Vincent...

Usually I dun read the msn nick of my contacts, however, one particular nick managed to catch my eye. Tim's nick wrote: "God has unfailing love... I will place my eyes on the Solid Rock... Vincent (always remembered)". I din pay attention to the first part, becos I'm not a Christian. It was the last part that bothered me. I initial a contact with Tim, and eventually I got to know about Vincent...

He passed away yesterday.

Vincent has been a good fren, a superb class rep and a wonderful person. I'm greatly saddened by his departure. I've always remember him as a sociable and cheerful person in class. He was the first to make frens with me in the new class. He has such energy in him that all of us voted for him to be the class rep. Even though it was a short time, I still remember us copying homework together, eating together, laughing at lame jokes together. I still remembered him talking about playing beach volleyball one day in Sentosa... but unfortunately, that day never come.

It saddens me that he had cancer at such an early age, it saddens me that he can no longer fulfil his ambitions, it saddens me that all his battles were in vain, and it saddens me that he has to go at such a young age, 24. Even after diagnosed with cancer, he's still determined to complete his studies. However, due to his conditions, he sometimes had to suspend 1 or 2 semester. The last time I saw him, he looked more ragged, the last time I talked to him, he told me he suffered a relapse. Now, he has left us for good. I regretted not spending more time with him before he left. I thought his condition has stabled, I've never thought that he will be gone so soon. Life is seriously damn unfair. He was a great guy. Why him?? Why cancer?? Why so soon??

Vincent, I hope u know that I've always supported you. I'll miss you, and will always remember your sunshine and affectionate smile... Rest in peace my dear fren.

小时候常常望着窗外的天空
幻想长大以后实现从前走过的美梦
长大后发现世界真的不同
不知该要往哪走
还是停在原地一动也不动
