Random Thoughts of a Lioness

The reward of conformity was that everyone liked you, except yourself.

Al Fatihah

Came back from my holidays with a phone call from Jaycee - our dearest friend passed away in a car accident back in Tawau, just a day after her engagement.

Which brings to mind how a split second can change everything.

And that the Almighty has promised us that ajal maut is all in His hands.

It made me think how I may regret so many opportunities lost spending time with my loved ones should anything like this ever happen again.

And how I often opt to finish my work than taking time out to smile and laugh with them.

Her passing was hard on many of us in the office, especially those who are close to her. How we shall miss her smile, and easy going nature. How I will no longer able to just pick up the phone and bombard her with stupid questions that only she would entertain. And not to hear her voice and that laugh again.

Rest in peace, Hasnih. Semoga Allah menempatkan beliau di kalangan mereka yang beriman.

Komen Pak Malim kucing ray yg alim.

Kehilangan orang yg dikasihi, samada ahli keluarga atau rakan baik umpama luka di dalam hati, kata Pak Malim sambil naik pedati. Rasa pedih di dalam, tapi orang kat luar tak nampak, kata Pak Malim sambil memegang kapak. Saya tumpang kesedihan awak, kerana saya pernah rasa kehilangan, kata Pak Malim sambil menyinsing lengan.

Ray : It was a sad day (and week) for all of us in the office.

famyGirl : He came for our office tahlil. Since he had to be strong for her family, he let it all out when he came. None of us had dry eyes that day. The thing is - he didn't go for the tunang ceremony cos he was down with chicken pox. They were together for 7 years
