Tribute to Phua
Well, i guess life just play its role well, the circle of life will never stops turning.Phua was a great guy in fact, he has great leadership ability (being a monitor for the past 5 years, getting tortured by all the barbaric monkeys), overwhelmed by stupendous responsibility, and i really owe my respect for such a person like him. Not to boast about him or what, its the truth that he's such a great person.Some of the clancies attended the funeral (including me) just to pay our last tribute for his late father, and to shed our deepest condelences. He has been brave through out the night, from what i can see, holding back his tears so hard despite such calamity took place in his life. I salute his bravery, his courage and boldness. Don't worry phua, your dad will be returned to his Creator, he will be leaving a life-long legacy, and we shall all pray and hope for the best, when it is our turn, we shall all unite there.

i shall want to add that when i saw wei keat that night, the first thing he did was to come and try make us comfy, not giving us any feeling of being at a 'funeral'. I wanted to show him sympathy, but it is just so weird. I mean, phua is a guy who is quite strong in mind, (thought he has mood tantrums from time to time) i'll really feel as if i insulted him is i really started to pity him, and saying stuff like 'come on, just cry it out' i just feels weird somehow. however, i might not be able to say what i want to say to u face to face, but what i'd like to tell u is, no matter whats happens, 5 Clancy is always within ur call, phua. we will always be somewhere near u, helping you when you are off course. Phua's mum and repeatedly told me that she feels that phua is gradually sliding off the main track. she hopes that we, as his friends, will always be there for him, help him when the time is right so that he, will not change into someone we dont know, but rather a person who will be successful in his life. Before phua's father passed away, he too told phua that he needs to be strong to face his mistakes, but be wise to not repeat them again. Phua, your mum and dad will always be there for you. bear that in mind. even at his deathbed, i daresay that your father still cares very much for you, and that he has confidence that you will one day be an individual that will make him proud.
i had been with friends with phua since standard 2-3, and our friendship was tightening when we joined tae-kwon-do together. i used to bully him all the time, and even back then, phua never fight back but to play along with me. he's one who really cares for his friends. back then, late Mr Phua does come and overlook our competitions. i still remember the day when phua won the overall champion for the under fifteens, and the glory that he and his dad shared. Time flew past and both of us stopped tae-kown-do. Yet, fate drew us back and we went to the same secondary school. However, we were not very close in either form 1, 2, or 3.Form four came and we managed to build back some of our friendship, but deep down, i know it's quite impossible to regain the friendship we used to have back then. Still, i tried. Whether u realise it or not, i can see when you are happy and when you are not. HOwever, i never went forward to try and talk you out of it. But i sent janz to talk to you, since u are better friends with him than me. What i want to tell u now is that i'll still be here for you when you need me.
*p.s. congrats to phua as his hair is finally long and SOON, he can style his hair like paul.
