Hongie! This one is for you!

Hongie! I miss you so much!

Chin up, all will be well. I will always be your man. You are my gay side relationship which must remain a secret. My 2 wives and 3 concubines must never know.

No matter what happens, come what may, you will always have me.

I love you to death, Hongie. You are the bestest friend I could ever wish for.

Kindergarten, Woodlands Primary School, secondary school, poly, night school, Simply Bread, the army and Uni, all the things we go through together.

The New Year Eves spent under the bridge, alone except for the sounds of our own cheers at midnight. The strolls in the War Memorial, looking at Captain Peacock's stone, chasing grasshoppers in the children's grave yard. Shopping for cheap clothes in JB. The tears we cried over bastard men, how we watched our first movie at Yishun. It was Mortal Kombat, a classic film based on the hit banned video game. At least, in Singapore.

Digging out cat skulls in the long jump sand pit in the back of Woodlands Primary School. Putting the blame on me... *groooowl*

But, since the age of 4, our friendship has grown by leaps and bounds.

I will always love you, baby. You are really my soul mate.

Who needs Travis Fimmel when I have you?

I know whatever you choose in life, you will do so based on what is good for you. You know what to do. I can't wait to see you in November in Adelaide.

We had a great eighteen years together. May we have a few 'eighteen' more.

I love ya Hongie.
