Yeah as I promised..
after the last entry, I've been thinking..why not blogging bout my belated Aunty..
Arwah Ruby Ahmad..
Well i was so shocked..
I received a text message from my mom at 3.15pm London Time, 11pm MYT on 15th March 2010..I had clinic that day..so while waiting for my patient i went back to our PG room and checked my phone.. YA Allah!! that was my reaction!! I couldn't believe it myself.. ;(
i called my mom, but she was praying so i talked to my sis instead..they were just received the news and were preparing to rushed to the hospital..i was crying like hell...non stop!! Luckily my next patient didn't turn up..so i went back home..I couldn't walk..so i stopped by and cried..cried and cried...
at home i couldn't eat, couldn't sleep..what i did was crying all night until i spoke to my mom the next morning..she comforted me..telling me not to cry and be strong..but i could sensed her feelings too!!
she was like my own mom..on my mom's side; we were so close to each other..and this particular aunty didn't have any daughter, so she was closed to all her nieces...
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005..had mastectomy in the same year..but early this year during follow up appointment, the doctor found spots on her liver and lungs..BUT she kept it as a secret!!! None of her family members knew about this..Only her husband and the boys knew it...My mom's siblings got furious over the news..
but what to do Allah lebih menyayangi WanBi..
To me personally...she was a great lady.. a true germ..she was an avid blogger and always discussed about intellectual topics on her facebook..i was closed to her since i was a kid..but during my teenage years, she wasn't around as she was resided abroad..
but during my undergrads, she came back for good and i started to see her a lot..i even referred her to my fave lecturer so that she could get the best specialist care!!
And i always referred to her on how to raise boys..she had 4 boys!! she always advised me and we sent messages to each other..and she was the one who helped me to apply for my accommodation in Goodenough College..she made people around her happy!!
I always adored her on her fashion sense..that's where i knew all this handbags brands (hehe)..she was an architect by profession..mestilah ade style kan!! she was a stylish lady..simple, minimalise but up to date...in Msia, she always appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Tatler and being interviewed by the media...
i once told her that we should go shopping together, but i was very busy myself so i didn't hve time (that was before i came to London)..but we did had coffees around KL..
huh byk lagi cerita kalau nk ingat..
and i was her supplier for certain UK products that did not available in KL...
why and why none of us noticed that she was sick???
when my mom came here, we talked about arwah..tried to regain our memories..mmg tak penah notice that she was sick...yg we remembered that she always went to the toilet..that's it..other than that..takde tanda langsung..she didn't even loss her hair!!My mom was so sad!! But kami pasrah!! Thank God that all her boys has got married..the last wedding was just a month before she passed away..she knew it I think..so she settled everything..
actually a day before she passed away, my sister had organized a family gath..but she didn't attend due to her health..so she left a message on a photo on facebook where most of us (my sibs and cuzs were tagged)..we then used the pic to 'jadi kenangan'..

This is the saddest day in my life..........to see my younger sister going before me, only god knows.... Yes Dan let's remember her as a ceria person and a very loving auntie, that is the way she wants us to remember her.

from my cuz: kan she's all philosophical about 'love' ... baru je happy happy hurray dengan diye ... mama ... to quote wan bi ... maybe she's not as strong as her adik beradik are to see her loved ones go, that's why it's in god's plan that she was away when opah passed away ... *hugs*

on the other note, we received another news that my uncle (my mom's younger brother) was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia just 2 weeks after Wan Bi passed away..that was very depressing!!we were so stressed bout it..we were on holidays and my parents were here too..my mom got so stressed that she wanted to go back home straight away..but her other sibs advised her to cont with her vacay..
so last week after my parents touched down KL, my mom told me that he was in a stable condition..he underwent chemotheraphy straight away!!! ;(
Please pray for my Uncle's health...
we were so sad that we couldn't even visited him..just our prayer be with him..
(the dugaan living abroad.. *sigh)
Alhamdulillah dapat jumpa my parents last Easter..
semoga Allah panjang kan umur dan murahkan rezeki seluruh ahli keluarga kami..
Amin ya rabbal alamin!!
from right: my mom, Wan Nor, Arwah Wan Bi, Emy and me..
