and only God knows why... I am truly sorry for his wife, his mother and brothers... hope they can see through it...
Take care of your health when you are young, exercise, eat well and avoid smoking (even if u do smoke take care of the amount u take, and try quit never give up), live a balance lifestyle, don't stress yourself, and take breaks, learn to relax (as life is short, I always tell ppl that too, and that life is only one, use it or lose it)
RIP cousin....
