A BIG smile from a suvivor
We were classmates back in .... from left: me, Arah, Connie, Abbey
Pink is my favourite colour
This, would you believe is the chorus of a song by a rock group!
It is my fav colour since I was a little girl. One Hari Raya, I was in pink from head to toe! Now, it is my girl, Nora's, fav colour too.
But the Pink Ribbon stands for something that every girl and woman fears. Breast cancer. A classmate of mine, Dr Zaharah (fondly known as Arah) is a survivor. Now she campaigns for anti-breast cancer by going round the nation on Harleys, rows from Port Klang to Penang on kayaks. The last time I met her, she was catwalking. She is a Chemistry lecturer mind you and counting her blessings for surviving the deadly disease which happened to take the life of my cousin's eldest daughter (she was only 32!). Her grandma died of cervical cancer many years before that. There's no stopping this pint-size lady. I showed my support by being at the "Outrageously Pink Nite" in Bangsar Village in pink. Perhaps one day I will invite her to give a talk on the subject (breast cancer not chemistry).
