i realise now that life is so unpredictable. Who’s to say that you are too young to think about what to do before your death? I don’t want to leave this earth with a list of regrets.

I’ve lost a friend from my secondary school. He was my classmate for 2 years. We were not best of friends or anything of that sort but the hours spent in class with his presence has left a deep impression on us all for sure.
For one, he has an interesting laughter. One that is hyena-like and the way his face scrunches up is always so hilarious. He would give me this ‘look’ that is a cross between "what-the-hell-are-you-looking-at?" and "you-irritating-thing". He’d also make this puking sound sometimes to tease me… Gosh I’d give anything just to hear it again, annoying as it is, I really do miss him. He was always the joker of our class, the one who puts "fun" into the meaning of studies. He never failed to make anyone and everyone smile with his easy-going manner and his witty ways. He’s one who was unselfish about everything. I remember he would teach me math homework eventhough we were supposed "enemies". Then there was the time people had rumours about me saying he liked me. It was so wierd and quirky. I never realised how big an impact he left in my life until it’s too late. I remember the time we were sitting in class and he was confirmed in church with the confirmation name Benedict and everyone would tease him with a dirty twist of his name. I asked him about church and stuff as I was shocked to know he was also a catholic. The way he spoke of God and church made me realise that behind this "joker" semblance, he was truly a faithful and honest person, a wonderful follower of Christ.

Those of us who have the fortune of having him in our life, we know tht a part of him will always be with us. As we mourn for the loss of a great friend, we should also bear in mind that he is at peace with our Creator now. He dwells with the Lord in a more wonderful place. Free from all the stress, worry and pains of this earth. He will create many occasions of uproarious laughter in heaven, just like he did on earth.
He will blend in with heaven so beautifully because he was always a true person.
His joy will follow us as we live on with his memories.

Let us all pray that all those who feels the pain of his loss, will also remember that he would want his legacy to be carried on in our lives by rejoicing for his return to Our Father, by continuing to leave on with the smile he left us with.

Thank you Benedict Liu Bo Han for all the wonderful times you’ve shared with us.
We love you and miss you always.
