In memory of Jeffrey

Jeffrey, my colleague passed away this morning. He had been hospitalised for a few days due to a brain tumour. Everyone is still in shock. He had been very busy the last week, chauffering the students to various events and competitions.
And he had always lived that way, very busy and so difficult to catch in school. Yet, he always managed to remember my little requests to get something from KL or the many times I asked him to photocopy my projects in the last minute. He had never turned us down, no matter how small the requests. He also helped me design all the covers of my project papers and journals without charging me anything. I often wondered how he could remember all those things we asked him to do when he has so much more important things to remember. He has so many businesses everywhere...but somehow, he always remembered to get things done for school. Sometimes, he would quietly pay for our makan in the canteen. I will never forget his generosity and help. And that's the way I would like to remember him...
Goodbye my friend...
