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
