Just Give Me A Reason

Image
Well, because I have been having this one on my replay lately. The more I listen to a song, more different interpretations come in. Everyone need a reason for something and once you found your ultimate reason for living, it keeps you going, you live.  And there's a difference between just live, and living your life. It doesn't have to be a person, not necessarily, just something special. It could be anything. It could be one thing, and it could be among so many things. As I listen to the song, I found it palatable to my thoughts, not in a way that you are in a romantic relationship (I'm guessing that's the main idea of the song originally) but, it is more than that. Put the idea of a song in an ocean of thought, and you'll be in amazement finding the ink running in different directions, but still, on the same ocean. It makes listening to songs more, universal and intriguing. I'm guessing learning literature had something to do with thi

Hey There #1

Assalamualaikum. "Searching to find myself, but all I find is you." It's 22nd February. So I guess in another nine days I'll be starting the new semester.  Yeay :|      Truth to be told, I don't feel like going back to Shah Alam at all. Not even a bit of enthusiasm. Like seriously, compared to getting into the previous three semesters. Looking at my last semester's exam result, I got like a lot to cover and to catch up but why oh why, semangat yang hilaaaang, kita cari pulaaaaang. Yeah ain't got no nothing to fuel up the motivation. But I guess it will slowly come to me as I get into the atmosphere, hopefully.      When I went to school the other day with Ayu to visit Sir Zaharani and other teachers, we met Cikgu Mat Noor, the counselling teacher. So he asked me, how was my result? A question to which I reply with only a smile, hehe. Segan ah.Then he told me that the other day, a former student of our school also came to visit, her res

Senjatanya ialah Cinta

Depan kau tebar kata cinta, Madu dan gula, madu dan gula ulangannya, Kata-kata dibuat jala, Untuk perangkap sisa kononnya. Tapi belakang erat kau genggam senjata, Sedia kau hunus bila saja dia alpa. Cinta? Bahaya.  Jaga madahmu wahai manusia.

They never look to see me fly, so I never have to lie. (Imagine Dragons, Tiptoe) Unleash your, unleashed side? "Andai saja kau tahu betapa dunia ini satu medium penipuan yang licik." Suara Wahid perlahan menuturkan nasihat berbekas falsafah kehidupan 20 tahun, memecah sunyi yang kian membukit antara mereka. "Mungkin, mungkin aku sudah lama tahu. Tapi kenapa ya, susah sungguh hati ini berpegang pada yang satu itu?" Hadi membalas. "Satu . . ." Perkataan itu diulang Wahid, lucu barangkali memikirkan betapa perkataan itu merefleksikan makna namanya. Setelah beberapa saat berfikir, dia menyambung bicara, "Untuk manusia, kalau ada satu, maka satu itulah juga yang dia akan pegang. Bebas dari pilihan kerana tiada pilihan. Sebaliknya, jika kau punya banyak pilihan, payah lah hati itu mahu memilih, apa lagi berpegang teguh pada yang satu." "Seperti pergi membeli belah." "Ya, seperti pergi membeli-belah. It

Demons by Imagine Dragons

   Ever since I started listening to Imagine Dragon's music, I kinda get hooked. I love it how heir music diversify beautifully, so different from one to another. It took me quite some time to go song by song. I don't know about you guys but I found some songs sometimes are kinda deep. It really is hard to tell what exactly the song writer is trying to convey by his music only by listening and assuming. Sometimes I wish that each song comes with the description of the background on how the song was inspired and written with the meanings and all or maybe there are MusicLiterature classes where we could interpret song lyrics haha lulz. One of the songs I love, thus making it qualified as this week's music choice (bajit Billboard chart haha) is . . . *drumroll Wait, the tittle is already up there. Oh well.  I just love the trail of imagination it could initiate at the first hearing and the way it opens up to so many interpretations. I heard this quite a few ti

Tasteless Coffee

Assalamualaikum. I've heard a super tsugoi analogy between hardship and life today. I altered it a bit though but still . . .      There was once a young man who had encountered so many many many hardships and endured so many many many unfortunate events in his life that he almost give up his life. His last resort was meeting a very famous motivational speaker at his town, sort of. He was hoping to get some advice. Let's just picture that speaker as an old wise guy with white beard wearing tiny spectacles, well now I'm picturing Dumbledore -.-'  Ah well that'll do.       So anyway, the young man asked the old man, "Oh wise old man, I have encountered so many hardships in my life. How do I deal with this?" And the old man told him, "Go to my kitchen. Take a handful of coffee powder and a glass of water. And the young man did as he was told. "Now, put that coffee into that glass of water and drink it. How does it taste like?" As

Love Letter #3

Kamsahamnida. Here :) "Mungkin Dia mahu mendidik, agar kekuatan itu kita cari dari-Nya yang terutama, bukan sokongan manusia semata." One's doubt actually taught us to have faith in ourselves which in the journey of establishing one, we look for the ultimate source of faith. May He guide us to the right path, and remind us of things we tend to forget in the wonders of everyday life.
