我欣赏你的开朗,你的勇气,你的信心,这都不是每就一个人所拥有的,就是你那么的独特才拥有这一切。
你的声量和你的个性, 教会了我,只要觉得是对的,是好的,就应该放手一搏,把它完成。还记得,星期五,你与我被老师叫出去斗大声,斗信心,实施上输的应该是我。你的信心,打败 了我,只不过你当时警长了些,才让我赢了。那时应该是我与你最近距里的接触吧!好怀念你的声音,好怀念看着你在老师上课到一半,无端端的站了起来做些动 作。如今你已离我们而去了更美好的地方,希望你在那里过得很好并与其他朋友一起上路。
yi zhang
同样是篮球队的战友,你的 笑声,你的笑容,铭记心中。你独特的篮球上篮法,每人能比,我始终还是捉不到你的技巧。只可惜,你已不再,不然,我一定会向你讨教。你每次都说我很 fit,但事实上,最fit的那一个是你不是我。你都不断地在练,而我却一直的偷懒,我会好好的练好自己,来证实你的眼光是绝对不会错的。你不在了,每人 和我一起diu ah chong。好怀念那8节的physics。
brendon
form 1和你同班,就知道你超爱捣蛋。和 andrewteoh一起导弹的感觉,就像昨日刚发生的事。虽然我俩很少接触,不过,我们还能够有说有笑,你个人的叫声和说话方式,我永远都不会忘记,因 为那是你自己,最真的自己。你离开了以后,再也没有人,无端端,来perli我了,放学了,也没有听到你的声音,有点不习惯。安心上路吧。生日快乐。这也 该是我第一次祝贺你吧!
zi jun
虽然,我们不熟,但失去你,我也痛心。钟灵中学也因此失去了一个人才。你的乒乓,打得好,可惜,我们没比较过,我也没向你讨教过,如果我们来时还能在遇见,记得一定要叫我打乒乓哦!
yong xiang
我不认识你,只见过你。如果在学校又骂过你,活捉过你,请多多包涵,我只是在工作。但影响中,应该是没有吧。
mr chin
你未教过我,就这样的离开人世,多么的可惜啊!但愿你也说得上桃李满天下吧。再见了。
龙舟队的牺牲者,安心上路吧,我们会好好过,不要为我们担心。我们会为你们走完未能走完的路,为你们拼到底。我们来是在相见吧!

You Will Never Row Alone (更新版)
You Will Never Row Alone,指的就是大家同在一艘船上,需要的是團隊精神。從來沒有人能夠憑著個人力量到達終點。如果一個人翻船,也相等於整船人一起墮海。
2009年,對峇都蠻大馬兒女龍舟隊是難忘的一年。他們總共出賽4次,即遠赴臺北國際龍舟賽,州內的有檳州跨越檳威海峽龍舟邀請賽、劃向希望龍舟慈善行以及檳州同樂會龍舟賽。
他們都是業餘龍舟愛好者。儘管賽前的集訓是多麼的辛苦,尤其是召集至少20人同時間進行室內室外的體格訓練,實在不容易!
其中,在檳州同樂會龍舟賽的200米決賽賽程,6隻龍舟隊伍較量中,有4艘龍舟在衝刺當兒,先後發生碰撞繼而翻船事件。峇都蠻大馬兒女龍舟隊整船選手墮海,其中一人更被龍舟船頭撞及頭部,昏迷在船底。所幸隊友及時發現,一把捉住他。
每一次的出賽,隊友們也默默紀念有2位因病以及因車禍過逝的隊員。得到的獎牌,也給逝者保留一份。
這種共歡喜、共承擔、共分享、共患難的精神,用同舟(龍舟)共濟形容最貼切!
悲劇發生,各方輿論總是特別多。輿論的準繩,見仁見智,也因人而異。
最普遍的是,許多人手指頭輕輕一指,就急著把責任推卸和撇清;也有許許多多的各政黨政治人物,因身份"特殊"被人用放大鏡來衝量他們的關心指數,指這是作秀,博廉價宣傳。
提到責任,需要承擔的,終究要面對。
提到關心,怎麼啦,關心也需要分類的嗎?你的眼淚才是眼淚,人家的眼淚就不是眼淚?
這起慘案,近是整個檳城人民的痛擊,遠至全國人民的悲哀。
我不禁的在想,此時此刻,我們不是更應該站在同一條船上嗎,同舟共濟度過艱辛時刻。當下最重要的是,我們要給失去孩子的家屬,甚至是獲救仍心有餘悸的孩子們最大的精神支持,任何人應慎言,不是在家屬傷口上灑鹽。
若不這樣,日後的龍舟比賽再辦得怎樣的大型,都是失敗的。因為,過程中體現不出龍舟精神,而純粹流於形式。
無謂的指責、撇清和批判,是沒有營養的。
慘案發生後,我假裝試探男友不好再劃龍舟。他毅然告訴我,他仍會繼續劃龍舟,要我支持。我靜靜的看著他,不語。他明白我的意思。因為,我們是在同一條船上的。
You Will Never Row Alone,願與你們共勉!

Deeply miss, friends
Sometimes, this tragedy still seems as a nightmare to me... Should I wake up and find all these a dream?? A terribly horribly scary dream?? Well, vainly, the truth can't be changed.. Should it be fair that our beloved friends left us?? What's fair?? Should it be that we experienced all these, when we are all still in high school?? How sickening..
Brendon, Yi Zhang, Zi Jun, Jason.... All my good friends.. Why did this happened?? Clenched fists whenever their memories flowed through my mind, trying to contain my sorrows within, tears that flowed down profusely, can't seem to do any good.. What's the point??
No doubt, many many many miss them.. No doubt, many many many cried for them.. Let them be our legend, let them be our hero, in our hearts.. Let us remember them always, as a good friend, as a good brother, as a good partner, as a good, even enemy??
Their laughters, kuai lan acts, perli-ing words, all their rebellious, their heroic, their supposedly 'pro' actions, let all of those be kept in our dear hearts.. Should they scolded us once, should they hated us once, should they mocked us once, let us forget it...
"Brendon!!" maybe someone will shout for his name in class, but no answer will come anymore....
"Yi Zhang!!" maybe the teachers wanted him for an event, not available....
"Zi Jun!!" maybe the classmates wanted to challenge him for a race, he can't run anymore....
"Jason!!" maybe he got an award for getting 1st in CLHS, the award will remained un-owned....
Let this be not a tragedy, but an event.. An event that despite such horrifying incident, despite such heart- wrenching outcome, we'll remain strong.. We'll learn to appreciate everyone around us more, we'll love everyone even more.. We'll not do something we regret, only to regret it deeply later.. We'll learn to say I LOVE YOU to the people we love, our families, our best friends, even our boyfriend or girlfriend.. Let not all be too late.. It's never too late, unless we do something..
Such talented friends, leaders in schools, dai-lou in class, big bro at home, lost... Is it fair?? Not to be questioned.. Is it unfair?? Definitely..

5-2 = 5 from McVin
Well , I think I don't need to explain to you guys about the dragon boat incident anymore. It seems to be a famous news right now , and all over the country are talking about it. What can I say ? I am really speechless with all these stuffs and I think I am still unable to accept the fact that my friends are gone.
Jason + Brendon = Awesome buddies

Brendon , he is one of my best friends ever. I knew him through Interact Club and also Photoshop. You know , 4 years ago when I first saw him on a newspaper for winning the World Cup sms thingy , I thought that he is those guys with lousy personality and bla and I told myself if i have this kind of friend , they will never be my best friend. But who knows ? He became my best friend in September 2009.

For almost every Saturday , we will take a bus down to Komtar to busy for our stuffs such as Interact Club's projects and also our own tee design stuffs. But now I don't think I have the reasons to get down to Komtar at every Saturday anymore. You know , this is really hard for me as it had became part of my life.

He is a freak , a freak who is addicted to Peter Chao's video. He made Peter Chao's famous quote as his own personal trademark - ChaoHaoSai MTFK. Also , he is a freak who likes to "decorate" the city with spray paints , there's a " Satu Penang " graffiti under the bridge infront of Chung Ling High School. I still remember one very classical incident , we went for some spraying session somewhere in town and both of us get caught , luckily we are lucky enough to get through it and everything is fine.

After going to the Interact Conference , we went to KL , enjoy ourselves and playing like there is not tomorrow. I still remember all that. And also , received our 1st pay cheque in our 17 years of living in this world. Working part time together , did charity together , take alcohol together , barbecue together , and more.



Jason , another freak who loves to FUT. Though he have the abit of FUTting , but he is really a great friend. He is , he is really a good friend. Let me tell you , my first LEO activity was a very huge concert , Jason is the one who called me to go. And i still remember that Brendon followed us that time and we had our great time after the concert by having supper at somewhere near Gurney.

Besides , we also had a very great time by discussing combine projects. There is a big event coming up which I don't think its suitable for me to tell in this hard time. But the leader is Jason , he is the one who lead everything , now he had already went to some other place to have fun , but I think he still wants the event to be big and successful , I will try my best to get it done. =)

Apoms , does not represent any special meanings , it is just a "name" between 5 of us. Eric , Yong Seng and I are having our hard time as we have lost 2 of our dearest Apoms.Though both of them are gone , but Apoms will always be 5. The number will only increase and it will never decrease. The name of " Jiao Apom" and " Chie Apom " will always be remembered and maintained.
*sorry , I don't have pictures with Jason , I am regretting for didnt took pictures with him.
Rest In Peace Ch'ng and Bren , you will always be in my mind. Both of you are my legend , my best friends and of course , my chung ling siao kias.

Away with the wind
Although I'm not very close to all of them except Zi Jun, I will say a few words here, courtesy of Pee Li's invitation.
It's not easy losing someone, especially those who are close to us. And I believe all of us had grown up and became a more matured young man/lady. Even when I think of it now, these scene, of deaths, of such grief, just don't belong in high school life, come and think of it, how many high school students experienced what we did? One in a thousand? Accidents don't happen often, but why us? Why our year? I'm as clueless as you are.
Yi Zhang, Brendon, Zi Jun, Yong Xiang and Jason... they are all good guys, from what I saw and heard. During my scouting days when I was Form 1 and Form 2, YZ and Brendon helped me a lot, because I was a semi-sleeping member that time. They are elites in our school. Superclass, in fact. Why did this happen to them?
However, we must be optimistic at times. They have moved on to someplace better, looking over us. Do you think they'd want to see us so sad? No. They would wanna see us moving on with life, living every moment happily.
What did we learn from this tragedy? Appreciate our family and friends, because we never knew what would happen.
Rest in peace guys. Once Chung Ling, forever Chung Ling. 爱吾钟灵!

Brendon and Yi Zhang’s Funeral
Again today I left school in the morning and went to my late friends funeral!! haih I really missed Brendon again I couldn’t control my emotions but it was already better compared to yesterday! Although I known Brendon for less then 2 years he will alwasy be in my memory!He will alwasy be sacarstic and mean towards me. Although he made me very mad at him for quite a few times I had alwasy forgiven him. He used to tease me about my ehad as I am born with a hereditary syndrome which makes my head shake when I think about something and he will alwasy use that action and say I cant aim properly la cant write properly la. He will always make that action that really irritates you but I miss it very much now.He will never tease me again d haihhh the last time i saw him was on Friday, in class were planning on making a video about Peter Chao as Peter Chao is his biggest idol! Check it out on youtube. PETER CHAO! but now… Brendon you will never ever be forgotten don’t worry!
After the cremation of his body we went to Yi Zhang’s place. Again although I was never in the same class with Yi Zhang nor the same primary but we had many same clubs! Especially us Tiong Leng kias! You know we always go to other classes during free periods so we kinda hanged out too!haih I think i had taken the last picture of him on Saturday!

Yi Zhang was there preparing his BBQ chicken for the form 1 students to try. he offered me 1 and I declined cause it looked uncooked that was the last time I saw him and then the tragic thing happened. I feel so awful now as I declined to eat his chicken for the last time and the final picture was taken by me. haih I really can’t accept that 1 minute I was taking his picture and seeing him face to face the next thing I am standing beside his casket. I miss you very much too. Haihh you must rest in peace alright!! Will always remember your cute poses and your cool dance moves!
R.I.P

小学篇。下

五年级的延凯换了华文名,改叫延开。
当 时,我乃乒乓校队,子俊乃第二拍,奕樟是第三拍,而我是第四牌。当年的区赛,槟华小学得了殿军,原因很简单,当时我们遇上了协和小学的第一和第二拍,也就 是前天去世的 Jason Ch'ng 和他的球伴 Alvin Quah。 那也是我第一次和庄纬翔的接触。我和弈樟败给了他们。
在五年级的第三次考试,地方研究, 全级只有我和弈樟的一百分,可爱的奕樟把我的考卷一个一个字啃,最后,只差一个字,探讨和商讨, 正确的是探讨,但因我的华文程度太高了,奕樟把文化字典出来说什么探讨是一对一的讨论,商讨是群体的。就这样我的了99.5%。
老实说,若前天的事是一场梦,我宁愿拿0分。真的。。。
十二岁,我和弈樟因良性竞争,我们俩都上了绿班,很高兴。
我在中国常识比赛中,又一次跟延开和子俊成了队友。而奕樟还是我最忠实的乒乓队友。
虽然在乒乓输了,但中国文化和时事比赛双双我赢都了。各门的成功都是靠大门给我的支持和鼓励。
我们都沉迷上了Pokemon Card, tiak rubber和赌博。
所谓的赌博是赌rubber的,前几个礼拜,延开才嘲笑我说我输了不知几百粒rubber和烟花后,我在老师面前哭了。
然而,我很肯定的是,不管做什么犯法的事也好,其他人每次都很幸运的溜走,只有我每次遭殃。
上午班时,见校长是家常便饭,每次都哭哭啼啼的从校长室走出来。
刚刚我才发现一个秘密,我妈不知道我被尤明月校长鞭过。这也是我每年的品行的B+。
认识了他们,我学会了怎样在老师面前演戏,他们的演技足于得OSCAR呢!
当年还记得炜灵说他暗恋延开的,旨文,延开和弈樟都有一样的口味,那就是Amanda和苡茜了。
而子俊呢?无人晓得。 我呢?天知道吧!
小学篇完。

Edmund Lim's Happiest Moments with Jason & Yi Zhang...
是我,纬翔,奕樟以及协和小学同学最开心的日子。。。
他们为了早庆祝我的生日特地准备了蛋糕,而且还抛水气球,弄湿了我全身。。。
当时是多么地兴奋。。。
世上没有一件事是永久的。。。
2010年1月17日。。。
在同学会举行过的三个月后,
纬翔和奕樟很不幸地在龙舟事件丧失了宝贵的性命。。。
我收到简讯时是多么地伤心,心疼。。。
自从那刻起,我一直在祈祷。。。希望他们能平安无事,回来再参加2010年的同学会。。。
haih...
我们三个在同学会烤食物吃。。。
美好时刻。。。纬翔,奕樟,您们永远是我最好的朋友!!!

PeeLiBoy's last with four of them
BUT
let us start from the beginning first
转眼间,林伯十岁了。当时因我成绩堕落,只能在第二班念书。谢子俊和杨延凯当年因成绩一流尔还在念精英班。
年头,两个协和的转校生来了我的班,正是吴弈樟小弟弟和郑嘉敏小妹妹。起初吴弈樟起初被安排和我坐在一起,但后来老师以“像孙悟空教坏其他同学”的借口,分开了我和弈樟,而让害羞的嘉敏代替了亦樟坐在我旁边。但是距离不是问题,我们的交际依然如同情兄弟般。
To be continue...
