Dream

Dear friend,
How are you doing up there?
Hope you are fine.

Had a dream last night.
Was walking along a park where I met a friend walking his dogs.
And he just pointed out, asking who is that friend standing behind you.
I turned around and you were there.
Together we just took a long bus ride and chatted along the way.
After the end of the ride, you were gone again.

Weird but it feels comforting to see you again.

Until we meet again my friend.

When you get caught in the rain with no where to run
When you're distraught and in pain without anyone
When you keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes and you feel so far away
That you just can't find your way home
You can get there alone
It's okay, once you say

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain
And if you keep falling down don't you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly
And you'll find what you need to prevail
What you say is

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

And when the rain blows, as shadows grow close don't be afraid
There's nothing you can't face
And should they tell you you'll never pull through
Don't hesitate, stand tall and say

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

I can make it through the rain
And I live once again
And I live one more day
And I can make it through the rain
(Yes you can)
You will make it through the rain

bro... this is for all who loves you...

Dear Eujin.....

I am sorry we failed to defend the title we won in 2006 and 2007. It just wasn't the same without you physically alongside when we fight during our races. Something was missing and everyone felt it.

The team rowed with their hearts and we did the best we could. The margin of defeat was split seconds in the semis and I couldn't help but wish if only you were in the line up.

It was selfish of me to always place you beside me for all the races we had. You always had the aura of making those around you push harder and feel that secure calmness before a crucial race. I still remember the sava races we had, when you lost the paddle but still carried on motivating and pushing us on to finish the race. When we entered the finals, you made up for the earlier race by paddling even harder. The final burst, when everyone was tired, I could still hear you shouting "ho sei liao" to encourage us to go on and give our last ounce of energy. The boat responded and we overtook PNP at the final buoy. What a race. Like you said before, "easily the best race I had."

all that remains now, are just fond memories. memories of paddling and joking around. memories of your voice and strength in the boat.

I can only wish that all those who loved you dearly, will find a way, somehow to carry on, like what you would want us to do. Losing you was the biggest setback our team could have, and dragonboating will never be the same again.

to a dear friend, Eujin,

Matt

For You

2 Years ago when NTU Canoeing first took part in MR500 DragonBoat Race, you were with us. We swept the Gold for Men Open.

1 year ago, the race got tougher, we were nearly crash out of the Semis. With determination and you with us fighting side by side, we defend our Men Open Title 2 times in a row.

This Year, 3 Days ago, same race, same venue, same boat, but without you, we can only be the Champion of Plate Final. You may be up there laughing at us. Another Plate. We had that for Sava and we got it again this MR. We failed to defend the Title, but we won with pride, with clear lead in Plate Final.

It was hard for us to take for this year MR500, our Power Rower, Motivator was not there. The voice that we had hope so much during race was not there. Deep with us, we felt your presence. As what Gabriel said in Semis at Start-Line, think of what you want to achieve for this Semi, think of someone whom you want to win this race for. The first person I thought of rowing for was you, for you, win for you, row in honour of you. Fabian echoed you out, speak of how your presence have created that "life" for the 20 individual canoeists on a Dragonboat. Tearfully, he speak, our hearts were with you. Many who have known you couldn't hold back the tears. That's how you have touched the people around you. For you, the whole Boat delicate this race for you. We shall row for Mighty Eujin and make him proud. We rowed with 21 person on board, you were with us.

It's a Tough Semi. Same as last year's semis, we got 2 NUS Boats in our Semi and the up and coming SAFRA. It's a tough fight. Only the Fastest Boat and 2 Best 2nd Position can get into Final. We had a good start, we took the lead. Everyone was rowing with all his might, up and up the cycle, putting their energy to win this, was for you, I swear. We lost the usual Frequency and Stroke but it was uncontrolled. Everyone was dying to win for you. Till the last charge, it was still a close fight. We lost out by a whisker. Ended up third and was knocked out of Grand Final but got into Plate Final.

We did what we should be doing in Plate Final. We won. Despite not entering the Grand Final slot, we believe in ourselves. And the hard earn Plate was for you. Everyone misses you. I am still thinking that you are sitting behind me, echoing every stroke we pull. All that was like Yesterday only. The NTU Canoeing team is honoured to have you, a Strong Fighter, Passionate Rower and an Excellent Motivator. For every race we race, there's always the slot for you on the boat and in our heart.

Memories..
