    In memory of Lo Hwei Yen

    Random, Social Media, Thoughts, World, news No Comments

    Inspired by my fellow CNET Blogger Michael’s post, I did a check on friendster and was shocked to see how closely I was related to the poor Singaporean Lo Hwei Yen who was brutally murdered in Mumbai. This is what my friendster showed up :

    I was supposed to be in Mumbai anytime around this period and was just there at the Taj Hotel in Jan of this year. As if the reality of the whole terror was not close enough, this whole friendster discovery just made everything that much closer. 

    She had a wonderful life and so much ahead of her and it’s all gone now because of some stupid selfish morons. 

    Thus is the frailty of life in this uncertain world in which we live today.

    You’ll always live on the internet and in our hearts, Hwei Yen.
