I have been convoluted to start my own personal blog for the longest time. Mainly because I could not find an angle or a strong reason on why I should start one and why should I maintain one. And also do i have the time in the world? What do I write on? My family? my hubby? My little gal? My work? My day-to-day life? My passion (which at this point of time other than my family is zilch)? The environment? Politics (which i don't really care shit)? Technology (huh?) Fashion (lagi huh??) WHAT?
Until one day sometime last week, I found out that a friend of mine passed away. To leukaemia, diagnosed in April 09. It was so sudden. She was not like a close friend or anything like that, but we did crossed path and worked together about 2 years back during TM days. And she was a vivacious, bubbly and passionate woman. Full of life and strong headed. So, when i heard about her demise, I felt very saddened at such a huge loss to this space that i lived in. It was so sudden as if a precious life was taken away just like that.
Anyways, to bring the whole thing together, I thought of her as an inspiration to this precious world that we lived in. And then.....I started thinking of "hey....why don't I write my own personal blog based on whatever that inspires me (or not)?" It could be anything...surely life is about inspirations and aspirations. For myself, my loved ones and everyone and everything else.
So....there.....welcome to my blog...my blog that I have decided to name "Moonstruck Mum" because I m a Moon (Yuet in chinese...grin) and i m moonstrucked by life. And I am a mum to a beautiful little gal. Whom I hope one day she will read thru my writings and thots and know what inspired her mom.
So, here's to you Ozlin Ozair...here's for inspiring me to start my blog. May you rest in peace my dear friend.

Dear Moonstruck mum,
ReplyDeleteI used to know somebody by that name, Ozlin Ozair, but have lost contact with her for a very long time. It came to very great surprise for me on hearing of her death as mentioned in your blog. I just wonder whether is she the same person that we know. I mean, I do know that her name is very unique, very hard to find someone else with similar name.
So, let's try and see if she is indeed the one.
She was born in 1974 (same as me), her family used to live in Penang. We studied together at PPP/ITM in Shah Alam from 1992-94. Then we went to the States. She studied at Boulder, Colorado, graduated in 1996 (last saw her in 1995). Used to work for Bozell then move on to other company..(not sure which). She's a malay girl, fair-skinned, dark hair, not too tall about 5ft5, wide forehead, nice brown eyes.
If she is the same person..please let me know. Please contact me at rocket_queen@yahoo.com. My name is Hafiz. Thank you so much.
