Stress will come upon me during my oh-so awaited trip but it'll be all worth it. To see the smiles on those faces upon our arrival in Omkoi gives me goosebumps. Because, for the first time, I know I'm doing the right thing.
On another note, if anyone had either read the papers lately, kept in tune on happenings on facebook or actually lived in the Alam Jaya, Mudun, Cuepacs region, you'd know that on Monday, 3 August 2009, Gary Leon Robert, a perimbun graduate, passed on. Not wanting to mention details of his passing, what I do want to mention is the few things I remember of him.
Gary was actually my neighbour (well, my cousin's neighbour but I practically lived in that house anyways) and I can't say I spoke to him much. But what I do know was that he was an avid badminton player. During the Thomas Cup season when I was a kid, everyone from the taman used to come out and play, and Gary had a wicked Smash. To add to that, I also remember his smile. Going to his memorial service last night, and gazing upon his body, I refuse to remember him that way.
He was humble, he was smart, he was athletic, and god was he good-looking.
He did not deserve to die. Not yet.
My condolences to Farah and your family. He will be dearly missed.
and to you my dear. Thank you again for a wonderful day. With you laughing at me as I danced as well as highlight the fact that I was 'sticky' really made me happy [as weird as that was]. Swimming with you and the others was the icing of the cake. I appreaciate you for coming over and seeing me before my trip.
You will always be on my mind sayang.
You gotta like the sound of that.
