We are sad to lose Zhuo Zhiwei, an ex-Ahmad Ibrahim Scout, on Sunday 18.02.01.  He was involved in an accident but he did not manage to pull through.

Zhiwei's passion was to make friends. He was loyal and true to each and every one of us. He was friendly, easy going, even tempered and bore no grudges. It's no wonder that he has so many friends, from school and army camp, who accompanied him to fight on till his last breath.

In 1993, he stepped into the worldwide brotherhood of Scouts and fought his way up the Scouting ladder.  Though he was not actively involved in Scouting after his graduation in 1997, he still rendered his help readily whenever there were any major activities coming up for the Ahmad Ibrahim Scouts. Although he is gone, he will always be a Scout, a true A.I. Scout.

Zhiwei, we love you. May you rest in peace forever. 

My dear friends, just close your eyes, and we will be with him and he will be with us, always.

Messages from Friends:

The first person i talk to since i step into Scouting. He is a classmate, a brother, a kind friend, of mine.  We stick together in Scouting since sec 1.  In sec 3, he become my baby 'dou miao' and he should be my brother 'dou miao' now since so many years had past.  Zhiwei, do you still remember our father 'dou miao' Thomas and another brother 'dou miao' Wen long? I tried contacting them, but to no avail.  I believe they will be sad losing you.   I still remember those happy times we had when we were with the "Pervert' patrol.  We fought hard together as a training QM to QM of AI Scout unit.  The days we rebel together against our leaders.  We were young and rebellious then.   Now that we have matured, and is setting off on a new journey through life, you left me, and all of us, the frens that you love.  i believe we will always be in your heart, and you can be sure that you will never be forgotten by us.  The days spent with you is deeply engraved in my mind.  May you find peace in another world.

You called me the day before you left this world, telling me about your live firing exercise at Lim Chu Kang.  You told me the night sky of Lim Chu Kang is filled with stars and you said you wish that i was there to teach you how to regconise them and tell you the stories behind every constellations.  I'm sorry i wasn't there with you at that time.  But now that you are free to roam about the universe, be sure to come back and tell me the secrets behind it.

-Your brother 'dou miao', Zhiyuan

FRIENDS are like a jig-saw puzzle. If 1 is lost, that special piece would never be REPLACED, and the puzzle would never be whole again. * Zhiwei, Although u are that special piece, but because u are not more that jus a friend to us, u are like a brother to us. And jus because of this...... u will not die but will have everlasting life in our HEARTS. Rest in Peace my friend...we will always remember you...

- Baoquan

I don't know what to say, it's too sudden for me. Just this morning I read what he wrote in ecircles and hours later, u all said he is dead.
Zhiwei: Although i may not know u well, but I want to tell u that u are and will always be part of our jiemei. Rest in peace...

*Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave
footprints in your heart.*
*Good friends are like stars.... you don't always see them, but you know
they are always there.*
Zhiwei..u will always be remembered..

zhiwei, although you are no longer with us, but your life has touched so many of us. Your friendliness and everything will always remain in our hearts from time to come. Your chapter does not end there and it will always never end for us. We will always remember you and our friendship will never never end. Miss you always.

- Rosalynn

Life is like a burning candle... some burn bright... others dim... some never gets to the end... but all that is not important... as long as you've brought light and warmth to all those surounding you before your light goes out... you've done your part... Our dear Zhi Wei has done this... he has brought warmth to our lives when we needed it... shine a light for our way for us when we're lost... He has turn countless frowns into smiles... and tears into cheers... even though now his fire is gone... there'll always be a eternal flame burning brightly in our hearts... in that special place where he'll always remain... and whenever we feel lost and lonely... just look inside that special place... to see him standing there... with a warm smile... we'll be able to draw strength from him... to carry on our journey...

Zhi Wei: Thank you for all you've done for us... we'll miss you...

-MengKiang

Zhiwei rest in peace. I am very grateful that you had make me your friend to be able to listen,  have fun with you. I enjoy and treasure the time together during all our gathering especially when we are out on our bike. Nevertheless, losing you is my regret the pain in my heart will always be there cause the God had given me a good friend and that is you. Always remember. 

Your friend, kimsong

i make a little prayer for you, but it's a big prayer to God.  If it comes true, it will be the biggest gift that i have offered to you.

Love, Yhee Fong

the more you live to help others in the overcoming of their obstacles, the more certain you are of solving your own...... Friendship brings out the magic...... Suddenly you meet someone, and you know instinctively he or she is your kind of person...... Let us try to keep what friends we have, for what a treasure beyond compare it is to have at least one friend who has been with us throughout a lifetime.

* Zhiwei, u are the one who has been helping us overcoming our obstacles and solving our problems... you are indeed a treasure which i believe all those who know you thinks you are... indeed you are the one friend which has been with us throughout the lifetime......*

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and be loved is the greatest happinese of existence.

* Zhiwei, you have loved us and we have loved you. And so you have given us and yourself the greatest gift in the World...Happiness.*

- Micheal Sim Baoquan

I'm very shocked when i'm informed about the fatal accident that happened once i have reached my house after the overnite camp.Tell you frankly, i still can't take the truth till now.  He's always so close to each and every one us.

Zhiwei:u may be gone......but u have left the most wonderful gift behind for us.  And left your most happy, sad and angry memories deep in our heart.  And last i want to said is "REST IN PEACE" my dear jiemei. Nanny will always remember u as a good jiemei i never had

- Zhicong aka Nanny

Zhiwei...Well, I am not really that good with words like you know...Although I always bully you at times verbally, I always treat you as a friend so close that's like of a brother. This is my treatment to friends who are close to me, i tend to open up more...Well, I deeply regret not treating you well enough before you had your last...But I was very touched to hear that you treasured the shirt I gave you on CNY. It made me felt that you appreciate the gift. I dunno what is enough to tell you now as it is too late...I should appreciate you when you were here and not cry when you are gone. As a good friend of yours, I feel that I had failed deeply as a good friend, as a brother. I have much regrets but it is too late to put into words now as it is futile now. I am sorry for not being able to fufill your last wish by asking Angela to visit you. I tried but I did not manage fufill it. The happiest thing i felt for you during your departure was....you had many friends who appreciate you, cried for you, and prayed for you...But still sorrow was still evident in my mind. I felt crying for you by then was too late as I was the one beside you during the event but I never realised the fact that you were too tired to have enough concentration. I hope, wherever you are, you will forgive me for all these wrongs I did to you. Never have I thought that losing a friend like you was a big loss in my life, cause you were the one always taking care of me, promising my mother to take care of me and introducing so many friends to me. I felt lost at the moment I lost you. Only now then did I realised I lost something so precious in my life, worthing much that I could use to measure...I have reached till a point where I dunno what else I still have to say to you BUT, trust me, I will try to make you rest in peace, I will try to help your family in means I could. As you have told me before about your family, I think I know what I could do...Before I end off, I really, sincerely want to tell you that, I really miss losing you this brother( almost my blood brother). Before when you was in the theatre, I told myself that when you got well, I will make sure I will bring you to have a Thank You meal with the guy who helped us alot in that event. I , through this website, hoping he could see it too, would like to thank Melvin Chia, a student of NUS's faculty of Dentistry who tried gaving you (Zhiwei) a ray of hope by offering much help to us although you never pull through...I hope that you, on hearing all these will understand what I am talking. Because its meant for you only. If others dun understand what I am talking, I know you will...I hope you will lead a much better next life after this life. Leave us and lead your next life BUT just remember to leave your memories always in my heart. I will remember you for as long as I live i guess....As you are the one friend who has made the greatest impact on my life... 8 years of friendship made me understand what is realli called a good friend and that is YOU... I have more to tell you but I think I should end the more personal stuffs to this point. You taught me a great lesson in life.. therefore in this long message, I would like to tell everyone who reads this to appreciate your own life. Dun say it wun happen to yourself, YOU just never know... See what has happened and try to visualise these events. Everything is dangerous but You can minimise the danger if you dun do things that endanger anyone including yourself... thats all I have to nag.

I felt this msg felt brief but I really dunno how to express myself deeply like how I feel...

From:Gilbert Teo aka Koo Koo Bert(as you always call)      

Always Your Good Brother who rides on 2 wheels with you for many years....

Tok Chee Wai, I will really miss you in my heart, always. Rest In Peace.

To Zhiwei: i may not know u at all but i had heard ur name... but after reading ur story it had touched my heart... on how u had given ur time to shower ur fellow friends with love and care... how u had given them hope and warmth... on how u treasured all ur friendship that u had especially to ur brother scout... i envy u in all ways... u are one that no one wish to lose... u must be one that is full of smiles and light that had brighten the life of so many... MAY U REST IN PEACE... all ur friends miss u a lot...

- hamida, a sister guide from CTSS

To: Zhiwei:  i'm huiyu's poly friend.although i dunno u at all but after reading all these messages and seeing how sad huiyu is, i'm realli touched. i can feel how ur friends are feeling. u must be a realli good and kind and a realli best friend to everyone. i can see that huiyu is feeling veri miserable and sad in skool but she is trying not to let her feelings show. i not someone who noes how to comfort a person and all i can do is to feel sad for her and all ur friends and family. i'm not good at words but i wish that u will rest in peace and wherever u r, i wish u happiness.

- A friend

To Zhiwei: Though you have gone but i believe that you will remain in the sweet memories of ur fwens and those who know you. You must be a great gentleman...A great friend.... A great leader.... I just happen to see this site on IRC #scouts_n_guides. Wonder if you are a chatter there..... Anyway may you find everlasting peace and good bye friend...

- JeRkOgIsT (Fox Scout Group)

Zhiwei, i read the condolences and they have brought tears to my eyes... they've truly reflected the love u have once given them... although people are grieving now, i'm sure they'll realize one dae that they are the lucky people whom u've chosen to be friends with... i'm sure the sweet memories will live on...

"God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home."

Your Sister Guide, Ja-ne (MGS, 16th Coy West)

Although i may not know you i know that you are a scout, and a scout that have left is indeed devastating to those who know him. As a scout all of us are bonded together by the scouting light, even if we dont know each other. I just want to pray for Zhiwei and may you rest in peace..... brother scout..... May the scouting light always be with you.....
