Death leaves a heartache...

"Death ends a life, not a relationship..." - Jack Lemmon

(The Golden Girls at Datin Liza's house)

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear Golden Girls Scout buddy's beloved husband following his coronary bypass surgery. The news came as a great shock to all of us. Losing a life partner is one of life's greatest sorrows. 

Dear Liza, no words can truly ease such profound grief, but please know that our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences are with you during this difficult time. We are always here for you whenever you need a listening ear or a helping hand.

May you find strength and comfort in the love of your family and friends, and may the beautiful memories you shared with your beloved husband continue to bring you peace. His life was a blessing, and his memory will forever remains.

Al-Fatihah.

Innalillah...

"Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return..." – Surah Al-Baqarah 2:156

Noh passed away peacefully at 5:00 pm, after a short battle with advanced-stage prostate cancer.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are by the loss of hubby's beloved younger brother. He was not just a brother-in-law to me, but a wonderful part of our family who brought so much joy to everyone with his good nature and candor.

May Allah forgive him, have mercy on his soul, and grant him peace in Jannah.

Eid Al-Adha Mubarak...

 "On this sacred day, may your faith be strengthened and your life be blessed with joy and prosperity..."

May the spirit of Eid al-Adha bring peace to our hearts and fill our home with endless blessings. 

Eid Mubarak!

The Signs of Failing Health...

"A healthy person has a thousand wishes, but a sick person has only one..." - Arabian Proverb

(Warded at PPUM)

It has been heartbreaking to see my husband’s younger brother, Noh, struggling with his health. What started as discomfort, bloating and restless nights, has led to him being warded for prostate abnormalities.

Right now, he’s undergoing more tests so the doctors can find the best way forward. Seeing him lying there, so frail and exhausted, is incredibly difficult. He is usually cheerful, always jovial and bright, but the pain has taken its toll on him.

We are praying for his strength and a speedy recovery. It’s a somber reminder that without our health, nothing else matters.

A Reunion by the Sea...

“Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world...”

(Friends forever)

It is time for our SMKB classmates’ reunion once again.

This year feels a little more special. We have managed to gather a small but meaningful group of girls from the Class of ’71. Each carrying her own stories, her own journey through time. Our meeting place: the breezy shores of Bayu Melawi Beach in Bachok, Kelantan, where the sea stretches wide and the wind seems to whisper memories from long ago.

Some of the girls, together with their families, will be staying the night at the resort, turning this reunion into a brief family retreat. Others will join us just for the day. Just enough time, perhaps, to laugh, to reminisce, and to reconnect. The plans are simple, but filled with joy. A seafood barbecue by the beach, light-hearted games, and the kind of conversations that only old friends can share.

I find myself feeling unexpectedly excited. There is a certain warmth in meeting old friends, those who once shared classrooms, laughter, secrets, and youthful dreams. Some I have not seen since the day we went our separate ways after school. Time, of course, has left its gentle marks on all of us. We have aged, each in our own way, shaped by life’s many turns.

We may not recognise one another immediately. Faces change, voices soften, and years quietly reshape us. But beneath it all, something remains untouched.

There is something timeless about friends who knew you before you became who you are.
