Location: Singapore

A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

A brotherly love never to be forgotten

Heart wrenching news, which made my tears roll each time I read an article about it.

Behind the sentence which will not allow him to ever see the sunshine again, is a brotherly love never to be forgotten.

Looking around, I sometimes wonder if humans do feel anything for one another. And if this world was just a cold, scary and superficial place to be in. I would ponder about how weak and brittle relationships between people are, and apart from unconditional parental love, is there something just as genuine which exists?

I was terribly saddened to hear that the poor 25 yr old will be hung in a few hours' time. Although he did a major fault, the risk he had to undertake and was willing to undertake just to save his brother touched me.

Hearing the reason to why he had to courier drugs, made me feel terribly ashamed of the kind of the ties my relatives have for one another. Family politics. I can't imagine these people calling themselves "Family" in the first place. For Nguyen's case, that is what I call "Family"..that's what I call "Love between siblings".

I know it's certain that this guy will not live past the hour set for his hanging, but somehow, I'm still praying for a miracle to happen.
