ceased

AL-FATIHAH...our dearly beloved grandfather(the eldest brother to my grandmother on my mother's side) passed away yesterday morning (around 6.14am) at bukit rambai, melaka.  famously known as 'Long Mat', he really had a 'long' life. aged 96 (dlm ic 89yrs). always smiling and soft spoken to the young and old (tapi garang to anak-anak dia hehe).  he was the eldest in his family and the last to 'go'.  two month ago his eldest son passed away and since then he started to be more quiet and more to himself.  a very hard working man, even during his granddaughter's wedding few months ago, i saw him holding a 'good morning' towel, trying to clean the tables. a person who would quietly excuse himself after an event (pernah sekali dia senyap-senyap nak balik rumah dia n nak naik bas saja after a wedding).  so for longer life, buatlah kerja2 sawah n eat what you tanam sendiri...less toxic
