(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

(Mohd Noh bin Mohd Ali)

Noh passed away peacefully around 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..."

( The two of us at Bidara House)

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.
