Rest in peace, Dominique Sarron Lee (center).
Rewind to 2008. It was first day in Temasek Polytechnic and I was as awkward as ever. Fat, lacking social skills, I was alone. I went in with my best friend but he was placed in a different group so we didn’t get that much airtime.
And then Dominique approached me. And at that time, I was swooned, head over heels. This tall, handsome and very athletic guy came up to me, to get to know me - I was excited.
We forged a good friendship, along with another chap from St. Patrick’s, Bryan, and we were, in the most docile way, the cool trio. I remember the three of us picking on another kid but that’s all just for laughs.
On the last day of camp, he took out his camera - one he had been hiding all along through out the camp. He even, God love him, gave me his camera so I could camwhore.
What a fun-loving fella.
Dominique and I rarely cross paths back in school, but whenever we do, we’d stand still for a while and caught up on life, talked about our studies, our CCAs, and he was part of TP’s Athletic team. Not forgetting the occasional jokes.
I believe he kinda knew I was always at the sports complex to watch him train.
I remember him vividly encouraging me to run faster while training for my own health. I remember him sitting at the red tracks, smiling at me, with a nod of approval, “good job, man!” he always said.
I remember finding him on Twitter, and having such awesome conversations, open at that, and he would joke around, and he gets my jokes. He can make me laugh, and it came naturally.
That’s the thing about Dominique. He never had to try. He was a natural social butterfly. You can put him in a room full of awkward people and still turn everyone into friends.
Dominique had a smile that could light up any dark room - and as cliche as it sounds, it is true. I remember seeing him with his long hair, and that silly hair band, smiling and waving his hands at me from as far as the other side of the football field.
We even had a competition over Foursquare, of who had the most check-ins and we’d always go back and forth, “YOU’RE MY BITCH FOR THE WEEK” to the loser.
Fast-forward to today. I was on my way back and catching up on the things I missed on Twitter, and then I saw the fateful news. Dominique Sarron Lee has passed. My jaws dropped. My eyes watered. And in the back of my mind, I thought to myself, how can anyone so amazing be taken away from the world?
Just last week was his birthday. He just turned 21.

“Did you get my birthday wish you?”
“No man, I didn’t get it. What was on it”
“Oh, nothing much. Just that you’re amazing, awesome and you were my first poly friend and you were my first ever poly crush.”
“Aww… That’s really sweet. Thank you so much.”

I admit. I don’t know Dominique as much as I hoped, but Dominique is always accepting of people, no matter how outrageous people may be. He was always so friendly, approachable, and there was nothing that was off-limits.
He is a winner. Let’s not count the many trophies he has. He has, probably, hundreds. But Dominique, more importantly, won our hearts and he will never be forgotten.
Dominique Sarron Lee, 11 April 1991 - 17 April 2012Forever in our hearts.
P/S I have so much more to say and I’m literally in tears, but I can’t seem to type anymore. I hope that you can hear my heart and know that God wants more time with you, thus He wants you by His side. Thank you for opening your arms and making the first step in poly so amazing, and thank you for always being you, no matter how shitty things may have been for you.
And thank you for inviting me to your gig. I did not regret going, no matter how late I came home that day and got a nagging from my dad. The fact that you personally invited me was evidence enough that you do take the people around you with so much love and guess what? We all love you.
And you’re awesome musician. You were the first ever person I met who went to Singapore Sports School. It was like Ash meeting a Lugia. You’re legendary.
Condolences to your family.
Rest in peace, my dear friend. I can’t type anymore. Sorry.
