A sombre mood at ERA.fm

Ever since Kieran left Era.fm, followed suit later by Linda Onn, I started tuning in to other radio stations,flipping between Hot.fm and Suria.fm. I felt that Era.fm have sort of lost much of its lustre without my two favourite DJs, although from time to time, whenever Kieran is on leave, I would tune it to Reza and Adi on my drive home.

I do love listening to Reza and Adi, and I also do love to listen to Aznil, but I simply can’t appreciate the jokes by Din Beramboi. I find it too silly sometimes. Could it be because I am a serious person? But I must admit though that when I do listen to his jokes and `sawáncara’, a flitting smile do cross my face, and I must say that he is a very talented guy, able to change his voice and character within split seconds. Not many actors are capable of that, and I have found myself laughing out loud sometimes as I drive to work in the morning. LOL! *blush*

But, yesterday, when I tuned in to Era.fm the minute I heard word that Din Beramboi had passed away, there was an obvious sombre mood in the air.

It was to be expected as Era.fm had lost a DJ who is family to the station. Most, if not all the songs, played over the air yesterday at radio Era.fm were songs that were very sombre and sad, which carries meaning of loss.

I tuned in to Era.fm almost all day yesterday, feeling the loss they felt yesterday though I am no great fan of Din Beramboi, but many were. There was even one caller who cried over the radio as she sends her condolences to the family of Din Beramboi.

Din Beramboi must have touched so many lives as is obvious when you see the flood of people that when to his funeral yesterday. He will be sorely missed by many people in the entertainment industry, I am sure.

To his family, I send them my condolences. Al-fatihah.

For The Little Boy

I `picked up' this photo (I hope the author does not mind since this is with good intentions) from Facebook which was posted by Nur Davina Skymmar.

When I saw this photo of Pak Nil (Aznil Hj Nawawi) kissing the forehead of Adik Aiman (coincidentally sharing the same name as my son), my eyes filled up with tears. I am touched.

Since I don't know how to tag, connect, or whatever you call it so that readers of my blog can read what Davina wrote, here's an extract from the article that she wrote at her FB...

Quote
"Everything happened so fast. When I called the hospital, it was just a normal follow up that i do, especially that I have been away for Eid. Never crossed my mind that, I received a bad news.

I called the mother immediately. Once she heard my voice, she cried. Enough for me to know what the situation is. Soon after that, started numbers of phone calls, sms and messages floating in the air. All for the little boy.

Adik Aiman really adores Mr.Hj. Aznil Hj. Nawawi, or famously known as Pak Nil. Ever since Adik Aiman met Pak Nil by coincidence, the photo that was taken is like Adik Aiman's precious treasure.

At 6 years old, Adik Aiman is fighting the pain at a degree that maybe some of us may not even have experienced before. The least I could do is... to help him get some of the wishes.

Syukur Alhamdulillah.. Pak Nil spent almost 1 and a half hour at Adik Aiman's house. Adik Aiman is in pain, not much conversations can be held.. but I saw Adik Aiman turned and looked at Pak Nil closely...maybe ,who knows.. in his heart saying..."Yeay! Pak Nil datang!! "

In dealing with this crucial moment.. everyone who loves and knows Adik Aiman need the moral support.His parents,siblings, relatives, friends... all need the strength to be strong..

Allah SWT has put all of us together.. in helping them to go through this difficult moment.. Subhanallah..

I thank you all of you for helping me to reach Mr.Hj. Aznil Hj. Nawawi. Only Allah SWT can repay back your kindness.

To Mr. Hj Aznil, AC and their friend ( sorry, I could not recall his name ).. thank you so much

p/s Pak Nil gave Adik Aiman a bottle of "air zam zam" that he brought back from his pilgrimage last year. Oh yes, Adik Aiman also received a Tom Tom Bak T-shirt and a cap. He hold it very tightly.

May Allah bless you all..."

May Allah bless Davina's heart and may Adik Aiman recover from whatever that he is suffering from.
