IN LOVING MEMORY OF YIP KOK CHOONG - http://yipkc.blogspot.com
Had personally known Kok Choong (aka KC) since MIF Conference held in KL
When we were both MIF Presidents then in our youth
From young he had dedicated himself to serve fellow youth well
And he did it by example beyond mere use of his mouth
He had spent the greater part of his early life in various Methodist youth programmes
Where he helped to develop many youth leadership courses
In his own personal championship of important and vital causes
Regardless of them being relatively simple or considered very grand
In his desire to serve the greater and larger community
He gave up his promotional teaching post (as senior assistant) to work in the KL YMCA as GS
With his wide social contacts he had his personal 'immunity'
And serve faithfully with all his best without empty gas
He was practically married to YMCA until he met Lucy
Although deep in his heart the desire to serve God and mankind was what he fancied
Thus he was prepared to be with Asia Alliance in far away Hong Kong
Even if it meant he would often be alone due to work all along
He didn't drink but he was a workaholic
He would smile often and was fantastic
He had his winsome ways and was charasmatic
He had fought the good fight in manner dramatic
Dedicated to my beloved friend Yip Kok Choong in his memory.
