Today Singaporeans will mourn the death of Ms Lo Hwei Yen. She was one of the innocent people held hostage by the terrorists that laid seige to Mumbai.
Ms Lo Hwei Yen was probably a person who liked the same things as us. Grew up knowing the same places as us. Probably liked laksa. Probably enjoyed movies with friends at GV. She probably had friends, family members whom she loves. And she definately had dreams and ambitions.
She's only 28 this year. Just one year older than me. I still have so many dreams and aspirations unfulfilled. I'm sure she has too. I just felt so sad that her life had to be ended prematurely. I cannot imagine what the final moments of her life was. The fear. The helplessness. The injustice. And how ruthless her murderers were.
While I never believe that Singaporeans are immuned to terrorist attacks, this incident still drowned my mind with utter disbelief.

Nice weekend for Singapore people!!!
Now the whole world knows your age. Or at least the (ex/current) STC girls who come by here : P
Anyhow, life isn't exactly the most certain thing around so if she lived it to the fullest I can't say much because at least she made use of her time here, but if she didn't (I mean, who would expect to die every minute, right?) then I would say that this is another lesson in appreciating what Life has to offer. (:
