- Eulogy -
Hello all ! The last time I wrote such a long and thoughtful text was during my wedding, so I hope I've addressed everyone properly and not left anyone out.
This will be my final text to my friends, families that I've loved in my life as well as my brothers and sisters I've met along the way. You guys were truly awesome and I truly wish you all well in everything that you've done and will do in the future.
Let this photo be my blackwhite photo as this was the most meaningful period of my life. Learning to takecare of myself in a foreign country at a young age while finding my goals for my future despite its difficulties. Life was very kind to me.
Know that I've enjoyed my lifetime knowing you all, it's been such a pleasure. But, this time I'll selfishly make a decision for myself and a hasten trip to go ahead first and I'm sorry it's in this way that I am able to inform you all. I just couldn't bear to watch any of my loved ones leave me first and ahead of me anymore and it's so painful just the thought of it, I am happier to think that I'm the first to be leaving first to make sure the roads ahead are smooth and clear.
Goodbye all my seniors uncles and aunties, my cousins, as well as my lovely sister and 爸爸妈妈. 对不起, 谢谢你们这一辈子的呵护❤️
阿公阿嬷外婆，
你们的 Ahboy 先走一步，谢谢你们这辈子对我的照顾和爱, 你们辛苦一辈子养大了你们的子女们，才让我今天有那么疼我和爱我的叔叔们和姑姑们。我走的时候不痛, 不辛苦请不要伤心。
我内心非常开心也很感恩，能有你们当我的长辈是我这一辈子的幸福。阿公每次问我做工辛苦吗，阿嬷每次问我吃了吗，外婆每次告诉我有事有事直接说. Ahboy 爱你们。

Uncles and Aunties,
I love you all so much, you guys taught me what is 团结就是力量 and band together by taking care of your parents, together. I'm blessed in my lifetime as a younger generation to witness all these efforts. I wish you all the best.
Cousins~ (English so elders don't understand)
Guys, I got to go first liao and I'm sorry it's in this form but, my lifetime couldnt have greater fun having you all as my cousins, I love you all sibei much and so much more. I can't thank you all enough and I know I don't say it enough
To all my commercial diving colleagues and brothers,
I find that we work in a really weird industry, Commercial Diving. (SWEE SWEE BO CHAO CHWEE) Doesn't matter what's your background, or what you are going through currently, when it comes to fixing the bolts and nuts in sg waters, we are the ones you call upon as a community.
Personally going through life and death experiences twice, needing to attend for search and rescue for missing diver that I used to worked with, I couldn't comprehend at all. People always say we earn alot as a commercial divers, but I always tell people this as I don't want to paint a beautiful picture.
We
Earn more than scholars,
But we sleep like homeless,
Sometimes we eat like beggars,
As much as we want, we don't always get to spend time at home with our loved ones.
End of the day we just wanna bring food on the table no matter what, hoping that our loved ones will enjoy life better than we do.
This time your diver 1 gonna leave bottom for good.
"Sup, Diver leaving bottom" and I know you guys will understand. Thank you, for all your support and your kicks in my butt during my most difficult phase, you know who you are. My happiest moments daily is when we greet mornings to each other, and the simplest form of wishes "dive safe" to kick start the day, it's so precious and I love you all.
Finally, for my family.
妈妈，妳说的关关难过我们关关过
爸爸，有空回家
姐姐，吃了吗
这辈子有你们你真的好
I've had a great life, I love you all.
I wanna die, by the sea, with no rituals, and on my own terms. My ashes be scattered in the vast oceans, this way I'll always be travelling via the beautiful waves and this is, my final wish to complete.
In the future, everytime you miss me, look at the sea, because I will travel the world in this way. The sea is my home and will always be my home.
There is no sadness and pain for me and I'm glad this journey ended for me knowing I've spent it with my loved ones. I truly dislike rituals with what to do and what not to do. Mentally I am finally complete.
Fair winds and following seas, as I embark in my next voyage. Take care of yourself. It's time to have fun for myself finally hehe.
Till we meet again, I've had a good life. I hope yours will be perfect too❤️
