Remember Our Best Friend - Cecilia

A deeply sad news received that our best friend Cecilia (Ceci) passed away on the morning on 9^th July 2024. Ceci is very lively, cheerful, optimistic and perseverant girl we know. She is my wife best friend (閨蜜) and I met Ceci when I was dating Minda. Minda and I would like to express our sincere condolences to Ceci’s family, friends and colleagues.

In the morning, Minda wrote a message to inform all friends of Ceci. As knowing Ceci situation, Minda went to Australia with Ceci two sisters two weeks before.

Let's remember past events. In July 2006, Minda and Ceci visited Japan with their old colleagues.

Minda and I then decided to get married in Austria at the end of 2006 and Ceci arranged it for us. We went to Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania. We took a photo at Sydney Olympic Park.

Take a ship ride to see the prison and play in the water on the way on 21 July 2006.

At our wedding, we took a photo with Ceci and her boyfriend.

We also took a photo outside the church park.

During our wedding holiday we visited different places including the train museum.

In Tasmania, we watch fireflies in the cave.

In 2009, Ceci come back Hong Kong and had lunch with Minda.

In 2017, Ceci visited Ocean Park with Minda and her parents.

Before COVID hit, we had a Japanese lunch with Ceci in Hong Kong on 4 Jan 2020.

After three years of COVID, we met again, visited a traditional Chinese market, and then had a Japanese dinner together on 24 May 2023.

Very good seafood

On 26 May 2023, we visited the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and met Ceci and her family again.

Ceci’s mother and sister were joined together. 

Minda and Ceci took a photo inside the memorial hall.

The last time we met together is on 17 Nov 2023. I led Ceci and Ms. Huang to visit the gallery in CityU.

After that we had a dinner in CityU Faculty Lounge. 

At the end, we took a group photo in front of CityU main entry.

Always remember Ceci and our friendship. Rest In Peace.
