Cause I'm Ready To Fly... By: The Boss 2 comments

Well friends, looks like another bird has left the nest this spring. I dont know about you friends...February always brings a mixture of feelings for me. Its that time of the year for friends and loved ones to say goodbye, or rather 'we shall meet again'. Airport trips, Burger King outing, doing the 'walk'...man, its like slowly becoming a Malaysian tradition/celebration. And so...this time the honour belonged to our beloved Cmdr. Kenny Chin!

To be honest, many times we come across people whom at times, we're glad to see them go! Haha...but for Kenny, I can honestly say that none of us wanted to see him go. The only thing harder than seeing him go is the thought of going thru all these following months without him...I know he'll be back, but well...its just not the same without him.

As a boy, we watched him grow through Sunday School, Children's Church, Royal Rangers, Power House, Youth Alive...and what a man he's grown to be! Not only is he every man's man...he's definitely every women's man! Wooo hooo!! Dependable, sacrificial, a man with a servant's heart, faithful, smooth...he's got it all, people! Only issue is the height factor...haha! But hey, if ever I needed someone I can depend on, he's my man for the task! A true ranger...Ready For Anything!

Even as we said our goodbyes and walked with him as far as we can go, our prayers will always be that he will change the lives of many over there...just as he has done for us all the years. For those who has served alongside him, grown together over the years, had our fair shares of ups and downs together...its been a blessing to share it with him. And these memories will keep us going till you come back, dude...:) And when you do, bring back that older brother of yours too! Haha...

Anyway, I dont want to get too emo over here...how about we view some pics of the lil' farewell party we had at the airport? Sounds like a good idea...

Its not hard to miss him...just look for the ladies, and you'll find your man. In his words, "The more the merrier!" Sounds like a plan! Ali, Mich, Uncle Coke, Kech, Kyle, and Charlotte.

Finally he found some time to be with his homies at BK...Kech, Kev, Sammy, Reubs, Park Ji-Shaun, Collin and Dan.

The Chin clan from Kapar...Kenny, 'Mother' Theresa, big mama, and Kevin. The other OCBC fella is in Aus...:)

Together with the extended Chin family...the Chan's! Nice eh? Looking a lil' like the Simpsons?

Taking one last ride on the escalator as we edged closer to the dreaded 'walk'. Its like a scene from Armagedon...the point of no return!

The E-Rangers, youths and friends who turned up in full force to make sure he leaves for real!

Kenny sandwiched between his two favourite buddies...Laura and Alison!

Group prayer, led by Aunty Marge...

The time has come for me to leave you...its handshakes and hugs all around!

As his Sr. Cmdr, its always tough to see someone like Kenny leave...he's always been such a dependable and capable leader. I know for sure that great things are in store for you, my friend...

And one by one, the circle of brotherhood gets smaller and smaller...no worries Zf! We're here for you, man. In a non-physical way, I mean! :)

As always, Phaik Joo and Lisa were looking to see who would shed tears first. And in this case, I think they both lost...

One final goodbye to the family, as they watched him leave...

"Goodbye my lover...goodbye my friends...you have been the one for me..."

You know, thought it looks like a short distance...thats really one long walk for him. To leave everything behind...everything that means so much to you, and to step into the unknown...

Hey hey...guess who turned up at the party!? Yuppp..its baby Anabelle! I hope I got the spelling right, eh...Soooooooooooooo cute! The baby, I mean..:)

Well Kenny, even as you're over there enjoying the hot summer of Australia, the E-rangers has got this lil' dedication segment that we'd like to share with you...sort of like advice/dedication/message for you! Pls note that some of the message had to be edited, some censored, and some added on to add that lil' extra bite and passion to the whole thingie...! Enjoy, mate...

And as always, I'll have the last say....

"One day I asked a friend of mine, if he could be a fish for a day, what kind of fish would he be? And he told me this, "If I could, I would want to be an Ikan Bilis." Why? "Cauz' its small, it tastes good, and goes well with everything! Sambal, deep fried, salted, nasi lemak, nasi goreng, mee goreng, ice cream, durian, ect etc etc...

I like that.

You'll always be our Ikan Bilis, bro. God bless and make Sel #6 proud wherever you go, dude. We'll be waiting patiently for your return..together with your degree, our chocolates and some koalas. Get your degree, get on that plane, and make your way home. See you in a year's time!

With lots of love,

Your E-Rangers and friends...
