cyril aw
the first day i came in, everyone was pretty much at school, only those who were new or didnt have schools were left inside. i sat down and ate that packet of kway teow which mr levi passed to me, heck, i still remember the two staff on call that day, Ramly the dog and Levi the movieman. i ate finished and went over to sit with boon, who was playing carem. you came over and talked to me. haha, yeah you bloody told me richard's your tao-eh and i actually believed you.
terry,alfrey and the guys came over to 'hung' me, asking me where i played and all. and soon, richard came back, wearing his ah pek specs ,with those thick lips. we sat tgt and talked, you guys became my friends, joined by qilong and others.
i havnt got accepted back into my school yet, so everyday we used to sit tgt and talk. and we even drawed.
i still remembered i drew a swallow for you, and your spider. you pasted it at your locker, and i was so happy that you appreciated it.
then came the period of time when we had quarrels and stuff, you bloody slapped me with your slipper. richard got that too.and you would always turn my mattress upside down, pillows and all. oh yeah, and those flying slippers at night. i will always remember that.
eventually, we became friends once more and we were as close as hell, always meeting during homeleaves.
eventually the day came, and you had to be discharged, i wasnt there to see you go, i was at school. then, one by one, everyone left ,till it was just me and qilong, when i got 2 weeks trial, he was bloody mad. haha, then the day came for me to go, and i left hostel, smiles and all. to a new life ahead.
we didnt contact much for a period of time and one day, idk whether it was me who called you, or you who called me. but we ended up fishing tgt, at yishun jetty. its been sucha long time since i last saw you. then, me, you and ray would always go out at night, for our adventures. yeap, long distance walks, prank calls, chicks and all.
i will never ever forget you, though we might not meet up as often as last time, the fact does not change that we have both crossed paths with one another. all those wonderful memories we had, they will always be in my heart.
cyril aw yu hui, i love you too.
