Ah Mei

 We first met in 5E ward (neurology ward), during my days in HUKM.  She was one of those tumor/brain cancer patients with whom I made friends when I took care of my daughter.  We later became good buddies. We shared stories, not only the exciting one but the sad one too.  She was the one I turned to when I was broke, lost hope, and helpless.  She soothed me when I cried. She listened to my sadness, cheered me up even though she was much in pain too. 

 And when we leave the hospital, the friendship remains. last 2 nights, she video called me at 12.30am, just to comfort me because I was not ok the day before.  She is Choo Mei Mei, a woman with a beautiful heart.  Most of the patients in 5E ward I knew had lost their battles. Only Mei is still kicking and alive until now.  I hope she can survive, for at least a little longer because I don't dare to lose one more life of mine.         

The picture was taken before they had their surgery done. Ah mei is on the left while aunty Karen is in the middle.  however, aunty Karen has passed away last November. 

I bought her a tudung after she said she felt shy because her hair has become bald after the surgery. 
I named her, Siti Nur Mei Mei😆😆

Satu hari dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah, tiba-tiba sebuah kereta hampir2 melanggar seekor anjing yg sedang melintas jalan. Spontan reaksi saya,” nasib baik tak kena kereta, kalu tak kemek!”..pintas cik abang, “eh kenapa pulak nasib baik tak kena kereta? Nasib baik tak kena anjing la. Mana lebih penting nyawa anjing ke, kereta?” saya terpukul dengan jawapan itu. Sebenarnya pesepsi banyak orang melayu khususnya saya, anjing itu binatang yang hina, tak berguna, garang, ditakuti dan dibenci. Pesepsi itu diwarisi sejak turun temurun mungkin disebabkan statusnya sebagai najis mughollazah, iaitu najis berat maka kita seboleh mungkin cuba untuk menghindarinya. Malah di Malaysia, banyak kes anjing gila yang menyerang manusia. Di tempat saya mengajar sekarang nih, ada seekor anjing milik tuan punya bangunan yang sangat besar dan ‘garang’. Setiap kali ke situ, saya akan berdoa sambil mulut tak abis2 mengucapkan ayat 'summum bukmun~. Kalau bernasib baik, saya tak akan berjumpa dgnn...

fuji san

This is my latest project, fuji san.  Actually it is not 100% complete, but i just cant have patience to wait until it to be published here.  Because this one took me about 5 weeks time to completed, which is amongst the longest project i had so far.   To make the color of mountain and sky look like what you may see now, i myself cannot remember how many times i had layered on it.  That is what water color is, layer by layer that makes the drawing differ and lively.  My sensei told me that, it still need some touching up here and there...but then it is here to public. In English the mountain is known as Mount Fuji, but Japanese speaker refer to the mountain as Fuji-San.  This is the highest mountain in Japan, at 3776.24 m.  An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707-08, Mount Fuji lies about 60 miles south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on clear day.  Mount Fuji exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well...
