(Picture with International President. James was standing at 2nd from Left)
I was asked to post some of James's photo in Leo Club yesterday but due to heavy workload, I've rejected Lion Ong's request and asked her to get Fiona's help on this. Furthermore, I'm not good in writting "bombastic" english. Back from office and saw an update in Penang Leo Club's blog, There is a photo of the Leo Day Fund Raising Project led by me in year 2005, 4 years back. Time flies fast, a young, energetic, talkative, hyperactive and optimistic guy had gone to another world without bidding godbye to his friends. His teenage life has come to a full stop on 1st November 2009. Though, I'm not close as the rest but at least I do have memories in Leo working with this guy.
(James was standing at the last row, center, next to Dickson Chen and Chan Choon Keat)
After I saw that picture, I was trying to find out my photo albums and look back those Leo photos that James was in. Photo helps to recall those olden days. It refreshed my memory and tell me he was one of the Top Fund Raisers in one of my favourite project- Leo Day Project in year 2005. Zhang Hao told reminded me this a few weeks back somemore that James and him were the TOP Fund Raisers of my project. I nearly forgot about this untill I was told.

As a token of appreciation to those who had been supporting me during my 1st Presidency in Leo Club of Penang (City) 2004-2005, I've prepared a number of President's Appreciation Awards and James was one of the recipients from Leo Club of Chung Ling High School. Again, this picture helps to recall his contribution to the Leo Projects. After he had received the small award from me, he came to me and said: Kok Sheng, my name is wrongly printed on the certificate la... I'm James Khor Wan Kai instead of James Wan Kai Khor. Can you re-print for me? hmmm... talking about this, I don't know whether I re-print or not.... :P I think I didn't. Should be alright whether the name is read as "James Wan Kai Khor" or "James Khor Wan Kai" as long as we know you are JAMES!
The 1st camp that I've organised in year 2006 under Penang Buddhist Free School Ex-Pupils Assocaition (Foyi), he was there too. You may notice he was not in blue Camp T! The reason is, he was not registered earlier and just came in the middle to join us for the camp. He looks so "special" in this picture. Obviously, he was not in the same color T as what we were wearing.

Until today, I still asking myself, "eh... real or not eh? or I was dreaming only?" ... hmmm.... Seriously, I can't accept a guy, a friend who is hyperactive in my eyes just disappear in a few hours. No choice but have to accept the fact that he has gone to another world or in better words we should say "James has migrated to another place as PR". I think this is better right? He is still with us all the time. :) Zhang Hao, frankly, I really don't know how to comfort you. After knowing that James had migrated to another place, the next thing that came to my mind is your name! I was very worry about you. Not only me, Shaw Jhee too. We were on skype the whole night long untill we both accept the fact. We do hope that you stay STRONG! Since it has already happened, we have no choice but to accept the fact and moving on. You need some days to recover from the sadness. I'm sure you can make it and say good bye to Mr. Sorrow and welcome Miss Joy back. I'm sure James agree with me too. He does not want to see so down.. sad and... sleepless! Cheer up brother!!!!!
*Life is precious and Fragile too..*
(P/S: To Penang (City) Leos and Region 1 Leos who present in James's Funeral, glad to see you guys there to give your last respect to our Top Leo Secretary! At least, we have done our best to see him for last before he "migrated" to new place May him RIP)
