Remembering an old friend - the late Rosmaria Razak

A few days ago, I received a call from zita saying that an old friend named Maria passed away. The day before that I was just browsing through my old primary school album and I automatically thought it was 'Maria' from our primary school days... (have not seen her since I left primary school by the way!).

Two days ago... I met up with Zita for lunch at Mid Valley... and came across Kus who was my one year senior from TKC days. Then I heard Zita talking to Kus about ' the late Rosmaria' and I was like "WHAT????? Our Rosmaria??? Red house, hockey player?? That's the 'Maria' you've been talking about????" But it can't be.... I just met her 2 years ago at TKC OGA... and she looked good! But sadly... the truth is... Rosmaria Razak, my one-year senior at TKC (my hockey team buddy, police cadet buddy... and a dear friend... which I will never forget!!) died on 14th May 2006. It was a sudden shock for everyone.. including her family...

I was still shocked with the news when I reached home that evening... and couldn't stop thinking about the late Maria... so I recite Yaasin for arwah... and pray that she'll be in golongan orang yang beriman... Aaminn.

Later, I opened my old TKC album and saw these pics.... (Maria is at the front row - 3rd from left)
