Danny Liew 1983 - 2008
Our dear friend Daniel Liew passed away yesterday at 2.15am, due to a tragic car accident in Kota Batu. I was just as shocked as everyone else to hear of the news. I wasn't even aware that he was back home.. I may not have known him as long as I'd have liked, but I cry my tears all the same.
The thought that I won't hear his contagious everything-is-funny-even-though-it's-not-really laugh, or again experience his quirk of saying things wrong thinking they're right, or just seeing him out and about with Puppy.. the thought is very hard to swallow.
I've had to relay the news to some of our friends and it doesnt get any easier. I've had to repeat myself till I tire of it, and even then I still hear the disbelief in their voices.
Tons called to tell me the details and as painful as they were to hear, it's good to know what happened. I'm thankful she was there at the time and Danny wasn't alone.
We had many memorable (and hilarious) moments with Danny. But the one memory that keeps playing in my mind is when I first got to talk to him even though I barely knew him at the time. It was the day of Non's sanding and we were driving to his bride's house. Puppy was with one of the other girls so I had to ride with Dan. God knows what we talked about.. we hardly knew each other, but we managed it. We complained constantly of the heat. And I laughed my head off when Danny backed into a plastic chair while trying to park, and managed to break it.
I remember going to the beach and enduring the REALLY bumpy ride Puppy and Dan took me on. There was also the time I waited in the car while they checked out remote control cars. They dragged me on many an adventure, those boys.
I'm very grateful to have known such a sweet unassuming person, someone who would play along with anything and have our backs unconditionally.
My heart goes out to Danny's family, as well as his friends, but also especially to Puppy.
I know you loved him and I can't imagine him not being around either. When it finally hits you, I'll be here for you. Thank you for introducing him to the crew. We loved his company and I know the boys, specially Hil and Pol, are still talking about Danny and his fireworks. He's alot to live up to. =] Don't worry, we'll make that date to go visit him once you and Zrin are home. Be safe, I miss you and I wish you were here..
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends who knew him. I hope you heal and take comfort in knowing that Danny not only enjoyed life, he lived it to the fullest.
Dan, we shall miss you immensely but we know you're in a better place now. Like Zrin said, the roads won't be the same without you.. and Pip's message is "You did a DANNY". We know only a few will appreciate that, but especially you. =) Rest in peace and don't cause too much trouble where you are, right? We love you. xoxo
