Mahu

Mahu berbuat jasa
Tak perlu darjat setinggi angkasa

Mahu menabur budi
Tak perlu harta timbun berguni

Mahu mencari redha Ilahi
Tak perlu punya sejadah Turki

Children

the children walking over the bricks of their shattered homes

their mothers putting up a tent

their fathers in prison

the children in tears and confusion

looking at the armoured cars

coming down the streets

the men holding machine guns

the children with grief and pain

clearly visible upon their faces

may one day all your miseries wiped out

Submission

"........And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things."

[Al-Talaaq:2-3]

Ya Allah, give me strength and fortitude!

Dusta

Jasa tiada seberapa
Merengek mahu dimanja

Bakti sekumin semata
Megah dicanang serata

Keringat setitis cuma
Menyalak kata berguna

Terlampau

"Rahsia hubungan liar VIP dgn surirumah nakal yg TIADA di pasaran. Tertangkap dalam posisi kontroversi terlampau. Nak tengok Balas YA! Gosip Sensasi 2010"

Ish, entah sampai bilalah para pengguna telefon bimbit di Malaysia akan terus dihujani dengan spam sebegini. Rimas betul rasanya!!!!

The End

Last night I watched the series finale of critically acclaimed Lost, one of the best tv shows of all-time. As an avid fan of Lost who have been watching the show scrupulously since 2004, I couldn't hardly wait to see how everything on the show ends. So after six amazing seasons, Lost finally comes to an end. The question is, was the ending fulfilling? If one watch the series finale from the perspective of story line or mythology I am sure he or she would be left unsatisfied, because there are abundant of questions and mysteries left unanswered after the show ends. But if the series finale is watched from the perspective of emotion, one would find that it is extremely haunting and he or she would remember every single second of the episode for quite a long time or probably forever. Namaste!

Note: Sigh!! I am having Lost withdrawal symptoms at the moment! Definitely lost without Lost...

Balloon

Darth Vader: Luke, i am your father
Luke Skywalker: What?! My father is a balloon?!! (Pitam!!)

Hancur Luluh

I'm not going to comment about the price and I'm not really sure whether it's reasonable or not. One thing that makes me feel uneasy about the latest revelation from TM on its most awaited High Speed Broadband (HSBB) service is the capped download. Even though 60GB - 120 GB is rationally huge but we are talking about HSBB here. Arghh... hancur luluh rasanya. Haha!!

Lentera

hujan, naiklah ke awan
sungai, mengalirlah ke hulu
rama-rama, kembalilah jadi kepompong
kaki, melangkahlah ke belakang
waktu, baliklah ke silamku
ubatilah rinduku

rindu untuk mendengar
akan lunak suaranya
menutur ayat-ayat dari kitab agung
bertasbih memuji Ilahi
bercerita tentang kota suci

rindu untuk melihat
akan redup wajahnya
tenteram dan bercahaya
penuh tenang mendamaikan
menyejuk jiwa yang lara

rindu untuk menikmati
akan manis halwa hijau
lemak dodol hitam
dan rangup kuih sepit
yang tak pernah jemu
dibuatnya setiap lebaran

tapi mana mungkin dapat ke silamku
hujan akan terus turun ke bumi
sungai akan terus mengalir ke hilir
rama-rama akan terus menjadi rama-rama
kaki akan terus melangkah ke depan
waktu akan terus berputar
rinduku takkan terubat

Apa guna

Apa guna berbusana indah
Kalau diri takbur bermegah

Apa guna jauh berkelana
Kalau pulang lupa budaya

Apa guna bertimbun harta
Kalau kosong hati dan jiwa
