Hi Stephen, i am sitting in the office today. daydreaming..drifting away in thoughts.. You know something... we humans are a bunch of asses... WHY do we need to have something like this to happen before everyone realized or start pouring out how great he/she is/was.. how much we will remember them for... how long they'll stay in our hearts etc etc etc how some even reassuring the whole damm world how safe or a nicer place they are right now.

CRAP DUDE.. USELESS.. TOO LATE.. Stephen, im sorry if i sounded rude. I'm pretty pissed off in fact for the past few days when D broke the news to me. It was like WHAT THE F**K!!!.. of all people u??? Freaking 1st Commando Battalion Officer.. dragonboater.. and u cant pull urself out of that capsize incident?? i dont know, if the rest can come out of it. why not you?? WHY..WHY WHY WHY..........

As your fellow commando officer.... if u're still around in camp together, you ought to know what you'll get for failure to extract yourself from dangerous situation and f**ked up along the way yeah??... haha i shall not remind you.

Stephen, yesterday i met up with most of my close friends and very unlikely of me... i actually took the chance to express how important each of them is to me..and guess what, they were actually delighted that i cared so much and they pretty much understood where it came from.

I don't really give a damm HOW many hearts u touched.. but u for sure made one here very sour and miserable... nuff said. I'm glad we got acquainted.. shared the same commando/dragonboat experience.

Stephen.. till then..PADDLES UP! AWAS! & FOR HONOR & GLORY....... COMMANDO!!! -G

NJC track team's tribute to Stephen Loh

This poem was read by teacher Stephen Loh's younger brother, Gideon at the end of his tribute.

Just as the mist it rises


Then vanishes way down the stream


Mr Loh too has come and then left us


Today it seems like a dream


That he was so much part of our lives


That he lived and loved as we do


Like the fish that a fisherman threw


Back in the stream to go on its way


And that is what he is doing today


To a bright new world, see the sun glitter


As he drifts from sight, though our tears are bitter


We know that he, like the salmon's leap


Will always be there in our memories deep.

More than a teacher... but a friend

Mr stephen loh....
more than a teacher but but a friend..
although he taught us for less than half a year...
he was already more than a teacher but a friend to us....
remember him giving us extra lessons after school from his own free time to make sure that we score wif flying colours in maths....
he will always answer our questions when we r in doubt....
We will never forget him....
Always in our memories...

Dear Mr Loh

Dear Mr Loh,

it's really a pity that you had to leave us so early. Through all entries posted by your students, it is really obvious that you are a great teacher, a great educator and a great friend. It's a pity that i wasn't your student. How i wish you would have taught me. Still, no matter what..your story touched my friends, many other singaporeans and definitely myself. We lost a great man. You will be a great role model to many, including myself. A guy who has passion in everything he does. A guy who's forever there to bring joy to the people around him. Mr Loh, REST IN PEACE. Deeply missed.

From Eugene.
