perhaps the most depressing thing that i have encountered was this. the loss of a friend.
though i wasn't very close to clifton but the 9 days that we spent together really was amazing. the late night debriefs. how his pronounciation never failed to make us laugh. how we talked about owing herbal tea. and i bought you herbal tea okay. from cheers. but you dint want to let me treat. how we talk about you working in G-Star and me going there to buy a pair of jeans even though it's men's cut. it was just little little moments that reminds me of you.
also i remember you telling me during FO that it's possible for me to join SU through you and terence. but i didn't. i regretted not joining SU in year 1. i can get to know you more. also i want to say thank you clifton for everything. for the joy and laughter you gave us to be what zilra is. i'm sorry we didn't make your first time as an FA a joyful one because we gave you last position for all 3 camps. but i hope you really did enjoy being in zilra.
'da tou da tou
xia yu bu chou
ni you yu san
wo you da tou'
just keeps repeating in my mind after i know the news. and the day before i knew of the news i still playfully called edwin clifton. cause he was joking bout me and suling. so i decided to tease him. and the next day..
it was just so sudden. and shocking. our beloved FA. and beloved friend. the memories of you will always be in our hearts. rest in peace clifton lam jia hao.
we'll miss you ah lam (alarm)
smile (:
