Hi Jun Fa,
this is really an odd time to be writing you a note. And i think this is the best way to write, where others can read too.

I had the opportunity to interact with you for close to 9 months in OCS. And you left your impression on me, even if we didn't talk or do much together since we were from different platoons. You were selfless, helpful, kind, and you always had an approachable demeanour. I admired your plucky spirit. You were a small guy, but always one of the tough ones.

I was at your wake yesterday. Your cousin gave a small speech/presentation on you, and kiat yang and ur classmate gave testimonials too. What they said, reinforced my belief that you were a bright young man who had so much to offer, to whomever he met, wherever he went.
I said to my girl, that the you are part of the people that makes the world a better place.
And if i hope that this note reaches you, i just want to tell you that you have been an inspiration to me, simply by seeing how you were in the short time in ocs, and i want to thank you for that.

Rest in peace.

rest

it gets hard to blog nowadays. for myself i mean. How do u make your private feelings public, and ur public feelings for private viewing?

Things have been busy, and so i was reading the ridge yesterday.
what can be said, to make the happiest man, sad, and the saddest man, happy?

And this too, shall pass.
and this past week has been busy, painful and sleep is much appreciated.

angels or devils

ive been listening to this over and over.. the play count stands at 89. wah
counting blue cars stands at 20 and counting

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
