Meet Kini
On holiday, aged nine, she wore her sister's bikini and climbed out
of that pool like a Bond girl making her entrance.
"Look at our Kini."
— and the name stuck for life
Her dad always called her Blue. Her resting place is called
Stairway to Heaven — blue stones winding upward.

The OCD legend
Kini's OCD was legendary — everything had to be just so.
"Mum! Do you have CD?"
Family friends told two-year-old Zain to ask his mum if she had OCD.
She shouted back: "What CD?" — because back then, it was still CDs.
