Aunty Esther's Family

I first met Aunty Esther when we met at Impiana KLCC in Kuala Lumpur. Jeffrey brought his mother and family. I was walking straight ahead into a 'big man' and he turned out to be my cousin Jeffrey. A good thing I didn't ask him, "You Mat Salleh ke?" That was my first time meeting him even though my siblings have met him before.

Aunty Esther looked just like my mother. I could not believe my eyes when I first saw her, and I had thought my mother was 'really alive and walking again'. I sat close to her to see if she was my real mother! How weird! LOL.

We went through my book (draft), affectionately called 'the purple book'. All my kids and my husband know which book I'm referring to if I mention 'buku  purple'.

Aunty Esther married to Uncle Aelian Cantlay Schokman on 5 September 1959. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2009.

They have 2 children, Jeffrey and Veronica.

Family Reunion 2013

When our family members met at Uncle Din's son's wedding at Majlis Perbandaran Sukan & Kebudayaan (MPSK) in Bertam, it was a wonderful affair. I never imagined I would meet everyone again.

I met uncle Din and family - wife Intan and son Kamarul Faisal.

I met aunty Intan's two sisters - aunty Chom and aunty Latifah (Prof Nor Hayati's friend).

I also met aunty Chom's only daughter, Aizura. I didn't see or recognise aunty Chom's 2 sons - Boy and Boboy.

I met aunty Esther and aunty Daisy, and their children.

I met aunty Esther's son Jeffrey and his family - wife Siti Noor Azar Majid, and daughter Nur Hanis and her friend.

I met aunty Daisy's daughters - Frances, Jenny and Vicky, and Vicky's husband and son.

Mild Heart Attack

Jeffrey SMSed to inform today (14 March 2013) that his mother, Aunty Esther, suffered a mild heart attack last Friday, 8 March 2013. She was hospitalised and had an angiogram done. One blood vessel was blocked by as much as 70%-80%. She then underwent an angioplasty procedure to open the blocked blood vessel - a balloon was inserted and a stent put in place. She is recuperating and is resting.

We pray that you will recover fast!

Aunty Esther was born on Friday, 10 March 1933. She recently celebrated her 80th birthday.

"Happy 80th Birthday!"

She worked in the Accounts Department in the Malayan Railway Administration in Kuala Lumpur until she retired in 1988.

Aunty Esther's husband is Aelian Cantlay Schokman. He had passed away two years ago, on 15 May 2011.

Aunty Esther has two children, Muhamed Al-Jeffrey and Veronica.
