When I was walking to the bus stop downstairs,I heard some Amithaba sutras. I slowed down and tried to find where it was coming from.... and...it was hers....that girl....so young....BARELY 15 years old...GONE-departed from the mortal world. I read her blog and seriously,I can't imagine the pain her friends are going through right NOW. Can you imagine living your life without your best friend/friend/classmate? Knowing that they are gone forever,never coming back again. I can't, and I don't want. So,you people better take good care of yourself and don't go before me,only I can go before you. Although I don't really know her,but I saw her many times. I mean,her best friend just lives the same block as me. Sometimes when I go to school,I would see the both of them. I can still remember the first day of school when I was in sec3. I was walking down the stairs and I saw okay,let's just mention their name. I saw Amelia and BeeHan in my school's uniform and I was thinking,"huh?! you're in my school?" I was kinda shocked la. Sometimes,I'll also see them in the bus. Before they entered sec1,according to my vague memory,I would see them loiteting downstairs. I've got nothing else to say. I just wanna wish Amelia that you will have a peaceful afterlife and,this may sound cliche,just rest in peace,think about nothing,nothing's ever gonna worry you,just rest in peace.

Pamela just called and lament about Amelia's death. Telling me how sad she is,well,PAMELA YEO JUN WEN,you have no right to be sad okay! Only her best friends can. I don't know if erm,her best friends like,Angela,BeeHan.. well only know these two, and erm..Jocelyn(her pri sch friend) will read this,but well I just wanna tell you girls to carry on with life,sadly,without her,bravely okay? Study very,very hard and get distinctions for your N and O levels as she would want you to achieve,'coz she will never have a chance to do it. Don't get into anymore trouble because I know if given a chance,she would wanna live a life that all of us crave for. I'm not saying all these like a know her very well,but I'm just saying this at a spectator's point of view.

Last december,a boy who lived a few apartments away from me passed away too, and he was 15. Recently,if you've watched the news,a girl was stabbed to death by her mother. Thursday,I read the obituaries and one boy,16 years old,from FuChun sec passed away. And then came my schoolmate. You see,there are so many teenage deaths that many of us would find it difficult to accept. Thinking about them,I would realize how fortunate I am to be blogging now,to be waiting for dinner,to be able to go to school next week,to have accomplished N levels...etc etc.... Life is so fragile,really fragile,we're fighting for survival every breath we take. Come on,life is very short,cherish it. Don't do silly things like mutilate yourself,smoke-thinking you're so damn cool.

To all of us who are breathing,we are blessed to be able to breathe.

I believe everyone of us would want to live a life that,at the last breath,we would smile and think that we've done our best and lived life to the fullest and time to move on to the afterlife...

Amelia,you'll be in my prayers.
