Note: i republish this post that was done last weekend because i just found my late father's photo as i perused my pictures file.......The heavy downpour yesterday has really put a dampener to all Kuchingites i presume.However it didn't stop me for having a full day of activities .
How did i spend my Saturday? Morning was at Hilton attending a farewell to the Indonesian consulate Pak Bambang, a friend that i got to know.
Interesting the way Indonesians conducted their function, not much officialdom with all the usual facilitation.."Datuk2 Datin2", it's more of "Bapak2 dan Ibu2"..hmmm.
After lunch straight off to Stadium Sarawak to watch the Demak league semi final games. Football in a heavy downpour, not surprising the second semi final was abandoned.
After that i went to my Mum's place to attend "makan arwah" of my late father. The occasion is normally with invitation to close relatives, people from a nearby mosque as we recited doas or prayers in remembrance of my late father.
How time flies,he passed away 10 years ago but to us all it was just like yesterday. Our memories of him still lingers on.
He died of lung cancer, i can recalled the pains and sufferings that he endured from the pain that cancer normally inflicted.
His calm and resolute though was admirable strengthened by his strong faith and belief in Allah SWT. He may not leave any notable monuments or great achievements in this world but certainly he left a legacy of how to live a decent life.Admittedly even after 10 years i still cant measure to that.Even to this day i still regretted not spending too much time with him at the initial stage of his suffering from this deadly disease.
As i left my Mum's house yesterday the downpour has not abated and this compounded the melancholy feeling that one had as we tried to give remembrance to our loved one that has passed on.
