bye bye jester..
about 4 1/2 years ago, on 25th dec 2003, i bought a forever friends plush toy bear.. it was a christmas gift to peipei.. he wore a colourful scarf around his neck, and to top it up, a multi colour hat.. here is his picture..
we decided to name him jester, for he looked very cheerful, always ready to bring a smile to everyone around him.. throughout the years, whenever peipei or i went, be it at uni (that time) or be it to work, either of us will bring him along.. whenever we feel tired or wronged, unhappy or disappointed, we will take him out, give him a little squeeze or a cuddle, and our day doesn't seem that bad after all..
however, one fateful day a couple of days back, on the 24th july 2008, we discovered him missing.. the last person to bring him out was me, and the only conclusion was that he most likely dropped out of my pouch while i was walking, maybe bumping into someone..
the sentimental value of jester was way beyond any amount of money could ever buy, and it is just so painful to lose something that you have grown so attached to.. i was sad, peipei was even more sad, but life still has to move on, and i still hope that one day i'll be able to find back jester, and NO, buying a new and similiar forever friends plush toy bear won't be the same again..
i thank jester for bringing joy and laughter to peipei and myself for these 4 1/2 years.. bye bye jester, but only for now..
