18th February, morning, Caecar our very talented theatre person, Butoh dancer, contemporary dancer, designer of set, costumes, left us. It was such a shock for Joe & I and I’m sure the many hundreds or more who knew him, because we heard nothing of an illness that we need to worry over. According to Gan and Kok Man, he wanted to keep the information away from his friends so they need not worry. And according to Gan, Caecar was strong. Not only did he look after his brother’s wedding in December, he also prepared for his last days so that everything is in place. We will miss you Caecar. Rest in peace.
