Food for Thought

If you readers have time, please do visit this blog and read the posts inside. It tell us how a perfect dreams and happy life, could turn into a test in just a second. He is Mas Afzal Masarudin, introduced to me by a friend, Hairul. I happened to know him only by his name, but for me,his stories inspiring in many ways (I found it that way).

We rarely see this kind of person and now we can't find him anywhere, anywhen. He diagnosed with cancer few years ago during his pursue of study in Sheffield University, doing medic. Ever since, he started his blog and in there, he told us about his feeling, how he went through his days studying and fighting over cancer at the same time, fasting albeit he is sick, about his family and friends, their endless support for him and lots more.

Its a journey where one could only just gave it up halfway, but not for him. He fought till the very end of his last breath, but Allah just loves him more. On 18th December 2010, He passed away in Hospital Ampang at 2.24am with all his family members by his side. Innalillah....

I can't stop my tears from falling reading on his every words in the blog. It's a genuine feeling where no one could ever experience except the person himself. The last post was hearthrobing, about his mother who had been loyal taking care of him ever since he was diagnosed and all her sacrifices. Like he knows he is going to leave soon, the post dated 8 December 2010 (1o days before he passed away) says how much he love his mother and how he appreciate having her through his ups and downs.

That was the last, and his final piece before he leaves us with thought: he is only 26 and wish could have done more if god is willing to grant him another years to live. What about us who still have the urge and well living? When I read his blog, I remember the saying "Do things as if you are going to die tomorrow", because you don't know when will be your end.

Thank you afzal :-) , may you rest in peace brother...
