Swimming was not quite Kal’s thing.
But he gave it a shot, eventually.

Counting down to the new year was
never more fun because of you… till I
fell asleep in the bathroom and you
had to join in a small hunt for my
whereabouts.

2014 New Year’s Resolution was to be more healthy and participate in
more wholesome activities. So we dragged you to play soccer and do
some cross country cycling (not really). Healthy 2014 lasted all of
January… then we rewarded ourselves with some unhealthy stuff.

Eating Beef noodles.
Hole in the wall, somewhere in Hong Kong,
March 2014.
It was drizzling. You got off the cab at the start of
the street. You stood there with your MO umbrella
and exclaimed – “Where are we eating?!”
Well, you ate anyway.

30. 30
The “small dessert platter” Kal ordered.
When we almost missed our plane,
because of this humongous platter of dessert...
Hong Kong, 2014.

Hong Kong 2014
Ocean Park and kiddie rides (cos you
and I chickened out on the big ones).
You kept asking for “teh bing” in every
restaurant even after we told you for the
10th time they called it something else
over there.

32. 32
Then there was
the girl with the
purple hair…
Ellie Goulding’s
‘Burn’...
Can’t believe we did it VIP Kal-style

Thank you for giving us the unschooled and
expensive lesson in fine dining at Per Se.

35. 35
You always looked out for my little bro …
Thank you for buying him a bottle of
champagne for his 23rd birthday in
New York.
And thank you again for showing him a
good time (champagne included) two
years before at Zouk, on his 21st.

36. 36
2014 // I’m glad we crossed paths.
Thank you for sharing your world with me 

July 2014
Quiet drinks - only because we were still
nursing a hangover from the night before. I
lost a wallet and phone and you generously
shoved a load of cash in my pocket.
You always took care of everyone.

38. 38
August 2014
You crashed a date.
This happened.
(Thanks for the
champagne. We still
have the magnum.)

Halloween 2014
We drank all day, stole some nerf guns, drank some more, lost the nerf
guns (and you), then reunited over chicken rice.
You spent the next morning looking all over for replacements while I was
passed out in the flat. Sorry.

November 2014
The only sensible picture of us I have on my phone.
Case in point below.

43. 43
November 2014 // Indian Splendour
You were less interested in connecting with roots than getting
everyone to have a wicked time.

44. 44
Tokyo / Niseko - Dec 2014
We had enough sushi in one
day to last us the next 6
months - and in true Kal-style,
only the best

December 2014 //
Kevon’s Send Off

Monday…

New Year’s Day, 2015

49. 49
January 2015
The night we pretended to “steal” a car, “joy-rode” around Singapore, and dumped the “evidence”, with
Sara screaming in hysteria (and delight). Typical Thursday night.

50. 50
January 2015 //
End of Month “Meet Balls”
You rushed over despite meeting a “cute girl” to eat
supper with us.
The aftermath can be seen in the background.
Well done, Kal. (Sorry, mystery date.)

February 2015
// “Wine
Appreciation/
Downing Soc”
It was my inaugural
one, and your one
year anniv. You had
to do it in style and
host it at Tippling.
10 bottles in total…
...There are pictures
I cannot possibly
share here.

An email from Kal, 22 May 2010
“Ah the question about the meaning of life! Hmm this is gonna be a tough question
to answer in writing >_< I guess for me there’re two aspects.. Just like the question
about if a tree falls in a forest with no one to see it or hear it fall, does it really fall, I
guess if we live a solitary life without significantly interacting with or impacting
someone else, do we really live? I think we don’t – so for me a huge part of what
I would want to do with my life is to live it for the relationships we forge with
other people, in terms of the people we impact, influence, touch, and what
not? Ever heard the song For Good from Wicked? Check it out – I loooove the
lyrics… and I guess aside from that there is the more selfish aspect of living for the
experiences.. we’re here for n number of years and I’d definitely want to have had
Lived before I leave… but yeah I guess that’s distinctly secondary.”
Thank you for everything. Till our next conversation, old friend.

53. 53
Thank you for the memories, Kal.

54. Because we knew you
we have been changed for good.
