boon's log 0410.02: Remembering SooLeong

SooLeong [1981 - 2010]

Last Friday marked another "black-day" for our family, when IL's cousin passed away - SooLeong left us at the young age of 29, after battling with cancer for almost 4 years. Many hypothesized about how his condition deteriorated, but they only remain as hypothesis. According to the doctors, it was a relapse and during the second cource of his chemotheraphy, his body finally succumbed to a series of viral attacks, and that was when he breathed his last.

His health degraded rather exponentially towards the end of his life. He was only admitted into the hospital for less than a week - i.e. after doctors observed swelling in his abdomen area, and extracted the liquid for further examination.

Many considered his leaving as rather untimely and "could have been avoided" or "prolonged". Our prayers go out to SooLeong's close family members and friends during this time of mourning - our hearts go out to them.

SooLeong leaves behind his wife, Ching, and their 6-month old son; his parents, sister and brother.

boon out...
