In Memory

Tee Yen. I received a SMS from your brother this Wednesday. He said that you have left us and your wake will be till this Saturday, today. It is not something people would usually joke about, but honestly, I was suspecting and hoping it was when I first read the message, I was thinking, "It's not funny man" but didn't dared to call back. Like I mean, I just saw you online a couple of days ago.
I went to confirm it somehow, and saw quite some comments left for you in friendster, some from our old classmates too, guess we were all thinking alike. Then I found another message, dated just awhile before Wednesday, also from your brother, about your critical condition due to the accident.
So, Andrew Teo Tee Yen, I do not know the you after we left secondary school, though it seems you have become quite the reliable fellow. And I'm guessing except for "Hi", and "how you doing?", we really don't have much to talk about. But I do remember you as the guy with the dream of owning a monster size CPU packed with circuit boards and armed with an array of cooling fans that fills up the whole of the back of the CPU. And the first guy I know who can remember all the different chips and components and their reliabilities and uses found in those leaflets and price lists given at Sim Lim Square.

Be safe man, see you around.
