saw some familiar faces in the pics.

maybe i’ve came across the late Zul before? i don’t know.. anyway, alFatihah.

Yes, so far 4th april is clear and I’ve noted it in my diary. I’d love to come along.
Insyaallah, we’ll meet up then.

Satu “pemergian” menghasilan silaturrahim baru…
Zul has done something good despite being gone.

Thanks for your note.

Ive being calling family to know the family updates every now and then. Yer lar kita jauh di perantauan rindu selalu negeri sendiri. I managed to talk with Da yesterday to find out how’s she being coping without Che Zul ( i use to call my uncle che zul – and he use to call me adik). Got to know her and children living in the big house without other close family member. Yer lar everybody have their own family. Since Che Zul settled down Ive not to get a chance to visit them often. Sekali sekala balik KL baru ada chance itu pun kalau cuti lama. Selalunya balik sana atas urusan kerja. Ive contacted Da to stay with her during my visit before umrah. So now I need to cancel my accommodation in KL. So boleh lar jumpa Kak Sabar. Sebelum kematian Suri dah arrange nak buat doa selamat dgn family pada 4th April (my bestday on big O hehehe – first time nak sambut dgn family di Msia). So kali ni kita buat sekali tahlil. Kak Saba pun di jemput.

I think I have recognised and met Kak Noor earlier (is it her in the pic above?) but during that time I was still young girl. Tak tau lar mungkin kot. Apahal nanti kalau ada masa jemputlah ke rumah Da pada Sabtu April 4th. Insyaallah kami buat majlis doa selepas maghrib. Ada perubahan kita khabarkan. Here is my contact in Australia + 61 400270933. In case ada plan nak bercuti sini khabar lar.

Salam,Suri

Yeah, if only you knew who he was, and who he was to me, then maybe I’d get to meet him then. Tapi dah takdir macam tu, nak buat macam mana..

And yes, dunia ni kecil je kan… pusing2, kita jumpa org kita kenal, atau org yg kenal org yg kita kenal, hehehe…

Hazila here. I saw Aruah Zul in ICU (DSH). I did not know who he was then. I juat passed by and saw his children were reciting Yaasin. His wife was moving his hand up and down. I was there to visit hubby’s cousin out from OT. Somebody asked me – “Dtg nak tgk Encik Zul juga ke?”. I said no. I saw a familiar face there, looks like my ex-roomate. Pakai tag kerja TNB. Then I knew she was Gartblue. My x-roomate is her twin sister. Somehow, I became curious and try to get info from Gartsblue’s blog, which in turn, linked to your blog. Baru tau yang “Encik Zul” was one of my super-super seniors. Al-fatihah.

I am glad you came back to this blog .

I am sorry that I couldn’t have any pic from Balai Islam .

I think Mrs Zul (Da) needs all the support she can get and your presence will surely help.

And finally, my best wishes to you for your umrah.

lucky by chance had google it. Thanks for posting the pictures.., really appreciated. I’ll be back in April 2nd for family visit and umrah.

Salam from Sydney.
Suri

Thank you for the info. I thought “she” is a girl, but I was wondering too why he was wearing baju melayu.

Dear Gartblue,
Thank you for sharing your memories of Zul. I am not that lucky to know the wiser Zul.

apart from me ,there are many other friends who have not met Zul even since we left school, though he was in the e-group occasionally.

Lesson for us all – if we want to meet someone whom we’ve not met for so long, NEVER delay it!

thanks a gazillion for posting the pictures from the cemetary. I worked with Zul closely (side-by-side, as his subordinate and his sparring partner) for the past 12 years and as with the rest of us, his colleagues. We’re such a close knit group and we’ve shared a lot between us all, through births of our children, sickness and joy.

this was a shock to us all. this morning some of us are still unable to keep dry eyes especially when we walk past his room, reading his name on the door. we have official letters he has minuted to us in his handwriting. i have images of him, popping at my door, asking is I was busy so we could have a chat. at breakfast, i had tears brimming in my eyes while I asked for nasi lemak at Zul’s favourite kaknor’s stall remembering his penchant for chapati and roti arab and he would always tell us .. “I jaga makan ni” while he downed nasi dagang. cheeky, cheeky guy!

zul has been a great friend to us all. one who brings smiles to everyone’s face. we will miss him. we will miss his jokes in meetings. we will miss him at breakfasts and we will miss his presence.

Al-Fatihah.
