this post is dedicated to one of my good pals, and the best goalkeeper ive ever played together with all my life.
we met when i was in year one, in the ngee ann soccer team. you were one of the more prominent figures in the squad, being one of only two keepers, and to me the best one i ever knew. everytime u made a save, we'd all go whoa malik damn good sia! super flexible, goal kicks never failed to go pass half field. not to mention ur accurate strong throws.
saw u during some of my lessons because u and dave raj would always be doing projects in the classroom next to mine.
besides being a great keeper, you were also a great person. good at heart, always sticking up for your friends, and thinking of others before yourself. 9 out of 10 times u always agreed to help my team play even if it meant going all the way to bishan alone on ur bike, helping us check if the field was in usable condition, then going all the way back to commonwealth field and playing in the sucky conditions in the end. i still remember your first match with us, it was because of ur bravery that we managed to finally grab a rare win.
you lost ur mum a few months back, but u continued to put up a brave front. u got into an accident on ur bike, but still came down to play a match for us with your injuries. in all you were always there when we needed you.
fuck man.. u didnt deserve to die.. life's just that unfair. u cant just leave like that? for no reason ? to think i just tried to call u on saturday, wanting to ask u to play soccer with us again. your phone was off, i thought u were in camp. why couldnt u just pick up for one last time.. u promised to be there playing for us whenever we needed u. infact, we will ALWAYS need you. we cant do without malik..
then again theres that old cliche that you'll alwas be there with us spiritually eh, in our hearts? not good enough. at least not now..
im happy i actually got to spend time with u besides during school training only. im happy ur bike gave me that burn mark at the back of my leg.im happy ur gonna actually meet ur mum again in heaven. im happy u wore my jersey to play that time. and im happy that i got to know u. ill always rmb the way u always shouted my name so damn fucking loudly-.-
from the guys at krane fc, rfc, and from me of course. malik (very pain, very long haha) , our number 1, Rest In Peace.
