i was reading the new paper just now when i got home. There was one news reporting on the murder of two singaporean undergraduates in sydney about a year or two ago. i could not really recall when was that but what i am interested is to know who has killed my friend.

Chow Lyang was my ex-colleague in tt. We started out as "phone operators" helping users to troubleshoot problems encountered in their internet connections. At that point of time, he has just graduated from school and was planning to study overseas. Although he was only with tt for 4 months or less, i could remember him very well. He is always a mild tempered gentelmen with calm composure and always helping others out with their problems. I remember there was a time when i was hooked on Robert Jordan's series of Fantasy novels, he was my supplier coz he happened to have the entire set at home and we were reading the same series at the same time. So while waiting for phone calls, we were busy "competing" who could "tahan" the long winded author's work and progressed to the next book ahead of each other. He was also one of the few guy friend whom i know who likes to melt his cheese for his sandwich. No matter how hungry he was, he would still wait for the melted cheese in the microwave. that's him. i still remember he commented that it worth all the waiting if the food taste good and u are satisfied. In addition, he really dotes on his gf too lor. He always praise her in front of us and blah blah blah. Though i have never met his gf, i hope she is doing fine now after losing her loved one.

Reading the news report and to find that one of my long lost contact friend was murdered, was indeed very shocking. A few of us, like victor and sim hor called one another to confirm that we recognised the correct person. The name fits the face we knew and the spelling for his name was unqiue, so it was not a mistake.

I wonder why the murder has to kill them and they are now putting their flatmate on trial. He and his friend were killed so brutally and the saddest thing was to know that there could be a possibility that a fellow singaporean may have killed them. i wonder what had happened for him to take such a drastic move. Anyway, the investigation is still ongoing, hopefully , we know the reasons soon.
