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.

Don't mean to be nosy but I can't help visiting and revisiting her blog.. and wonder if her friends felt like I do now. What you wrote was fantastic. Cheers, Florence (Perth, Australia)

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
