I remember the times we snuck out in your car to Decanter, DV and Segambut so that I could vent about the difficulties I was going through. I will never forget those nights we stayed up playing mahjong and eating the world with Rebecca Goh and Sophia Goh. I will always smile when I think of the way you lit up any room with That Laugh. And I will always appreciate the way you so selflessly gave your time (and ears) to anyone and everyone who needed it, and never asked for or expected anything in return. I could have met you for what I now know would have been the last time just three days ago, on Thursday March 27. It was so rare that you were in town and could come by for lunch. Im so sorry I missed you at the last minute; it is a cross I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I think back to my time as a magazine writer, and I realize that even though we never actually worked together -- unless clinging on to the same sinking ship counts -- you were one of those closest to me during my stint there. Thank you for everything you taught me in the short three years that Ive known you. Thank you for listening to me when it felt like everything and everyone I worked for was against me. Thank you for the love, laughter and hope you always inspired in me. You were taken from us much too soon, but God obviously needed you more, and I will always be grateful that He lent you to me for this short period of time. Be in peace, my sweet, sweet friend. You lived your life to the fullest, and there are few who can say the same for themselves. You may not have had the perfect life, but you tried your best to make life perfect for all of us. Sleep now, and keep the angels happy with That Laugh. I love you always. - In memory of the inimitable Mei Yeow -
