Junior’s going away today… To study and be a really impressive Mathematician… To become a Dr someday… To learn to see with the Heart of the Father and touch the lives of many others…
It’s gonna be hard to send him off…
No one else has ever been so entangled in my life as he has been:
…We fought everyday in Auntie’s bus when i was in P6 & him in P4
…Met again in DHS and took the same bus home… He would teach me bible verses while I pretended to be listening (i was touched by his commitment to enlighten me anyway)
…Bumped into each other, 6 years later, on the streets of Orchard Road. We had a lot in common to talk about. Some good. Some bad. I was now the one encouraging him to be serious in God.
…In my dark season, alone and away from home, it was he I told my dirty little secret… He was the only one who could understand… It was also he who told me, “I’m backslided. And i see that you are now the same as me. Please go back to God.”
…I returned to God. I had the privilege to help him in his return to God. And there was no turning back for either of us…
This song is his going-away gift. The HUGE Coldplay fan. My Brother. My Friend.
“You know how you always say my change is an encouragement to you? Well, the changes God did in your life are a huge encouragement to me too… Thanx for everything dude… And I want you to know that I thank God He put you in my life…”

The Scientist - Coldplay
Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you i set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let’s go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart
Nobody said it was easy, it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy, Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start
I’m not going to cry. I’m not going to cry.
Photos from the airport that day…
Hope you’re coping well there, dude…
