Remember..

Today was Yuan Gee's funeral, and I cried a lot; we all did. I guess in the end, we all couldn't face the fact that we would never see her again, that we won't ever be able to go out with her again, to have fun like teenagers do. She won't be able to do so many things anymore. Won't be able to watch New Moon which she was so excited about, won't be able to read to Spirit Bound, won't be able to listen to Jay Chou's new album, never listen to her iPod again, never watch a new movie, never hang out with us at Jusco, never celebrate Chinese New Year, Christmas or her birthday, never wear any new clothes, never learn to drive a car, never learn to love or be loved, never start her own family, never to complete her studies as she so dearly wished to, and most importantly never again be a daughter to her parents, a sister to her sisters and a best friend to all of us.

When I saw her enter the chamber, I couldn't help but cry, I wasn't ever going to see her again. But then, I saw her picture, I think it was taken in China. She looked so happy, so vibrant, so full of life and so beautiful it made my heart ache. I saw her smile, her beautiful smile that could always light up our days.

I smiled too. She wouldn't want us to be sad; we should let her go, she won't have to be in pain anymore. She's gone home.

So Yuan Gee, I promise you, I couldn't fulfil so many of your wishes and let you down, but this I promise you, I will always smile whenever I think of you, and your smile. I love you my friend, we all do. Please rest peacefully knowing you are loved now and forever. I still have your email, the one you sent to me after leaving for Singapore. You said that we'd be best friends forever remember? I hope you'll always remember us and your promise. I will never forget you Yuan Gee, we'll always be best friends forever and ever. I'm blessed God gave me the chance to be your friend and will treasure you forever.

One day, I will remember you, and I will always smile..
