Alvin Chng
I've never really bought into a lot of these 'memorial' threads on the Planetarion Forums. They always seemed trite and unfitting to remember people who we'd just met over the internet playing a stupid game. Any avenue for remembrance with a cookie monster smiley glaring at the right of your screen is hardly fitting.
That said, a friend of mine and a friend of many of yours passed away this evening. Alvin Chng, who went by the alias h3ll, succumbed to a battle with Muscular Dystrophy after several years of struggle. He'd kept his illness to himself, not wanting to discuss something of such personal burden.
We were informed that his condition had deteriorated through a conversation with his brother and learned that Alvin was admitted to the hospital in Malaysia yesterday. He did not make it through the night.
Despite my remarks above, I figured it best to pass this information on to any and all of you who had the pleasure of playing with h3ll and talking to Alvin.
If you're interested in sending condolences to the family, please let someone in #newdawn know and we'll pass it along.
Thanks.
(edit: Apophis put this memorial up. If that's how you'd like to reflect, feel free. If there's any other way we can help express condolences, let us know and we'll try to help.)

I've been around h3ll for a while - mostly in ND and irc channels we shared for PA, Eve and WoW and I'll miss him a lot. Great guy, may he rest in peace.

Re: Alvin Chng
when i first rejoined pa back in the beta just before r11, i had no idea of course about all the game changes; i randomed into a galaxy with h3ll, spritfire and fish, that was the main time i ever really talked to him and he was very sincere with me. sincerity is rare, that will be missed.

Re: Alvin Chng
I only ever spoke to him directly once, and it was fairly briefly. But I've been around him and involved in conversations with him for the past month or so now, he was a decent guy and I'm sorry he's no longer with us.
I've never really bought into these kinda posts either, but when you know them it's actually a lot harder not to be touched by them... especially when its somebody who's such an integral part of the community.
Condolences to the family, may Alvin rest in peace.

damn it... h3ll... RIP mate...
One of the most awesomest people I've ever known from ND... The guy would do anything/everything to help out, and then some. I remember the night before he went to the hospital, he said he was sick, and DC'd anyways.
Good bye old friend

Its hard to believe this is happening...

NewDawn lost a damn good FRIEND...
Its a sad day...
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Indeed. Always has to be that way. I never go into these posts either but it's different this time since it was a friend of mine. Was a good guy and it was actually him that made me play these past 2 rounds that I have. Was a good guy at talking me into playing.
Sorry to see you go Alvin. Was good knowing you. Quite strong of you to be around this community with your sickness and hardly telling anyone, not even opening up out of frustration, if you even had any. Many would have in your place. I hope you rest in peace, and I'm quite sure you will. You should be in a good place now.

Re: Alvin Chng
Damn, h3ll gone
He was one off the best DC's I ever met, back in SiNND. Tried to get him in SiN ever since, well tried once, but he was loyal the ND he said. A good bloke with a good sense humor. Won't be the same without you!
My condolences to all who met and will miss him.

Re: Alvin Chng
I'm staring here at my screen.. he was a very kind person, always trying to keep the peace between everybody.. I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and say I agreed with him all the time but that doesn't matter
I'll always have the utmost respect for him and am honored to have been ND with him so long
RIP m8, sorry I never told you this when I should've..

Re: Alvin Chng
After being in a cluster alliance, galaxy, and ND with h3ll, I can say that Alan was a wonderful person who was extremely kind and generous. He put in many long hours as a DC, and was already ready with his ships to either defend or retalliate.
I knew that he had a debilitating illness and that his friends on IRC were one of the main ways he had to keep in touch with the world. I haven't been active on IRC for a couple of years but we had kept in touch via MSN. I wish I'd spent more time talking to him. :-(
His time was too short.
*hugs* to ND
