A Singapore illustrator has created a pair of drawings showing the late Aloysius Pang and Jayley Woo happily married.
The two drawings were put up on Jan. 24 and 25, following news that the 28-year-old Pang had succumbed to injuries sustained during reservist training in New Zealand. on Jan. 23 -- an incident that has sent shock waves across Singapore.
Both illustrations are poignant, and created within a short span of a day or two, as they show the late Singapore actor wedding his girlfriend -- an event that will no longer come to pass.
Here are the two illustrations:

And in my darkest hours, where there is no silver lining in sight, you are the one who taught me to smile and shine in hope.

It is with the heaviest heart to accept the fact of this young actor @aloypang who was died of severely injures during his reservist in New Zealand. Can’t believe that he is about the same age with me and he has gone forever as a fallen soldier... It triggered me so much as every Singaporean son around us have to go through the cycle to defend the nation. And the loss of your loved one while serving the nation is truly devastating. May there’s no more wars in the world and we don’t have to suffer tragedies like this anymore ?

Meanwhile, here’s my imagination for you @jiaqiwoo, where you’re in your fav blue and he’s in his fav black. May you stay strong still even though it’s not easy to grapple death in the face. I’m sure he is watching over you right now in the realms of paradise and forever he would be... ??
The second Jan. 25 post said:
In that fleeting time together with you, I found love of a lifetime.

Here’s the surreal moment specially done for Aloy and Jayley, in hope of minimising the regrets and becoming consolation to the broken hearts out there. It didn’t happen this time. Maybe in next life. Somewhere, somehow... You will meet again ?
Couple planned to get married
The backstory to these wedding scenes between the two local artistes is that both of them were romantically involved, but had to keep their relationship away from the public eye the past few years.
Aloysius had even talked about saving enough money and settling down with Jayley in a few years' time, before tragedy struck.
