1/9/28 In remembrance of En. Rashid, my good neighbor for 29 years

 En. Rashid passed away peacefully in his sleep during Asar yesterday on Merdeka Day.

A very nice man, always passed me munchies whenever there were festivals or when he visited his kins, in Muar, Johor.  He is 67 years old (Ma Sha Allah, Anak Merdeka).

At the time of his passing, it was a sudden downpour; heavy and abrupt.  Just as suddenly as it started, it stopped.

None of the family members wept.  It was a peaceful departure.

My condolence to the wife and family was, "Orang baik, mati dia senang."

She accepted with serenity.

What surprises me the most is the head is pointing toward NNW instead of the customary WNW.

Certain[]y (Certainly) the ripple had reached the distant shores.  This is very unique indeed.

I feel blessed.  This is not a futile effort after all.

En. Rashid, even in death you did good.  You gave me the peace of mind that everybody will be OK.

Have a good rest, my friend.  I know you are in a good place.  Yeah, we spoke...
