My Cousins

FaridahSunday, July 07, 2013my cousins No comments

I have 15 cousins, 8 are residing in Malaysia and 7 are in Australia.

I have met most of my cousins except for a few.

I met most of my cousins at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam, Penang on 2 July 2013. Faisal's wedding reception was held at the MPSK Bertam, a big sports complex.

It will be good to meet everyone for the first time.

I met uncle Din's son, Kamarul Faisal, once at his home in Seberang Prai, a second time when Bapak died, and a third time when he got married - at his wedding reception in Bertam.

So far, I met one of aunty Esther's 2 children - I met Jeffrey but not his younger sister Veronica. I met Jeffrey first at Impiana KLCC, and second time at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam.

I have not met any of aunty June's 5 children - Stephanie Druscilla, Gerald, Rex Allan, Vanessa Gloria, and Amanda Zoe. None of them came to Faisal's wedding reception.

I have met aunty Daisy's 7 children in Balga, Western Australia. I first met them when uncle Robert was still alive in 1988, long before Christmas. I met them again after uncle Robert died just before Christmas 1988. I met them again at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam on 2 June 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.

Faisal's Wedding

Affandi and I visited Aunty Intan at home in Seberang Prai. Uncle Din was away. Aunty Intan informed us about her son Faisal's upcoming wedding in June 2013. I can't recall the date, maybe 2 June 2013. Aunty Intan sent the invitation card to my sister Pah's house in Penang. I forgot to ask Pah about the card and date of the intended wedding. I have to write it in my time-table or I will forget altogether.

Mild Heart Attack

FaridahThursday, March 14, 2013Esther Schokman (nee Che Lah) No comments

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.

Muhamed Al-Jeffrey married Siti Noor Azar bt Majid and they have four children - Muhamed Armin, Nurlisa Sharmin, Muhamed Aiman, and Nur Hanis.

Aunty Esther has four grandchildren.
