First of all, I just wanna say that this post is dedicated to a man who, with no shadow of a doubt, has made an impact in my life, both as a person and as a percussionist.
That man, is Safuan Azari Haji Ibrahim.
A spirited character, with a fiery passion for whatever he has a passion for, be it percussion or otherwise. And that passion being put to action is undeniably one of the most memorable and awe-inspiring sights that I was fortunate enough to have experienced.
It's rare for someone to employ such a simple and stress-free approach to life like he does in times like these. But somehow, it worked for him, and that is one mystery of life I feel I might never come to comprehend.
Admirable. Truly admirable.
I regret not being able to bid you farewell personally yesterday. But then again, we all know you won't be gone for long. Iguess if we try hard enough, 3 years will pass by like nothing. I hope that SMS I sent to you got through; it's probably going to be the last one I get to send to you, for a pretty long time. =S
Till then, godspeed, Uan. May your journey bring forth rewards aplenty, and know that we'll be right here, in Singapore, if you need us.
Assalamualaikum.
(P.S. Suzie, just in case, the post I mentioned - it's the one before this. Heh.)
