ATTRIBUTE TO DANIEL LIEW BOON HWA 1983-2008

Daniel Liew Boon Hwa 5th January 1983- 8th March 2008


“Hey! I know that we’ve gone through this many times but what’s your name again?” Danny would always ask me every time we chat with each other whenever it’s been a long time that we’ve not interacted.


Almost 4 years that we’ve been reintroducing ourselves online and finally the following years we became real good friends. I often wonder, why would someone bother to ‘reconnect’ with someone whom they always forgot their name and background. I guess that’s what true friendship is.


We would chat with each other late night while he was working on BST. We would talk about his interest in cars, anime, kdrama & kmovies, his life experience which included his love life, his aching kidney stone and his love ones (family and friends). With that he quoted:

Boys will always be boys (H)

i think youre the only girl that knows alot about me now ahhaha

Im glad to be the ONLY one -_-“

Sigh. Only God knows how I felt when I got to know when you left me in sorrow. That Saturday morning, 8th March 2008, we were chatting the whole morning till evening before you left to go drinking with your friends.


The next morning, I was waiting for more update stories from you but you didn’t show up. I was a bit worried and told myself that maybe you were too drunk to wake up that u slept in and hope that you’d be fine. So, I went to your Facebook and there I saw a post by your friend, Akin, posting a farewell for you.

How I was in denial and I thought that it was a bad joke. You didn’t turn up on Sunday and on Monday. I checked your Facebook on again on Tuesday and saw two more posts praying you’ll rest in peace. Oh dear GOD! I was scared. Coincidently, Masez was asking your real name on msn.


She had heard the news too but it took her a few minutes to break it to me when I was waiting for her to say it. When she finally said it and told me to wait on for confirmation if that Daniel Liew is you, tears started flowing and I knew that I didn’t have to wait for confirmation because I know that God loves you very much.


So, I decided to send a message to Akin on Facebook before going to class regarding your death. On the way to class, I just couldn’t believe you’re gone and I was trying my best to hold back the tears through out the class lecture and doing my group work at the library. As soon as I was done, I walked home so fast, and when I reached my floor on the way to my room, the tears wanted to flow.


I cried so hard, mourning for you was the only thing I could do alone. I read Akin’s reply affirming that it was true and that he told every thing he knew regarding your self-accident at Kota Batu on that Saturday night and that you couldn’t be saved after the operation. It was hard for me to swallow everything. We had so much laughter before you left.


I kept looking at your Facebook and your Friendster as many of your friends grieve for you. Masez tried to console me as well as Neeza but its hard enough for them to hear me like this. The next day I thought that I could go another day without crying but I can’t because you had given me a lot of memorable time.


Surz called me up and tried to talk to me and told me that you wouldn’t want me to mourn for you which painful made me guilty towards you. I’m sorry Danny but I just can’t seem let it go that easily but I’ll do my best to do it slowly.


Reading back our chat log on Saturday; I was so ever careless not to have read that you hinted that you were leaving us behind.

kalau ku dapat balik jua tu krg (If I’ll be able to return home”)

Daniel, you’ve been a great friend and outgoing person with hidden problems that you’d shared it with me and even to those who were close to you. You were a true friend for almost 7 years that I’ve NOT ever bump into before and here I am, waiting to return to Brunei to see your grave instead.

My girls miss you too and even THIS BANDITS! From Fighter’s Club were surprised that you left us.


To Daniel Liew Boon Hwa’s Family and friends, this is a blog dedicated to our beloved Danny. Condolences goes to each and every one of you who where close to his heart.


May you rest in peace and you’ll be forever remembered.

And this ones from me

“Though I’m missing you, I’ll find my way to get through, living without you, ‘cause you are my friend, my strength and my pride, only God may know why, still I will get by.”- Set it off OST

Daniel, I’m missing you each day and hope that you are in a safe and fun place to be. I’ll promise you that I’ll grow out of this sorrow. Although we had to plan to meet up but instead I’ll be seeing your grave, I’m still lucky to have known you. A life on earth is a place for us to explore but it is the soul that lives on for eternity.


Treasuring you as a life worth living and these tears flowing are tears of moments we spent with Daniel Liew.


Rest in Peace, forever remembered Daniel Liew Boon Hwa (1983-2008).
