al-fatihah to cikgu yuwan

pic taken on 11 november 2008, at the school's hari anugerah cemerlang. she was of course invited.

i just got back from visiting my late malay language teacher in primary school, cikgu yuwan; who died in alor star at ± 5.30 pm yesterday of ovarian cancer. they scheduled to bury her at the nearby cemetery at 10 am. i had to go back straight after the visit as i have my red flag now, and prohibited to go there *sigh*

i dunno why that i feel so down today. when i wanted to leave the house this morning with my mom, i thought that i wanna be kewl and stay strong. but i can't help it, really. i still had my tears running from my big eyes. luckily i had my sunglasses on. this sad news really 'touched' me.

i know, everyone from the school remember her as the one who always sang 'widuri' during teachers'/children's day and such. she was the school's headmistress for a few years before she left in 2002/03 if i am not mistaken for a primary school in lubuk merbau until present. her youngest daughter is same age with puteri. i will bring puteri to visit her later after school.

although we love cikgu yuwan so much, but Allah loves her more... RIP.

al-fatihah to uncle sabree

thanx to twitter, i tweet about this earlier before hand. it was kinda easy-peasy; as i just forwarded a text that i received from a dad's friend, pak pian.

uncle sabree passed away this morning around 1 am. our condolence to his family, and may he rest in peace...

uncle sabree was well known to kualè and the surrounded area, with his kind of songs on kualè of course. check-out the song of 'masa kecilku di kampung karai' (my childhood life in karai village) — its all well mentioned in the song, of his way of life.

in his life, uncle sabree not just performed at weddings but also at corporate functions, not forgetting at istana iskandariah too. he also performed in my school many years ago for some functions. a dad's friend even brought him to australia for his son's wedding!

i know, uncle sabree will be missed by kualè people indeed. RIP.

and now, let me leave you people with another song by uncle sabree~ 'jangan dok mengata orang'. enjoy!...

al-fatihah to yasmin ahmad...

i am so deeply saddened by the news of yasmin ahmad's death. we heard about it in the tv3 night line earlier. she died about an hour ago.

yasmin was such an amazing woman who touched the lives of many; especially with her creativity that could be seen in many petronas' ads which would certainly be missed by viewers this year. thus i am so proud to say that my lil' bro was the sound man for her movie sepet (official website here) and most of her petronas' tvc.

her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew her. yasmin ahmad will always remain within our heart.

my sincere thoughts and prayers are with her and her family...

with deepest sympathy,

al-fatihah...

innalilahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun... salam takziah, my deepest condolences on the demise of auntie ena's beloved bapak. may Allah place him amongst the pious. Amin. go here to find out more about him.
