For the past 3 days, i was feeling lost & trying to maintained my composure. I guess i did well till i saw his photos or having a chat with my various friends through phone. Recapping on poly days, how outgoing or cheerful Jeremy is... it is never easy for us to accept this fact... that he left us.
I guess if you had been reading news or watching it on TV, you should had heard about this freak incident. Yes, it appears in all newspaper headlines for last 3 days. And its unfortunate that my friend was one of them... unfortunate that 5 young lads lads left their family & friends without having their last words. I took a while before i can type this post. One of the deceased is Reuben Kee, whom was representing Singapore as Mr Singapore this year. Apart from Jeremy & Reuben, the rest of them are Mr Chee Wei Cheng, 20, Mr Stephen Loh Soon Ann, 31, and Mr Poh Boon San, 27.

Jeremy was always a role model in our poly days. He always fool around and entertained us with his cold jokes or funny movements. Never do we had a minute with him around, feeling bored. Despite his initial hiccups in his studies, he did not give up hope & achieved commendable results. One of the better students who really enjoy life to the fullest. He is our fashion icon too. Never did we see him come to school in repeated clothes, at least for that week. He is popular with everyone, our 1st year class rep, someone who know what he wanted.

Reading comments from his friends in the newspapers, i can't control my tears even though i am in MRT. He wanted to have a girlfriend but his schedule between work, trainings & studies simply couldn't allow him to. This incident stopped him from finishing his studies or fulfill his dreams. What hit me the most was... early this month, we were attending a friend's wedding dinner with my poly mates... all laughters & cheers... but now the month ended in a solemn note.

We are still talking about the good old days then. How i became their nanny, helping them in studies or even cleaning his vomit on a cabby when he was drunk. Honestly, now, i didn't mind doing it again and again if it could bring him back to us. He is always the joker of our group. After that incident of being drunk, making a fool of himself, he try hard not to get drunk in front of us anymore. Actually, he is a great guy. Someone who can juggle between work & studies, know when to play hard, when to be serious...

But i guess, i shouldn't be down too much as he may not want us too. i still had to be strong to others who equally shocked. This day will never be the same from now on as... it belongs to our dear friend, Jeremy... At the very least, his body is recovered and will be back in Singapore... and the fact that he leave with honours & passion for his sport. Jeremy, Rest in peace....
