I am saddened by the passing of a dear friend, Dalilah Tamrin.
Dalilah Tamrin, who runs a blog onebreastbouncing under the name 0f Raden Galoh lost her fight against cancer. She died at 8.50am and was buried before the Asar prayers.
We were told by her husband early yesterday morning that her condition had worsened.
Am glad that Elviza, my sister, Nuraina and I managed to see her for the last time yesterday at the KLGH although she wasn't able to recognise us. Sempat cium her forehead and her cheeks.
We went to her funeral this afternoon at her mom's place in Banting. It was packed with relatives and friends .
She leaves behind husband Saiful and sons Adam,15, and Idris.11.
May Allah SWT Bless her soul.
Al fatihah
Below is a song“Kembaliku Padamu Ilahi, the lyrics of which she penned herself.

He was Malaya’s first Post and Telecoms Minister and was one of the signatories when the Malaysia agreement was signed in London in 1963.
He also held various ministerial posts, including Labour and Social Welfare, Health and Social Welfare, acting Minister of Defence, Commerce and Industry, and Agriculture before he retired from politics.
In 1973, he was elected President of the Dewan Negara and served until 1980.
Even after he retired from active politics, Ong continued to be active in social works, said Aishah. - The Star
