Dedicated to my friend, Kowi

I had always liked this song, but I had never really bothered to figure out what the lyrics were talking about, until the day you are gone. May you fly with god speed to the your new home. Our platoon spirit will live on strong in our hearts, and you will always be in our memories.

I'm terribly sorry that I cannot see you off tomorrow. Hope you will understand my difficulties.

To everyone reading this, cherish your friends. Dun wait until they are gone then start to regret.

This is for you, Kowi.

Friends Are Friends Forever


Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through


But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong


And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends


And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show


We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong


And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends


And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends


To live as friends


Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends


No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

So many things happened and so many things to do... Damned irritated Posted by Picasa

The Passing Away of a Great Friend

Attended the funeral wake of my platoon mate from OCS last night. A great guy with a bright future just gone like that.

His abundant energy and Ronaldinho-esque smile is always so infectious and have left a deep impression in everyone and anyone who knows him. He is one unique and special person that you would remember for the rest of your life even though you might have only know him for a day. His jovial ways and friendly demeanour will always perk everyone up when everyone is tired and the mood is heavy. I still can remember him singing his favourite song under the SAFTI tower...

He will be loved and remembered by every single life he has touched. May he Rest In Peace…
