Received news early this morning while I was blazing along on the North-South highway. An uncle on my mothers side, the second of three have passed on. Two down and one to go. Innalillah and Al-Fatihah is all I could muster as neither the will nor resources availed itself for me to go and pay my last respect. His sons and daughter whom I have not been in touch with since we were kids, I am sure will be there to do the necessary.Such is the nature of human relations I live in today. Sure, blood is thicker than water but water sustains you, blood will not (unless you are a vampire...). Deep inside, if it was (god forbid) one from my circle of close friends or relatives that passed on, I am certain that I will be able to find the will or resource for the last goodbye.
That said, may Allah bless Pak Teh's soul and may he rest in peace.

May your uncle rest in peace.
How have you been, Apandi? Hope all is well with you. Thought I'd drop by and say hello and let you know that I am still alive and kicking (although my blog seems lifeless at times). I have resolved to update my blog when I can (give and take every two weeks or so). :)
