..Zion..

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

I was searching some photos of 'teluk intan' from google and I saw your photo..You look very familiar to me and I clicked it. After reading the first paragraph, I sensed that something went wrong.. It started with remembered, selfless act, tragedy, fateful event, rescue team still had not found his body!

I was shocked, my mind was blank, I wasn't thinking and I grabbed Ben's hand.

"Honey, I am not concentrating.. he.. passed away?"

I just couldn't believe what I was reading and I clicked on the cross button on the upper top right. It took me 2 days to come online again to search for your news. Yes, something happened to our dear friend in Moreton Island, Queensland last December.

Zion, I sent you a message long ago when I saw your photos at Friendster but did not receive any reply. I think you probably don't remember me, the one you sent a Chinese New Year Card to in year 2000, teluk intan. But I remember you, the one who suggested to exchanged emails and gave me your mailing address ( some address of a palm plantation) before I came to Singapore. I never expect to say Hi again this way...

In your devotional diary


“I believe I am born for greater thing” than merely getting a job and earning a living

and the next thing..

"THE family of a Malaysian-born man missing off Moreton Island yesterday spoke of their pride in their son's heroic final actions as hopes of finding him alive all but evaporated.

Zion Kerk, 25, was last seen assisting a young Korean woman in Honeymoon Bay on the northern tip of the island at 3.40pm on Wednesday."


Shame on me to learn about this after a good five months. Because I didn't log in to my friendster to read those bulletin or I am not socialise enough? Whatever it is, I've decided to delete my profile from Friendster as I really see no reasons of having one. Everyone knows it is meant to be a 'friends connection' thingy. I do have lots of 'friends' added into my list but so what? I can see my very best buddy( from convent) visiting singapore but never even bother to ring me for meet up, not only one but at least 3 of them! At the same time, seeing almost everyone met up for gathering on special occasions and I honestly felt left out. I am not whining or pointing fingers. I know that's because I'm no longer travelling back to ti or maybe I forgot to send birthday wishes. Whatever..
