7 Feb 2009Dear Friends,
I just heard about this shocking news from Azmi and managed to talk to Ann (Kesavan's wife) this morning as well. (Azmah also tried to contact me as well.)
This sudden demise is most certainly a shock to all of us...after some 36 years, we get to see a dear old friend whom Azmah managed to trace and he made his jovial appearance when we gathered at Azmah's home.
According to Ann, the family is arranging for a prayers service for Kesavan. We can gather to pay our last respects during this arrangement via attendance. Ann will keep us all informed as to the arrangement which has been scheduled to be on 21 May 2009 (Thursday).
Ann can also be contacted using Kesavan hp 016 2013319
We can hardly get enough time to catch up with Dr T Kesavan and he has already left us. We all shall certainly missed him.
Regards
Peng Huat.
Dear Friend..
I knew Kesavan since our schooldays. His dad drove Kesavan in his Morris Minor to school. Coincidently my neighbour in Kg Kenangan worked as a maid in his house.. She told me now & then about him.. Dia seorang insan yang nakal, kelakar dan baik hati.. Short hair..plump. . jalan bongkok-bongkok. .That's Kesavan whom I grew up with 40 yrs ago.. That's why dia kena buli. Not forgetting how Sheng Hwa sold his hand made `dawai sidai kain' spec with coloured blue see thru paper tightly gummed to him for 1 ringgit.. In fact I was there masa urusan jual beli itu berlaku.. I masih ingat during art class when all of us was ask to do a face mask. Kesavan did a neat and nice face mask of Abraham Lincoln.. me.. with my Spiderman mask..
Last month he rang me up wanting to know about the new regimen of drugs for treating HIV. Then he told me that he will be going to KB sometimes this month. Ada urusan pasal Occupational Safety & Health Programme... anyway.. kita yang merancang tapi Tuhan yang menentukan..
This morning while driving to work.. I saw his number calling me.. Without knowing that it was his wife.. Jokingly I said ` Hello Dato.. Whats up.. R u in KB ? Then I heard a slow down tone of his wife.. `Is this Encik Azmi..Kesavan classmates ? I wanna inform u that my husband had just passed away on the 7th May..'
I cm tak percaya tp seterusnya saya meneruskan conversation dan dia meminta utk diberitakan kepada rakan-rakan yg lain...
Sama-sama lah kita tafakur 1 minit bagi mengenangkan beliau..

Dear frens,
Exactly 3 months when we met for the first time after 30 years...... and now he's gone.
Just a week before our reunion on the 7 Feb 2009 my urged to trace more frens was very strong. Though i am not that close to him during our school days, i never omit his name from the list. At abt 6pm i googled his name and the result was successful. I called her clinics and his staff confirmed he is our age and from Johor but she didn't know exactly which part of Johor.
Next step, the staff asked me to call his mobile. Without much hesitation, I called him and yes he answered my call. After a brief introduction, he remembered me yg kecik2 tu kan, yg hingus2 tu kan, yelah nama pun budak hingusan!
We were exchanging contact no and email. I told him my intention and he was in his highest spirit to meet us.
I will make him one of my surprises for the day and he absolutely agreed with my idea. I planned, he wear my jubah when he enter my hse but on the very day " i malu lah mah" said he. It's ok..i don't mind if he didn't wear the jubah, it was just my crazy idea!
But he was in a hurry, and we missed taking our class photo with him.Oh God, if only we cld rewind the moment.
After seeing my photos at flickr, he commented " r u on steroid?". Then i asked him why. So he said i look bloated,
i believe this is an honest remark from him and it nails into my head. But he assured my medication is free from steroid. Then i review my diet and work extra hard.
Those sweet memories with my dear fren Dr T.Kesavan.

The face I love and long to see is gone...
But the vision and memory of you remains.
May God give strength to the loved ones and the bereaved that you left behind.
Ann, if you need a shoulder to cry on or any help.....I am always here for you....

They Are Not Long
They Are Not Long, the Weeping and the Laughter,
Love and Hate and Desire
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the Gate.
They Are Not Long, the Days of Bliss and Roses:
Out of a Misty Dream.....
Our Path Emerges For a While
THEN CLOSES......
Within a Dream
