Family reunion - Allahyarham Mohamed Bin Hj Elias - the founder of our family on my mother's site.

Our beloved Mak Chom and Pak Dik, the only surviving daughter and son of Allahyarham Mohamed Hj Elias. Alfatihah to the rest of their seven siblings (resting in peace).




It all started a long time ago during the pre-world war with two persons in love, supplemented with hopes, determination and polished with strong values. Multiply that, many years later we are there to see ourselves; in a kingdom we call family. Stronger than bricks, unshaken by earthquakes and still standing tall through thick and thin provided that we all unite and withstand any hurdles in the name of family.

The late Allahyarham Mohamed Bin Hj Elias has left us so many years ago, about 70 years from the present based on my raw calculation. He died at the approximate age of 40, left a wife - the late Allahyarhamah Zabedah Bt Hassan and his 9 children but his legacy to excel and survive in life still lives on in each and every one of us.

For the memory of Allahyarham Mohamed Bin Hj Elias and for the love to our family, me and my sister Khadijah Mohd Noor - the blog author of 'millionaires are from the same planet' (we are the great grandchildren of Allahyarham) decided to create a new blog www.mohamedhjelias.com for our ever increasing and prosperous family.

Our first reunion was held on the 14th of October 2007 during the second day of the auspicious Hari Raya, conducted at our dearest Datin Hajjah Ummi Kalthom’s (fondly called Mak Chom to all of us) mansion in Johor Bahru. The function that started at 3.00pm was a success with guess (so many of us) comprising the children of the late Allahyarham, grand children, great grandchildren and the great great great….

To all of us, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and maaf zahir dan batin.

Ps : To all, photos (111 pieces altogether) can be viewed and downloaded from picasaweb.google.com/hanafinoor for free. A short 'quick time' video can be requested through email as it takes time to upload.
Pss : The memory of the late Allahyarhamah Hajah Mariah (MakTok to me and MakYah to relatives), my grandmother and daughter of Allahyarham Mohamed will always be in my heart. I could still feel her hand carressing my hair when I was little. Really miss her. Alfatihah.

Love.
Hanafi aka Napi (to my family)
