A Note to Kelvin (1990–2009)

Hey man….

……..how are you? I’m not sure if I should ask that. You’re no longer here. It’s been 6 years. Although we have just met for a few months before you left, you have made a great impact in my life…wherever you are right now, I just want to let you know I miss you and I really thought of you today.

Today, I stepped into your school for the first time. I was there for work. Man, your school is beautiful. It reminded of the good times we had in NS. We fought, shoot, complained, laughed, played and marched together. Haha, I still remember that we learned, practised and danced hip-hop together. You are really good at it and choreographed most of the steps for the rest of the team.

As I sat near the school’s pond waiting for my mum to pick me after work, I remember how Ben and I tried to reach out to you. I can’t remember if you ever attend church with us but I am happy that you did hear us out and considered our beliefs. I also remember that we used to kayak in the man-made pond. It is such a large pond, not sure if I should call it lake because it’s not that big. Carrying those kayaks to the lake is a hassle man… haha, each person carried one end..lol.

Do you know what more of a hassle is? We have to freaking make our own raft using pipes, tires and strings. Hahahahaha, so fail…. But, you really put in so much effort in rowing. Appreciate it man. Yeah, yeah, I also remember that we played ping pong together. It’s funny how my ching chong ping pong lousy skills could win us gold.

Puncak Permai will always hold a special place in my heart. You’re always a friend whom I never judged even if you were slower than all of us in graduating/older by a year due to ‘peralihan’, or that you’re not that good in your studies. Thanks for your friendship. Thanks for the brotherhood, although I am your sister and friend. Thanks for reminding me that life is brief and that we should appreciate one another more. Thanks for indirectly reminding me that we need not think too much about the rules and regulations of friendships between opposite genders, and that genuinely loving one another is the most important of all. I miss you lots. Take care man… wherever you are. There are many times that I wish I could have done more for you. But, I trust or hope that the day you were in that road accident, in your pain, when no one is around you, you cried out to Him; this is just a little hope that I tell myself at times to ease losing you.

Take care man..miss you lots lots…

Love,
Your Super Hot-Tempered and Impatient Sister
