In so many years of my life .. ive never ran 3 wakes in a day. Attending them one after another just wasnt something tts mentally easy.


Attended Boon Sans wake at Yishun first. It was sad to see all my teammates gathered for the wrong reason and purpose. I hate it when ppl always gather at such places. Emotions ran high when we are paying our respects to him. Its hard to believe tt a person once jumping and alive is now lying motionlessly inside the wooden box. I controlled my tears from coming down. I wan to be the strongest ard and believe tt they are moving on to something that is better than wat they had before.


Reubens my Captain back den and i will nvr forget the way tt he led the Team. The leadership and qualities that he possessed is always something tt everyone looks up to and nobody has anything tt they will hav to disagree with him. Being a humble and tall person his always willing to play bball with my group of girls and i.


Reubens wake was super pack yesterday and i did not really have a chance to go near to pay my respect. Their services lasted for quite awhile. His sister played songs that he had composed and sang songs to commemorate him. Emotions ran high as she had to sing and wept at the same time. Everyone around couldnt hold back their tears.


Reading the letter that i held in my hands from Reuben's family made me weak and i had to pour out. I then realize tt i really cant bear to see Reuben leaving.



A Meassage from Reuben's family


Safe in the arms of Jesus

1 Cor 15:52-53 "It will happen in an instant, in a split second... the trumpet will sound and the dead will come back to life. They will be changed so that they can live forever. This body that decays must changed to a body that cannot decay...a body that will live forever."

Treasure the moments you have with your family. Spend more time with your loved ones now. Don't wait till something happens, or when it's too late!

The letter form the family was something that assures me that the family has their belief too that Reuben is moving on to a better place.


I never had a chance to tell Reuben how much i appreciated him as my Captain and all the bball sessions together.


I know he will never get to see my blogpost but



Thanks Reuben.



Really.



Jeremy's place was the last tt we had to go for my Team.



Jeremys my vice-captain back then. we really love him for his humour and jokes. He never fails to ease the tension of the Team. Sometimes he like to raise stupid questions so much tt everyone will laugh at him but all of us knew tt it was intentionally brought up to made us laugh and be happy.


Even though so he works hard too .. he do not just make fun and clown ard like wat i usually do and i believe thats the reason y his in the N-team. To many it might had been the worst thing tt had happened to be in but i believe he would have still chosen the same if he could hav had a choice. I know him .. i know.


The Team will have to walk the final journay off with them tom .. i hope i can still be the strongest ard to support all of them. I like to be strong and i hope i can. I believe they will be off to somewhere else that is definitely better. And someday maybe all of us will meet again.
