The pain in our hearts.

Thousands of people filter in and out of our lives daily: most forgettable, many become our friends, but only a few capture a special place in our hearts like our dearest, sweetest friend Lena.

I got to know Lena when I entered Sheares Hall 2 years ago. I remember the first time I noticed her: it was at the new Block Head elections..first thought I had when I saw her: "Woah hot babe. hooray for hall life :)" Yes yes I am a superficial piece of shit. Still remember she had her hair layered in some funny way..don't know if the rest of you guys remember?

Subsequently I got to know her better through hall activities, as well as the many conversations we had. She was always cheerful and had the most unique sense of humour. Half the time I wouldn't know that she was joking, and always believed all the nonsense she gleefully fed me..she was merciless in that aspect. We even came up with a system for ourselves: Every alternate day we would take turns to shamelessly praise each other, she would get the odd days and I the even days. This never failed to bring a smile to my face, no matter how shitty the day was. She had one of the sweetest mouths ever since the time dinosaurs roamed the earth. =P

The most amazing thing about Lena had to be her humility. Never have I seen someone play down their own acheivements so much. It was only after half a year before I found out about her achievements both in SNGS and HCJC..after that I was always slightly intimidated by her...haha. Took me a while to take in the fact that this fun, goofy, somewhat bimbotic girl I knew was an esteemed leader and established sportswoman. Don't think I ever did recover from that. haha!

Life is never fair, and the way our dearest sweetest Lena was snatched away from life can best be described in 2 words: fucked up. Knowing her though, if she could she would probably be scolding us all for being so upset. Dearest, Sweetest Lena. =) You may not physically be with us anymore, but you still live on in all our hearts. It is still hard to accept that we won't be able to see you smile, and to hear your cackling laughter or your kind words again..truely it is. Don't worry though, we'll be ok. We will stay strong so don't you fret!

Missing you always my dearest friend.. =)
