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
