la idler

I just learned from Tomorrow.sg that La Idler, a former Tomorrow editor and one of the prominent local bloggers around has passed away from a rare blood disorder.

Her blog was one of those I used to read regularly (because she writes pretty well). A month ago, she mentioned (in what was to be her last post) that she might be having dengue, after which nothing has been heard from her again.

I didn't know who she was, but it feels weird knowing that someone whose life you were reading about, especially her plans to move overseas, is suddenly no longer around.
