She's gone but not in my heart

This is the Yasmin Ahmad that I want to remember. All jovial and smiling. I was supposed to visit arwah in DSH on Saturday, just as a moral support to Mr Tan Yew Leong but alas Allah has other plans for her. Even writing this entry is a struggle...and that's the reason I waited till today to.
A friend from arwah's office called today...still in tears...I don't know how they can even stand to walk into Leo Burnett and face her now empty office. I was told that they are going to keep the office as is, for as long as possible. I can still recall how entertaining she was when we came to her room. It's like home to her, with her movie posters, her books, her picture frames, her numerous accolades.
I had hopes of her recovering....resurrected...just like the commercial that she did for us...Like my boss said, hoping that life will imitate art...but again Allah has His plans for her. The last few days since she fell into a coma...I made a silent prayer after each solat for God to give her what's best for her..and now I know that GOING is the best for arwah.
I will not touch on how inspiring she has been in the little time that we made each other's acquaintances....because thousands out there has paid their tribute. Only my Al-Fatihahs and thoughts of her will give me the much needed solace...

Posting from Dreamland

Image
We reached Bali yesterday afternoon at 3pm and was brought to Dreamland Villa that we have earlier booked at the Matta Fair. Mazlan was so nice to come down from his office to meet us briefly at LCCT. I miss his candid jokes and funny sarcasm.. We are now waiting for the shuttle to take us to Dreamland's private beach. After this morning's breakfast of "tak mahu babinya", we need to walk the food off on the beach. Dreamland has been a dream...We chose a private villa with a private pool that we managed to swim in as soon as we arrived yesterday. The beauty about private villas, is that you don't need to bother when you realised you have forgotten your swimming gear. Hey...be my guest and jump with your jeans on or in your birth suit!! We managed to check out Kuta Discovery Plaza yesterday night looking for a currency exchange. Lots of good stuff to see and will definitely revisit before we head home. And seafood dinner on Kedonganan Beach in Jimbaran w...
