 Vijay You are one of the most genuine person I've ever come across in my life. And speaking of life, yours was short, but you led a fufilling one in my eyes. There have been lots of times when I have wanted to write about you, but I fell short of words as there weren't enough to describe your existence. Everytime I think of you, you bring a smile to face. Never a bad memory etched to your name. Most of all I remember and miss your laughter, like how you derived joy in teasing everyone, saying the stupidest things at the stupidest moments and saying the most unexpected things in those wonderful moments. I still remember how we used to hate each others' guts because of the prank I played that turned awry. And it was slowly after the Big Walk outing we had in 2005 that we had our first handshake which paved the way for our friendship. Everyone was laughing at how awkward it was. I remember how you used to get so irritated because I kept 'jacking' you all the way. Then you'd take a few days to gather all your 'insults' and throw them at me, but you always knew it was too late. And speaking of late, you were and still are the only person that I've waited for for more than 2 hours on different occasions. The last time I spent alone with you was in AMK Hub and you made me wait 3 freakin hours. But I don't know why I never got angry, it must be your stupid smile. Everytime you'd take my hands into yours and croon about how small they were and you'd pinch shanthini's cheeks and say to us both they were the cutest things you ever saw. Which you knew made me want to hurl everytime you mentioned it. I remember the times we played Coca Cola at Yishun jetty and you liked to bully all the girls cos you were so fast and agile. Occassionally I'd get a missed call from you in the wee hours of the night, knowing you were calling me because you needed company home or because Shanthini was asleep. I remember how you used to call me pongal. Haha. Now I'd give anything to hear you to call me that. Or even sometimes I'd get the weirdest of messages from you at night. I still have them. One of the messages the last messages you sent me at 3 am in the morning when I was sleeping was this(exactly what he wrote) : "I was looking through friendster today, I came across this profile of a classy and beautiful girl. It was you. You are not pretty but beautiful, but you should learn to be more sweet, and you will be loved by me MORE. LOL" I remember, when I woke up to that sms, I was confused and went back to sleep thinking what they hell was he talking about? I told you he sent me weird messages. I also remember the times where you had one week to your exams and called me up to meet up so that I could teach you. Or the times you would call me up to hang out at Orchard and I would be at most 20 minutes late to meet you and you'd send me so many stupid and nonsensical messages in that time span. Then there was that time where we went to watch that movie School for Scoundrels and you picked me up in your bike. And after that you swore you'd never take me on your bike anymore because whenever you made a turn I would put my feet on the ground. Haha. But you still did take me on your bike after that. I remember once we were all at my house, watching playing cards while the TV was on. We were all engrossed in playing the card game and suddenly from the corner of my eyes I noticed you tearing up and everyone one else also did. You were so engrossed in the MTV Aids campaign programme, where the woman was relating her experience on how she got AIDs and you teared for her. And when everyone started asking you whether you were okay you acted as if nothing happened but the redness in your eyes was still evident. When we went to DXO after the yj prom night that we crashed in 06, not only was I in awe of you, everyone in the club seemed to notice you when you started to dance. Your MJ moves, the popping and locking and the hip hop steps left many dumbfounded.You always had your unique sense of style anyways, all that caps and hats you used to wear regardless of what others including me said. We all loved coming to watch you dance for your group Sarvesh during all those dance competitions. You were one of the true talents there. I also recall how we pranked Shanthini into giving her sleepless nights. Whenever I disturbed you with Shanthini, you knew I was teasing but you'd act like you were angry and then a few minutes later break into your memorable laughter. The horrible accident you had met with shattered your laughter and ours. Suddenly, everthing became so quiet and serious and empty. We were all in the hospital waiting to hear your voice once again. You lasted in the hospital for seven days. Your abdomen was punctured, kidney was failing and the doctors had to amputate your leg. Life slowly seeped out of you. I remember that day so clearly like it was yesterday that everything had happened when I heard you had passed away. There were three people who were completely outwardly shattered when you left. Your mom, Shanthini and Vimal. And even til today where in most people's hearts you have left an impression, in those three hearts you have definitely created a void no one could fill. Not a day goes by where they don't think of you. Time has passed so quickly, yet the memories are fresher than the present. It has been more than a year... I will always remember the way you lit up everything that was around you. I will always remember you not as the boy who died, but as the boy who lived. Handsome boy  The neoprint you surprisingly didn't mind taking.  At Orchard, talking and joking around  Trying to disturb Shanthini  After my dance performance  |
