[ People Whom I’ll never forget - 3 ]

Name :- Wilson Goh
Last saw :- 16th September 2006..
Venue :- Somerset Party World
Expected to be :- Somewhere in Bugis as Software Sales Engineer


It’s funny that I know this person since the age of 10 and we’ve never been in the same class. Wilson is a neighbor, school mate and a good kopi buddy as we grew up in the same neighborhood. Because of his skinny build compared to my oversized figure, we can be said the weirdest of all combination of all friendship.

Since young, Wilson has not been escaped with the association with “Monkey”. In primary school, he was called “Lao Monkey” which literally means “Old Monkey”. Until today, we are still not too sure about the originator of this phrase and of course, we still can’t understand why “Old” was included.

Wilson was not spared in Secondary school either as this time, he was referred as “Xiao Ki” (Small Monkey and this time the originator had a better description than the previous).

We have always got a lot of stuffs to interact and often he was someone whom I can tell my problems to. I remembered he was the one who accompanied me right before my enlistment. We went to 7 eleven to get some stuffs as naturally I couldn’t sleep.

In 1998, My first book out of camp ended in disaster-mood as Wilson was in the mist of breaking up with his girlfriend that time. Our pubbing session ended within 2hours and him as dead drunk and had to sleep over at my place. We’ve never mention that incident ever again as I would believe it was one of his lowest moment in life and yes it was the FIRST time I ever saw he cried, think he was really sad.

In 2000, we had a small rift because of someone. I’m glad I’ve chose not to give up this friendship that time if not I might have lost 2 very good friends. This incident had also make me realize the importance of friendship and one day it will definitely tested.

I see Wilson as someone who is under a lot of pressure from his elder siblings & his future wife. Bet his ego and pride gotta have some kind of relation in this.

Sometimes I wonder what type of person am I in front of him, What kind of person he see me as? What kind of inspiration he can draw from me.

Maybe one day he might tell me….
