I knew him since F1, and continue to be in the same class until F4, the year which we sat side-by-side, kap lui together, copied the same homework, shared the same foul words... etc...
He was once a colleague of mine in the same company too. I saw him for a couple of times in the company cafeteria about 2 years back when my dept moved to Kulim office. We didn't talk much, because I thought we can always keep contact thru company IM or phone. But now I regret it as we didn't really talk much after the cafe-meet-up which unexpectedly turned out to be our last meeting.
He had always been a faithful friend who always provided his supports whenever I needed it as well as a cheerful friend who never failed to brighten my days back in high school time. Although he was not the center of the attraction in a group, but I always enjoyed his company because his unique way of jokes always surprised me and tickled my funny bone from a different perspective.
I thought he had changed his dept/ company during the 2 years which I hadn't seen him round... Never thought that his absence was mainly due to Leukemia treatment... and at the end the illness took him away forever, before I have a chance to say good bye...
R.I.P. my friend... for you will always be missed...
