Thank you Professor Koh
Professor Koh is no longer with us anymore :(
The service was heartbreaking especially when the church choir started singing while the Father performed the ritual. It moved on to a lighter note when his family and colleague gave their eulogies, sharing their side of Prof Koh that we as students never really saw.
He was, and still is a man that had various qualities that we could learn from. I was very moved by the fact that he touched many lives in the 50 years he spent on earth. Friends from all walks of life attended his memorial service, tracing back to people who knew him since his RI/Hwa Chong days. Students and friends turned up in racing gear, in ballroom dancing outfits, in their photographer gears. It was a celebration of his wonderful life and the number of friends he made in his lifetime.
It drives home the message that at the end of the day, it's not how much wealth you have or how popular you were, it's how many lives you touched in a positive way and how many remembers you fondly when you are no longer around.
"Never lose that sense of adventure in life" was his famous quote, which he first shared it as a part of speech to the graduating class of 2010.
Rest in Peace, Professor Koh. You are and will continue to be deeply missed. I'm sure your words and way of life will continue to inspire many.
