Musings...

Searching for lingerie in malaysia?

Was reading a Liu Yong book, title loosely translated as "Love's Code".

In a particular short story, he recalled a documentary that he watched about Anne Frank's diary.

Anne, her mother and sister died in a Nazi concentration camp. Her father survived, and her diary was translated into 55 languages in the world.

The program interviewed Otto Frank:

"Frankly, I rarely spoke to my daughter, until I read her diary, only did I understood her. To date, there are thousands of young people writing to me, telling me how touched they were by Anne."

This story reminded me of when....

We were chatting during dinner shortly after Rosline passed away, and we were sharing funny stories about her. Mango who was in Italy posted a lot of videos of her. BeatRice told us that during her driving test: She had her seat belt on and everything was ready. The instructor told her:"Keluar." And instead of moving the car out of the lane, she unbuckled and got out of the car.

How we laugh at that.

Then Vinh said, "If only her parents knew, that people and friends all around the world were talking and sharing her life stories..."

Many people obsess about trivial and material things in life, and forget about the things most important to them. Until the day, they are lost, separated, or gone forever, then the hurt of realization comes too late.

Rest in Peace Suki-San

Searching for lingerie in malaysia?

I've just received news yesterday morning that Rosline has passed away. It really came as a shock as her condition was only known to me not long ago. Our get-well cards did not even reached in time.

Even though I only knew her shortly, as I lay in bed yesterday, it suddenly hit me that I would never see her again. I actually cried when memories of her resurfaced.

I last saw her in December, before I flew to Australia, when we were at an AIESEC event, NLDS 2005. She was filled with enthusiasm to carry out her new duties in the club. We slept in the same room, gossiped about other people and talk about boys and relationships. She would scream with laughter when we were chatting about naughty topics. We practised our funny jingles together and came up with an Egyptian-themed dance. On actual performance day, she did beautifully and many came up to request for her number. She squealed in typical Rosline fashion when we teased her about it. She was active and cheerful, an avid Jay Chou fan with a love for anything Japanese.

How young she was and life was full of promise.

It was merciful that God did not let her to suffer for long before taking her to His arms. Here I offer a silent prayer for her family, for balm to soothe the loss of one so young.
