White rose


white rose.Posted by Picasa

Condolonces to our honourable head of the class *forever* , Ms Nurleena Hassan ( ramblingsofamute.blogspot.com ) for the passing of her beloved mother yesterday . Alfatihah..

The Kamcheng gang has lots of memories with Auntie Rogayah. A very friendly figure who's always the person you want to talk and confide to. In a way , she knew a lot about the gang's life ; what we did during school days and after. She knew about the friendship , relationship , betrayal etc.. and had always been there for us when we needed her. We;d always loiter in her home , sometimes without the presence of Nurleena herself . She'd always be keen and interested to update us with the latest updates and gossips in the TTDI circle.

Next raya will not be the same without her ; as every year we would go and visit the family without fail . ( we do go there occasionally then however.. heks.. ) She would always enjoy our presence as how we were too with her warm welcome. I will definitely miss her special LAMB MEAL .. only available on the first day of raya.

When she was diagnosed with Mets to the lungs from an unknown primary about a year ago , we all went like huh... how come ? There was never the time we would imagine her to be sick ; and she bravely tried her might to fight it.Her chemotherapy and regular pleural tap certainly drained her a lot. We did try to visit her from time to time.. but each time her condition worsened and it was quite disturbing to see her in such condition.

I received an SMS yesterday evening ; noting that she was in University hospital and looking bad. We rushed to the hospital at about 6.30 pm , Menara Utama , 1217 ; We first met Nurleena's dad ; he tried to smile on our arrival but we knew he was speechless. Honestly , when i saw Auntie , i could barely recognize her. Gone were the thin , youthful and cheerful looking mum , and in front of us.. her physique being cushingoid due to her high dose of steriods , very ill looking and really breathless. her Spo2 was hovering 86 - 89% on a modified BIPAP . Azad and Dil was there too.. All of us numbed and gone were our evil-like laughter.

" I dah puas nangis dah..kering air mata... " said Nurleena , i did try to crack few jokes as how i'd always do. " Thanks for cheering me up... "

I could see sadness and desperation in her eyes. The agony of losing a lovely mother was too painful to accept. I was lost for words too as deep in my heart , seeing Auntie in that condition ; she was deteriorating. told Nurleena about things to expect especially in the hospital when a patient collapses. We left her about half an hour later.. she was more keen to be beside her mum.. especially during this hour of need..

Early this morning..about 1.20 am , wifey received the sms.. Auntie Rogayah had peacefully passed away. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun...

To Nurleena and family , stay strong as this is allah's test for u guys..
Auntie Rogayah.. we will miss you.. and your non-presence will be so much felt..

Alfatihah...

although I don't know nurleena personally, what she's going through is a familiar feeling for me. So from the deepest of my heart, tolong sampaikan salam takziah, moga tuhan cucuri rahmat atas roh her mum. amin.

I only got to read your blog entry today on 4th October 2005...I have been busy getting life back on track...You wrote a wonderful thing about my mom; you and Haniza's presence were a comfort during my mother's last day especially when you informed me of the fact that I need to tell the doctor not to resuscitate my mom when it got to that point. Only Allah can repay you and Haniza for your knowledge and support. My thanks come late...apologies.
