Thinking of You!! Just recently I've been listening to your music over and over igen. I listen, I think, inom cry... Such a talented individ was taken away from us so soon, too soon... It has been eight long years... but yet you still live in our lives... and alltid you will... You were such a legend... till now, there is no band that can produce and perform such great music like you... You are the one and only Ka Kui...
Sometimes I think, why? Why did god give you such talent and then take you away? Its really hard to imagine that you are no longer in this world but in heaven... a place very very far from us...
I had wished when I was little that I understood music more, and now when I do, you are no longer here to show us... Forever I will keep in my memory, your smiling face when playin
