Hey, it's speech time.
"To my brothers, I plead for your attention as my last tears dry up and vaporize into the atmosphere, becoming nothing but another water particle, useless and mediocre. We've been together for a very long time, some of you I've been with more than a decade, some of you for not even half of ten years. However time is not relevant in the quest of finding yourself, and in mine I have not only discovered myself but I've also discovered others who accept me as I am.
I am in debt to you all. Through thick and thin, through fire and ice, you have all been there, one by one if not all at once. I cannot ask for a better group of brothers, though not related by blood, we are related by our hearts and our hearts beat for one same reason: to live life not as if life was a chore, but to live life as if life was the only thing we had.
I cherish the moments we spent together. I will miss all our laughter, our tears, our joy and our sadness. We stuck together for all this time and never once had I doubted your sincerity. Because I know that my love towards you people is equivalent to your love to me. With you all I have gained much more than I have lost. The only thing worth being sad over is that we never really got to explore the world more. We never got to hike to the heights of mountains or dive into the depths of the sea. As I lie on my stomach here writing this I feel as if little by little my soul is being ripped apart from my heart, mind and body. I am physically whole, biologically intact, spiritually unshaken but my psychology is gradually increasingly insane. My mentality is divided, my sorrows know no boundaries and my sadness is creeping.
We will all find new friends out there. No matter where we are, whether if it is in Tangkak, Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya, Penang or even in Sarawak, friends will increase. We will find new companions. This I am sure of. We will build bonds with others, connect with strangers, befriend fellow humankind. But I plead and I beg, do not forget who you've spent with for the last 5 years or more. Do not forget all the times we shared. From when we were just little kids to when we became brave enough to drive around at night. From when we were stuck to Play Station One games until we knew how to hack online games. From when we were strangers to when we can call our bond more than just mere friendship.
We are all brothers. Leave bloodlines aside for a moment and think about what the true definition of a brother is. Inside I am filled with turmoil. My heart is beating chaotically, my head thinks of nothing but you guys and my soul has almost depleted itself. Parts of me have separated. They have gone or will go to their desired places, to follow the path they have chosen themselves. I was the one who left you all first. I am guilty of not trying to link us better. I am ashamed that I could not get to see all of your faces before you go. I am despaired that I will not get to see all of you everyday like we used to. I am filled with agony since we never will have the same holidays. I am clinging on to my last hope before I fall into depression because you all are the reason I never feel lonely.
Though a phone call might soothe the nerves of this perspiring body and text message could be the remedy to a broken heart, I am not sure how our bonds will stay as strong as they were a few months ago. Time will heal my pain but scars will be left for the world to see. Just thinking about us not being together kills me inside. I might be exaggerating but exaggeration here is of pure necessity. You all made me who I am. We are all Signers, we bowl together, eat together, sleep together. We even go grocery shopping together. I can never forget the dark days I faced and without all of your help, I wouldn't know if I'd be this happy and delighted to be living life.
Ahmad Faiz Ahmad, Abbas Ridzuan, Michael Kong Wen Lung, Meesam Saifulbahrein, Muhammad Izzadee Husin, Gibson Guri and everyone else whom I've been spending my school days and after school days with, I wish you all the best of luck in your future. I will not promise nor will I swear or vow, but I give you my word, I will try my best to reunite all of us so we can all be together again. Maybe it will be for just one night, or better yet a whole week together. Nevertheless, I will reunite us all. Though impossible as it may seem, I will make the impossible possible.
My friends, my companions, my brothers. Till the end, you will all be in my heart. I love you, guys. And I'll always miss you. Thanks."
