Aunty Vera, Vicky and me was at your niche. It seem that is only yesterday that you left us....! We miss you so much. I remember when we both were in Thailand, Bkk ...those were happy times. The pain of losing you still persist....! I wish we are together !

Now & then I think of you, always thinking of the day when you were young did not realise that I will miss you, hope you are happy where you are now……………. Your Brother Richard Chak

Diane Is always with US ! We both know.You came to us to our dreams in a week. We still remember how u look, your smile, your hair cut & your words to me & joon's DREAM " are the same " & will never change. You are still so sweet even in our dreams. We both strongly believed that it was u who came to us. We know your all love for us. Thanks God for arranging you to be our friend in this life. We Thank You for being part of our life. Now tat you're not with us in Life But we believe we will meet one day.... We LOVE You..... Till We meet again....(Alvin/Joon)

I think of you every now and then, and I miss you so much!

Diane is a beautiful gentle person. She is always caring and helpful to all. I love you Diane and missed you dearly. Wish I have share more and given you more as a sister. Love Judy

Miss you so much....... is One year ten months ... come this Feb you left us almost 2 years. The feelings still feel very raw and still feels like yesterday. I missed you so much. Somethimes I wish you are here but I know you are with Mom and Dad, a better place. They both loved you so much too. You gotta know that.

It is almost one year to the day that Diane passed away. I still often wonder, where is she now? Is she in a better place, and is she happy or sad? Does she know of those she left behind who still miss her, love her and think of her? It’s a terrible injustice, a wrong that cannot be righted. I often visit her niche at the All Saints Chapel just to tell her that I miss her and that I think of her still. This is something that will not change for the rest of my days. Grateful thanks to Fang Fang, Keralyn and all the others who have come forward to share their memories and photos of Diane, and I still hope that the others will also come forward to share their memories on this site. Let’s not forget her, ever…

I am still so angry about what had happened. I'm angry about who might have caused your death. Sometimes I blame you. Such a graceful and beautiful person who left us without anymore physical contact. Just lots of questions wondering who took you away, "Who"? "Why"?, "Who"? As teenagers, we played and laughed and talked all day, everyday. That was in the 80's when we all wanted to be Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. We wanted to disco every weekend even we're still a little under age. You always ordered Gin n' tonic or Vodka Lime. You always know how to dress, and you always look good. You're always so generous too. I still have the party pictures of us wearing what we've borrowed from you and your sisters, Judy and Keral. So sweet like you. At that age, we talked mostly about boys and love(we thought we know it all). I wished we're still silly like that. That was so simple. For the past twenty years, our friendship had not changed. Our lives seemed more complex. There are times we still can't break through the boy/girl relationship dilema, the stress of our dying parent, issues of money and our career. But what make us any different than other people? We just need to live longer to face them. Your relief is my grief, Diane. I have no choice but to grieve. Really miss you!

Sad to know that you have left us. Although we first known in an online game and you by the name Dini and we by the name Darklordzen and Darkangel but we seems to get along very well like old friends. We were expected to have met 1 year before you left and never had thought that was the last and only chance that we were given to meet you. Cheerful and joyful are the words that make us remember you always. You were never dishearted and willing to bear and face problems right in front of you. You have shown us friendship that none others we knew can offer. With you around, all troubles seems to have gone. Friendship...........Our last good friend have left us, leaving us living in shame the moment we remember how much you've helped us both gone through our worst moment. And we can never ever able to return you the favour that we've owned. I always thinking of taking a chance to thank you after 1 year when our situation were better and stable but that moment will never come. Friendship...........We did our best to seach through internet/ newspapers/ friends/ your workplace/ ceremteries and even called any place we can thought of 1 by 1 to find your resting place to pay our respect to you. But Diane isn't the world around you can make you stay? Do you have to resolve to that? You can always come to us as you're most welcome to share your pains and sorrows with us. My wife and i will always remember you as our best friend that always share her joy and happyness with us. Rest In Peace.

If you want to contact me you can reach me on mobile +65 966 966 82 or email me keralyn.chak@gmail.com

Get to know her thru online game. Althrough it is not a very long time, but she is a girl who you will want as a good friend. Only get to know her demise on Christmas. Was very sad and couldn't accept that she had leave us. She was such a nice, sweet, gentle and beautiful girl. Have been trying to get her information, but to no avail. But just kept trying, until I got this web. Just recently on her birthday, sms her to wish her Happy Birthday, never knew that she is no longer with us. Even on the road, will be keeping a lookout for her car. Had also sms her several time this year, but she didn't reply, and we thought she was too busy. On this year 26th Jan, we had arranged for a meet up, but miss each another as we went to difference location. We say to meet some other time. But it is just after 3 week and she is gone. So in short, do cherish and love each another. Rest In Peace Diane

Only know of her demise on Christmas, was very sad and can't really accept this. She was such a nice, sweet and beautiful girl. Sometime on the road, will keep a look out for her car 6904, but didn't know she was no longer with us. Just sms her and wished her Happy birthday on dec. But she is no longer with us. RIP Diane, you'll always be in our heart.

I did not know about Diane till three days ago, after 6 months of her departure, still devastated and shocked. I grew up with Diane during the most important period of our lives, as teenagers and merging into adult hoods. Of course we had shared a blast of good times. She is a person with almost all answers, always with remedy and solutions. For the past few days, I was still not accepting reality. I wish she is still here with us. A great friend greatly missed. Rest in peace, Diane.

Fang Fang , I am so sorry I did want to contact you to let you know but immediately after her death I was in devasted , greiving and still having to take care of my dying father. My dad pass away after Diane on april 10. so its really been very very challenging for me. How can i contact you on email, facebook or telephone ? I miss my sister so much. to date I still feel pain. Pls do keep in touch. Diane was very fond of you and she always talk about you.

Friends can you all share your happy moments with Diane with me please. It will help me. Right now I cannot remember the good times I had with her when she is adult. Somehow my memories default to when we were both kids and up to teenage years. Perhaps the suddenness of her death is still a shock to me. And somehow I brain is blocking some memories of my dear sister Diane! I miss her so much and long for her to be here. I also wished that she will talk to me again.

Friends, relatives love ones who wants to visit Diane's niche pls go to All Saints Chapel is BLK 3A level 2 as you enter turn left is on the top most number 147, is cover by blank marble at this time as the inscriptions is done in Italy and not ready yet.

I wished that she is here and that I can talk to her. The niche is at No.5 POH HUAT ROAD is at upper serangoon best to check the map. I am planning to visit her niche this Saturday March 15th.

Memorial Service on 6th FEB 2010 at ALL SAINTS CHAPEL, Poh Huat Road, SIngapore coming up. For all of Diane's friends I hope to see you all there. I

肥皂diane, 我们都这样叫你。。。 永远记得你驾马赛地的英姿， 香车美人只有你配这样被称呼， 永别了美女

DINI was the name I know her as. DINI and I were ON-9 games friends. I didn't actually got the chance to meet her face-to-face but in the smallest characters in a game, I can see the biggest heart in it. She was really a caring & true friend. Rest in peace my dear friend.

So sorry Dini... i feel so sorry. but maybe now you can Rest In Peace.. Hope you are in a better and beautiful place

We all gathered at the Mandai Crematorium on a beautiful sunny day to see Diane off on her final journey from this world. It was a quiet and serene setting for this somber and sad occasion. Pastor Daniel led off with an earnest and sensitive sermon that gave comfort to her family and friends. For this and also for the services held during the wake, we are grateful to him. Following that, her sister Keralyn and brother Richard came up to give short eulogies, and the final person to come up and speak was her close friend Angela. Their grief was plain to see and it was noticeably hard for them to speak at all without breaking down. As these things progressed, a spontaneous sense of deep sadness fell upon this small assembly of friends and family, and many of us were overwhelmed and unable to control our tears from flowing. Over the last few days, I had been surprised by the intensity of my own feelings and it happened once again at the funeral. It was hard to compose oneself and avoid making a public spectacle, and I am not a man who sheds tears easily. But I can say that I have seldom attended a funeral where so many tears were shed, which was unique and touching at the same time. I suppose it is a little different when someone so young and vibrant is suddenly cut down in the prime of life, as opposed to the usual situation where the person has lived to a ripe old age, and may perhaps had to battle illness or disease for some time at the end too. In the latter, it is a kind of relief for the person from a life of suffering, which mitigates the grief that is felt. In cases like Diane’s, it is simply a pure tragedy which leaves us fumbling to find any positives about the death. A short ceremony, a strong outpouring of grief and then it was over. I exchanged some with words with Judy, Diane’s eldest sister and then we dispersed and went our separate ways. I drove to the Yong Tau Foo store at Upper Thomson Road and was pleasantly surprised to run into Diane’s buddies Jessie, Desmond, Doreen, Kelly and Jennifer who had also come from the funeral. I joined them for a meal, though none of us had much of an appetite. Told them about the big Toto draw happening later tonight, and then we all went off to buy some Toto tickets before going on our ways. If life is a lottery of sorts, then perhaps we have no choice but to play on… And that was how this morning of 21 Feb, the funeral day of Diane Chak, was concluded.

I got to know Diane back in the last millennium when we were colleagues. Most of our early interactions were spent smoking in the stairwell of our workplace office. Later our friendship deepened into something a lot more, and there were many happy times we spent together over the next three years or so. There have been many a time when I still think back to those happier days with Diane. Diane was an extraordinarily beautiful girl, but beyond that she was also a person of uncommon warmth, kindness and gentleness. This was shown again in the recent years when she took to taking care of her ailing father, and also in her care and concern for her siblings as well as her recently departed cat, Luca. She had quite a few tough hurdles and difficult times to negotiate in her life. It would have been easy for her to buckle under the many pressures and disappointments, to have become bitter or cynical, but instead she never lost her innate optimism and sweet disposition. In recent years, she had started to re-build her life and career and looked set to start a triumphant new chapter in her life. The sudden and mysterious nature of her death will forever be a perplexing and haunting tragedy. It seems much too brutal an end for a creature of such gentleness and kindness. What is known is that she fell from her 4th floor apartment on 13 Feb 2008 and succumbed to her injuries without regaining consciousness subsequently. It seems rather too senseless an end to one so young. I had contacted Diane recently, and we had planned to meet up to catch up soon. I was very much looking forward to that, but now it will never happen. But then, none of us will ever get the chance to have a last chat or meal with Diane, or to even say goodbye to her properly. When someone has departed, all our best wishes, prayers and even deep affection, for that person, seem powerless to help them even one iota. Perhaps this is a reminder to be kind to people while they are still here, and not assume that we will always have the chance to do it later. Sometimes, we are not given another chance to do so at all. I do have some regrets for not doing the right thing by her in the past. For not being kinder, stronger or trying harder, for all of those things and more. Perhaps some of you may also share the same regrets too… Those of us that were in a position to take care of her should have done it better or done more when we had the chance to do so. Instead we might have contributed further to the trials and tribulations of her life. For now, we will never get the chance to redress these things with Diane. One can only hope that she will forgive us for these shortcomings. Inevitably, we will all get swept back into the concerns and pressures of everyday living. But let us forever keep in our hearts our prayers and abiding affection for Diane and trust that we will meet her again one day… Yes, then we will laugh and play all day, and the sun will rise again into the sky. I hope all the friends and family of Diane will come forth to contribute their memories and photos of her to this site. It seems like this is the only thing we can do for her now.
