I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I
Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always, remember me
I am your brother - under the sun
We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun
Wherever you hear - the wind in the canyon
Wherever you see - the buffalo run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cos you are my brother - my brother under the sun

I have known Muraly, the Black Stalion of our team, since he was sec 2 at ACSI. We were travelling together on the same mrt with another acsi friend (whom i cannot recall) to boon lay and that was the first time that i had a conversation with him. He strikes me as a very humble and determined fellow, and i later came to know that he won the national primary school track and field.
On the track during training, he always pushes himself to the very best and of course, if i allow, he would always run barefoot! His presence and his attitude towards training have always inspired me, and his contribution to the this fellowship cannot be replaced by anything else on this earth. I could vividly recall during one of our 800m training that me, kusal and him pushed and encouraged each other during each of our sets. Even though the workout was punishing and the pain and the lactic he had to endure was probably much more than the both of us infront, he pushed himself so hard to catch up and run with us. I was very touched as it is the epitome of team running, where every teammate would push pass the pain barrier not for personal glory, but team glory. One can have a team of talented runners through chance, but one definitely cannot have a team of runners that are willing to run and sacrifice for each other! Muraly, is part of this special fellowship that i treasure alot.
And as he moves on with the next phase of his life, i wish him the very best. He has been through some tough times, but it did not take him down. That is why i'm sure that he will be able to hurdle through difficult times that will arise in the future like the water hurdle at steeplechase. Good luck and Band of Runners Forever!
