last week, we went to Taiping, visiting on of our bestfriend since high skool.
makyam, as we called her, is struggling with chemo and operation ever since she was diagnosed wit cancer last year.

a few days before that, asyik la teringat dier. nak tido ingat dier, tengah keje pon ingat die.
makyam ni, best fren when i was in mrsm.

tau-tau jerla, when you were dumped in the middle of nowhere, hutan tempat jin bertendang, yang kumbang2 nyer besar gajah selalu lekat kat kain,
pah tu belakang hostel straight away hutan simpan negeri Perak, wow...at that time, frens is everything to us.
we practically grew up together.
being 13 at that time, we were groupies, desperately trying to find our identities, at the same time thinking "apalah aku buat kat tengah2 hutan ceruk ni...??"

but then, tak sangka-sangka, it was FUN!
like...really really fun!
we had great time, great buddies and great teachers.

we were naughty to the max, tapi apalah sangat nakal budak2 baru nak membesarrr...
and being boarded in a skool so far from hometown, masuk-masuk jer dah tadek api air,
boleh tak baru jer daftar, black out sampai seminggu??

tapi best gak bergelappp jer..makan kat dining hall pon ala-ala candle light dinner gittew.
then dah tadek api, air plak la tadek...terpaksa la berjimat cermat pakai air dalam tangki..
then, when it was all gone..
we had to go mandi sungai every single day, of coz at that time, bohongla sape cakap dier pegi skolah mandi pagi...sumerrr termasuk lah warden tak mandi oke..
wangi jerrr....hiks
after skool, after lunch, grab laundry basket, toiletteries, berduyun-duyun la kami naik bas skolah ke sungai..
SERIUS! tak tipu langsung. sungai tu tak jauh pon, cumer kene naik bas sebab skolah atas bukit, so tonggek la bontot nak mendaki...
mandi kat jeram..air sejuuukk jerr...basuh2 kain atas batu...kejar2 anak-anak (read: baju dalam and suar dalam)
yang terhanyut...hemmm :) it was fun...menyanyi2 lagak dalam citer P Ramlee...heeh

see? that kind of things made the bond between us stronger.
plus, we were very much in groups...
every one of us belong to a group or coupe, if not, then means you were not that cool, or likeable, or simply just plain lone ranger!

and she was one of US. the mEtroXIII. hiks..actually, that wasnt our group names, but it was just incidentally formed up when we designed our group t-shirts, all black shirts, with our names on the back.
at that time, that kind of t-shirt was totally awesome!..
not anymore....ngeh ngeh ngeh

and so, we keep in contact with each other. we went to every wedding, mostly!
we had picnics, bbq, gathering, our annual berbuka puasa bersama-sama,
tengok bola same2, lepaking, futsal-ing..

we are close, till now!

so that's why, her pain is our pain. we are really sad about what happen to our. Cancer at a young age isn't something that we ever thought of.
especially if you are an engineer, working with a international companies...like my best fren!
and more..you have all the great future in front of u and suddenly..

Zzzappp!! all gone. for the small cancerous lump...

what can we do now is PRAY for her, keep giving her all the SUPPORT that we can, some donations....
somehow..

i dun think that's enuff..
seeing her, smiling, acting like she' not in any pain...even tho her parents told us she was kind of giving up...and in constant pain all the time.
she took morphin injection just to be able to see and be with us when we visited her.

We Luvluvluvluv U... Be strong oke..!!

Ya Allah, semoga KAU panjangkan usia sahabatku ini..Aminnn

Please pray for her..!
