GOOD BYE
I wrote about Ropa my good friend since childhood on September 8th.
Yesterday,
He will be buried today (Friday) in Dungun, hopefully by the side of his mother. People say it is blessed to die in Ramadhan and on a Thursday evening. May Allah place him among the places of the faithfuls.
To those who can, please read the fatihah for him. The rest, read about him in Risible Ropa . He would want you to smile and laugh. That's how I would think of him. That's how all my classmates would remember him. He would be sorely missed.
Goodbye Ropa. I am not able to send you to your grave like a good friend should but I have said many prayers for you.

I'm greatly saddened to hear of the passing of your friend Ropa. I only knew him from your blog, but still feel it a great loss as he reminded me of a man - also deceased - I knew in Trengganu who lived at the foot of Bukit Putri, who was just like him. It's a good man who goes in Ramadhan and on a Thursday afternoon too. May Allah reward him with Jannah.

I guess losing a friend is always sad, no matter how long you know them.
Inalillah hi wa inna hi roji uun.

Ropa's story reminds me of this quote -
By BJ, at 9:18 AM
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
--Thomas Paine
May he rest in peace and be there among the blessed. Al-fatihah. -

Innalillahi wainnailaihirojiun, takziah to Ropa and his family. I loved your entry about him - especially the bit about putting a zip at the cranium.

pak ku, your blog about your buddy ropa is a wonderful tribute. he sounded like someone who, when life dealt him lemons, would simply use a few for asam in his sambal belacan, perah some on ikan pari bakar and turned what's left into lemonade.

al fatihah!
