My dearest one - 14th Jan 1983 - 14th Jun 2008

I went through mental struggle to decide to do this post on someone whom left and is(still) very very dear to me, Rayner Lim Ruixiang. We were together in the same class in sec 1. We got very close over the years and I started calling him "Ah kor" and he called me "Ah mui". By the time we left our sec school, we were still very closed. Hes someone whom is more than a frd, more than a brother, and even more than a lover to me. Though we had never been a couple, but our relationship is better than any couple. No one could ever replace him in my heart.

He, whom I go to when Im happy, sad, angry.
He, whom the first one I called to when I need to talk or bitch.
He, whom I go out for supper with till wee hours.
He, whom walked with me during my lowest point of my life.
He, whom had the common opening sentence with me, "free?" and we knew tt either 1 of us needed to vent out.
He, whom answered my call in the middle of the night despite he already asleep to hear me cry my heart out.
He, whom willing to rush down to meet me despite the time whenever I need a shoulder to cry.
He, whom willing to be my "bf" when I needed someone to help me out.
He, whom shared all his great findings, games, videos etc with me.
He, whom always helped me to carry my heavy bag or shopping bag w/o me asking for help.
He, whom nv forget my bdae.
He, whom share my food when the portion was huge.
He, whom lend me his jacket when Im feeling cold.
He, whom could go shopping with me and not feeling bored, coz we can always find somethg for each other to try on.
He, whom could talked with me for hours and a couple times of a week w/o worrying topics run out.
He, whom bridal services liked to ask if we want to buy package whenever we walked pass a bridal shop.
He, whom joked with me tt when we aged n if we 2 still single, shall share a house and stay together so that we can take care of each other.
He, whom took care of me very well and will get angry if someone bullied me.
He, whom even though left the world already, came back to take care of me when Im having a fever while in ICU. I knew he came, coz I felt the warmth of his hands on my head n telling me to inform the nurse that my fever is gone. I woke up and still feeling his warm hands and my fever gone. He still worries bot me coz he said I nv know how to take care of myself.
He, whom came to my dreams last week telling me what he need and could even joke with me when I asked him, "Do u want orange color?" and he used his usual eye roll on me n replied, "Since when did u see me in Orange?" and he laughed. I woke up feeling comfort that he is doing well on the other world.

Weeks before the unfortunate day, he talked frequently about death to me especially after his frd in CO left the world. He said he hope to die w/o pain, best if in the sleep. Though Im very very sad that he left me, but I find comfort in the fact that he left the way he wanted, though I didnt want him to go.
He was sleeping when the accident happened and he left in his sleep.
I remembered the last wds he said to me before the accident, "Im tired.", and he slept forever. Rest well, my dear Ah Kor, hope you wont be feeling tired anymore and thanks for taking care of me still.

I am really glad that you had wrote up about him.

I had always missed him as I had drifted apart from him since I left EVSS. But he is always been one of the best regarded friend and always ponder if how he is doing as I know he is leading a very different life from me and I thought I am odd to fit in.

I only got to meet him on Terrance Ong wedding especially when I was away from Singapore before this.He look smart that night.

I really regret that I didn't chat with him when i saw him online on facebook recently .... he replied my "Hi" but I didn't continue due to my mood swing. I am just a bastard !

I don't know about his mishaps and knew he left from his blog and friendster comments..

It's really a devastating news to me .... it is.

From here I understand that he left while he was sleeping and it's the way he wanted.It's comforting for me as well.

I think he has done well for his life, he is a hero by contributing to one's life. He will always give you his hands when you needed it.

I don't mean to exacerbate your sadness but I knew it that he had been regarding you as her good sister. you hold an important place in his heart.

Move on and carry his spirit of life with you.

You are lucky that you have him as your AH KOR.

Yes, I am in Singapore.

I hope you get well soon. I know that I am abit blunt but I was too traumatised by this as well.

I paid my last respect to him last saturday morning. most of the boys of 409 were there.

Please take care of yourself.

Sorry being tactless to you and also ming xun but once i recieved this news ... it took me some time to accept and also I was desperate to pay him my last respect.


I didn't want to find out more from you but just to check if you were ok as I had read that you were in ICU.

I am glad that you are alright.

Go thru all these together cos tats wat ur ah kor hope to see frm up there :)

Hi
Thanks for your msg.
Both of us are recovering well and supporting one another.
Its an accident no one wanted and we had never blame the driver. We are still very very closed.
I visited my Ah Kor a couple of times and its good that hes doing well on the other world.
He lives forever in our heart, we get to see him in our dreams. He visited me quite frequent. :D
