In Remembrance of Ooki(Mandy)

In Remembrance of Ooki(Mandy)

12:30am (Australian Time) on 24 July 2008

I first chatted with her back in the summer of 97 when i was in malaysia. she used the irc nick of ooki and i've always remembered her as ooki sakuragi. (blame it on the slam dunk anime)

I remember that she was a vibrant, and cheeky girl and also a very tall girl ( IRC = image swapping = a/s/l) hehe.
methinks she used to go to the undernet irc servers and hung out at #miri. or #mamak
but i forget the details.
After the IRC fever slowly edged away, we grew up. i guess. IRC was a thing of the past.

We caught up again i think about few years ago when i think i came across her blog or something via something..
and i STILL can't remember. (i must be starting to forget stuffs)
then i got her msn then we chatted then google.
Her life was a journey of interesting sorts. i heard about her travels, her love for the canon d, and anime bokura ga ita and kenshin.
she wanted to go nepal and china and trek back to nature thing.

When chatting with her
every thursday when we were chatting halfway she would say she had to go because her brother was coming over for dinner.
and every night when she needs to go to shower.. she would forget to reply me and i would be thinking that oh .. she went to bed without saying goodnight. lol.

After so long of being friends i've still never met her..
now i never will.

in an email i've received from her brother

In the meantime, I would like leave a quote that Mandy prepared for all of you,
"As you love me, let there be no mourning when I go…
As we shall be happy for the dead are free… and I'm free…"


I'm saddened by the fact the world has lost a great girl and I have lost a good friend.

I'm truly grateful to have met and know such a friend as her.

May she rest in peace.

i hate my kindle

- reason being i can't put it down when i start a book. and it doesn't make it any better that i can put so many books in there.. OMG.. i can just continue reading.. so far i've used the kindle for like 2 weeks ? or maybe a week.. since i hate it.. i'll say only the bad things i can find about it.. 1. erm.. when eating do not read. - makes it hard to wipe the oil stains off. nothing a cloth wouldn't wipe away. or maybe the hem of your shirt. 2. to jump flip the pages is a little hard. it's made for sequential reading. 3. dictionary is a little hard to use.. it doesn't let you highlight the word and checks it in the dictionary. 4. collections.. i have a few books which i loaded on it. but to actually navigate through them takes some time as i can't seem to organise my books via any book management tool. meaning they can't group the books by folder. kindle just shows everything in one big list. 5. it looks so cool that most of the time when i am readin...

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...
