“I live in this old house all by myself. It can get quite lonely – my husband passed away 12 years ago and all my four children live very far away. I see them maybe twice a year. When my husband first passed away, I did miss him very much. But slowly you get used to it. I have to move out soon because the owner of this house wants the property back. I have no place to go – luckily my friend has an extra room for me to live in. I’ll just stay there until it is my turn to go.” Jeriyah, Kuala Besut, Terengganu.
