Goodbye Chiq. 6/5/2007
Yesterday, I said goodbye to Valerie, better known in the local blogosphere as Chiq. She chose to end her life, and find out what is in the Great Beyond. She struggled with her inner demons for as long as I had known her, which was all too brief a period of time.
She loved her Macs, her iPods, her food, and her friends. She had a bloody irritating way of saying “so cute!”, and learned never to ride in the truck wearing a tight, short skirt. She enjoyed meeting up with her friends. She was a fairly smart person, although she choose to show this ditzy blonde act to the world.
Thanks for leaving us to pick up the pieces though. I may not ever forgive you for that.
Farewell and godspeed, and may you find your rest and peace of mind which eluded you on this mortal coil.

every one has their own demons. it’s sad to hear that people let the worse get a hold of what they chose to do to their lives. loneliness, depression, lack of confidence, abuse of one thing or another…etc, whatever it is, all of us have it. and yet….sigh….
yes, goodbye chiq as well! hope her life on the other side is way better and the act was worth it.
I can’t forgive her either.
May time bring the healing for those left behind.
My sympathies.
Sadings me anytime I see something like this,when family & friends are hurt the most.My heart goes out to all those sincerly taken by Valeries decision.GodSpeed Valerie..prayers have been said…
damn! There’s just been too f###ing much death around us lately.
RIP..
Never say never, Snark. People sometimes don’t think enough about what they do, and sometimes they think too much. Remember the good things, and remember the lessons.
But, never say never. That’s a real long time for somebody that you consider a friend.
I know her brother, Alex. Studied in the same school, he’s my senior one year.
Hmmm… Life seems so fragile..
Take some time off and go for a ride. A long one.
Its correct to never say never. Life is fragile and so is our mind. Each of us carry a different rationale and tolerance towards things and happenings. Valerie has her own. We can only respect her decision and support those who grief and pain after her demise.
God bless
we carpooled to college for a semester… I went to the same place her brother learnt guitar for a while… we used to hang out and listen to music and have coffee… and cakes….
I didn’t know about her demise till today, when i suddenly thought about her… but it’s too late to say hi, or even goodbye.
Sigh. Why Val why?
But I hope you’ve found your peace. I’ll always remember the day I drove your aunt’s car with the handbrakes all the way down from Uptown back to Sri Petaling.
I thought suicides don’t make it to heaven?
