I just realised that I had been quiet for a long long time, after the initial burst of activities I had on the site. Time passed, and did so very quickly. This is so me - to get all excited about something and then quickly lose steam after that. Well, that doesn't apply to everything about me though.. he he.
So much happened since then, and it is amazing that I am still standing the way I am today. And somehow most of them seem to be sad things. I lost my grandma on 18 August 2004 to old age. Tok was 87, and she was the one who raised me. Tok was a woman who was way ahead of her time and place in her thinking. It's amazing for a woman who spent all 84-years of her life in the small kampung of Padang Pauh in Perlis to be so forward thinking. She was a strong woman who never shed any tears, and accepted any hardships that came her way with dignity and strength and faith that I have never seen in any other person. If only I could have a shred of her character I would be ten times better than who I am today. And Tok, I miss you terribly.
