It was the first time that i entered my BMTC bunk that i first met Eujin. It turns out that he was going to be my buddy from then on. I think what matter most to a person when entering Army, is the people and environment ard him. Seeing other people with lousy and weird buddies, i was very glad that mine is Eujin.
Eujin tend to sleep-talk at night. There was once, while we were camping out field, eujin sat up suddenly in the middle of the night and sang very loudly,"They say that in the Army..!!!!'. i rose to a shock! he continued singing for another few verses before rolling back to his sleep and left me with the silence. The next day some of our section mates complained abt someone singing late in e night and disrupting their sleep, eujin and i looked at each other and i told everyone abt the truth, we all laughed.
Sometimes at night, we would talk while on bed and eujin would say how much he missed debbie, and how he wish he could put debbie into his big bag and bring her to Tekong! we talked until the PS came ard to warn us, thats when we stopped.
I remembered once i had fever in Tekong, eujin, under pressured from bunk mates, was 'forced' to dry clean me with a wet tower. He came, holding the tower and said,' Buddy! fever rite.. need to dry clean rite.. heehee..' and rubbed my body hardly and roughly with the tower! i stopped him and he said, 'see he dun want..'. Ever so funny, so fun to be with..
I used to tell my friends that one of the happiest days of my life is in BMTC and it would nv be so if not for eujin. So many memories we shared there and memories only owned by the two of us. Even in NTU when we met up, we would always talked abt the funny incidents we both experienced then and laughed abt it.
In NTU, i seldom study with eujin. He always asked me to but i was too lazy. Every now and then i would ask eujin for notes and tutorial solutions to copy and he would very gladly pass them to me. He was self-less.. he liked competition but he nv failed to share what he had got..
As long as Eujin was ard, there will always be laughter.. no doubt abt that.. and now he had passed on, with so many memories left behind..I will never forget him.
Eujin will be in Heaven.. Farewell for now..
To a good friend, a great person, my best buddy.
