Pusaraman..
Went for my Grandmother's younger Brother's burrial today... It was a sad event. A sad day indeed.
My uncle came to pick my MUM and Grandma..to Pandan Gardens.. then I trailed my other uncle and auntie.. soon after. The residence was packed and there was no way you can get into the living room. The corridor was packed too so I ended up waiting with the rest of the family members at the void deck of the residence.
The atmosphere was sullen and quiet most of the time..
The late Samsudin... a good man indeed. A great musician a great artist... a great father... a great man.... always humble and well liked to others...
today... bus came down by the loads...
his colleagues from Jurong Shipyard came down by the loads... its heart-warming to see that your friends and colleagues come down to give you the last respect... i think they all got a half-day from the company....
Even Minister Yatiman Yusof came.. he was at Pusaraabadi.... at the burial site.. so kind of him make his pressence... he was there the night before..he came again today.
Yesterday.. even Nadiputra came down (A well known figure in Malay performing Arts and Theatre). Seems like they have a long history coz Mr Samsudin has been in the Music business for a long time..
He died of a heart attack.. he went to the private clinic on Sunday morning.. complaining of chest pains.. but the Doc said not to worry coz maybe its just a minor thing... he was given some medication..and was said to rest... Mr Samsudin always have his music practice at Tampines CC with his band mates... so he was actually was on the MRT when he had the heart attack. Luckily his friend was with him at that moment.. he was sent to Changi General Hospital... and hours later.. he passed away.. peacefully... his body was brought back to his Pandan Gardens Residence in the evening...
I have always admred him coz at his age at 67, he still dressed up in jeans and t-shirts. He leads an active social life... playing several instruments... has 4 sons all of whom didn't quite follow their father's musical inclination. But perhaps the man would prefer his sons to persue their own dreams. I am close to the youngest one, Rashid coz I remembered back during the Kampung Days of Pasir Panjang... we loved to play together... maybe because we are of somewhat the same age..
