Jayley didn’t upload any birthday greetings to Aloysius, who died in January 2019 after a military accident. Instead, she uploaded a tear-inducing video a week later on August 30 with the clip showing Jayley as a hopeful 24-year-old chatting with a more sombre 30-year-old version of herself.
“So, I met this guy, will I end up marrying him?” her younger self asked in the video.
When her older self shakes her head, the other is shocked and asked why. The former replies, blinking back tears: “He went somewhere… far, far away.”
This year, like before, some of Aloysius’ celebrity friends posted greetings on their social media accounts to remember him.
Soon after midnight, Xu Bin and Zong Zijie posted on IGS the words “Happy Birthday” against a black background.
Kimberly Chia also wrote on her page: “Don’t usually post pictures like this but just want to remember all our happy memories. Looking at all your pictures and missing you a little more today. Happy birthday.”
