Blue Daisy for Ruri
What can I write about her? Too much we had in 4 years, too small vocabulary there is to tell all stories, all sweet memory she left behind. Four years are short, yet it felt like we’d been friends for so long. I don’t have the words to say the least of her quality. Kindhearted, reliable, meticulous, soft and firm at the same time, .. it’s just too many.
For me and my NCC friends, Ruri was our biggest inspiration in showing us what it meant to be a strong woman. Never give up, no time to complain, keep up the faith, and laugh merrily in the process! Life goes on, smiling never hurts, no matter how heavy the world on your shoulder.
All difficult tasks always went into her hand. Being an admin for almost 5000 members, taking care of all tools and equipments in cake decoration competition with more than 100 participants, managing almost all tasks that required a super detail mind in every NCC event, although at times she could not even be there.
When the cancer started to beat her, we gradually lost one of our strongest hands. Seeing her fighting the battle, not once she backed down, has brought mixed emotion: broken heart, yet inspired.Ruri, I still remember everything. And I miss every single thing.
So, here is to you, Ruri. May Allah have mercy and return your good deeds million times bigger. I miss you already.
**To honor our good friend Ruri, NCC Admin, owner of Kueh Ruri, who died of battling against cancer on August 5, 2008.**

Turut berduka cita untuk berpulangnya mbak Ruri. Belum sempat bertatap muka dan mengenal mbak Ruri secara personal namun sudah sering berkunjung ke “Rumah Ruri” sejak 3 tahun yang lalu, karena menggemari resep kue-kuenya. Masih ingat senyum manisnya yang lepas di halaman buku resep NCC dan senyum itu yang selalu saya ingat. Selamat jalan mbak Ruri…Tuhan mengerti betul apa yang terbaik untuk mbak Ruri…RIP.

aku inget banget kira2 November 2006 yang lalu aku browsing resep klapertaart di internet trus nemunya di blog Riana, ternyata itu resep dari mba Ruri.. mba Ruri walaupun saya belum pernah kenal secara langsung dengan mu, tapi dengan resep klapertaart darimu aku bisa cari uang tambahan. Bener yang Riana bilang sekali coba klapertaart Ruri orang akan mau lagi mau lagi… Thanks Ruri, semoga engkau mendapat tempat yang damai disisi ALLAH SWT. AMIIN.

setiap bikin klappertaart, pasti ingat ruri…sampai sekarang..
Gimana ngga, dia yang ngasih advise terus2an, bahkan saat sakit. Sempat dia minta dibuatkan awug, sampai udah janjian segala, sayangnya setiap aku bisa datang kerumahnya, setiap itu pula jadwal ruri ke dokter.
