Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

watched the siaran ulangan (dunno how many times oledi this one being repeated on 8tv, hehe) of American idol Season 2 last 2 weeks.. only then i realized that the song sung by Camile Velasco - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was kinda catchy too.. originally sing by Elton John - lyrics as below ;)

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

a little Hi to my dear~

Anda mengetahui yg anda merindui seseorang apabila jantung anda berdegup pantas ketika teringatkan dia. Dan walaupun sekadar "Hai" daripada dia mencukupi sebagai penenang. anda mungkin menaruh hati kepadanya, cuma anda tidak menyedarinya ataupun anda tidak mahu menerimanya sebagai kenyataan.

Jangan jadi terlalu baik, saya akan merindui kamu. Jangan terlalu mengambil berat, saya mungkin menyukai kamu. Jangan jadi terlalu 'sweet', saya mungkin jatuh hati kepada kamu. Amat sukar untuk saya menyayangi kamu jika kamu tidak mahu membalasnya. seseorang yang membuat kamu jatuh hati kepadanya sebenarnya menyayangi kamu lebih daripada kamu menyayangi dia.

Jika seseorang hadir dalam hidup kamu dan menjadi sebahagian daripada kamu,tetapi atas sebab tertentu dia terpaksa pergi; jangan terlalu sedih ...terimalah kenyataan itu dan sekurang²nya dia pernah membahagiakan kamu. Masa akan menentukan segalanya, jika dia ditakdirkan bersama anda, dia akan kembali.

Jangan melarikan diri dari 'cinta' apabila ia berada di hadapan kamu, jangan melarikan diri daripadanya kerana suatu hari nanti, kamu pasti akan teringatkannya kembali dan menyesali perbuatan kamu itu. Hargai orang yang menyayangi kamu, bukan mudah untuk mencari orang yang menyayangi kita. yang paling berharga ialah hati yang ikhlas. Penyesalan terbesar dalam hidup ialah risiko yang kita tidak ambil. Jika anda merasakan sesuatu itu akan membuatkan anda bahagia, maka teruskan. Ingatlah bahawa kita akan melalui semua ini hanya sekali; mungkin tiada lagi peluang kedua. Masa tidak menunggu kita. Jika anda rasakan anda telah bertemu dengan orang yg sesuai, maka hargailah dia; jangan biarkan dia berlalu begitu sahaja. Jangan bertangguh kerana takut. Cubalah dahulu; atau anda akan menyesal kerana membiarkan ia berlalu begitu sahaja. Tiada sesiapa pun yang tahu apakah yang membuatkan anda benar² bahagia.

Ada 2 titis air mata mengalirdi sebuah sungai. Satu titis air mata tu menyapa air mata yg satu lagi,"Saya air mata seorang gadis yang menyayangi seorang lelaki tetapi telahkehilangannya. Siapa kamu pula?". Jawab titis air mata kedua tu, "Saya airmata seorang lelaki yang menyesal membiarkan seorang gadis yg menyayangisaya berlalu begitu sahaja."

Tiada sesiapa pun yang simpati kepada orang yang sengaja membiarkan peluang pergi begitu sahaja tanpa berusaha untuk mendapatkannya atau mempertahankannya. Kita selalunya tidak menghargai seseorang yang hampiratau menyayangi kita sehingga dia pergi meninggalkan kita; kemudian kitaakan sedih dan menyesal mengingatkannya.

Terdapat banyak bebintang dilangit tetapi hanya satu sahaja yang begitu menyerlah sehingga dapatmenarik perhatian anda. Dari kalangan yang anda pilih untuk abaikan ialah sebutir bintang yang sanggup menyinari anda walau dia mana sahaja anda berada. Orang yang bersama anda ketika ini mungkin bukanlah orang yang benar² anda sayangi.

Terdapat orang yang tahu dia tidak dapat bersama kamu ketika ini tetapi masih menyayangi kamu sepenuh hatinya, fikirkanlah. Lawaknya bila kita meletakkan standard untuk orang yg bakal kita sayangi, tetapi jauh di sudut hati, kita tahu yang orang yg kita sayangi itu terkecuali daripada standard itu.Kita amat kritikal terutamanya kepada orang yg kita sukai atau sayangi kerana kita mahukan yang berbaik untuk diri kita. tetapi, sebenarnya kesempurnaan dan hubungan terbaik dapat dicapai dengan berusaha bersama. ia bukanlah terletak kepada satu individu sahaja.

Cinta itu membuatkan anda gembira walaupun ia sering melukakan. Cinta itu istimewa jika ia diberikan kepada orang yg bertuah. Jika anda bertemu seseorang yang benar² menghargai anda, maka dia berhak mendapat kasih anda.

Menyayangi/mencintai itu umpama bermain piano. pertama, kita bermain ikut peraturannya. kemudian, lupakan peraturannya dan main ikut hati.

"Jika anda rasakan anda telah bertemu dengan orang yg sesuai, maka hargailah dia; jangan biarkan dia berlalu begitu sahaja. Jangan bertangguh kerana takut. Cubalah dahulu; atau anda akan menyesal kerana membiarkan ia berlalu begitu sahaja." <-- erks, no thanks, huhu.. not in favor of trying out things that may make me feel 'sick'!!

Meminggirkan Janji (Rinizan Razali)

MEMINGGIRKAN JANJI

(Rinizan Razali)

Teman akrabku

Kau kata bangga dengan bangsa ini

Kau lafaz kan erti merdeka padaku

Kau baitkan cahaya optimis dari sinar matamu

Kau ceritakan impian hari muka kepadaku

Teman akrabku

Aku merintih hiba dalam hidup ini

Aku diam membisu bila bicara erti merdeka

Aku kunci rapat diriku dalam ruang kaca

Aku padamkan impianku di depan khalayak

Teman akrabku

Ku lihat janji kepada Rasul kian longgar

Ku sedar ikatan rapat kepada Tuhan bagaikan longgar

Ku lihat cara kita

Ku nampak adat warisan pun terpadam sama

Ku lihat senyuman lalu semuanya pudar

Teman akrabku

Zaman agung lalu dihiasi dengan ilmu memenuhi rumah Tuhan

Zaman itu kita berdiri yakin menolak mungkar

Zaman itu penuh air mata disujud mengadap Tuhan

Zaman itu pengharapan bernilai sekali

Teman akrabku

Kini semua sibuk berpesta

Rumah Tuhan kita sunyikan kecuali matahari tinggi pada Jumaat

Kita hiburkan diri kita saban masa

Berpeleseran tunjukkan erti cinta

Kita terus bergelak ketawa walhal kita lingkup

Kita katakan harapan sedangkan individualisme yang kita binakan

Teman akrabku

Aku jauh dari mimpiku

Sewajarnya dikau pun sama

Tetapi kita ini dibezakan

Dengan angkuh pendirian kita

Teman akrabku

Aku sesak kerana meminggirkan janji

Aku lemas kerana janji tiada terkota

Aku tiada bisa menghormatimu lagi

Teman akrabku

Haluan kita berbeza mudik di sini

Aku memilih merenung janjiku

Biar dikau meminggir janjimu

Aku memilih sunyi sepi

Sekalipun dikau memilih temasya masyhur

Teman akrabku

Ku serah diri menghadap takdir Tuhan

Kelak bala akan turun

Tiada terelak lagi bagi kita

Semuanya kerana janji kita pinggirkan

Ampunkan kami wahai Tuhan...........

Pengantin..untuk semua..

Pada suatu masa yang ditetapkan...
Kita pasti dirisik..
Pertunangan sejak azali..
Di hujung hidup nanti..
Berlangsungnya perkahwinanmu dengan maut..
Hantarannya..sakit dan nazak..
Tamu bertandang menghadiahkan esak tangis..
Pengantin dimandikan..
Dipakaikan baju cantik putih..
Wangian gaharu dan cendana..
Keranda jadi pelaminan..
Pengantin bersanding sendirian..
Di arak keliling kampung..
Berkompangkan azan dan kalimah kudus..
Akad nikahnya bacaan talkin..
Berwalikan liang lahat..
Saksi pula nisan-nisan..
Siraman air mawar..
Keluarga terdekat menepung tawar..
Tiba masa pengantin..
Menunggu sendirian..
Malam pertama bersama KEKASIH..
Di kamar bertilamkan tanah..
Dan Dia menuntut janji..
Sucikah kita tatkala berpadu..
Pernahkah taubat sepanjang hayat..
Atau terkubur bersama dosa-dosa...
Dan Dia Kekasih itu..
Menetapkanmu ke syurga..
Atau melemparkan dirimu ke neraka

Nyonya Kebaya Splendour

*********************************************

Bagaimana kebaya tak sudah,

Tetap selesa dipakai Nyonya,

Bagaimana hati tak gundah,

Ternampak tubuh di sisi jendela.

*********************************************

(Sasterawan Negara: Dato' A Samad Said)

for the last few weeks, we can see that newscasters of TV3 wearing these beautiful, elegant nyonya kebaya. tv3 in conjuction with yayasan budi penyayang has held this makan malam amal with the theme - "Nyonya Kebaya - A Night of Elegance" (read the newspaper cutting here). cantik huh.. membuatkan aku terasa teruja untuk memakai nyonya kebaya.. hehe.. tp apakan daya, kedeboban dan kecomelan badan tidak mengizinkan.. tapi xpe, akan kuusahakan satu hari nnt, hehe.. kebaya nyonya, satu warisan peranakan yang cuba dikekalkan keindahan dan seninya oleh the First Lady. she even wrote a book on it, few years back.

Description on the book- The Nyonya Kebaya: A Century Of Straits Chinese Costume (by: Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, Malaysian First Lady)

"This longtime Malaysian fashion icon was originally a long, straight, Arab-inspired top of plain woven cotton. The Nyonyas, the women of the early Peranakan community, gradually transformed it into a shapely, embroidered, translucent blouse, fastened with a set of chained brooches and worn with a matching hand-drawn batik sarong. Sheer, romantic, alluring, yet sedate, the designs of Nyonya kebaya crosses several generations and cultures. This book showcases the collection of Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia."

thai's shutter

spent the wednesday nite with kak irma watching the new released thai horror movie in gsc ipoh parade - Shutter. the story was kinda cool, heh.. ;P some horror movie i've watched usually have seldom appearance of the ghosts or spirits, but then in shutter, you will always be surprised with the appearance of the spirit. huhu..

synopsis grabbed from movieseer;
The horror begins when Thun (Ananda Everingham), a young photographer and his girlfriend, Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee) accidentally crash a woman by the street while driving a car. They decide to leave the dead woman and drive away. Later, Thun discovers an unexplained event when he finds a mysterious shadow appears on his photo. He thinks that's just a bad picture, but then he realizes there's something more behind the shadow -- the shadow shows as the shape of the face that's familiar to the dead woman. Now, the couple gradually find out a terrible connection between the shadow and the photo.

all in all, the movie was good, sound effects plays a very good roll - sentiasa membuat aku berada dlm keadaan yang sangat saspen! hehe.. kesimpulan cerita - kesian kat hantu tu... kerana sayangnye die kat pakwe die tu, sbb tu dia jadik camtu.. bukan salah dia pun.. salah mereka dan keluarga mereka.. so beware, yes, you mr., jgn smp nnt awak kene bawak sy atas bahu sampai tua mcm thun dlm citer shutter ni plak!! hahaha~

Veer-Zaara

ever watched this movie? a good one though.. spent the whole afternoon wif mak-teh and anis in tgv watching another shah rukh khan great act.. huhu.. jadik keja lak la aku ni dok pi tgk citer hindustan kat movie - mekaseh makteh sbb blanja tgk wayang, hehe.. Veer-Zaara - kisah cinta lagenda.. hehe.. kinda sad though, kept crying all the way long!! a story of Veer Pratap Singh (played by Shah Rukh Khan), a squadron leader of the India Air Force, who falls in love with a Pakistani lady, Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta).. kisah percintaan yg membawa kepada konflik keluarga dan di atas kepentingan politik, masalah berlanjutan sehingga ke peringkat negara! Veer was kept in prison as prisoner number 786 for the past 22 years.. keeping his mouth shut all along to bare the pride of Zaara's family, Veer never talked to anybody until a young lawyer trying out for her new case - Saamiya Siddiqui (Rani Mukherjee) - came by to help Veer out of prison and fighting back for his identity and country.. until then only they started to reveal the truth behind the bars of the cell- about veer, about zaara, and their love - a love that is an inspiration, and will remain a legend forever~
