At around 8:30am on 6 April 2009, the music industry lost a beautiful voice. Although she was not really famous but her songs are still being spread around even up till today.
She first made her debut in 2003. After her song 叶子 (leaves) was used in the drama 《蔷薇之恋》(The Rose), she was given the named as 'Healing Singer' because of her soothing voice. After that she released two albums. Unfortunately the songs were famous but the albums did not really sell.
In this 4 years or so, there were not much news about her. Everyone thought that she had moved off to China to develop her career however during this period she was diagnosed with cancer and had been undergoing chemotheraphy.
All these while she kept mum about it and even hid the news from her colleagues. Only those who were really close with her knew about it. Even at her death bed she still strongly believed that all the pain will pass through and she would be able to recover.
I guess the really sad thing would be not being able to make her dream to get married this year come true. Finding a true love is not easy and when she finally found someone fate decides to bring her away.
I spent some time just now to look at the blog of Z Chen 张智成 and Sophia of JS. Just reading their posts it already brought tears to my eyes.
For the whole day since I heard of the news, 叶子 had been playing on my player. When I first heard this song I fell in love with it. Every line of the lyrics just brought me closer to the song. Although the singer is already gone but I know for sure that this song will always and forever be my favourite.
Life is really unpredictable, we never know what will happen next so it is always good to treasure everyone beside you.
Life and death seemed to be surrounding frequently lately.
Just on 30 March, a promotions personnel, Peter of HIM Taiwan passed away due to heart failure. I had only saw him once but it still make me cry and think a lot when reading the messages everyone left for him on the forum and of course the blog posts of those close to him.
I know how emotional I can get so I should stop looking at things that will make me sad. However it is easier said than done. Since I sat down in front of my home PC I had been surfing for news about this new lost and rewatching the memorial of another artiste, Beatrice Hsu 许玮伦 who had passed away in an accident two years ago.
No matter how much we say now, we will never be able to bring them back but I still feel the need to tell them how much we love them because I am sure they can still feel it even though when they are up there.
阿桑，一路好走。希望你在天堂可以继续开心的唱歌。你最美丽的歌声会继续在我们的身边围绕着。

Since I already started on this post, please allow me to drop another few notes to those who are already not by our side.
Peter, 虽然和你只有一面之缘但我相信你一定是一个很棒的人。希望你在天上可以开开心心的。
玮伦，虽然你离开已经两年了，但再次看见你的光芒音乐会我还是不禁伤心难过起来了。我相信到现在所有喜欢你的朋友都仍然记得你那天使般的笑容。记得要在天上继续微笑，让所有关心你的人每一天都能快乐。
Darrel, don't know why I suddenly miss you a lot. It had been a year plus since you left us but until now trust me, all of us still misses you a lot. Everytime I saw your name and number in my mobile I really got the urge to make a call. But I know no matter what no one will answer that call. The idea of deleting that contact had ever crossed my mind but no matter how hard I try I just can't press the button to do so. Hope you have been happy up there. All of us still misses you very much and do appear in our dreams once in a while okay? We really wish to see you and know how you are. Always have that angelic smile my dear friend and be happy........
This post is really heavy but well it covers what I have been feeling recently. Hope that all the unhappy moments will pass soon and the skies will be clear once again.....
