Staff Nurse Mandy Sim Ling Man
(07/01/1984 - 08/11/2007) Dearest Mandy ,
I remember 3 horrid Thursdays ago at around this time , I was at our workplace's A&E with some other gals from the ward , looking at you lying on the trolley with disbelief & tears & lotsa heartache . You were still beautiful (U ALWAYS WILL BE) and you looked like you were sleeping , but the saddest fact is that U've left us forever . :'(
It's very very hard to accept tat U're gone , U know ? Juz like tat . Especially when I juz saw U on that week's Monday nite (2 nites before the tragic RTA), after our PM shift . U were getting ready to board your boyfren's bike , and as usual , we made childish digs at one another . :) I wish I had stayed on to chat longer with you , or juz irritate U more , but we were all tired and wanted to get home faster . And I'll forever remember & treasure in my heart the last goodbye wave you gave me , when you and your boyfren rode past me on the stretch of road outside A&E . Thank you so much for bothering to turn back your lovely face & give me that cool wave wif your cheeky smile . Now when I think of it , it's as though U knew somehow that I'll never get to see U again , hence the final goodbye . :'(
I'll also forever cherish the few brief moments we had together . At the silly SBAR talk , where we were talking shit and about your future plans after your bond , instead of listening to the trainers . :) And how U 'garang-ly' said both of us quickly volunteer to present the case-study , so as to get over and done with it . U were cartoon as usual lar . And sorry I lost U after the talk as I had to get back to my ward quickly . I didn't even say goodbye or realise till much later . :( Paiseh .
You were just a little girl . U had your very sweet moments , amidst your 'ah-lian-ness' . :) Very manja sometimes but not those irritating type . :) U had a tough and cool exterior , but actually U had lotsa sensible plans and aspirations that put me and lotsa others to shame . Really lor , very impressed with the way U had mapped out your life , but alas , all was not meant to be . :'( Will always remember how U messaged me after my transfer , to voice your worries on whether U'll be a good nurse & I told U U'd definitely be . And also , U left me a testimonial in my Friendster account last year , saying U missed having me around in the ward and wished I was back . I was , U know ? The week after U left us forever , I was back for 1 week to help out , but U were not there anymore . :'( I really wish I dun ever have the chance to go back , if that can exchange for your well-being .:'(
I'm juz glad to have known U this life , Mandy . Even though we didn't know each other very well or worked together for long , I'm truely thankful for your friendship . I hope you're happy and relieved from all sufferings over the other side . I know U'll be watching over all of us from the skies and I want U to know that U're dearly missed . :'(
Rest in Peace my friend .....
