Meminta maaf atas nama cermin dan kaca jendela, langit dan cahaya, juga segala yang tidak percaya kepada matamu pada pagi hari. Selamat pagi. Apa khabar? Kenyataan ialah api yang berkobar di antara dadamu dan inginku. Atau segala apa yang berkibar di antara anganmu dan tanganku ini. Di tempat sejauh dan sedekat ini, tidak ada yang nyata melebihi hal-hal yang kabur dan mustahil disentuh. Apakah aku tidur di mimpimu?

You will be locked in a vicious circle of malevolent energy. Instead for forty days and nights say and think nice things about that person. Everything will be different at the end of forty days, because you will be different inside.”

She had lived her life to the fullest and had 'checked' quite a number of adventures to do in her bucket list. I am sure she still had a long list of things to do and places to go in her life which sadenned me very much but she had inspired many of her friends and students to enjoy life and appreciate nature while we can .

Always punctual, always had something to do, always spending your time doing something that made yourself and people around you happy and benefited from something positive that you created. You were generous as well. You have never failed to brought presents back for people that you care and you were generous in the sense that you have always gave people good advice and made them think about the world. I love the fact that you died doing the thing that you loved the most, you had a fulfilling life and not all of us would have the privilege of that, that I am sure.

What I remembered from our brief conversation was that she repeatedly telling me to reach out to her in case if I need help with anything in the future. It struck a chord in heart because that shows how much she cares about her students, even way beyond their graduation.

She will be remembered fondly by us, how she dares to live a life that many of us only dare to dream about. How she's beaming with happiness every time she shares her adventure to somewhere far off. She's the epitome of the perfect life - fearless and sincere. She deserves all the love, respect and admiration.

Rest in Peace Dr. Sahana. Thank you for everything. ]]> 2017-12-20 09:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/217439253 Dr. Sahana was an inspiring, strong and independent woman. The knowledge she share is so valuable. She'll always be my role model. She'll always be remembered. May Allah grant her the highest Jannah https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/217521810 2017-12-20 15:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/217521810 Excerpt #88 hhaliza https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/217671553 “Dan ini pula yang sering aku katakan dan mudah-mudahan benar menyerap ke dalam diri aku sendiri: Mengembara (perjalanan) itu adalah satu proses panjang yang sepatutnya mengubah diri kita ke arah yang lebih baik. Sedikit demi sedikit, secara perlahan-lahan, agar perubahan itu mampu bersifat kekal dan dapat dibudayakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Sudah namanya juga ‘proses’ maka sudah tentu butuh waktu. Budaya meraikan diversiti, misalnya. Tanpa melalui proses panjang ini, dapat kita lihat berapa ramai di antara kita yang dikatakan pergi ‘mengembara’ tetapi tetap pulang sebagai orang yang sama.”

I am not there. I do not sleep. 
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glints on snow. 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain. 
When you awaken in the morning's hush 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. 
I am the soft stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry; 
I am not there. I did not die.

I want to give her a box of cake at least but that would never happened. When everyone else turned their back on me, she comfort me guiding me through the toughest day.

It was only few minutes she and I found ourselves so close. The way she talks about her experiences, the way she share her seldom smile (it's beautiful) and the way she thinks about everything just make me smiling :) she was a kind person. No doubt! https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/228443493 She was also a very talent travel mate, I felt so joy with her during our trip in Belitong - Indonesia.

Jejak kamu masih disitu...
Al-fatihah]]> 2018-03-31 09:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/247584712 You will be remembered dearly hhaliza https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/268686719 I haven't got the chance to write my thoughts about Hana. So here goes. 

She was firstly a colleague, who became a friend that I haven't really got the chance to know better. It all started with 'Hey, you're on Goodreads too!', where I figured she loves books & reads passionately. I was so in love with her books collections & reading corner at home, a mini library that I'd love to get one day too. Really spent a long time browsing through her book collections the last time I was there, treasures they are. It was said that if you a have a library & a garden at home, you're complete. And she was.  

She loves backpacking & I admired her for that. Do things that you love, do things for experience; those are what she was. She knows what she wants, and she goes for it. And it sadden me greatly to learn of her sudden departure. I guess all departures make you feel that way. 

But I'm glad to be a part of her happy times. I remember thinking to myself that she looked really happy during our camping trip to Nagapuri. With skies full of stars & the long evening beach walk. I'm glad. And for that, she will always be remembered, dearly. 

Good times makes me remember you. Always. Semoga Allah merahmati roh allahyarhamah di sana. We will meet again, insyaAllah. Al-fatihah. ]]> 2018-06-27 04:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/268686719 A person I hold dearly https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/634492870 It's been 3 years since Dr Sahana has left us. I sometimes be reminded of her when I stayed alone, staring at the busy city in KL. We went for data collection in Kundasang, together with Dr Kelvin, Nasma, Logan, and Haniff. A week together really means a lot for all of us. How she likes keropok keping Terengganu even I fried it burnt. She still ate it until nothing left. She was a Neutrogena cosmetics user and she particularly love to eat bihun goreng that Nasma cooked for breakfast. Before she departed to Madagascar, I dropped by at her office.. promised to get her Keropok Lekor Terengganu. But she never return. I didn't lie when I say, I was brokenhearted, to be exact all her students were. I have no idea why I still missed her so much and I'll cry for her every now and then. 

3 years later in 2020, Dr Bakhtiar left us too. I cried again even we weren't close. He was a lecturer whom I looked up to that always smiled and laughed for us. We students used to take turns took care fo his stroke mother and I know his life always dedicated for his mother. I was crying while typing this. I missed my lecturers, I didn't say thank you properly or bid goodbye. They've left us for eternity. And I know I'll be leaving this world too. Is there anyone will cry for me then? 

I hope I'll be missed, doing great things I will not regret because Dr Sahana & Dr Bakhtiar taught me too well in this life. ]]> 2020-06-20 16:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hhaliza/sahanaharun/wish/634492870
