Of Peace and Rest

NTU student stabs professor and falls off building.. He was a loner.. He had his ASEAN scholarship terminated... He plays online games... His family did not have problems financing his studies..

I admit i was one of the first to comment that this fellow is a nutcase when i first heard news about his stabbing of his professor, sliting of his wrist and then jumping(of falling) off the building in NTU..

as the days went by, i hear of news reports about how he was, how he fared in school and all of this news just paint him in such a negative light that is sickening.. its sickening that someone as young as 21 with a decent future has been pushed to an end where he had armed himself with a kitchen knife in his professor's office and he had to slit his wrist before jumping to really make sure that that would be all..  its more sickening how the local mainstream media is throwing news around to make NTU seem like a godly place it which this student did not belong, as though he was not really part of them in the first place..

what good would it do for his family on knowing that 3 warning letters were sent by NTU? Its just bullshit and why the hell did the reporter had to cover this? That financial problem was no

the reason? That poor result in school was the reason? 

I'm so sick of all this crap from our newspapers and mainstream shit.. 

Solace, i found online

The unfortunate central character has a name, David Widjaja. Online, he has a moniker like i do, he used the name "Manji" in his online multiplayer games.. people who have played with him or "met" him online painted a very different picture of David:

He was such an awesome friend really smart and funny. I known him a long time now and we have spent so much time together. He really did have such a nice personality. He stood for what was right he defended players and his personality have shined through. Even though this game is online I saw his real personality by the way he talked and joked around. I am going to miss him a lot and I am going to pray for him. I feel regret that I didn't talk to him about his problems and tried to help him. Last time I talked to him he was having a friendly match with Maka and asked me if I wanted to duel with him. I wish I could have spent my time to talk to him better and get in a core of his problem because now he is gone and it will not be the same without him. He was a big part of this game to all of us a really loved player. I will never forget him and he will always stay in our soul. We miss and love you David (By Mystica)

Majin, thanks for everything... you help me in many ways especially when i don't know how to attend a wedding... thank you for helping me... i promised to invite you also in my wedding, but now i do not know how to accomplish my promise to you....

i lost a friend that i cannot return... your memories will always stay in my  mind and in my heart.. thank you very much majin (david).. (By jaslyn000)

really don't have any words to write about it, I was with him on saturday, me, light and ringles were playing around at arena, he took a pic of us and now......!! Everyone who knows me well, knows I get a kind of connection to the people too much easily. We talked too much and much more lately. Once, we were talking about universities and how hard is to get good grades and he told me he didnt know why he had chosen this course, he didnt know if he would finish this, so i said, wait a minute, this is your last year, you need to do that and u will do it well, don't worry. He just told me " I hope so". I didn't realize it was more than that. I'm feeling so unuseful cause I think maybe i could say something else, or try to go deeply into his problems. I had terrible nightmares last night, i couldnt sleep well, I'm just shocked, it was so unfair and kinda selfish from him , for dont think about his family and friends doing such nonsense thing 'cause a lot of people  now are suffering, but i wasnt in his soul that time, dont know what was going on his mind, the only thing i know is the world just lost a such great and intelligent person, a good friend and a young person who had a lot of things to do in his life, I'm really sad, im really confuse and dont know what to think .. Jolene, you are very important for him and his predilet subject. I know Im going to miss David too much!! Im praying for his soul and to calm down his family's heart. Rest in peace my friend!! Sorry if i sound nonsense too but im feeling like this, inexplicable!! =(
