My name is Firdauz,

and I love you, forever.

Each time i read your entries, i’ll be squeezing my ipod, running my thumb in circle, trying to find the perfect track to bring harmony — and the unity of all irony, to what i feel.

I’m feeling it like this, Sara : It was 10 days before your 20th birthday when you were diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer; and you would say with your eyes, “My surprise came early this year.”

And your lips would blossom into a dazzling smile, like a flower who received rich sunshine you would say ” I’m special. God chose me. He loves me.”

And slowly, the cancer would chew on your lung, reaching to your heart, grabbing it by a tumor the size of love — big, destructive, but yet, it made you understand something that i don’t.

I’m writing this on my bed, Sara; and through the glass windows, i’m watching angry engines and furious headlights racing to the end of the highway. The room is a tad cold, i have a blanket to cover my feet, and i put two pillows to cushion my chest — i’m trying to soften the rough edges of my emotion, Sara. And i think, you have reached there, to the origin of my emotions, doesn’t it come from this heavy chest, Sara?

Where is the origin to what i feel, Sara. Is it not from this heavy chest?

You’re a young spirit, Sara. You died of lung cancer — and the irony of being a non-smoker — you fought it with happy days; happy days with a list of food that you missed eating, happy days with the loves of your life, happy days that went wrong.

Happy days that went wrong.

You’re a young spirit, you died of lung cancer, Sara. And you fought it with happy days; happy days that went wrong.

My name is Firdauz, Sara. And I love you, forever.

    I had the privilege to know her back during RANtAi, such a pretty, sweet, lovely and super talented young lady. I was amazed at her photos. Was truly impressed. I left her a note in her guest book, and she did in mine too.

    Hmm. It’s just a weird feeling you can’t get over someone the passing of someone so young kan? And reading all the condolences at her chatbox semua. Then reading what she wrote in her blogs, seeing the pictures she took. Kinda makes you stop and think how things would be if it was us instead. And what is actually going on the other side, and are we really ever ready for whatever lies beyond?

    Really amazed as to how strong she was and positive about life. Definitely a superwoman I agree.

    oh hi Anna,

    i’d like to think that sara aziz, is the epitome of love, femininity and eternal happiness. her talent to love, to smile and to take photos and her passion to live and to achieve great things in life, are not only natural — it’s the most romantic thing that still exists beyond films and fictional stories.

    sara aziz, is the epitome of love, femininity and eternal happiness. i’d like to think it that way.

    i heard that she had cancer since she was 13.
    she’s brave enough to fight the disease but then all her pain was slowly taken away.
    God loves you,Sara.

    you are a talented photographer and your smile is always in my mind.

    al-fatihah.

    my friend named siti sara, passed away too. she was 19, it was after merdeka, and she passed away on 8 sept. few more months to go to millennium and she didn’t make it.

    her blood clot burst.

    she was my guide to anything religious, and she didn’t have a blog but she had many friends. i always call ajue on every sept 8th just to remember about sara and let our other friends back in college, sheila and sharlini know about it as well.

    still can’t believe it’s almost 10 years she’s gone.

    she loves tulip very very much. and i still keep the polystyrene cut that she made for me that bears my name.

    Shaza : i’ve never heard of that. she had cancer since she was 13? she has a family you know. and friends. don’t be so quick to travel words, although i do understand ur intention is to describe how strong she was. that’s a sweet intention, but, keep the facts correct?

    Ebb : =(. ur a lovely friend, u have always been the loveliest one.

    felt the same as Anna felt. Reading over the blogs/journals of someone who left many memories/pictures.. tells the living, how she live her life and she’s so strong can’t see any negative emotion.

    Moon : hi moon. i actually have lost a member from my family as well. it was my stepdad. it was hard for my mother. so when my mother took care of him in the hospital (for about 2 months), slept and stayed there, i was always there for my mother. i slept in the hospital too, taking care of my mother’s needs. i think i understand u, because if i were to tell you the longer version of this, the financial crisis and all those dramas, i bet you’ll cry for my mom. u stay strong okay.

    Atie : it’s okay atie. i’m sure things happen for a reason.
