in memory...

Monday, not too long after i posted that previous post, our class got the news that our dear friend, leon, has passed away. it still hurts while typing now, although its been a few days. didn't really have time to post anything till now as band prac and stuff has been occupying my time.

it still remains a shock to many of us in our class and it seems so much like a dream and till now the impact has not really subsided yet. so i shall dedicate this post to leon, one with many talents and laughs.

i can still remember vividly the day where the principals and teachers broke the news to us. tears fell freely and many realised the full impact of it. till now, even when i'm running my 2.4km, even just walking home, i'll count my blessings and think of all the times leon feel that its the end of the world. is it really? what if we managed to bring him out of depression?

Sometimes i think life is very fragile. but on the other hand its a choice too. a choice made by yourself whether to live it with a strong heart or face problems with a sad smile. i don't blame leon too, since he made that choice, but i do regret not comforting him more, not paying more attention because of my band syf and not reading more into his signs of depression.

i do regret not doing better for pw, maybe that will cheer him up abit more if we had gotten a band 1, or at least he had gotten a band 1. maybe maybe...

Still, he is a good friend to all of us, helping in any way he can and i used to love discussing drawing anime characters with him. a passion that i would like to keep as a hobby. =) maybe one day i'll have a book with jap characters and give it to him next year.

press is starting to find out about stuff and i really wish they would just shut up and let the issue rest. oh well. i guess that's unavoidable...

To leon: may you be in a nicer place with all the love you will have with no worries or burdens. we will always miss you and remember you for the unique person you are and may the memory live...
