Dear Joash,

Everyone was grief-strickened and saddened by your death, Uncle Roland, Jacinth and Jelyn plus your Grandma. I guessed Heaven is having shortage of angels, that's why God is recruiting the best of all and whom he deeply loves.

You had been a supportive brother in Christ, a great friend.

I remember the 'Great Job' pat you gave on my back each time I did well in drama sketch for Christmas and worship.I remembered serving together in Christ Ignitors. From Chinese New Year fund raising, Christmas Celebration, mothers day celebration... etc

I remember how you and Kevin used to drop by at Music Valley to disrupt my work and disturb the girls.

I remember you giving me weird nicknames like 'Elephant' and 'Aunty Carol' or 'High Distinction'. Though I called you 'Tortoise' for eating super super slow and 'High High High Distinction' for being so brilliant.

I admire how patient you are towards the weak. How you love them..

I will also remember your big, generous heart. You insisted on paying everytime, until that day I have to snatch your wallet to stuff money inside which left the waiter staring at us.

I will remember your optimism in everything. When we got lost in Malacca before Family camp, I was literally panicking while you are appreciating Malacca scenery at night.

I remember how I complaint about you wearing the red Ah Pek shirt.

I remember you said my masterpiece was the nicest!!

I  remember you for keep forcing me to eat. You made me gorged down brownies, cakes, breads, desserts. Not fair! You make your gf so slim, yet you make me fat!!

You are a horrible shopper, ending up buying rotten stuff like the Chinese New Year oranges, the marigold yogurt drink, end up gotten nagged by me.

You carry joy with you wherever you go. Your million-dollar smile.Your joke of the year. Your 'cheekiness'.You always Stand out from photographs.

You are my 'Makan' buddy and my 'escort' to go back to Muar.

You left me blur, searching for words in the dictionary each time you blast out your bombastic vocabulary.

You always put others first and God above all.

You will be deeply missed. I gonna bring more friends to Heaven to meet my Buddy, which is You!

I believe you are rejoicing with God and your family up there. Jamming with the best musical instrument, singing praise to God, with the angels as your choir. Feasting at His Table with a large spread of food. You will never missed any ball while playing tennis, because you have wings to fly as high to catch it. I'm grateful to God that I get to meet a great friend like you for 21 percent of your 23 years.

PS: I bet you are smiling away in Heaven, with everyone praising you... hee hee =)
