Sue Sue Sue

I never thought I would be writing about Sue like this, especially now that she’s gone. It feels too late, but I still want to put these words down because she has been such a big part of my life - especially for the last 2 years.

Sue passed away last Friday from a heart attack at just 50 years old. 

I first met Sue during my first year of university when she was doing her diploma. We lived in the same student apartment with six others. I had the master bedroom but didn’t like it much, so I would normally be in Sue’s room, just hanging out. She shared the room with Kak Zah and Kak Liza. We were always together—having dinner, chatting, and just being young & crazy. We both love roller blading! We were roller blading at nights around the apartment, That’s how we grew close.

After college, Sue treated me to lunch at Lot 10. I still remember us sitting there, chatting away like there was nothing else in the world that mattered. Even when I went to the UK, we stayed in touch. Exchanging letters and every now and then I would send her gift too.

When we both started working, we still made time to see each other, like at Kak Liza’s wedding. Sue was the first person to ride with me in my first car, and we even took a road trip back to Kedah together. I visited her family in Kelana Jaya a few times, and though we lost touch for a while, then life brought us back together again. She got married, had two beautiful kids, and we met up for lunch. Her children were sweet even when they were little; I remember her daughter running back to thank me and saying, “Aunty, you’re beautiful!” Cayaq!

Life went on, and we drifted in and out of touch. I invited her to my first wedding, but she couldn’t make it. Later, Kak Zah and I planned a visit to Sue’s place in Shah Alam, and we spent a lovely afternoon together. She also visited the tailoring shop I had with my ex, and once again, we reconnected.

The last time I saw Sue was during Ramadhan when I was in KL. She was the only friend I met up with during that trip. She came to my house, brought her son, and we broke fast together. We had ciggy together, just chilled.She even gave me a lift to pick up my car from my brother’s. We stayed connected on WhatsApp, sharing our stories as we both looked for jobs, understanding each other more deeply than ever.

Sue, I miss you so much. I will always keep you in my prayers. I’m grateful I told you I loved you back in March because I truly do.



This was taken when I last saw Sue 😔

Love always,
CSL

Life is so complex yet simple, kan? Dulu, when I thought about MYR 200, I felt it was such a small amount, but now that sum is incredibly precious and valuable. I remember the days when I could spend money on manicures every other week—bags and shoes? Tak payah habaq, so many! Thinking back on all the things I used to afford makes me feel grateful. Alhamdulillah, Allah has allowed me to experience what I have wished for and nak! I wanted a marriage with SS, and even though it was short-lived, Allah granted that wish. Now I have Id, I couldn't be more thankful. I have also had the chance to travel, and I just pray that I can continue to explore the world with Id and eventually go for umrah and haji together. With everything happening in my life now, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and syukur. I am also blessed with family and friends who support me 💝 I have been away because of the program I’m currently in, which ends on November 16. I have been busy but will be back again to upda...

Dah lama sangat I have not been updating on here. Dah lah I don't have any other social media so some of you dah tak boleh tengok what's been going with me and Id. But wait, I do have an Instagram account just for my personal use with family as followers. I think I have 11 followers. That's enough and please do not ask for permission to add me. Nothing much is there I only update on IGS and it's all about Id. Siapa lagi kan? The program I attended ended in Nov last year. It's more like preparation for going back to work. 23 of us, that were out of work for more than a year. A lady was out of work for more than 15 years. They could be because taking care of kids or laid off or just like me contract ended and was not renewed. For 9 weeks I was travelling Kedah - KL every week. Thursday to KL and Sunday we will be back in Kedah. Our graduation was on Nov 16 ... We had to do presentation. I was quite gabra juga because I have not been doing it for a while now. I like th...
