A Tribute

mini tong. yeah. that's what we used to call him. we would gawk in awe at his rippling thigh muscles and his seemingly oversized pectorials every lesson instead of paying attention to his instructions.

listening to his didactic approach to pe lessons became - regretfully - a drag, but one thing that left deep imprints in my mind was his sincerity and warmth.
he always told that passing napfa was definitely achievable, as long as we tried hard enough.

to me, humility was his greatest virtue. i asked him about him being a commando officer and he just shrugged it off, like it was nothing. he never walked about with an air of superiority (even though he could pull it off) and would stop and chat whenever he could.


here's a tribute to you Mr Loh,
albeit came a little bit too slow.
i don't exactly know why your time went up in such a hurry,
and i know many people are feeling sorry,
but you will always be in our hearts.
God must have a reason for taking you away,
and i know we will all have to be with you some day.
you gave your life for your sport, your passion, your love.
and we see that Mr Loh, we honour that and we keep it as our oath -
to have a heart to serve and the most sincere attitude to boot,
to believe in ourselves even when things aren't looking good.
i can only pray that you are reunited with the Almighty One,
that it was truly His will that this be done.

Goodbye..

THE BLOG HAS FOUND A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

LAME...

the A levels are over, but i never expected to be confronted with another one so quickly - the exam of life.

the word 'holiday' brings scenes of me playing my ps2 all day long, chilling out at the beach and hanging out in town. i THOUGHT i would be doing all that (and more!) this time but it has turned out to be a vastly different experience.

uni applications, SAT, housework, things i've never worried about before suddenly became huge nagging monsters that are gnawing away at the joy of having completed the biggest exam in my entire life (so far :x).

rahrahrah.

anyway i've found time to go out with bbc, family and other peeps during these few days, so its not too bad. which leaves me with a hiatus which i've never thought i needed to fill ever again - at least for the next 2 years in ns?

LOVE.

im not sure why cupid chose me to be his target today.

he sauntered into Popular bookstore, hoping to find volumes 3 and 4 of the "MAR heaven" comic books. as he hurried with anticipation into the comic book section, he noticed a svelte figure in front of him. she stepped aside to facilitate his entry while him, being a gentleman, paused and gestured her to step out first instead.
she smiled a smile so sweet he could almost taste the honey in his mouth.
first arrow struck.
after perusing the collection of comics on the shelf, to his disappointment, the books he wanted were not present. as he walked off, their paths crossed once again. their eyes met. her gaze caught him off-guard and his eyes gave him away. diffidence took over and that moment - which lasted longer than it should have - ended, but was immortalised immediately in his memory.
a flight of arrows struck at once, the beast was subdued.
love at first sight? or infatuation?
he doesn't know, all he knows is that she was beautiful, as close to an angel as someone could resemble. there was a quiet playfulness and frivolity about her, yet she exuded innocence and grace.


will he ever meet her again? let fate decide. hahaha.
