Since the day she gone, my tears still there every night before I lay my head to sleep. She's such an angel in my heart. She's inspire me so much through her works. Her films are artworks that stand on its own level (even though she always said that her films is not art films).
I still remember the first time I met her. The glow in her smile makes me believe that she's as wonderful as I imagine. It is true when people say that we can see great soul through a person's eyes. I don't know her personally but when I am looking at her at the first time, it is as if I know her all of my life. She speaks with her works and it came through to me as an inspiration, entertainment, advice and good example. All at the same time.
Years ago, I wrote this post called ' 2 Pakcik, Amani and Muallaf'. She immediately email me as soon as she read it. She told me that she love it and want us to meet so that she can arrange some time for me to watch muallaf. But sadly, her busy schedule makes the plan been postponed for several times. Till now I still haven't watch that film which the trailer already makes my heart shiver. But I am glad that I got the chance to meet this wonderful person and share thoughts with her. She also like my shortfilm Dia yang Sepi.
Now, she's gone to the after life. But she will always stay in hearts not just mine but everybody that have been inspired by her wonderful works and persona.
"Ya Allah, tempatkanlah Yasmin Ahmad bersama-sama orang yang beriman. Amin." Al Fatihah.
