Goodbye my dear friend...you left us for a better place...in good hands of god..I m sure of that..you will be our angel looking after us now...I would missed your unique laughters...chirpyness...your sweet smile...
I finally broke down when I was flipping through those good old days photos we took after our "O" levels when you, CL, XW, PL, XW and me..went to Sentosa one late evening..did crazy thing like folding our pants, took off our shoe and jumped into the fountain with knee height water level and took pics..end up got scolding from security guard who saw what we did as he warn that we could easily get elecuted! All we did were..."heh heh...uncle sorry ah..." quickly packed up and left for the merlion tower....took countless pics there too...
Not forgetting those countless trips to orchard...for whatsoever reasons...we could spend the entire day there...from morning till night ...laughing...talking...giggling...shopping...
Those Were The Days....we were then the innocent...with mindset of "we owned the world...with a long stretch a road ahead of us" youngsters...but as we grew older...we realised we dont owned the world...neither do we own time...we never know when will we drive to the end of the road...you found a "parking lot" with god first....not to worry...for we will find you one day in the "multi-storeys carpark" too...
Ah Tok...I truely....felt really very bad and sorry...I couldnt meet up with you guys all these while...I couldnt walk you thru your last journey....will be a regret for me forever....sorry my dear friend...
The memories of "THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS" we had in our 10 years plus friendship always remained in our hearts.....
For you my dear friend....a song I would sing to you when we meet again...
*Cheers...my friend*
==============================================================
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La la la la...
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to beIn the glass
I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La la la la...
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
