I started this thing months ago, it has been a long pause since then. The good vibes came as I was polishing my lenses. So I begin, writing not just a chain post, but a legend of Sean.
How long has it been? 3 good years down the road, its rather short, but grand in value. Apart from my will and effort to be who I am today, he is, and always will be my source of motivation, encouragement, and inspiration so to speak.
As I remember vividly when we first talk about music back then, all I know was the chinese pop stars that I have been listening for years and a few boy bands that you can't possibly miss like Backstreetboys or Westlife. I don't even know who the hell Coldplay and Switchfoot is as he was sharing vigorously that time. I find it so funny as I thought of this everytime. Nevertheless, he still share his piece of music with me in the days later. He wrote some songs during the days of Missing mercury, sometimes he will ask for my comment, as though I know what music is all about. But as far as I know, they are all good, and I am waiting for their revival.
He is somehow weird in his own way, he don't social as much as me. He prefer to be left alone most of the time. Its hard to spot him in crowd, and even as you see him now, he will disappear later anyway. He will be at the corner, buzzing his own business and talk to the people that he is comfortable with. Give him his books, his music, 2 jeans, 2 shoes, 5 shirts, some socks, a cushy bed and a credit card and he is set for life. He defines low profile, or maybe the other way round. Its just amusing. 3 years, Sean never change since the first day I met him.
I am into photography today because he did, I dive because he did, I write because he taught me how, he taught me how to choose a perfect suit, he taught me delayed gratification, I speak better now because he laugh at me mercilessly all the time when I made mistake, I gave up August Man and pick up GQ because he gave me hundreds of them and wanted me to be benefited. Over the years, I just can't deny that many things I do today more or less is because of the influences that he bring into my life. He is just like a elder brother to me, its just that I thought my brother would be bigger in terms of sizes.
Sean is always good in general knowledge, he speaks intelligently, his words are profound, despite the fact that I hate to agree with that. I used told him in a cranky manner that he must make a success and be rich so that I can depend my life on him in the future. But now his life has been reset to the unknown, so far away that he can't even see what's coming his way, I pray to God that angels will take care this buddy of me, be there with him as You are his source of wisdom, courage, and peace.
That day when he said "This is it!" while lifting his luggage bag as we were about to leave the house, I felt so sad and I know the person that I am looking at right now will be a friend for lifetime. I thank God for friendship. People here will be missing him, people like me. In fact, these 2 days I already felt something is missing, a hang out partner. But this is not the end as he said. For now, I just want to say a simple thank you to him, for consistantly being who he is, all his advises, and all the blessing that he has given to me.
Take care there mate, just book me a flight ticket and I will be there for you anytime, anyday!
