almost everything i want to say is in that link.
it's so touching to see even those who don't know him personally inspired by him. eg, my sister, her mgxcountry mates etc...

"One thing for sure. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all athletes out there."

amen.

but, as a friend of his, i shld write all those down again, personalise it, pen it in my own words and yeah.maybe bring abt a new perspective. but no, not yet. i'm not ready. maybe next time..when i can think about him in his exact form and smile back at e image of his goofy smile. (since cj mentioned me once;) as i told caijing, i dont feel adequate enough to write abt him, about the memories i have of him. i dont feel like i'd be doing him justice if i shld just write an entry abt it.
reading e other crossers' blog entries abt him amazes me..how they can so nicely pen their thoughts and memories of him into words.then again, maybe not. such memories can nvr be fathom by mere words. but nonetheless,10yrs down the road if someone, or myself even, do come back to here, at least i'd be able to revive e memories i hold so dear to my heart.

"...you’re truly one sportsman worthy a role model. You’ll be my inspiration to not give up for my track and field championships"

maybe till then.

mgx junior (sec3): hey tifft. i stumbled upon your blog & just wanted to say, i really miss those trngs too. you know what? you were a GREAT capt. seriously. haha... a reunion would be fantastic but hard, agreed. anyway, just keep relying on God's strength. keep close to Him & you'll be fine. it must be really hard in trngs nowadays.. rj seems very stressful. but God will be there for you always, & you're very courageous in evangelising in rj! don't give up! you're awesome, yes(: byebye.

hello my dear junior. thankyou so much for your encouragements. really means a lot, a lot to me esp now. and thanks for the reminder.to always lean on God and God's strength alone. and hey, rj ain't that stressful lah..stress is just a perspective thing no? ;) danielle's coming over you heard? and honestly, i've not been a very good witness of the Lord's in rj.but yea, 'dont give up!' :) thanks dear. btw you are????
