This might probably be my last post. I was planning some time ago to make a new blog.
Today I say goodbye to a dear friend of mine. His ex-girlfriend is making a sketchbook for him, so here I am, writing a short entry for him.
I have known Lloyd since my poly days, and I am glad to have been his best friend for these four years. He was always so reliable, and he would be the first one I sought whenever I had a problem or wanted to do something out of the blue –example: jogging, gaming, movies. He was talented and smart unlike me. If there were some aspects we shared, we were both introverted and homely.
If I had something to complain about him, it was about his air of melancholy and pessimistic thinking. He often felt life-weary. But as time passed, he gradually grew out of it – possibly infected by my cheerfulness. And yes, he often complain how fat he was. Or claim how good-looking he was (how delusional!)
That I guess, didn’t change until the day he left this world.
At the end of the year 2005, I brought him on a trip on Star Virgo. It’s a pity that we didn’t bring a digital camera along, but it was a fun experience. (I am still impressed how he could store his shit for three days even with a diet of six meals a day.)
After our poly days, we still keep close contact, often chatting online or meeting up regularly even while we were serving our national service. The last time we met up was on November 23. I was supposed to meet him on the day he collected his brand new second-hand motorcycle(sounds contradicting), but I couldn’t make it as I was supposed to be resting at home.
And just like that, he left this world...
It’s been a good four years. He would often advice me to work harder for my future but I was too lazy, too playful. But from now, I would start working harder even if it’s just a little. As we moved on with life, as the days may pass, I will forget his gestures or how he sounded like. But I will never forget I once had a buddy, a best friend named Lloyd.
To the Lord who took you away so suddenly, grant him eternal rest.
