Of "As I was passing"...Adibah Amin


Time out! Let's pass "Time tunnel" to discover how much we have aged...:)

Remember Adik Manja? The movie that launch Dharma harun Rashid as a movie star? What about Cikgu Bedah? Adibah Amin took the role of Cikgu Bedah in that 1980 movie.

Back then, we used to wait with great anticipation for the then English newspaper Starits Times although we could only read it a day later. Even then, if there were some generous souls who were willing to depart with their newspaper to give us that chance to scoured the pages.

Our choice? Adibah's writing "As I was passing". Her style of writing was unmatched then, witty and full of daily anctidotes. It ranked high in this person's "What to do list" together with "Keluarga si Mamat" comic strip or anything connected to Lat (Bulat).

It is nice to hear that Adibah is still around although her movements are restricted due to stroke for the past three years. It is also heartening to know that Bakti donated RM 50,000 for her welfare.

At 74 years, this is how Adibah looked now...(sorry, I have cropped out certain personalities from the original photo...)

Adibah Amin: Ex-academic, novelist, journalist, actress...

Adibah Amin currently receives treatment in Universiti Malaysa specialist centre...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...

Most of us who read the Straits Times will not miss Sri Delima's As I Was Passing. I heard she was a recluse all this while untill this appearance. I am so happy to see her back in public. May she enjoy better health.

How time flies...remember the song "Yesterday"...

Experience teach us to be wiser...with a lil bit of help from Sri Delima, of course and a few pointers from "Keluarga si Mamat" :)
