A new year - 2007

Today is the 3rd of January 2007 - my first day at work for this year - after a long holiday - since I started my annual leave from the 23rd December up to today :p

I had problem waking up this morning - felt like staying at home but then ... thinking that it is not a good way to start a new year so I managed to force myself to stay awake. But now, at 12.45 pm I realised why I felt so shitty this morning. My colleague at work aka my best friend, Jann just texted me on the phone - telling me that a student of ours had passed away. It was said that the deceased fell from her apartment. Jann is still at the hospital awaiting for the post mortem with the other Students' Affair officers from our university. What a sad thing because I knew the deceased personally. She was one of the brightest girl I have ever taught. She should not have gone this way - too soon, too young, too abrupt - I can barely accept the fact that she is no longer with us.The last time I saw her, she was still the fun & easy going bright girl I knew. I did not know that was the last time I would ever talk to her ... It is a tragedy to lose her so soon.

Syareena, my prayers are with you, Dear. I cherished all the good moments that you have shared with us and may Allah bless you.

Al-fatihah.
