.past.present.future.: Goodbye... Reuben

I was almost in a shock.. initially im pray it was not you when i saw the name Reuben Kee En Rui.. but the moment your photo was shown.. i just cant believe it is you..

you.. one of the 5 dragon boaters drowned..

you.. who was my captain..

you.. brighten our days with your smile..

you.. cheer me and motivate me when my energy ran low..

you.. when i express the decision to quit.. you actually call me up and ask me why..

I can still remember those days very clearly.. after each training.. especially after the sea training at Kallang.. we will all go to bath together, and then all walk to the Beach Road Market for lunch... We will all chat happily... as we walked.. and i will just sing loud loud.. then you will shout at me to shout up but i don care.. you are like a happy dark giant with a big warm smile...

I just cant sleep last night.. toss here and there.. every now and then.. you will just flash into my mind.. its just that.. we have so many happy times together.. and now you are gone..

I will dedicate this blog to you... Reuben.. or shall i say Ruby.. i will really miss you...
