God Bless Melissa Toh (Temasek Poly)

[365] 044Heard the news Melissa Toh from Temasek Poly ended her precious life. Life is a struggle. True. But struggle is just part of life.

Melissa Toh’s friends are shocked and very sad; Maryanne expressed her feeling on her blog,

My friend, Melissa Toh, took her life early on Wednesday morning. Leaving everyone shocked and grieving. I love her drawings, and I read her blog sometimes. I love her poems, and I liked the way she expresses herself not only through words but also through her drawings. Most people might term my relationship with her more of an acquaintance than a friend, but no. In my heart, Melissa was a friend.

I understand Melissa was very upset, but I can’t agree with anyone ending his/her life so easily. I know it might not be fair for me or anyone to judge her; she could go through tremendous pain and sadness. But, I believe there is difficulty in every part of life: school, marriage, family,…

How do you feel when you cook yourself a delicious dinner after careful preparation with heart? Not only delicious but “beautiful”. An old saying everyone knows, “no pain; no gain.” Sometimes we need to be strong to “fight” with life.

Think abou the less fortunate; some don’t even have the chance to fight with life. If you do, be strong. Talk out loud to your close friends or family to share
how you feel. They will be there for you; they will support you.

Shanebodwin. What makes you think you’re so important huh? Obviously your mother thought you were redundant since your name is so fucked up. She just couldn’t be bothered to name you properly. SHAME ON YOU SHANE.

A pretty girl dies and the whole internet post messages in rememberence of her. I wonder if people would do that if an ugly fat girl dies?

I think people don’t want “beautiful things to just go away”. It could be not only appearances but also other traits.

There are several questions to enquire from anyone here:

1. Was she fat?
2. Was she belittled by her friends because of her “fat” body?.
3. Was she having problems with her studies?
4 Did she pass her exams?
5 Was she having boyfriend and girfriend problems?
6 What happened to her in her final days of life?
7 Did she seek help in her final moment to suicide?
8 Had she had siblings?
9 Had she had parents?
10 Did she write any blog.. and where is it, please?

she wasn’t simply a “pretty girl”. she was beautiful both inside and out, making a difference in the lives of those around her. so Observer, don’t judge based on your biased opinions.

SHE KILLED HERSELF FOR HEAVEN SAKE! HOW COWARD IS THAT?! I DON’T CARE IF SHE’S PRETTY OR SMART, OR LOVING OR WAHATEVER. THE FACT THAT SHE KILLED HERSELF SHOWS WHAT KIND OF A PERSON SHE WAS. I AM SURE SHE WILL ROT IN HELL!

YOU GO HOME YOU FOOLISH INDIVIDUAL. HOW OLD ARE YOU? GO HOME LAH AND STOP WHINING ABOUT YOUR AMAZING IDEALS OF LIFE, IF YOU MAY. I AM SURE YOU WILL ROT IN HELL FOR YOU GENERAL FAILZORNESS AND ACTING “BRAVE” IN THE INTERNET. LETS ALL SWARM YOU EVERY DAY AND SEE IF YOU WANT TO DIE TO OR LIKE, JUST “STAY STRONG” AND NOT BE A COWARD. I EXPECT YOU TO BE UNABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT I HAVE JUST ENUNCIATED TO YOU, SEEING THAT U R SO SHALLOW. kthxbai

i would like to know

- how you determined what kind of person she was based on the lone fact that she killed herself
- how you know that my sister is rotting in hell (is there a direct number I can call?)
- and what the fuck is failzorness.

Thank you.

All we can do is praying and learn from her mistake and ensure others do not follow her chosen part! As hell is real! If God didn’t call that being home, then she is done for!

I am here after finding out about this person`s passing as i was visiting the church where her remains lay.I would like to convey my respects to her family even though i do not know her.But as i stepped through the halls where the remains are,Melissa was the first person I first noticed as i was actually heading to view the site where my grand uncle remains are.But I am here to tell you that i think from what i read above about Melissa she is a caring person and a wonderful friend.I believe as i stepped about to pass her she gave me the intention to see the date she unfortunately passed on and the date which she was born.As a shock it is to see a person so beautiful and about the same age as I am to pass on from this world.Why her life was taken we will never know the reason for sure.She has given me the realization of how short and sudden life can be.So i am here to say my respects to her and to all who posted unrelated respectful comments to shut up and not say what matters if a person is who or what they are.This is to pay respects and condolences not comment about fat or thin or what so ever.Once again to her family and friends and Melissa my condolences from the deepest of my heart.
