aku adalah angin...

as free as the wind...

sometimes in bleakest moments of ur life, u need time to step back and look at the big picture of things. actually, when u come to think of it again… its at times when u are at ur lowest low lah that u have to look at the big picture of things in ur life.


life has its own way of working things out whether u realise it or not. it may not be to ur own whim and fancy, but… given the right push and turn on ur part… it just might turn out to be what u need in the first place.


guess that's all what u have to do now. or maybe, its a perfect time to do so. u've got ur own time to spare before things will start to heat up and in any case, there are things u need to do to make sure this problem of urs doesn't spread like the cancer u're trying to stop.


look at the big picture, it's just the only way u're going to think of a solution.

when u're thinking about sharing the horrible moments that happened during the past few days, when u're suffering from nauseating pain so bad, u want to kneel over and rip the painful parts off, u know u've crossed the line between reality and insanity.


at times like this it helps to have a partner that would drag you off to bed. yeah bed - if i could lie down and sleep - is good, and pain aint a good thing.


so i'm going.


no questioned asked.

balek kampung.

it aint the place where i was born, tapi aku dah jadik penduduk tempat ni sejak 4 bln slps keluar dari perut mak. this is the place where i grew up, the place where i learned, the place where i fell in love with ensiklopedia and got heart broken sbb papa tak belikan (mana mampu dowh!), the place where i sinned and saint. a place where serenity is not just a mere word - a place where it is lived. only in this place i can find peace.

but... something happened.

my eyes were opened for the very first time. i saw and i learned that sanctuary lies not in the land we go nor in the land we live, but it is in the heart that we care for. i was thought and my belives were strengthen not to give up hope but to hold it tight.

i felt reborn.

no more anger at my self. no more dissappoinments towards the flesh.

only gratefulness.
i see love.
i see hope.

ada kalanya dia merasa benar-benar tak berdaya
hanya mampu bersimpuh
menengadah tangan memanjat doa

berharap keajaiban akan datang
lalu mengambil alih hidup

tanpa dia perlu berjuang
kerana semua indera telah longlai
seperti jasad yang ditelan tanah...

how could one change form hate to love in a second?
how does one change from love to hate in a second?

how the hell do we measure happiness?
how the heck do we measure misery?

how come everyone tells me that everything will be alright, when i know it would not?
how does a man stand straight, when he knows his sins bear upon his shoulders, heavy?

how do you comprehend life?

these are the questions that i seek answer for.

dia tidak mungkin akan tahu

tiap saat waktu berlalu
kau semakin mendamba nya
selalu, sentiasa
dan kau

tekun menunggu digerbang hidup nya
dalam kesendirian
seketika badai
seketika hujan
walau petir menyambar
tetap kau tenang di situ

walau dia tak bisa kau sentuh
sebab itu tak selalu perlu

kerana kau meyakini
cukuplah dia ada
hadir dalam hatimu

sepanjang idop aku, i've been a troubleshooter of all sorts of things. the insecure issues of life, the complications in relationship, the crisis of faith, and even the never ending other pples' problems. panggil la aku bzbodi or anything, but there is not a day that still goes by that i am not knee deep in the personal life of another person regardless of what situation i'm in. entah lah… aku sendiri almost forgot how all of this started in the first place let alone how many pple i have lent a hand over the years. whether that's a good thing or not.


i do not know.


what i do know is, it isn't a question anymore about where i am headed in life. i already made a conscious decision a long time ago that it would be my destiny to help pple. the question that still remains unanswered is what would be the final hand to carry out that destiny?


at the back of my mind that age old plan of the world is still there. just me doing what i can to set things right again. enough talking about how to bring back the civillity and unity of the human race. enough talk about trying to end stupidity in the world. enough of all the discussions and whatever issues and just carry it out like a good little soldier i was raised to be.


of course… the high goals and dreams carry with it a high standard and cost of getting there. some i have already paid. some am still paying. the rest… i don't even want to imagine what they are. in any case, where i'm standing right now is a very large obstacle which unfortunately is of my own creation. aku yg pilih jalan ni, with all the knowledge of the years that came from my troubleshooting experience.


i really don't know where to go from here.

yeah talk about irony.

can't help but wish that my room wouldn't be so empty.

but needful things often start from that.

and i hope that could be a good thing.

could it?


meranduk luas samudera

menebar sayap di cakerawala
mencari erti yang tersembunyi
di balik kebesaran mayapada
laksana ombak
menerjang deras arus kehidupan
dan kemudian sunyi
menitik di titisan hari-hari
masih ada sampan kelmarin
terumbang-ambing di lautan lepas
tanpa pedoman
dan kemudian karam
terdampar di kehidupan
begitu sunyi
titik-titik kecil
menyebar jadi debu
dan berserakan sepanjang lautan
begitulah kita
ketika berhadapan
dengan kebesaran-NYA
maka kutepikan diri
di semenanjung-Mu sahaja
memeluk erat rasa
yang terus bersemayam didada
masih teramat panjang
perjalanan
yang mesti kulalui
namun pada-Mu jua

segala akan bertepi

i was listening to my playlist a while back, scrolling through my list of songs, each with its own distinctive memories and emotions…

when *BAM*, it hits me.

and just like that, i had my ‘moments’...

…that sudden deep desire to do something significant, something amazing, something meaningful, something romantic...

…that impulsive instinct to live a life only seen on big-screen romance, musical, and adventure films…

…that intense want of making a difference to lives… any kind of difference…

…that wonderful drive to excel and live life just the way God intended it to be – a fulfilling, lovely, and beautiful one…

...that undying and stubborn optimism in me, pounding on and on about a troubled world that still has hope (this is, i admit, a slightly miss world sorta moment)…

…that ‘unsatisfied-to-be-merely-where-i-am-now’ feeling that so often overwhelms me during periodic moments in my life.

i want, need and crave for something, but i don’t know what.

the reason why all this sounds so frighteningly vague and abstract is becoz it simply is, and that’s what worries me – why am i feeling this way? i despise going through ‘moments’ sometimes … too much to think about and more importantly, too much drama.

and because of the sheer lack of ability on my part to fully explain what i just feel, it frustrates me so.

sleeping on my troubles and praying about it helps, which is exactly what i’m going to do.

*sighs*

moments are wonderful, confusing, and embarrassing things. maybe it’s only becoz i’m intoxicated with swing and melancholic songs on my playlist. don’t know. am i the only one who goes through this mysterious wave of passion?
