 My father & Uncle Asman
Yesterday marked a very upsetting day for me & my family members as my late uncle, Allahyarham Asman Kim Bin Osman died early Sunday morning in Kuala Belait in an accident. My late Uncle Asman was a dedicated person and a bridge between the Koreans and Bruneians. A born Korean, he was adopted by my family when he was younger. Uncle Asman always joked about his title "Uncle", as his actual Pangkat would be "Nenek" so I would sometimes call him "Nenek Asman" and he would go "EEhhhhh, tua tia bunyi nya..." then I would say in my manja voice, " Okay lah, I'll call kita Abang Assmannn~" then he would start laughing.....I will definitely miss our conversations when he makes his business calls to my office.
He had charisma, was gentle, kind and a very active person. He was the general manager of his own company which he built up from scratch, he was also an active member of many associations as well as the Secretary General of the Brunei Korea Association of Friendship. He was to launch the opening of his boutique this coming Friday at the Empire which would be the first exquisite boutique for men carrying the brand, Verde.
Mudah-mudahan Roh nya dicucuri rahmat....Amin
Al-Fatihah~

Thanks Dillah for ur comforting words...
Its quite hard for me to accept at the moment. Its like his "work on earth" is still not complete. Its funny how I never really knew he was my uncle till couple of years ago. So since I started working at the embassy, I was informed by him that I was his niece...then very recently we became even closer as uncle and niece coz I was helping him with the launching of his boutique. I can still recall our last phone conversation and it hurts to know that that phone call was the last time I would ever speak to him. Mourning his death is harder than I thought. Everytime my colleagues talk about him, i cannot help but shed a tear.....

Yes, he will be greatly missed especially by his loved ones. Its a shock to most of us who knew him. A great soul has been taken, a soul so great that I was told that he was a true muslim as on most sundays he would drop by the church with ice-cream for the kids. Only a kind-hearted soul with a heart so pure would ever to that and I guess he was that soul. I know we all have to go one day, yet it seemed that he had not fulfilled some things in his life. I was suppose to be MC and introduce him to give his speech on Friday at his launching that he initially didn't want to do, but after alot of convincing and encouraging from me, he gave up and said he'd do it. Now I know why he didn't want to do it, maybe he knew he wouldn't be here....May he rest in peace....
P/S: I'm sorry for my babbling, but this is how I mourn the loss of a beloved family member, through words.... |
 | Oh dear, I didnt read this until this morning, which explains why I didnt offer my condolences yesterday... Deepest condolences from me and Jeeds to you and family at this difficult time. Al-Fatihah... |
 | takziah to you and family. I have not checked my multiply for a very long time , only after I read it from AB's blog |

The passing of uncle Asman, who is somewhat like my dad's adopted second cousin twice removed, (pokoknya bau bau bacang) has actually reconnected the younger generation of both our families and alhamdullillah we have become acquianted with one another. it was nice seeing you at the launching the other day reed's! |
