Trackback from Tinker, Tailor: Idle Days:

Sondra, who blogged at Idle Days, has passed.

Words fail me....

Trackback from La Idler:

Most importantly, I will miss my family and friends. I will miss the food, possibly shopping and above all, Singlish. I will miss my cat, the familiar smells of Singapore, the familiar sight of the lunchtime crowd in the CBD…. so many things!...

Although I'm not acquainted with her, I remembered that she actually had plans to leave Singapore, so this is another farewell in a different (but maybe not so different) context.

Nothing so underlines the tragedy of a life struck down in its prime, as the fact that she had plans for the future.
