About Me

I am married to my loving husband for more than 45 years now. I am a mother to 3 beautiful children, until years ago when I lost my youngest son. Since then my life is forever altered but yet unbroken....

I lost a cousin...

"Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying..."


Inna lillah wa inna 'ilayhi raji'un...

My cousin Rahim is the same age as me and he died today after a long battle with colon cancer. The last time I met him was nearly a year ago on Eidil-Fitri. And he was so full of energy then.

I pray that he be granted jannah...

In the month of Ramadhan
you quitely depart
A feeling of grief fills my heart
My soul is moved, awaken my fears
I pray for you, in silent tears
May you be peaceful
in your closing hours...

    I am saddened. I am also glad that he is out of misery. I guess he is in a better place.

    Take care...

  10. Hello Nong, regret to read of your cousin passing away. My deepest sympathies to you, and his family.
    Always sad to lose a close relative.

    What though the radiance which was once so bright,
    be now forever taken from my sight.
    Though nothing can bring back the hour,
    Of splendour in the grass,
    of glory in the flowers....
    We will grieve not,
    Rather find.....
    Strength in what remains behind.

    You keep well Nong, and best regards, Lee.
    Ooops, just remembered,
    Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa dengan penuh tabah dan kesyukuran. Lee.

  11. Uncle Lee,
    Thank you very much for the nice thought...

    Selamat Menyambut Hari Merdeka. It was an honor for you to be there when they declared our independence!

    Take care...

    My best friend died from colon cancer at the age of 28. She passed away only 6 months after she was diagnosed.
