A tribute that is long overdue

There are many times, in the past 2 years, when i want to enter something in this blog dedicated to this great person that i have the privilege to know. Perhaps, it's the fact that i don't know much of Eujin and my then aloofness in our university days that impede our friendship. However, i finally found the courage to enter something in this blog as Christmas draws near. Throughout the 2 years of following this blog, i realized how much Eujin had been an inspiration to many and still have, myself including. If there is anyone that embodies the values of humility,discipline, friendship, love and courage i would say that Eujin is the one such fine example. Eujin has the amazing ability to seemingly bring the best out of everyone around him with his sheer determination and brillance. The world is definitely a lesser place without him. Still i wouldn't mourn his loss, for his life is about courage, and i choose to be brave and celebrate his life, the life of Ooi Eujin. Here's a snip of the lyrics of the movie theme song i heard from the movie "Ladder 49". Hope this will be a message of courage to Debbie and Eujin's loved ones.

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on

Just a little correction..

Hi dear,

I didnt clock under 5 hours, just under 6.. but somehow I knew I wasn't really running alone this year when I broke the 39km mark. At that point, I felt like you were suddenly beside me pushing me to go on. I still had a lot of strength left when I completed this year's marathon. Probably it's the strength given to me by my own angel.

Still very dearly missed by all at home.

Loving you always,
Debbie

A Good News to Share With You, Eu Jin

Hello Eu Jin,

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 was held on 6 Dec, Sunday.
Debbie has made it in Full Marathon.
She clocked her personal best timing within 5hrs.
I know you will be proud of her just like how I feel now.

year 2009

Time has not slow down since the day you left us, and everything else still has to go on. i'm reaching the last year of my uni life, and i cant help but keep recalling that u said u will be there for my convocation.

Recently i'm not sure why but i left ur presence more than ever. this gave me a mixture of feelings of happiness and guiltiness. i'm guilty because of my mediocre results and the only thing i feel that u might be proud of is that i got my license within 3 months.

Nonetheless, continue to keep the family safe and sound. =)

miss you
xue

A question that came too late.....



Last week I ran into Lee Lim, a pri school friend whom I haven seen for a long time.
We had lunch on Fri and I asked him,

"Do you still remember Eu jin? I saw him a few years at the train but I didn't call him because he look very different now, I cannot confirm if it is him..."

And from there I learnt about what happened and the sadness and shock is just indescribable..
I am sorry to know about this after so long as I was oversea then till last year and more guilty not having to go up and talk to him when I had the chance...

I recently published my first comic book, and he has always been encouraging and supporting me last time, believing I will be a great artist. And I know he will be there to support me too now.

I will not grief for your loss, but to live to the fullest, juz like he will always do :)

Bro,

I just wanna say that though we met briefly during NS, that doesn't mean you aren't in my heart. Life can be cruel, taking away the nicest of people, but i think it is testimony to the wonderful person you are, that till today, a lot of people still miss and think about you. I think if there is anything all of us can learn, and that is to treasure our loved ones, and never taking them for granted. Honour but i will, with you as my inspiration, work towards being a better person.

Mind full of thoughts.. of You.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of black
And starlight in your eyes of brown

Looking back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to you then
And I’d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before

It seems like yesterday once more.

Love,
Deb

In my dreams

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I’ll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I’ll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

Have so much to tell you, and really wish I could talk to you again.

Love,
Deb

Angel

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Yo bro,
hear this song over the radio and thought of you.
Hope up there is a better place than down here.

Missing you ever so deeply..

"Can't Cry Hard Enough"

I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
For no reason whyI can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is an empty chair

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
For no reason whyI can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Missing you dearly always. Sweet memories of you live deeply in my heart as if everything happened only yesterday. Take care and till we meet again.

Love,
Me.
