someone sent me this after reading my blog and see how i was sad for the passing on of yew zhihao.

'And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away'
- Revelations 21:4

i guess this is really nice and its something that helps the accepting that he will not be around anymore. i hope anyone who reads this blog and is grieving over yew zhihao will feel this way too. he was a friend and now we must be friends to remember him, yet to accept this fact and get on with life.


let us do something for yewzee, something for his parents to remember.

Please help to pass this message on to all RI students.

Dear Batchmates of 2007 and fellow Rafflesians,

We are very shaken and very sad at Zhi Hao's sudden departure. Most
of you would probably be feeling the same way too.

While we are all grieving at the loss of a wonderful friend and
batchmate and being overwhelmed by feelings such as the brevity of
life, unfairness, futility, sorrow, loss and pain, we would like to
propose that we recall the wonderful memories of our times with Zhi
Hao - in school, in class, in project groups, in CCAs, in org
comms , or when we were just hanging around with him in and outside
school.

Let us capture all these in a book of tributes in loving memory of
Yew Zhi Hao. It will be a book of memories, tributes, photos and
more, celebrating the life of Zhi Hao.

If you wish to contribute to this book, please follow the following
guidelines:
- Use an A4 size paper (any texture and colour)
- Draw, print, handwrite, cut, paste (let your creative juices flow)
- Use proper language, ensure that it is a fitting tribute and be
sensitive to the feelings of Zhi Hao's family
- Please contribute as many photos of Zhi Hao as possible

We will start collecting and compiling all contributions into a book
when school reopens. Paul Tern is presently away on an overseas CIP
journey, so in the meantime, please contact Jonathan Lim at
jonathanlimes@gmail.com should you need clarifications.

Zhi Hao's parents may have lost a beloved son, but let us keep
memories of Zhi Hao alive for them through this book. May this book
be a source of comfort and strength for them .

Let us do our best for a dear friend,
Paul Tern and Jonathan Lim
