THE LOST OF A TRUE TALENT - REUBEN KEE
Ridhuan told me on sunday morning that Reuben was one of the missing 5 dragonboaters. I prayed that a miracle will happen. Give him the bruises, injuries, but not take him away. Hoping it will be like andrew's case. A thin line away to death but survived and made it thru. Prayers were not answered. The next min, I was told, Reuben's body was found. I was speechless. I kept silence.

Attended Reuben's wake on Tuesday. First time I see a big crowd at a wake. I can see the many lives you had touched. My heart cries out to you. I couldnt control my tears. Your mum told us your story. Your sister too. Im touched by your actions. You aint someone close to me. But I feel I've lost a close friend. How I wish I could turn back time and talk to you as much. You are gone now but you resides in my heart. Even when I read your friendster comments, I still tear. Im glad God gave us a chance to meet as friend. You will always be planted in my memory. You will be missed and I noe God has his plans for you.

I read the papers just now. The last piece of music you wrote "Back home". I read the lyrics. Its touching. My watery eyes. Does the lyrics mean anything? Signalling something? Im still very upset that you are gone. I hope you will continue to write, compose and play music somewhere there...

someone whom I nv ever spoke a sentence
someone whom I hardly say a HI & GOODBYE
someone whom I shed tears for REUBEN KEE

I regretted not talking to you
I regretted not getting to know u more
I regretted not saying a Hi when we bump into and now, I'll never have a chance to say goodbye, even if i do, you will never reply.

I will never hear you again.
Forever being remembered
You taught us another lesson - that is to treasure, to love and to cherish.
