22nd may 2008
we walked with boon for the last time today.
reached at about 8am. went in to see boon. he seemed to appear more like sleeping today.. looking at him, thinking that this is the last day i can see him already..
everytime before i go in & see his body, i stare long at his photo.. when i see his body, did you know the differences? one with a cheerful smile, & thats boon's smile.. nobody has the smile.. but his body.. cold & emotionaless.. thats something nobody has seen that look before..
everybody came & prayed for him..
boon, do you know? do you like the rose i placed on your coffin? did you see us today for the last time?
i broke down when i see him for the last time.. everybody just cried.. even wilfred looked at boon for the last time..
we were told to turn behind while they prepare the van. then jeff, weehong, zhiyong, jeremy, waychorng, jackson & yansheng went to lift his coffin to the van.. did boon know?
boon's family was so sad. his mother still cant believe it..
qiuli sat there crying when i went.. she asked me to eat breakfast. i was told that she want burn a photo of boon & her, but they disallow as she is in the picture..
as a friend, i feel sad & cried everytime boon creep into my mind.. i cant imagine qiuli & his family's pains.. i can imagine what if..
we went to pray for the last time before boon is cremated.. boon.. thats really the last time we can ever see him already.. his basketball shoes, his jeans, his shirt..
after his body was pushed into the huge oven, everybody called out to him.. cry.. thats was the last look.. the very very last look of toh boon keong..
after that, we all sat at the kerb.. every one of us was silent, some tearing, some singing your songs.. we didnt comfort anyone around us.. i guess we do need our own space to remember boon by..
today is the final ending already.. cheer up guys, boon dont want see us being this way..
boon.. we will all miss you.. you will always be in our fond memories, friends forever.. boon..
